Rachael Ray

What a lark!

Rachael Ray‘s daytime talk show has already been renewed for a new season, but sources say it may be the end of the line for the celebrity chef.

The Rachael Ray Show debuted in 2006 and was renewed in 2013 for another two years, but now her bosses, sources say, are starting to regret that:

Christina Pagliarolo, a teenager who hoped to lose 70 of her 260 pounds by taking part in a segment on the Rachael Ray Show, is now suing that show for the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of a personal trainer.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Christina says she was screamed at… forced to hike mountains… and placed on a StarMaster until she fell off after the speed was continually increased to an unmanageable figure.

Just a week ago, Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray made appearances on each other's daytime talk shows, and everything was civil enough between them.

That was then and this is now, however.

With all due respect to Tyra Banks, Rachael Ray may be the most self-serving celebrity in Hollywood.

The Food Network star never passes on an opportunity to earn a paycheck off her (stupidly-spelled) name, even if it means shilling for a company that produces the most unhealthy type of sustenance known to mankind: donuts.

The following is a true story, not some Saturday Night Live skit drawn up to mock extreme conservatives:

Rachael Ray may be a sell out, but at least she isn't a fear-mongering nut job such as Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin.

Rachael Ray isn't getting riled up about Cindy McCain stealing some of her recipes. Then again, we all know Rachael Ray is a shameless media whore and bona fide megalomaniac good sport, so this probably makes her excited!

The wife of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Cindy McCain cooked up some controversy when an intern shoplifted Rachael Ray's recipe for rosemary chicken, Ahi tuna and several other Food Network recipes.

Media whore Rachael Ray certainly has enough money to support children, having forfeited her soul in exchange for tens of millions, but that doesn't mean the Food Network magnate will be starting a family anytime soon.

"I'm too tired," Ray, 39, told Extra. "I feel like I'm a bad mom to my dog. I have five jobs, and I just don't think I could take on the biggest job of being a parent."

We hate Rachael Ray.

She spells her first name incorrectly. She's annoyingly upbeat, like an irritating version of Kelly Ripa. And, as a shill for Dunkin Donuts, she's a complete and utter sell out.

At least when Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt decided to be media whores... there was no pretense of them being anything but media whores.

But Rachael Ray, once a respected face on the Food Network, has taken heat - and many people think she should get out of the kitchen - for selling out.

The Hollywood Gossip staff received complaints after our previous celebrity look-alike post. Many readers felt Jennifer Toof didn't resemble Mena Suvari at all.

Or maybe they were just angry there weren't any new nude Toastee pics included.

Here's some marital advice for Rachael Ray: Maybe if you spent less time selling your supposedly gourmet soul to the donut devil, you could avoid celebrity gossip rumors regarding a divorce.

As it stands, however, Ray's time annoying America on billboards and in ads for Dunkin Donuts may be affecting her marriage. Perez Hilton sucks - and reports that Rachael's union with John Cusimano is in trouble.

Look out, Colby Donaldson!

Rachael Ray is assembling an army of herself to take over the kitchen.

Sorry, Jeff Probst.

Colby Donaldson has a new best buddy.

Rachael Ray, you never bite the hand that feeds you.

Especially when said hand belongs to Oprah Winfrey.

Good news for Jennifer Love Hewitt: There will soon be a new place for you to gorge on cheeseburgers.

And - based on the picture to the right - the chef cooking up your favorite food may not be wearing a shirt. But topless or not, Rachael Ray has announced her next brand extension will involve burgers.

We're mostly referring to the competition that kicks off today when Rachael Ray debuts her new talk show.

What will Oprah Winfrey talk about when she helps to kick off the new Rachael Ray talk show next month? You'll have to tune in to find out - but expect a few references to how straight Gayle King's best friend is.

On August 3, Oprah made a surprise stop at the New York City set of Ray's show, where she hung out for the entire taping, met the audience, got a full tour of the set and shared some on-air coffee talk with Ray.
