Does perky chef/talk show host Rachael Ray not realize which side her bread is buttered on? TMZ.com reports the annoyingly enthusiastic daytime gabber may have made disparaging remarks about her mentor, Oprah Winfrey.
Sources tell the gossip site that Ray got boisterously vocal at a dinner on Dec. 3, 2005, when she was finalizing her show's syndication deal with production company King World. According to TMZ, the energizer bunny sat down with seven others at Houston's Restaurant in L.A.'s Century City Shopping Mall after a book signing, where she proceeded to drink four glasses of wine and complain about the all-powerful O.
The site reports Ray became "extremely loud and aggressive" while describing a portrait of Winfrey that hangs in the Chicago offices of Harpo Productions. The picture, taken during the Beloved film shoot, shows the talk-show mogul in character, wearing a peasant skirt and scars on her back.
"Why is she wearing slave drag? She obviously has problems being black," Ray allegedly ranted to her dinner companions.
Oh no she di'int!
But that's not all. According to TMZ's sources, Ray then sent her drunkenly venomous sights on Hollywood couple Brangelina, calling Brad Pitt a "pussy boy" and Angelina Holie "a skanky, backdoor cunt." Wow. Guess she hated Mr & Mrs Smith even more than we did…
Ray's publicist, Charlie Dougiello, shot down the TMZ story, telling the site, "Rachael did attend the dinner referenced and enjoyed wine and good conversation with friends and colleagues. She denies making any of the comments referenced. In fact, there are several words that are attributed to Rachael that she has never uttered in her life.
"Neither in public nor in private has Rachael made a disparaging or cruel remark about her friend and mentor, Oprah, nor a celebrity couple she has never even met,” Dougiello continued. “There were several associates of Rachael's at that table who, unprompted, agreed that Rachael never made any of the comments she is being accused of making ... and it seems very convenient that these accusations are being levied at a time when Rachael's success has focused the public eye on her."
That's a shame. For one brief, shining moment, there was a small glimmer of hope that Ray actually possessed some semblance of a personality.
The Web site, ParisExposed.com, launched Tuesday. It boasts that it has an array of Hilton photographs, home videos, diaries, love letters, recorded phone conversations and phone numbers of friends and celebrities, all left behind at a Los-Angeles based storage facility.
The items were sold to an unidentified buyer after a third party failed to make payments to the facility, and eventually wound up in the hands of a broker aiming to sell them, Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz, told The Associated Press Tuesday.
Hilton's first big-time exposure came through a sex tape that also took a circuitous route to the public, first appearing in bootleg form in 2003 and then put up for sale in 2004.
All the new goods "were acquired by me through a broker," said Bardia Persa, who created ParisExposed.com. He noted that he obtained the Paris possessions in September.
Users must pay a monthly fee of $39.97 to gain access to the site, which promises footage of the 25-year-old heiress in a "sexy bubble bath" video. It also says it has various shots of Hilton in "racy situations," and footage of her drinking with friends and using illegal substances.
Wow, I guess I can see why the producers of ANTM were all up on Tyra for losing weight. She really packed 'em on. That being said, at least she still looks like a model, a plus size model, but hey what's the difference?
The aspiring rapper is urging his estranged wife Britney Spears to get into rehab, according to the upcoming issue of Star.
“Kevin has tried to convince Britney to check herself into rehab from every possible angle,” a source told the tab. “First he tried threatening to take away the kids, then he tried pleading with her to take care of herself.”
K-Fed even teamed up with his former nemesis, Spears' mother Lynne, in an effort to convince the “Toxic” singer to get help. “He’s afraid she’s going to hurt herself,” says the source.
Federline is also concerned that Spears doesn’t spend enough time with their children, claims the insider. “They’re being raised by strangers,” he said. “He told Britney to get help before it’s too late.”
Smith's ex-boyfriend, photographer Larry Birkhead, says he is baby Dannielynn's dad.
But Smith says her longtime lawyer, Howard K. Stern, fathered the child, who was born in September in Nassau, Bahamas.
"She used the F-word and she told Larry she's not going to do it. She said she has no intention of obeying this judge's order," said Birkhead's lawyer, Debra Opri.
Opri said she will seek to have the buxom blond model, who now lives in the Bahamas, found in contempt of court, a move that could lead to her arrest if she reenters the U.S. "She'll pay the piper sooner or later," Opri said.
On the eve of the DNA deadline, Birkhead instant-messaged Smith urging her to "do the right thing."
Smith shot back "u wish" and "in your dreams," Opri said.
Judge Robert Schneider's order required both Smith and the baby to submit saliva samples to lab techs hired by Birkhead by Jan. 23. The techs went to Nassau to collect the mouth swabs, but she didn't show up at the location.
Smith's lawyer, Ron Rale, went to court in L.A. yesterday in a last-minute bid to have Schneider's DNA order declared invalid in the Bahamas.
All I have to say is that I feel so bad for this poor child. Her entire life she will have to deal with Anna Nicole's white trash insanity. Poor girl
