Rachael Ray Feeds a Giraffe

Rachael Ray, zookeeper?
She's not quitting her day job, but for a fun visit to the Philly Zoo, the talk show host got to work closely with the animals, like this giraffe.
In addition to feeding an entire family of giraffes and giving watermelon to tortoises, Ray approached a lion named Zenda (staying a safe distance outside the female's den) and fed Zenda some evaporated milk, one of her favorite treats.

Rachael Ray's Food Truck for Dogs Gets Rolling in N.Y.C.
Originally posted 10/18/2012 11:25AM
If it seems like the food truck trend has gotten a bit ... mutty lately, blame Rachael Ray.
The talk show host introduced a mobile food truck to New York City on Thursday, and its intended clientele are of the four-legged variety: dogs.
Ray, a passionate animal advocate, used the "pup-up truck" as a vehicle to unveil a new line of wet dog food from her charitable pet food company, Nutrish. The first in line at Columbus Circle were local rescue pooches from Best Friends Animal Society. On the menu? Chicken muttballs, chicken paw pie, beef stroganwoof and tail waggin' turkey.
"I cook doggie versions of all the human meals I make," Ray told PEOPLE at the pup-up truck's first stop. She first toyed with the ideas for the wet food line, called Nutrish Naturally Delish, in Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine.

Rachael Ray Meets Bo Obama!
Originally posted 05/25/2012 04:30PM
It isn't everyday that Rachael Ray gets to meet the country's most beloved dog – but on a recent day at the White House, the talk show host got to meet Bo Obama for the first time.
For a special episode of the Rachael Ray Show, Ray joined Michelle Obama for a barbecue on the South Lawn. They cooked up three dishes using ingredients from the First Lady's vegetable garden.
As if that weren't enough of a treat, Ray (who makes no secret of her bias towards dogs) sat down with Bo for an "interview," during which they looked through Mrs. Obama's new book, American Grown.

Kiefer Sutherland Has a Talent for Rodeo

"One of the things I use to do a lot to relax was rodeo. I use to do team roping. I rodeoed with the U.S. team champions – and I went to their finals in 1994 and 1996. I did most of my stuff out west. I would run a circuit from middle of Texas from far east [and] I would go all the way to California."
• Kiefer Sutherland visits the Rachael Ray Show to discuss his upcoming show Touch and reveals a hidden talent on the episode set to air April 5.

Tired of turkey?
There's more to Thanksgiving than the staples, and Rachael Ray is serving up something that might just score with the whole family.
Her hearty Touchdown Chili – which brings the heat and a generous helping of beef – is the perfect companion for kicking back on the couch and watching football, regardless of which team you're rooting for.

Joy Behar: I Wouldn't Wed Until the In-Laws Were Dead
Originally posted 11/07/2011 01:50PM
Joy Behar originally said it was the passage of gay marriage legislation in New York that finally encouraged her to say "I do" to Steve Janowitz, her beau of 29 years.
But now The View co-host admits there was an additional factor involved.
"I waited until all the parents were dead," Behar, 69, said on Monday's Rachael Ray. "So I have no in-laws at all. He has none and I have none. 'Cause marriage is mostly about in-laws, I find. They always want you to visit them and come for lasagna."
In-laws aren't the only thing about marriage Behar hoped to avoid.
