Rachael Ray Denies Having Throat Cancer Scare
Originally posted 10/03/2008 03:40PM
Rachael Ray is shooting down reports that she had a throat cancer scare and is about to be silenced for two months by surgery.
The bubbly Emmy winning talk show host is having surgery – but it's not as serious as reports suggest, according to her rep.
"Rachael is the picture of health. She is having very minor surgery to remove a benign cyst on her vocal cord," says Charlie Dougiello, a spokesman for Ray. "It's a common in-and-out procedure that she will have in early December and it will not adversely effect any of her daytime show or Food Network tapings."

Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks Win Daytime Emmys
Originally posted 06/21/2008 01:00AM
Ellen DeGeneres did it again – claiming the title of outstanding talk-show host, for the fourth year in a row – at Friday night's 35th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, where a jubilant Tyra Banks and Rachael Ray also ended up in the winner's circle.
"I never take this for granted," said DeGeneres, clutching her shiny statuette. "I know every single year people joke about it." Besides acknowledging her show staff and partner Portia de Rossi, DeGeneres also thanked her show's fans, "amazing, amazing people."
In something of a surprise, however, instead of Ellen's winning a fifth consecutive Emmy as best talk show (entertainment), the accolade went to Rachael Ray. "Holy cat. That is exciting," said the cooking host. "I really can't breathe."

Rachael Ray welcomes the world into her kitchen every day. But finding eating companions wasn't always so easy. For years, she says, she was a lunchtime pariah.
"I had the lunchbox that cleared the cafeteria," the Rachael Ray Show host told PEOPLE in NYC Thursday, at a party for Food for New York and The Lunchbox Fund. "I was very unpopular in the early grades."

Rachael Ray: All The Dish!
Originally posted 05/03/2007 12:00PM
For a woman who earns about $10 million a year whipping up everything from chicken and honey-buttered waffles to sea-bass puttanesca, Rachael Ray is the first to admit that her skills in the kitchen are handily outmatched in her own house. "My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air," she says, seated at her dining room table – and wearing blue cotton pajamas, her preferred at-home attire – while her husband, entertainment lawyer John Cusimano, sits nearby in their modest Manhattan apartment. "I call him from the road, and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I'm not a better cook than my own husband!"
