Easy 10-minute bigotry!

This literally could not be more amusing.
I've always thought/knew Rachel Ray was evil...

Did Rachael Ray Slam Oprah with Racial Rant?
Wednesday January 24, 2007

Recipe for a scandal: Take one serving of Rachael Ray, add four cups of merlot, let simmer, and watch the racism bubble to the surface!

According to TMZ, Ray got wasted and made racist remarks about the woman who helped launch Ray's daytime TV talk show – Oprah Winfrey – at a group dinner in December 2005.

The meal took place at the restaurant Houston’s in an L.A. mall (the horror!) shortly before the perky chef’s show was sold.

Ray had “at least four big glasses of red wine,” became "extremely loud and aggressive," and began hating on Oprah.

She reportedly described for the group a portrait of Oprah from the movie Beloved that sits in the lobby of Harpo Productions in Chicago. The photo features Winfrey dressed as a slave, her bare back enhanced with scars.

"Why is she wearing slave drag?” Ray ranted at the dinner. “She obviously has problems being black."

For good measure, the one-time FHM pin-up girl weighed in on Brangelina, calling Brad Pitt a "p-ssy boy" and Angelina Jolie a "skanky, backdoor c-nt."

Ray’s publicist tells TMZ, "Rachael did attend the dinner referenced and enjoyed wine and good conversation with friends and colleagues. She denies making any of the comments referenced."

Despite the rep’s denial, we predict Ray will go easy on the merlot the next time she finds herself dining at the local shopping center. And she’ll probably take special care to ensure that all of the food groups are represented equally in her cooking on the Rachael Ray Show, lest an audience member be moved to stand up and shout, “Why’s it always gotta be a WHITE truffle?”

As for Oprah, she’ll likely take a subtle tactic of revenge. Perhaps the next time she invites the cook onto her show, O will leave a special Rachael Ray Edition turkey baster under audience members’ chairs, and have the baster-wielding loyalists storm the stage after the interview and beat an apology out of Ray. Naturally, it will be a diginified and tasteful beating to be broadcast later on Oprah After the Show on the Oxygen network.

Oh brilliant. I could care less for Rachel Ray. She's a bore, and when she's not boring, she's annoying. I'm glad you're on the other side of the Atlantic to enjoy...Nigella...instead. Hmmm, no, Rachel Ray trump Nigella in awfulness. Heart!

Hi there! I'm a friend of Hallie Elsner. I met her on the BU Paris program last year and she told us all about your blog because of the HILARIOUS post about European guys. I've been reading your blog ever since and it never fails to make me crack up. I will hopefully be going to school in Paris and London in the next year or so and it's just really fun to know what's up over there!!! Keep up the sarcasm. It's awesome :)
