The Most Bizarre Controversy Ever
By Wyatt Earp | March 3, 2009
Anyone else have a craving for strawberries?
Believe it or not, TV chef Rachael Ray doesn’t regret her FHM photo shoot . . . the one she did six years ago!
Rachael Ray ’s mother was furious when she stripped down for a racy 2003 FHM photo shoot, but the 40-year-old talk show host has no regrets.
Why the Hell is this news now?
“I think I was 35 at the time,” she tells ABC’s Nightline in an interview airing Monday. “And I thought about it for a while, and I said, ‘You know what? This magazine has as young as 17-, 18-year-olds in hottie bikinis, and these are all actresses, models, pin-up girls. I don’t belong to any even remote club of theirs.’”
“And I thought, ‘If I’m gutsy enough to do this, this is a good thing for everybody. This is the everywoman, here she is,’” she adds. “And I did it, and it was the most scared I’ve ever been, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d do it again tomorrow.” (H/T - )
Look, the photo shoot - like Rachael herself - is pretty hot. Why is took the news media to ask her about it now is beyond me, but at least it gives me an excuse to post her photos.
Yeah, she cooks even when she’s not in the kitchen.

I saw that article yesterday and wondered the same thing. Truth be told, I almost made Rachael this week’s Nobody Move! Babe of the Week, but I saw that picture of her holding the pie and I got hungry. By the time I got back from the kitchen, I had forgotten all about her. And my pants didn’t fit anymore.

Why now, years later:
1 Not had enough publicity recently
2 Is she about to publish a book?
1 + 2 + Exhibitionist tendency (”There’s a nutty Marshall who will pick up on this and give me a good piccy”)
You’re being used, Marshall!

I like the ones of Cat Cora better.

Rachael nailed it (oh yeah pun definitely intended). She is the everyday woman. Not a supermodel. That makes her THAT much hotter. Her mouth is a little big but…hmm, no problem there. She’s slammin’. Period.

Now the kitchen..that is a pornucopia..I mean cornucopia of sensuality. Warm buns, tarts, cream pies, “rising” bread, muffins, soft and doughy, pies in general, creme filled eclairs, hot ovens, not to mention kitchens are usually described as the “friendliest” room in the home.
The lexicon also..Brandy has something in the oven, hot as a skillet..ah where was I? Oh well guess I’ll have to settle for a cold one from the fridge.

You guys need to get out more.
Ever heard of Nigella Lawson?
She’s prettier, has bigger fun bags, and her cookbooks blow Rachel away.
