Celebitchy – Last week, Martha Stewart let ‘er rip on what she really thinks of Rachel Ray. It was not pretty, but it classic Martha. Martha told Nightline that Rachel is “more of an entertainer… than a teacher” and that Rachel’s barely refigured recipes that Rachel is reselling in a new cookbook aren’t, in Martha’s words, “good enough for me.” For her part, Rachel seemed to take the criticism in stride immediately, even telling media outlets that Dame Martha was simply being honest, and that Rachel herself would prefer food prepared by Martha to her own crap.
But it looks like Martha felt bad about the incident. So she backtracked a little on her Monday show, saying that there were “no bad feelings” between the two women. Martha even called Rachel “enthusiastic” which I gather is one of the highest compliments Martha can give someone.
Martha Stewart says Rachael Ray can’t hang with her in the kitchen. In an interview Stewart says “Well, to me, she professed that she could — cannot bake. She just did a new cookbook which is just a re-edit of a lot of her old recipes… and that’s not good enough for me.” She also says Ray is “more of an entertainer … with her bubbly personality, than she is a teacher, like me.” Rachel Ray says “Martha’s skill set is far beyond mine. That’s simply the reality of it.” But she adds that “that doesn’t mean that what I do isn’t important too.”
Radar – Farrah Fawcett left $4.5 million to her son Redmond, $100,000 to an ex-lover and nothing to long-time love Ryan O’Neal and the other cast of characters who fought over her cancer documentary during the star’s final days.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained a copy of Farrah’s will and it reveals that she did not get her final wish – to die at home.
The will was updated for the final time on August 9th, 2007. Farrah died from anal cancer on June 25, 2009 at age 62.In the will Farrah made clear that she wanted to die at home.In paragraph 5.2 a the will states: “”Settlor (Farrah) declares that she wishes to remain at home for as long as possible during any period of illness or incapacity and to die at home.”The former Charlie’s Angel star passed away at St. John’s hospital in Santa Monica, California.
In addition to leaving the bulk of her fortune to son Redmond, the official documents reveal Farrah left $500,000 to her nephew Greg Walls, $500,000 to her father James and $100,000 to ex-lover Greg Lott.
Ryan O’Neal, Craig Nevius and Alana Hamilton Stewart all were not named in the will. Alana filmed much of Farrah’s final documentary and wants to release a part two. Ryan claimed he asked Farrah to marry him in her final days and made several tearful TV appearances.Nevius claimed that O’Neal and Hamilton pushed him out of Farrah’s cancer documentary in her final days.
Lott spent the past few months claiming to various media outlets that he was Farrah’s secret boyfriend. He told a British newspaper he last spoke to her April 9 and says that Ryan banned him from seeing her.
The 67-year-old lifestyles guru (whose 153-acre Cantitoe Corners has become a topic of high interest and curiosity among her fans) is welcoming them, and the rest of the world, for an unprecedented visit on Monday’s “The Martha Stewart Show” (syndicated; check local time and station).
“So many people ask me, `What’s the farm like? What do you grow? What animals do you have?’” she explained to a reporter. “I decided it would be fun to kick off the fourth season at the farm — fun for the crew, too.”
Any other weekday, “Martha Stewart” would be originating from Manhattan, often live, in front of a studio audience. But this taped premiere called for mobilizing a staff and crew of 100 (and enough equipment to shoot a feature film) at Stewart’s estate, a spread she bought eight years ago
