Does Rachael Ray prefer Starbucks coffee? New York magazine’s food blog, Grub Street, has posted a damning report from the set of the latest Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. According to an eyewitness, Ray reportedly “took one sip of her Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, yelled ‘What is this shit? Get me MY coffee,’ and would not continue until she was given ‘her’ coffee—i.e., Starbucks.” If this anecdote is true, it once again proves that Ray will indeed promote anything—even stuff she despises. Perhaps she should pull back a little on the endorsements, faked or not, and focus on saving her magazine. —Posted by Tim Nudd

You have to wonder about anyone who would put out a magazine with their name on it, and then has THEIR PICTURE on the cover of EVERY ISSUE (like Oprah!).

That just seems like narcissism out of control.

Perhaps we are taking this account too seriously? There are - after all - two sides to every story. Don't forgot, people like Rachel are often told what to do by their agents and promoters - things like putting their image the cover of their books and magazines.

oprah and rachel obviously don't have any friends because they are rude and too honest to their respective crowds.

besides being arrogant
