Kathy is featured in the July/August issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray in the “Celeb Fridge” feature.

Kathy’s been getting so much buzz for her lean, sexy figure, and of course we can always rely on Kathy for honest, border-line obnoxious, and undeniable funny commentary.

One glance of her fridge:
“Yes, it does look like I live on a liquid diet – but not the same type as my mom. She lives on boxed wine.”.

Assistant or slave?
“Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this but I basically forced my assistant, Tiffany, to become my personal chef. One day she made the lethal mistake of letting me know that she could cook, and the rest is history. I’m all for getting every last bit of blood out of the stone – it’s just not enough that she files my paperwork and runs my errands.”

Her ideal dinner party guests:
“I’d invite you, my mom and ‘the divas’: Dolly Parton, Cher, and Liza Minnelli. You’d make great food, my mom would be hammered, and the divas would be singing and dancing. Oh, and I’d invite the head of the Academy [of Television Arts & Sciences], so I can work on getting another Emmy.”

Words of Wisdom:
PRIORITIZE.
“I value my Emmys more than people, and even bring them to dinner parties. They’re quite versatile actually. I’ve thought about hanging calamari from talons or using the globe as a whisk.”

PLAN AHEAD.
“To get Rachael to cook a dinner party for me, I’d invite her as a guest and tell her she won’t have to do a thing. When she walked in, I’d fake-cry and say the caterer canceled. But I’d magically have her favorite ingredients piled right on the counter.”

BE BALANCED.
“Life can be tough, so I don’t make it more difficult by starving myself. I admit that I sometimes forget to eat because I’m mesmerized by my awards. But usually I find that avoiding certain foods, like carbs, just makes for cranky, bitter, and angry people. I’m bitter enough already!”

 

Perhaps Rachael Ray isn’t the most hated woman at the Food Network after all. Sure, she caught some heat from chef Anthony Bourdain recently, but fellow cooking star Giada De Laurentiis has shot down rumors of a rivalry between the two famous female foodies.

“Do we hang out all the time? No. Are we best friends? No,” the Italian bombshell admitted in this month’s Redbook. “But if you’re not best friends, people assume that you hate each other. We laugh about it. We do these festivals together, and she’ll say to me, ‘Oh, we’d better take a picture together and smile, because if we don’t, God only knows what’s going to get written about us.’ She’s a lovely person.”

The “Everyday Italian” host also addresses critics who accuse her of being too sexy for a cooking show. “I think it’s okay to cook and be sexy. Why not? I do get a lot of e-mails from women, saying to me, ‘You don’t have to show cleavage to get the male audience.’ I don’t [need to]. That’s just how my body type is, and I’m very comfortable with what I have.”

Anthony Bourdain is stirring up more trouble with Rachael Ray.

The Travel Channel’s “No Reservations” chef mocked Ray yet again in a recent Facebook blog after the smoky-voiced talk show host booked one of his favorite bands for her party at the SXSW music fest.

“On a completely off-subject note, I read something really disturbing while leafing through a magazine in my most recent airport,” Bourdain scribed in a note entitled “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?” “Rachael Ray, it appears, when booking acts for her South By Southwest indie rock-meets-Sloppy Joes fest, invited the New York Dolls to perform. THE NEW YORK DOLLS!! It is an article of faith with me that the Dolls were one of the greatest, most important, criminally neglected, wildly influential bands in the history of well … the freakin’ UNIVERSE!!”

Bourdain has never been a huge fan of Ray’s — he’s called her a “bobblehead” and “freakazoid” in the past — but if his Facebook page is any indication, he may be changing his mind soon.

He writes, “This development … following hot on the heels of Rachael saying nice things about me on ‘Nightline’ [she told interviewer Cynthia McFadden that she “absolutely loves” Bourdain and has “an enormous amount of respect” for him] has caused me no small amount of confusion, panic and misery. I don’t know whether to go out and shoot a puppy, or send Rachael a fruit basket. It just does me no good at all to think of Rachael as a Dolls fan. It’s really only a matter of time now until my daughter looks up from her grilled cheese and says ‘Yummo!!’”

However, we hear that Rachael’s response to Anthony’s ramblings was to have a basket of fruit delivered to his home on Monday. Even sweeter was the accompanying note, which asked Bourdain to please refrain from shooting any pups.

Although Bourdain’s rep claims to have no knowledge of said basket, Ray’s publicist Charlie Dougiello says, “With regard to Tony’s blog comments, Rachael has enormous respect for Tony and hopes he can make it down to SXSW next year. And while Rachael knows he would never hurt an animal, she’s still hoping he can send some fruit, too.”

RACHAEL Ray (above with husband John Cusimano) is officially an indie-rock groupie. During a performance by Semi Precious Weapons at her South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival preview party at Santo’s Party House downtown on Wednesday, the 30-minute cuisine cutie got onstage and screamed, “Not only is lead singer Justin Tranter the most attractive person I’ve seen, but I also want his high-heeled boots!” Then she jokingly tried to steal Tranter’s boots while grabbing his rear end several times. Ray will host an official SXSW party in Austin, Texas, in March.

It won’t be a quiet holiday season for Rachael Ray after all. The Emmy winning talk show host, known her for gift of gab, will not have surgery on her vocal cords this week as had been scheduled

“During the course of normal pre-op care, Rachael started an intensive new vocal therapy and it is now the opinion of her doctor that surgery may not be necessary,” Charlie Dougiello, a spokesman for Ray, said.

Last month, Ray said that she planned to carry a pencil and paper around to communicate with husband John Cusimano after undergoing surgery to remove a benign cyst on her vocal cord.

Now there’s no need for the TV chef to buy extra pencils – or curtail her chattiness.

“Rachael is very grateful that it won’t be a silent Christmas and thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes,” adds Dougiello.

The TV chef was supposed to “host” a Burger Bash contest in Dumbo on Friday from 7 to 10:30 p.m, but “didn’t come out of her green room until 9,” a source reports. “They built a tent for her and she stayed in there most of the night,” leaving briefly to sample the burgers she was judging and a chocolate mousse from the Godiva dessert bar. “She announced Katie Lee Joel as the winner, but that was it,” the source snarked. More renowned chefs like David Burke and Tom Colicchio had no problem mingling with the crowd.

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.”

The National Enquirer had reported that Ray, 40, was scared she had throat cancer, which required surgery that would prevent her from speaking for about two months and would disrput her work schedule.

Although, she will have to rest her voice for a week or so after the procedure, the ailment hasn’t slowed down the busy TV star.

“She’s totally fine. It’s just something she needs to take care of. She hasn’t been feeling ill,” says a source.

In 2006, Ray said that she’s had issues with her voice for ages. “I lose my voice a lot,” she said at the time. “I had a lot of croup as a kid so I don’t have the strongest vocal cords to begin with. I went to a voice doctor [who] taught me exercises for my throat and to cut back a little on the caffeine.”

Ray is currently in Italy celebrating her third wedding anniversary with husband John Cusimano, family and friends.
