Bethenny Being Sued For Skinnygirl Profits

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 12 May 2011 09:00:00 EDT

Bethenny Frankel is being sued by her ex-manager, Doug Wald, who claims that he helped her make the deal to create the Skinnygirl cocktail brand — but was cut out of the profit share. According to this report, "Wald says Frankel specifically sought out his advice because she thought the Skinnygirl cocktail was underexploited and he could help her make some money from it." The Skinnygirl cocktail brand is a huge success, because women love booze but hate calories, and when the line was acquired in March, it was a $120 million deal. Wald wants his ten percent — $12 million - and $100 million in damages. Ouch. [Hollywood Reporter] More »

Do Our Voices Always Reveal Our Gender?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:00:00 EDT

If "sex" is anatomical, and "gender" is a construct, then it can be assumed that our vocal range would establish sex, while the way that we speak establishes gender. Or does it? More »

Ellen To Mariah: Admit It, You're Knocked Up

Dodai Stewart — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:00:00 EST

Did Ellen DeGeneres try to trick Mariah Carey into admitting she's pregnant? Mariah was a guest on Ellen's show, and after Ellen asked and got a vague response, she busted out the champagne, saying, "You don't have to answer that. Let's just toast with champagne." Mariah got flustered and said, "I can't believe you did this to me, Ellen," and pretended to sip the bubbly. Knocked up? [Yahoo News via E!]
Someone's not pregnant: Sarah Jessica Parker in the Sex And The City sequel. Carrie won't be having a kid. "It doesn't seem as if that's going to be a choice she'll make… Michael (Patrick King, director) and I never talk about it. That doesn't mean that won't be part of the story. We just haven't figured it out. It feels a little bit manipulative to toss that into the mix, because she seems so pointed in a different direction." [Daily Express]

Daytime Gab Fests Undergo Political Awakening During Election Cycle

Jessica G. — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:30:00 EDT

Salon's Rebecca Traister has a feature today noting something Tracie picked up on a few months ago: the heated presidential campaign has made daytime, female-oriented talk shows an increasingly legitimate political forum. Though no one would confuse Sherri Shepherd with Brian Williams, Shepherd and her fellow View-mates, along with Ellen DeGeneres and Rachael Ray, have become part of the political conversation. While Ray's interactions with John and Cindy and Barack and Michelle have been golden retriever-levels of fluffy, Traister notes that the usually placid DeGeneres has shown some edge during this election cycle, like when she grilled McCain about gay marriage. But as we're already well aware, our beloved ladies over at Barbara Walters' koffee klatch are the stand-outs of daytime TV when it comes to political commentary. More »

Gerard Butler Punches Pap, Earns Anna Wintour's Love

So you know how Gerard Butler kicked a paparazzi's ass yesterday? He was definitely provoked.

Rachael Ray Challenges Viewers To Go On A "Gossip Diet;" Viewers Are Hilarious Bitches

Jessica G. — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:30:00 EDT

Rachael Ray has declared a mini war on gossip. During today's show, she choked up when talking about how baseless tabloid gossip really hurts her feelings. Ray decided to challenge four of her chattiest viewers, Talia, Stephanie, Beth and Sarah, to a gossip diet in which they agreed not to talk smack for an entire week. If they cheated on their "diet," the women would have to start the week over again. The clip above is of their non-gossiping video diaries, and as you'll see, none of the women is particularly thrilled with her rumor free existence. "The general consensus is that I am no longer fun to be around," one of them laments. While we are not fans of unwarranted maliciousness, I must say that I live by Clairee's famous maxim from Steel Magnolias: If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me. More »

Rosie O'Donnell Offers Unflinching Glimpse Into Martha Stewart's Jailhouse Soul

Jennifer — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:30:00 EDT

They've been counting down to Rosie O'Donnell's appearance on Rachael Ray forever now. But after watching today's much-hyped episode, I can't help but think that what they should have been counting down to was Rosie O'Donnell's phenomenal vocal-impression of Martha Stewart and her tale of visiting the her in a West Virginia women's prison back in 2004, when Martha confessed that what she missed most about life on the outside was "lemons".

Loose Lips

Rachael Ray says she's flattered that Cindy McCain "stole" her recipe for rosemary chicken. "These recipes are supposed to be accessible to everyone - interns, senators, students and families alike! I am flattered when anyone cooks my food," Ray tells Us. • Nicole Kidman is having pretty severe morning sickness. Stars: so barfy! Just like us! • Alicia Keys is qualifying some of the inflammatory things she said to Blender about gangster rap. She had originally said, "Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist." She just released the following statement: "My comments about `gangsta rap' were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive." [Us, People, Dlisted] More »

Some Stars Looked Good Enough To Eat At The Food Bank NY Event

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Gwyneth Paltrow (pictured) was honored at the fifth annual Can-Do Awards dinner given by Food Bank For New York City. She told a reporter, "I grew up in this city, and I worked in soup kitchens throughout high school, so being back here is like a full circle. I'm just thrilled to be here and to help in any way I can." Yeah, yeah, but what about the outfits? Gwynnie looked divine in a graphic patterned wrap dress, and Helena Christensen — who was also honored — looked gorgeous in a sugary pink dress. But not every star was good enough to eat. Stanley Tucci, Lorraine Bracco, Christy Turlington, Petra Nemcova, Rachael Ray and more in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, after the jump. More »

Rachael Ray On Dunkin Donuts Coffee: "What Is This Shit??"

Moe — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 13:00:05 EST

"What Is This Shit??"" alt="Click here to read Rachael Ray On Dunkin Donuts Coffee: "What Is This Shit??"" src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2011/11/010451c56823b15cd59145841389c5e4.jpg"/>

This just in from the set of Rachael Ray's latest Dunkin Donuts commercial, according to a New York Magazine tipster: "She 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." Fascinating. On one hand, I always love it when celebrities shill products they hate. A few years back when Reebok was inking endorsement contracts with pretty much every vaguely hip-hop centric artist on the Hot 100, Jay-Z and Fabulous were always fucking with them, showing up to gigs in Nikes. (Jay-Z pulled the same shit on HP last week — he's a Mac user; aren't we fucking all?) But yeah, on the other hand, slavish devotion to brands, especially brands like Starbucks and Nike but really, any of those stupid little "culty" laptop bag brands or organic shampoo brands you hear people raving about at marketing conferences and in airports in Portland. But then, on the other other hand, coffee is seriously important, maybe more important than politics or philosophy, and with all the discussion of drinking habits on this site I can't believe I'd never posed the question: how do you take your coffee? It's a poll! More »

Rachael Ray Foolishly Attempts Smackdown With Martha Stewart

Jennifer — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:30:00 EST

Do not fuck with Martha Stewart. Post-prison Martha will cut you. Or at least make your soufflé fall on purpose. If we were Rachael Ray, we'd start hiding out now. Ray, the annoyingly chirpy maker of 30-minute meals and head of her own Martha-esque media empire (Magazine? Check. Talk show? Check. Cook books? Check), has poached the publisher of Stewart's Everyday Food to assume that same title at her namesake mag, Everyday with Rachael Ray. They are both fools: Do. Not. Cross. Martha. We now have images of Martha going all witches from Macbeth, standing over a cauldron, casting spells on the both of them. Also, what was former Martha-er, soon to be Ray-er Anne Balaban thinking? Isn't going from working for Martha to working for Ray like going from working for Valentino corporate to stocking sweaters at Old Navy? More »
