@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: I have never liked Rachel Ray's persona on her show 30 Minute Meals. (See my comments on Jezebel's first post that mentioned this Martha / RR exchange as an example.) But I am really impressed with the way she handled that, too. I wish I'd watched that before my earlier comments.
@RenoDakota: We don't get Rachel Ray in NZ (at least, I don't think we do), but I always admire someone who can avoid rising to the bait, as she managed exceptionally well to, here
Listen Insider, I'm more surprised when Spencer Pratt: 1. Spells things correctly, and 2. Says decent, sensible things. Let me know when those things happen, OK?
I actually saw #6 when it was on the other night, and I think "But I'm still gonna keep you number one on my MySpace" has to be one of the all-time most hilarious lines to include in a break-up.
@Understater: Makes perfect sense - Martha is a perfectionist who knows that popularity doesn't always equal merit - and Rachel Ray is showing that even though she's good at what she does, she's not the master. What it boils down to is: Palin lacks Martha's eye for detail and fastidious nature, and Ray's honesty and humility.
The more mistakes Mariah makes, the more I love her. That's one of the upsides of not having regular contact with her. Oh, if those Lisa Frank binders could talk... #tyrafaketoenails
In other TV news, has anyone else been plagued by those Idaho Potatoes commercials? I seldom watch daytime TV but I was sick so today was an exception. Anyway, there are these crazy commercials stressing the health benefits of Idaho potatoes ("not just any potatoes!") with this really raspy-voiced lady who pronounces Idaho like "eye-ho" and it drove me nuts (it could also be my cold). She also claims that "exercise and a diet with potatoes" help you to stay trim, which is true in some contexts but it nonetheless made me laugh because I can totally see somebody going to a grocery store, looking at potatoes, and remembering, "oh yeah, potatoes help you lose weight!" #tyrafaketoenails

Oh, and Ms. Nightline lady. Just stop. Move on. No controversy to see here, folks.
