Is Rachael Ray the next Oprah?

Monday May 1, 2006
In the past week, Rachael Ray was not only named one of People Magazine's Most Beautiful People but also appears on Time Magazine's List of 100 People Who Shape Our World. (Oprah also appears on both lists.) Like Oprah, Rachael has her own magazine (recently launched), Everyday with Rachael Ray, chocked full of not only cooking tips but lifestyle and fashion advice. And coming this fall, Rachael Ray will host her own daytime talkshow, developed by (you guessed it) Oprah Winfrey.

Who is this woman that has taken America by storm? Cooking purists may loathe her kitchen skills (or lack thereof) but personality goes a long way and that is one thing she is not short of. If we are truly lucky, perhaps Rachael's talkshow will be a success (good news for her fans), but she will step aside from her cooking duties (good news for her critics). Regardless, Rachael Ray has definite appeal to the masses and you can expect to see her around for a very long time.
