Rachael Ray Fights Back

Perkie daytime host Rachael Ray is fighting back about rumors of her marriage being on the rocks because it has begun to affect her family a spokesman confirms to PEOPLE.

“Everybody gossips … but this stuff is hurting people’s feelings who are in our families and friends of ours,” Ray told the audience on the show, set to air Friday. “They worry about us.”

Ok, I have a question. I understand that these rumors (which have been around for a while) could be taking a big toll on her family , but what happened to the old Hollywood adage that if you don't talk about it, it will go away?

And another thing. A little rant here. Am I the only person in the planet who finds the culinary fembot to be annoying? Especially at 8am in the morning (or at least that when she's on in my market)? Do you have any idea how grating it is to wake up in the morning, turn on the TV (because inadvertently I've left the TV on ABC after watching Grey's Anatomy the night before) to find her practically yelling at me, the TV viewer? Obviously millions of TV viewers love her, and there is no denying she cooks some great food but starting off the day with a migrane isn't how I prefer begin my day.

Please! Someone! Anyone! Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this!
