Rachael Ray review from today *UPDATED w/pix*
I just got home. I was there from 11a-3:30. She taped 3 shows in one day- they were doing another after I left.
Ok- so, you know I'm not a cooker so the cooking part was excruciating. I was daydreaming. BUT- I was there because my friend works there and she knew the Mobwives were coming on. I love me some Mobwives.
The morning show which I wasn't at was the bulk of their show but the producers asked them if they could give Renee, Drita and Big Ang a make-UNDER. Well, that took up most of the day, so the taping I was there for was another show, then just the Mobwives last segment- the "Reveal". The show I was there for the whole thing was with Vanessa Hudgens.
VH- she is SO pretty in person. SO pretty. I never really noticed her before and never seen anything she's been in.
Rachael- I've been told she's not so nice by quite a few people. You're not allowed to take any photos of/with her. At all. If they see a camera/phone come out they'll just escort you out. BUT, I will say, I've been to a lot of shows and she is the only host, aside from Meredith Vieira who comes out and talks to the audience. RR didn't get into convos with specific people but she came out before the show started and did her little shtick. It wasn't just where she came out when the cameras were rolling. She told little anecdotes, etc.
She looks like a real person. Like most of the time you're suprised as how skinny the person is in real life vs camera. No she looks normal sized. She wears leggings as pants as were some other people and that's just not a good look on anyone. But she looks like someone you'd hang out with- not a "celebrity". VH looked glam like a movie star. Drita looked glam. RR looks like your sorority sister.
KYAN from Queer Eye did the make-unders. He's so hot and SO nice. I asked him if I could have a picture with him (I'll update with it later even though i look awful), and he was like- "Let's do it!" My friend was like "not here- wait till we're in the elevator..." and he was like- Oh, come on...but we did wait and he asked my name, shook my hand. Just really sweet.
Renee, Big Ang, and Drita are all TINY. Renee and Big Ang are WAY skinnier in person than on camera and Drita could be a supermodel.
Oh, and some Iron Chef guy was there- Marc something with a restaurant in TriBeCa. He was judging a Granny cook-off for a granny and her granddaughter to win tix to the Grammy's. 3 sets of contestants. The two losers get a meal cooked by Mark in his restaurant. Not a bad loss.
Coolest part was the rotating studio. Instead of changing sets, the whole floor is circular and rotates around the different sets. i got a tour of the control room, I picked up someone's headphones and put them on, got a pic of those, and I had my friend take a pic of me in the kitchen you see on the show.

SHUT UP RIGHT NOW.
I would dress up like a boy and do things to him.

Hes really cute. I'll post a pic as soon as E goes to bed at 8p
I grabbed someone's headphone thingy in the control room-
Vanessa Hudgens is the one who was dating Zac Efron forever and they were both in that High School Musical series
I saw the pic of you in the OOTD thread and I think YOU belong there missy. You look terrific!

Oh please. I'm with you! It's the attitude too. If he was a diick I wouldn't think he was as cute. But, I could totally see being able to hang with him. No diva there.
Why is your life so awesome? Gah.
I went on TWO playdates today. And I was borned, soooo....
Hezz- it's just my close proximity to NYC, my college friends all working in tv, my moxie to ask for photos and always having a camera ready. I've never had one of those "Damn, I wish I had a camera!" moments.
I'm pretty sure it's also that you're so darn cute. If I were connected to the famous and semi-famous, I'd want to hook you up too, just to watch you light up like a kid at Christmas.
"The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab
Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I do get overly excited and star struck. My friend who works there almost had a heart attack because of the strict no pic thing. I was mouthing to her- "I'm going to ask for a pic (w/Kyan)". She was just closing her eyes pretending she was not listening to me. I slyly turned the camera on and handed to her. She's all mouthing "not. Right. Here.". Because there was a line of other guest leaving, waiting for the elevator. We were separate from them but they could see us. She didn't want it to start an uproar of other people wanting pix. But I Had. To. Have. That. Photo.
It didn't happen if there's no proof!
