Rachael Ray's talk show might get cancelled
Frankly, we don't understand the backlash against Rachael Ray, since she manages to make up for the annoyingly loud voice by being perky and cooking stuff anybody can make, but the New York Post's Page Six says Ray's syndicated talk show is going the way of the dodo.
"They are seriously talking about taking her off the air," a source tells the paper. Apparently her contract will not be renewed when it expires.
The problem? Those pesky ratings. Without getting into too many numbers, Page Six says Rachael is only pulling a 2.0 Nielsen rating this year. And, as their anonymous source points out, "Anything below a 2.0 is asking for trouble."
But there's always hope: Nobody seems to be watching Friday Night Lights, but it just got renewed.
