Oh, boy. I bet this REALLY caused Rachael Ray to gesticulate wildly…
On the set of Rachael’s new commercial for Dunkin’ Donuts, she was given a cup of java (because, you know, she needs to be more wired) – but she wasn’t pleased they expected her to drink the coffee of her, um, well, employer.
A source tells New York Magazine:
So a friend of mine was on set last week as Rachael Ray filmed her latest Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. According to her, Rachael stormed onto the set and snapped at everyone. Not news, I know, everyone knows she’s actually a gigantic asshole. BUT! I am also told she took one sip of her Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, yelled “What is this shit? Get me MY coffee,” and would not continue until she was given “her” coffee — i.e., Starbucks.
Now, I would love nothing more than to rag on Rachael for being a big ol’ Dunkin’ Diva, BUT… I just returned from Rachael’s love, Starbucks, who once AGAIN used soy milk instead of the nonfat that I get in my venti iced NONFAT latte EVERY day. And I did not discover this until I got into my car, so it was too late to rip Tom the Barista a new one once AGAIN. (Candy ripping Tom a new one usually goes something like this: “Um, excuse me? I’m sorry, hi… I think there was a miscommunication, I’m so sorry… did I mention I was sorry? I wanted skim, not soy… I’m so sorry…”)
I think my excessive use of caps demonstrates just how displeased I am. And how I am but a mere television show, magazine, book deal, product line and CandyKirbySux Web site away from becoming a Java Jerk, myself.
Of course, if I was getting paid a gajillion dollars for an endorsement, I’d suck down that nasty Coffee Coolatta like it was George Clooney in a cup.
Rachel Ray is one annoying piece of crap. SHE IS SO LOUD SHE GIVES ME A HEADACHE WHENEVER SHE’S ON TV.. so I immediately have to turn her off. And she ain’t exactly easy on the eyes either!! Every picture I’ve ever seen of her she does look like a huge asshole. And, Starbucks coffee is addictive!!!!- they must put something in it. I get the shakes if I miss my morning vanilla latte.

January 17th, 2008 at 12:32 pmHow devastated are we going to be when we find out bitch doesn’t eat fucking Ritz crackers either?
Can she please, please go away now?
Yeah you can usually tell when someone’s over compensating for being a total biznach in reality with some overly perky cheerfulness. Usually I just want to stab her in the eye with something sharp.
Speaking as a former Barista Candy…buck up and know that Tom’s mistake cost Starbucks at least 40 cents. At least that’s the extra charge we used to have level on soy milk drinkers for their non-dairy fix. It’s a small consolation for getting a undrinkable cup of six dollar swill but given how evil I find the Bux’s now that I’m a former employee its still a consolation. Just point out next time when you’re giving your drink order and ask like 5 times when you get your drink…it annoys the hell out of Barsita’s but you’ll get what you want.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:03 pmDon’t dare insult Dunkin’ over here in MA. We know our coffee, and we’ll rip you a new one. It’s why Krispy Kreme bombed in New England.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:06 pmI hate Rachael Ray & I hate Starbucks coffee.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:42 pmHow hypocritical of her to endorse Dunkin’ Donuts and refer to their coffee as “shit”. But like Vern said, she probably doesn’t eat Ritz crackers either. I love how celebs preach that we (the little people) should drink coffee they themselves would never touch, or that we should all drive hybrids, when they travel in private jets.
she should have played the joker, not heath ledger.
January 17th, 2008 at 2:02 pmI don’t understand. Starbucks coffee, pure black coffee, is awful. Dunkin’ Donuts has really great coffee. I drink Starbucks because there are more around, but I prefer Donuts’ cream and sugar over a mocha latte. Plus, it’s way cheaper.

January 17th, 2008 at 4:08 pmShocker. Not. I could just tell she was full of it when I saw her holding that chocolate donut in the poster at my local Dunkin Donuts: between her middle finger and her thumb. In other words, “I don’t even want to touch this fucking thing. Take the goddamn picture already!”
January 17th, 2008 at 6:46 pmI’m with Carina. I don’t understand either. Dunkin Donuts coffee is DELICIOUS.
On my 30th birthday, my (much younger) sister said to me “You kind of look like Rachael Ray.” And then she was all “but prettier, of course.”
Worst birthday present ever.
January 18th, 2008 at 8:06 amA soy-for-skim switch like that could be fatal for me, as I’m allergic to soy.
January 18th, 2008 at 9:28 amOh Kit-
January 18th, 2008 at 9:29 amRachael is ANNOYING but she’s cute! If your sister said you Act like RR, or remind her of RR That would be a diss!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks Vern. Maybe I can’t see past her voice and acronyms…
And thanks for the b-day wishes. Unfortunately, that birthday was 2 years ago. I’m old.
