Food Networks - Loves and Hates

[AnotherKD]

Completely crashing, but I saw this thread up and wondered if anyone was talking about this...

Last week, TMZ (I know, not the WaPo as far as credibility goes, but still) reported that the Barefoot Contessa was asked by the Make-A-Wish Foundation to take an afternoon to spend and cook with a dying boy who loves her show. She said no because he schedule was pretty full. She was asked again, and she still said no. So, TMZ and the Huffington Post and a bunch of other outlets started writing snippets about it, and she's now caved in and says she'll grant the wish. Amazing what negative publicity can do!

I saw the article today.
I've always found her to be snotty for some reason I couldn't put my finger on but to snub a cancer stricken child TWICE?!? Doesn't say a lot about her as a compassionate human being. Frankly, it really made me dislike her more & I refuse to watch her show. What a bitch.

I also have the cooking channel & have been watching that because it has Easy Entertaining & Jaime Oliver which are shows I always enjoyed. It also has other shows that I'm watching that I'm really enjoying. It's too bad the Food Network became like MTV & didn't stick to cooking. I'm so sick of those stupid reality type cooking shows.
