Take That Oprah

Filed under: Martha Stewart

wenn5074885.jpg

Martha Stewart has just expanded her media empire and become much much richer.

M. Diddy is buying out the competition!

Stewart's company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimdedia Inc. announced Tuesday that it had purchased the rights to the Emeril Lagasse franchise of cookbooks, television shows, and kitchen products for a total of $45 million in cash and another $5 million in stock at closing.

The acquired assets generated an estimated $14 million in revenue in 2007.

Although Stewart's company acquired much, they did not acquire Emeril's Homebase, which includes 11 of his restaurants and Lagasse's corporate office.

Now if only Martha would buy out Rachael Ray and just make her go away!

    22

    Ha! I totally agree about Rachael Ray. She is a sore on the food and entertainment industry. Her shows aren't even cooking for dummies…and that voice…ugh. I read an interview with several Food Network chefs, and when asked whom they would rather be paired up with (Giada or Rachael), every single one of them said Giada. Says something, eh?

    Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's stock has been going down the tubes. The company is really hurting esp. the employees. They just gone through a round of layoffs disguised as firings. Everyone is walking on egg shells. This is an act of desperation by their board to keep the ship afloat.

  36. Mark says – reply to this


    36

    Whoever said Rachael ray is one of the best cooks is a friggin kook, she doesn't even have a culinary degree or any training of any sort, I'll take Giada over Rachaels sorry ass anyday

    so what 14 million income for 2007?!?!? That is chunk change compared to Oprah 260 million dollar income for 2007…MS is going to have her game way more than that before she can come at Oprah, they arent even in the same tax bracket…

  49. angela says – reply to this

    Now I know why she closed publication of Blueprint Magazine after only one year; to free up the cash.

    Such a shame, that was a great magazine.

  50. Amanda says – reply to this

    Ha ha ha….Rachel Ray is a stupid ass!!! I have heard that she is very rude and is a bitch to everyone!

  51. piazzasbuttplug says – reply to this


    51

    I bet that Rachel is the only one of the three that would go get a wash cloth and sponge me off after. & she is so damn cute. I'd pop before my trousers fell off. Guess I wouldn't need that sponging.

    Martha would give me a hernia.

    And Oprah probably never freshens up.

  52. Dr. Phil says – reply to this


    52

    Hey shut up! Rachael is a very cute down home kinda girl. She never puts on airs or tries to be sidiity, she's nice and approachable so leave her alone. And she's rich too.

  53. sean says – reply to this

    RACHEL RAY ROCKS!!!!!

  55. crystal says – reply to this


    55

    rachel ray is a terrible cook. her recipes are makeshift recipes, eliminating any kind of integrity of the appreciation of gastronomy. it's great though, for lazy college kids. but seriously: she doesn't know how to cook and her show is terrible. Also, i bet emeril is selling all his stuff because he's focusing on trying to restore new orleans from katrina…it's a good cause. kudos to emeril.

  56. amandar says – reply to this


    56

    haha i agree, i cant stand rachel ray and i cant stand these people who are dying to be the first one to post a comment, and only say first GET A LIFE and fucking make a comment!!!!

    81

    Perez,
    I have to say that I LOVE Racheal Ray. I know that you can’t stand her but I really enjoy her and had to take this opportunity to stand up for her.
    Rachael Ray rocks! She has awesome recipies for real people and her attitude is awesome. I love her retro set and she is just lots of fun. She has never done anything to hurt any of you so back off!
    P.S. What is the big deal about being first? Is that the only comment you have? I don't get it.

    Martha Stewart is a major phoney, she's been using other people's ideas and claiming them as her own for years. She, just like Trump are branding whores, they have to plaster their names on everything the get their greasy mitts on. Stupid people seem to think that if it has her name on it, it's a quality product, which is bullshit. Martha Stewart branded merchandise is crap.

    89

    I can't stand Fecal Ray! She looks like a fugly muppet, talks like a damned baby with her stupid little words like, "yummo" and "delish," etc. What female over the age of 3 uses words like that?? And she has to let to the audience know everytime she says, "EVOO" that it means Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Well why doesn't she just call it that to begin with and stop trying to come up with toddler words to try and make herself look cute? She's beyond disgusting! I've seen her show about 5 different times and each time wanted to put my foot through the tv.

    Her recipes are disgusting . She's disgusting. No wonder hubby pays whores to spit all over him. He's used to disgusting.

    man, martha is such a criminal, it's unbelievable to me why people take her seriously. all that success and she just couldn't play it straight. as far as i'm concerned, paris is an effing angel compared to martha and isn't straight up, pretentious, bossy, money grubbing evil. i bet paris actually pays her taxes and doesn't try to rip off the stock market. at least rachel is nice by reputation, too. eat a dick, martha!
