Watching Rachael Ray

What a great show on Friday! So much to talk about! Rachael jumped right in to ‘The Dish!’ segment with Lara Spenser. First - The Sex and the City movie is filming all over the city, and she’s thrilled with the addition of Jennifer Hudson to the cast. Paparazzi is on full alert!

On the list of products is Luxe Link - a little gadget so that you can hang your purse from the edge of the table to keep it next to you.

Love Converse? Of course you do! Got to MakeMineRed.com and you can personalize your Converse! At MakeMineRed, they add a little red grommet, and a portion of the proceeds goes to the AIDS campaign. $60 bucks for your own little touch. It’s a great Christmas deal!

Hit up FreeHeadset.org - get a free headset for your phone (you just pay shipping), so that you can have hands free to drive. We’re all for multitasking - but be smart about it, hm?

Also, the Portrait of Hope organization is participating in the Garden in Transit, where kids help paint flower wraps for NYC Cabs this fall as part of a creative therapy project.

Patricia Wettig joined Rachael at the Kitchen table, to dish about Brothers and Sisters and food fights with Sally Field. Don’t forget to enter here for a chance to win a DVD se of Brothers and Sisters the first season! Patricia also recently reunited with her thirtysomething co-stars for a project sponsored by Tylenol where they asked young boomers what it’s like to be 50 - which apparently is the new 40. Go to Justkeepmoving.com for more information for that and remember, don’t let age stop you!

Patricia stuck around to give a viewer some tips at being trendy, and still dressing age appropriately. Her advice? Go simple, then pop it with awesome shoes, boots, belts and bags. There’s no age limit on accessories!

Four sisters, pregnant at the same time! Oy! My sister and I have kids that are about 6 months apart, but wow, these girls are all within a few weeks! There is a fifth sister too, who assured them that no, she’s not pregnant. For sure. (laugh) She took a test JUST IN CASE. There’s certainly something in the water in their hometown - I’m going to be sure to steer clear! (grin)

A quick check in with President Bill Clinton, talking about his new book, Giving, which teaches how each of us can change the world. It doesn’t matter what it is, pick the path that is most important to you. There’s no right answer, just do something.

What’s for dinner? Chicken Noodle Soup three ways - Traditional, Italian Style and Spanish style.
