The ultimate Uptown Girl - Christie Brinkley!

by Lessa

11_01_topper.jpg

Who can believe that Christie Brinkley, international star and top model is 53? I’d be happy to look that way in a bikini NOW, let alone when I’m in my fifties! She’s looking fabulous, and every bit the girl next door even after all these years.

They joked about family and shared stories, and discovered that Christie’s 12 year old son got in trouble passing notes in school - notes that said “What’s your favorite cooking show? Mine’s Rachael Ray!” How could Jack be any cuter?!

You can’t have a covergirl on the show without discovering their beauty secrets, of course, and Christie had a wealth of those to share - from de-puffing your eyes, to bronzing up and sun-in for your roots, she shares all her secrets and her favorite products too.

What’s up next for Christie? She’ll be unveiling the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree top ornament with the Starlight Starbright Children’s foundation this month.

Also, on this episode, we got a sneak peek at Rachael’s new cookbook, Just in Time, which is available next Tuesday. Hot off the presses, Rachael is especially pleased with the concept of 15 minute meals, 30 minute meals and even 60 minute slow down and enjoy meals. Christie Brinkley’s son Jack? Gets one of the very first copies, of course!

Naturally, right at the top of the show, Rachael showed one of the new recipes from the book, cutting it down from 15 minutes to just 7.5, just to show that it could be done before commercial! Sliced Steak Stroganoff in French Bread with Dill-Relish Dressed Salad had our mouths watering as we watched, and my kids put that on the MUST TRY SOON list of recipes we keep on the fridge. Later in the show, Christie joined Rachael to cook up some Buffalo Baked Chicken with Blue Cheese, Celery and Carrot Slaw.

Yum-o!

    why does rachael ray keep talking over christie brinkley? over and over again, rachael would comment while christie was explaining something. it was so annoying. i have never watched the rachael ray show before. are all the interviews like this?

  3. Lessa Says:

    She does have that habit - sometimes it’s worse then others, like when she’s really star struck. She doesn’t use cue cards, but the little info cards, and does most everything off the cuff. It’s’ a little disconcerting at times, yes. Not all interviews are as bad as that one, though.

  4. Shannon Says:

    Found photos of Rachel Ray at the Daytime Emmys and, funny, Christie Brinkley on same site talking about divorce from rotten, cheating ex Peter Cook. Rachel looks great at Emmy’s but her husband is hanging on in a strange way?
