Celebrity chef and talk show host Rachael Ray did a photo shoot for FHM Magazine in 2003. In the racy photos Ray wore next to nothing and caused quite a “stir.”
Now the photos have once again popped up in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women 2009 Edition.
Unfortunately, she’s not in the Top 10, but given the buzz created by her publicist, she should be. She’s ranked 100.
The Top 100 ranked list features in no particular order Hilary Duff, Megan Fox (number one), Kate Hudson, Evangeline Lilly, Elisha Cuthbert, Adriana Lima, Vanessa Hudgens, Diora Baird, Lindsay Lohan, Madeline Zima, Ashley Tisdale, Iron Man 2′s Scarlett Johansson, Heidi Montag, Frieda Pinto, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Anne Hathaway, Liv Tyler, and Anna Faris.
Ray was 35 when she posed for the pictures. âI thought about it for a while, and I said, âYou know what? This magazine has as young as 17-, 18-year-olds in hottie bikinis, and these are all actresses
“Models, pin-up girls. I donât belong to any even remote club of theirs,â Ray tells Nightlineâs Cynthia MCFadden.
âAnd I thought, âIf Iâm gutsy enough to do this, this is a good thing for everybody. This is the everywoman, here she is,â she added. âAnd I did it, and it was the most scared Iâve ever been, and I wouldnât change a thing. Iâd do it again tomorrow.â

Rachael Ray's Sexy Photos Make A Comeback

That is not Rachel Ray, she has never been that thin. Sorry Rachel- not that your fat. Just fluffy
you are right. that is rachael’s mug but NOT her body.her success is impressive although somewhat hard to justify.i of course dont know her personally. from what i see on her programs i dont think i want to. a little too screechy for me.
What a joke … it’s so obvious that this photo was engineered.
These photos were taken 6 years ago, in 2003. She’s been up and down in her weight. I would think she would know if she’s been “doctored” once she saw the photos. That would be a bigger story than just the fact that she posed.
Rachael Ray is cute. Sexy is not a word I would use to describe Rachael. She’s also big-boned, not fat at all, but she looks heavier than she probably is.
BTW all photos all doctored not just hers. To think that people are as perfect as their photos is naive.
Rachael is a very hot lady at any weight. Given her stardom and beautiful eyes, I say let her do what ever makes her happy and gives us a better look at this rare beauty.
Yes I agree with you 100%, She looks great in anything and every thing she wear’s. She is the good looking very hot lady. I would let her wear anything want’s to’ Just so she happy, of rare beauty. WOW.
That’s not her and that is such a bad reproduction people….shame on you…Rachel looks like a normal person not a stick figure with a lollypop head…
If this was “engineered”, I would like to see the BODY. Nonetheless, I still love Rachel’s cleavage
I’m old..and the ‘real’ Rachel defintely looks good…but this photo is a really bad crop and cut job…awful
She did not deny the phots so why should you people question it….These photos were taken when she was 35, not yesterday for christs sake….Hell girls show more skin than this in a grammar school hallway.
