Rachael Ray to host Thanksgiving dinner in area
UPDATE: a redesign show’s crew is giving soup kitchen major overhaul as part of Ray’s visit.
Talk show host Rachael Ray will bring her show and a heap of Thanksgiving fixing to Wilmington Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 7 and 8.
Ray is inviting Wilmington residents who have faced economic hardship to a free Thanksgiving dinner Sunday at the Roberts Convention Centre.
Cincinnati native and former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey will attend the dinner, according to Ray’s representatives.
“The Rachael Ray Show,” which will tape an episode, also plans to visit Sugartree Soup Kitchen.
Wilmington residents were rocked when DHL, that community’s major employer, announced last year that it was leaving.
The company has ceased most operations there.
“We can’t fix the economy, but we can do our part - and what we know about is food. So if you’re worried about a Thanksgiving meal, you can relax - we’ve got a plan,” a message posted the The Rachael Ray Show website says.
Visit www.RachaelRayShow.com/Ohio or call 1-800-972-2579 to register to attend the dinner.
Those who registers must be at least 18 years of age, and must show a government-issued photo ID proving they live in the 45177 zip code.
The show also seeks volunteers willing to help stage the dinner. Call (800) -972-2579 to help.
This isn’t the first time the plight of Wilmington workers has gained the attention of a national celebrity.
Comedian Jay Leno in May preformed two free shows there as part of Jay’s Comedy Stimulus Plan.

Ray’s show has ties to the Miami Valley. Wayne High School grad Kim White is a makeup artist on the show.

Taylor Swift photographed hugging guy in a swastika T-shirt
Whoa… It seems Taylor Swift needs to be a bit more careful about who she hugs.
While attending Katy Perry’s b-day bash last weekend, the pretty, pretty country music princess was photographed hugging a dude with a big red, swastika on his T-shirt, TMZ reports.
Swift’s rep tells TMZ that she took photos with a lot of people that night and didn’t notice the T-shirt.
See take a look at the photo here.
Swift has a sweet, cute and wholesome image, but there is nothing sweet, cute or wholesome about swastikas
They are used by anti-Semites and Nazis.
Do you think this was just a honest mistake?

Is Levi a liar? Do you believe Johnston’s latest slams against Sarah Palin?
Levi Johnston is like a moose with an assault riffle.
And Sarah Palin is fighting back with a chainsaw in the form of words.
In a statement to CBS’ “Early Show, ” the former Alaskan governor called Johnston claims “attention-getting lies.”
Making nice with his baby mama’s family is apparently not part of Johnston’s plan to build a career in entertainment.
He’s blasted Sarah Palin and her family in interviews that aired today and Wednesday, Oct. 28 and 29.
Johnston has a child with Palin’s daughter, Bristol.
The most shocking allegations are that Palin wanted to take Bristol’s baby as her own and that Palin thought it was hilarious to referred to her own child as her “retarded baby.”
Trig, Palin’s youngest, was born with Down Syndrome.
In the statement read today, Palin called Johnson’s allegations appalling, sickening and sad.
Johnston, who is preparing to model for “Playgirl” (he’s pumping iron), told CBS’ Maggie Rodriguez that he is airing dirty laundry partly because the Palins used him to make Sarah Palin look good while she was running for vice president.
Johnston said he has dirt on Palin’s term as governor that could really burn her.
“If I really wanted to hurt her I could do it really easily,” he told Rodrguez.
Wow, there’s are no ego here at all. Geez.
Do you believe Johnston’s latest allegations or do you think it is all garbage?
