In Martha Stewart's world, Rachael Ray is a good thing.
On her Martha Stewart Show Monday, the lifestyle mogul, 68, cleared the air about "some comments that are circulating on the Internet regarding me and Rachael Ray."
Meow! Look back on these memorable celebrity catfights
In a recent interview on ABC's Nightline, Stewart said that Ray is "more of an entertainer" than a teacher, and suggested that Ray's skills at baking and writing cookbooks are inferior to hers. ""She -- just did a new cookbook which is just a re-edit of a lot of her old recipes," she said in the interview. "That's not good enough for me."
But during Monday's cooking segment with Emeril Lagasse, Stewart says apologetically, "just for the record there are no bad feelings between us nor have there ever been."
She adds: "I truly believe that Rachael has done a terrific job bringing people, many people who would of never of even stepped into the kitchen or made a dish to cook. I applaud Rachel for her enthusiastic approach to cooking."
Ever the diplomatic hostess -- and guest -- Stewart notes how much she enjoyed appearing on Ray's show, and vice versa. "It was a lot of fun to have her on this show making pie with me." (On Nightline, Stewart pointed out that Ray confessed that she "couldn't bake.")

After imploring Ray to "come on back" to her show anytime, Stewart giggles and signs off with one of Ray's trademark phrases: "I hope you have a Yum-o Thanksgiving."

Last week, Ray said she didn't mind Stewart's slights. "I really just think she's being honest. She does have a better skill set than I do when it comes to producing a beautiful, perfect, high-quality meal . . . I'd rather eat Martha's than mine, too."

SunnyMartha is just trying to do a little damage control now. She was rude & out of line to talk bad about Rachel. Her opinion of her is unimportant. She should be thanking her lucky stars she even has any work after being disgraced & doing jailtime. Rachel took the high road when responding to what Martha said. Martha is desperate for attention & Rachel does not need to come oreport abuseposted November 24, 2009 2:19 AM PST

pattijenWhether Martha intended to or not, her catty remarks about Rachael Ray made her appear petty and apparently threatened by Rachael's youth and popularity in the cooking genre. Martha can try to backtrack all she wants, but it won't do much good. Rachael is well loved by many and has an enthusiasm for cooking that we enjoy. I'd rather watch Rachael than Martha any day of treport abuseposted November 23, 2009 9:02 PM PST
