TV chef Rachael Ray is perkily popular. Thanks to the Food Network, the talk show, the magazine, and the endless product endorsements, her goofy grin has become a household fixture.

But some folks have latched on to the idea that her 24-7 cheerful style is hiding something. High on the list of "rachael ray" searches, we're seeing "rachael ray divorce john cusimano," "rachael ray divorced," "rachael ray getting divorced," and "rachael ray divorce rumors." Both men and women from ages 35-44 are concerned, but the men happen to be a smidge more interested.

Ray responded to the rumors about the state of her marriage with John Cusimano in July and again in November, but the speculation won't go away. Of course, we wish all the best to the chipper chick and hope nothing rains on her parade. But if things go south, it's worth noting that other popular queries on her name turn up "rachael ray hot."
