NO KNIFE FOR RACHAEL
CHATTY talk show host/chef Rachael Ray won’t have to pipe-down for the holidays after all.
Ray, who was scheduled to have surgery on her vocal cords this week, has scrapped the operation.
“During the course of normal pre-op care, Rachael started an intensive new vocal therapy and it is now the opinion of her doctor that surgery may not be necessary,” Charlie Dougiello, a spokesman for Ray, told People.
Ray, 40, had planned to carry a pencil and paper around to communicate with husband John Cusimano after undergoing the surgery – which had been scheduled for today – to remove a benign cyst on her vocal cord.
But until the results show otherwise, Ray will be spared from going under the knife.
“Rachael is very grateful that it won’t be a silent Christmas,” says Dougiello.
