Rachael Ray’s Racy Photos are in the news again. The popular cook and host of a cooking TV show had posed for some sexy pictures for FHN magazine back in 2003. Back then, the pictures caused some controversy and some of her fans were a bit surprised to see the cook star scantily clad like a sexy model. Even her mother was said to have been upset about the photos.

The pictures have now made a comeback as a news item as they appeared in FHM’s recent 2009 issue, listing the top 100 sexiest women. Rachael Ray was listed as number 100. Rachael Ray, who is already a successful and popular TV show host, would definitely benefit from the publicity the listing is giving her as the photos are now in demand. There are some speculations that her publicist may have leaked the pictures as a publicity stunt.

Rachael who is now 41, said at an interview in March 2009 that she although she was scared she would not hesitate to do it all again, not minding the controversy the photo shoot caused back then.

She also said at the interview, “I think I was 35 at the time,” “I thought, ‘If I’m gutsy enough to do this, this is a good thing for everybody. “

As it turns out Rachael Ray is not new to controversy, she had once been criticized by social conservatives for putting on a scarf that was said to resemble a pro-Islamic apparel.
