Giada the Crusher

In this season of The Next Food Network Star Giada De Laurentiis showed both contestants and viewers that she can have a mean side when she needs it.

Yes, Giada will crush you.



How's that for a little Monday morning distraction?

Esquire Magazine has a "Women We Love" feature on Giada (thanks to Janine for sending it my way!) in which she gives her recipe for homemade sauce. Yumm!

Jeez... after seeing this I can't even remember who won last night:-)

I guess we'll be seeing a photoshoot of Amy covered in bechamel sauce sometime in the near future?

Um, it's so good the FN stars always strive to have a certain amount of dignity. I'm certain no prude but sorry, this is not sexy, this iis just gross. It reminds me of the Carrie movie.
Rachel Ray still gets flack for that photo shoot she did but at least one can argue that that is somewhat sexy.

Are these real photos? They're disgusting! I was mortified by RR in her stupid titillating photo shoot from some years ago - but this is downright horrifying.

haha. I totally agree with hilary's comment and the anonymous comment. There is nothing more to say, except... YIKES!

I happen to love these photos! It really captures the erotic undertones of her show. (Seriously!)

At least she isn't suggestively licking the back of a wooden spoon as Rachael did way back when in Maxim.

I absolutely love these pictures. Good for her!

I hope we see Paula Deen rolling around in butter soon!

Gosh, if you didn't know who she was you'd think she was rolling around in blood. I know it's supposed to be ironic, but really, it's just gross. I'm questioning the erotic/blood link here, folks! Sounds seriously misogynistic to me. Just my opinion.

I think the first two are alright; the last is really horrifying.

Honestly, when this website first came up and I saw those pictures, I thought they were edited into making it look like Giada had just ripped out two bloody hearts into her fists and the other pictures were of her bathing in blood. Then I was looking closer to see if I could figure out what must have been in her hands in the real photos before they were edited. That's when I realized it was just tomatoes and sauce. I'm not sure which is creepier...

LOL @ David!!!

I'd pay to see Paula Deen rolling around in butter...hahahahaha! :-)

I love it. I'm very impressed with her sense of humor, himsicality and tankfull of tongue-in-cheek. She gets much respect from me.

Ugh, I just keep losing more and more respect for her as a chef. Got just get the Crest Whitestripes endorsement and get it over with (you know someday she will). I just keeping getting this vibe that if Food Network was a high school Giada would be like Rachael McAdams in Mean Girls.
When do get Duff in Cosmo??

Why did they have to ruin those dresses like that? It's probably not easy to get those stains out.

Sorry--the photos aren't sexy.

And she looks like a crazed Muppet with that big mouth in the first photo. :)

I'm sure Giada expected a mixed bag of comments just like these. oh well.

Like Rachael's FHM shoot years ago, I think the mood of these photos is mostly playful and not intended to be taken as something serious or what some may consider traditionally "sexy."

Still, there is somewhat of a double standard that only Rachael and Giada have, so far, done photo shoots like these. When do Emeril and Paula get a turn?!?

Noooooooo, Jacob! No Paula or Emeril!!!!

How whorish, IMO. It's gross, alright. She's seriously trying to take over the Rachael Ray label now that RR is busy with her talkshow...isn't she??

Ditto to everyone elses comments especially the bloody hearts one! lol! The photographer of this photoshoot really did a dis-service
to Gialda. These pictures are so awful, she should have drown him in that bloody faux tomato sauce.

This is sooo ooky. And her nails are red, too. She looks like the devil. Really, she does.

Giada is a beautiful woman. Her recipes are wonderful. Why is it that some 50 something presidential candidate's opinion draws so much attention? Is it envy or simple frustration ... Giada, thank you for sharing your loveliness ... the red juice is a good contrast and simply reflects your passions ... keep up the good fight, lady ...
