Rachel Ray 

Rachel Ray celebrated her 40th birthday in a rather unusual way.

She went skydiving. Did we mention, it was her fourth time?!

“I find it strangely calming,” she says. “I feel at peace afterward.”

Rach also went to the doctor for a check-up. Everything is fine, except for that raspy voice of hers.

She said she has “perfect blood pressure,” but she has bruised her vocal chords.

“I never shut up long enough for that to heal,” said Ray, who added that she does “about 280 episodes” a year. “They’re going to try to teach me how to speak properly. I don’t know if an old dog can learn new tricks, but I’m going to try.”

She has been taking antacids, downing herbal tea and using an Echinacea spray. “I must learn how to change the way I speak,” she said.

Maybe Rach was screaming too much all those times she went skydiving!
