The season finale of 30 Rock aired this evening. The best part about it? An unexpected—and inexplicably perfect—cameo by the Barefoot Contessa herself, Ina Garten, who found herself at the center of a scandal recently (but has since made up for it). Now, would anybody like some bruschetta?

Three days after the internet shamed Ina Garten for rejecting a pediatric cancer patient's Make-A-Wish request to cook a meal with her, the Barefoot Contessa has agreed to fit a 6-year-old leukemia patient into her busy schedule. After twice rejecting Enzo Pereda's request, Ina is now pleading ignorance:

Celebrity chef Ina Garten, star of Barefoot Contessa, is catching heat for turning down a 6-year-old cancer patient's dying wish to cook a meal with her. TMZ reports that Ina said "no" to the Make-A-Wish foundation twice:

Rejoice! The Barefoot Contessa recap is back! On today's brand new episode of Ina Garten's rich (in many ways), televised culinary compendium, East Hampton's HBIC sank her teeth into—and got some intense pleasure from—a cornucopia of good eats.

Boy oh boy was yesterday's all new episode of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa a doozy. There was meatloaf, deviled eggs, icebox cake and more—all with the volume turned up, obviously. Come in, watch some videos, stay a while!

Because last weekend's Alec Baldwin-starring installment of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa was such a hit around these parts—and because why the hell not—I decided to recap yesterday's all-new episode! Picture this: Ina and Jeffrey in a steak throwdown.

Barefoot Contessa star Ina Garten is a Gawker.TV favorite—remember?—and my personal hero. On yesterday's episode, Garten held a luncheon for some women who donated $100,000 to charity to eat her food. Oh, yeah—Alec Baldwin did the shopping.

One day after her Manhattan book signing (which I went to!), Ina Garten stopped by The Today Show this morning to prepare a delicious and easy meal—complete with jokes about breasts and nuts! How bad can that be?

Today at Gawker.TV, Tracy Morgan tells Jon Stewart about his hair and sex practices, Dakota Fanning talks about her teeth, a Real World cast-mate tosses his roommate off a balcony, and a tribute to Ina Garten.

Do you know Ina Garten? If not, you should, and the following videos will prove why. Garten hosts Barefoot Contessa, the wildly popular, wildly insane Food Network program, and she's not afraid to let her quirks shine. Inside, a tribute.
