Rachael Ray serves up prom for students at Ala. high school destroyed by tornado

Rachael Ray made sure that the students who lost eight classmates and their school in a tornado got a senior prom. The celebrity chef planned the menu and helped prepare dinner at Enterprise High School's prom. The star of the Food Network's "The Rachel Ray Show" paid for the dance and filmed it for an episode to air this month. "The students of Enterprise High are so courageous, given all that they've gone through," Ray said in the statement. "When I heard about what happened to their school and classmates, we wanted to help. The prom was all about celebrating their accomplishments and honoring the classmates who tragically lost their lives." AP

Tori Spelling reconciles with mother

Tori Spelling, who recently gave birth to her first child, says she began reconciling with her mother, Candy, in the last weeks of her pregnancy. "It was mutual," the 33-year-old actress tells Us Weekly in its April 16 issue. "We both reached out at the same time by phone in the weeks before I had Liam." Their 9-month estrangement was juicy gossip in the tabloids, with mother and daughter sitting apart during a tribute to famed TV producer Aaron Spelling at the Emmy Awards last August. Candy Spelling was in the delivery room when Tori Spelling gave birth to 6-pound, 6-ounce Liam Aaron McDermott by Caesarean section at a Los Angeles hospital last month. What led to the two-sided silent treatment? "Nothing really transpired between us," Tori Spelling says. "After reading so many stories, I think we both thought, 'Does she hate me? Did I do something?' We were both scared to reach out to each other. Now that we're together, we realize that there is no feud." AP

Anything for a friend: Martha Stewart visits Kazakh launch pad to watch pal blast off

Martha Stewart, the apostle of the cozy and the quaint, came Friday to the bleak space town of Baikonur to watch a billionaire friend blast off for the international space station. Stewart, who parlayed her vision of gracious living into a business empire, is a longtime friend of Charles Simonyi, a software engineer and developer of Microsoft Word who paid $20-25 million for a 13-day trip to the international space station. He will lift off today, aboard a Soyuz space capsule with two Russian cosmonauts. Stewart chose the menu for a gourmet meal that Simonyi will be taking to the ISS as a treat for his comrades in space. They plan a celebratory feast for Thursday, which Russia observes as Cosmonauts' Day. The menu includes quail roasted in Madiran wine, duck breast confit with capers, shredded chicken parmentier, apple fondant pieces, rice pudding with candied fruit, and semolina cake with dried apricots. It was to be prepared by Alain Ducasse's consulting and training center, ADF,
