Why is Nigella on this list. All she does is force the food in her mother at night in the fridge while sleep walking.........NOT SEXY at all. Rachel Ray???????????????seriously!!!!!!!!

Why do you think her show has gained so much popularity, and she is such a draw at shows, and book signings. Just my opinion.
