NuvaRing Gossip & Rumors
"Impossible" Chef Caught in Very Possible Lies

The hard-ass British chef who stars in Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible" is finding that spinning tall tales about one's background is no cakewalk -- and now the network says it's investigating his alleged misrepresentations. Oh, deah.

Robert Irvine has claimed all over the place that he'd helped design Prince Charles and Princess Di's wedding cake, among other things. But after an oddly thorough investigation by the St. Petersburg Times, Irvine admits he didn't really bake it -- or have anything to do with it ... and that's just the icing.

"It's unfortunate if Robert embellished the extent of his culinary experiences," said a Food Network rep. "We are investigating the matter and taking the necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of all representations of Robert on Food Network and foodnetwork.com."

Irvine had no further comment today.

14. Oh well, I guess his goose is cooked! To #7, it's a shame that most people are liars. I have been trying to teach my students all year that telling lies is one of the worst things a person can do and that it only makes things worse in the long run. Hopefully this jerk chef will admit that he lied instead of digging a deeper hole for himself.

15. Went to London, the breakfast was bad, and they call the sausage bangers. OK. Lunch Fish & chips. OK Dinner, overcooked meat, no seasoning, overcooked veggies. Lima beans-not ok. Went to an Indian restaurant the next day. Success ! The native food is horrible, in my humble opinion.
