Ray Ray gets some Oprah

Rachael Ray's new talk show will begin this September and she has already had a nice surprise. Ray's "friend and mentor" Oprah Winfrey stopped by to wish her luck.

Winfrey hit the set of Ray's show, "where she hung out for the entire taping, met the audience, got a full tour of the set and shared some on-air coffee talk with Ray."

Afterwards, Winfrey caught a flight to South Africa, where she is working on her Leadership Academy for Girls.

Ray said last month, "She tells me to be myself. She doesn't chime in or call up and say, 'This is how you can be more like Oprah.' She's pretty busy with her own job."
