Do you prefer getting your recipes from famous people or celebrity chefs?

Just awhile ago, I saw an ad for a recipe cookbook by Jane Fonda on Ebay and was really tempted to buy it. I'm not sure why I would think she has really good recipes. But thinking about it now, she was one of the first true fitness pioneers for women. Before Jane, women didn't have too many fitness or exercise role models. So, of course she would know a lot about good and healthy eating. But, she's not the only celebrity that I am likely to take cooking advice from. I'd love to have some of Oprah's favorite recipes. Or, maybe someone from one of my favorite soaps. Not that they would know any more about cooking than I do, but they might have some favorite dishes that I could recreate at home. I like Bobby Flay and Emeril recipes, even though they are way too complicated and expensive for my lowly little Mom budget. But, it is fun to watch and I do pick up some good cooking tips and inspiration. Sometimes I even take cooking advice from Martha Stewart. But, my favorite celebrity chef of all would have to be Rachel Ray. She makes dishes that I could actually afford and the kinds of dishes real people eat, not just the fancy gourmet. So, how about you? When you are searching around for recipes and new dishes, are you more likely to take advice from a famous person or celebrity, even if they aren't a cook? Are you likely to seek recipes from a famous chef like Rachel Ray or Martha Stewart?
