Anne Burrell, Food Network star and host of 'Worst Cooks in America,' dies at 55
Anne Burrell, a Food Network star and frequent TODAY guest known as much for her platinum blond hair and signature wit as her talent in the kitchen, has died at age 55. Burrell died Tuesday at her home at her home in Brooklyn, her team said in a statement. 'With her trademark spiky blonde hair and sparkling personality, Anne Burrell was the hugely popular and fan favorite host of Food Network's hit show, 'Worst Cooks in America,'' the statement said. 'Burrell was an industry veteran and passionate teacher who prided herself on her work in the culinary world.' A cause of death was not provided. Her family called Burrell 'a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend' in a statement, adding that her 'light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world.' 'Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal,' they said. Burrell was a staple of the Food Network for two decades. A former teacher at the Institute of Culinary Education, she started her TV career by appearing as a sous chef on 'Iron Chef America' in 2005 and later launched her own show, the Emmy-nominated 'Secrets of a Restaurant Chef,' which aired from 2008 until 2012. She appeared regularly on 'Chef Wanted,' 'Chopped,' 'Food Network Star' and others programs before she began hosting 'Worst Cooks in America' in 2010. She recently competed on Food Network's 'House of Knives,' which premiered in March 2025. 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,' says a Food Network spokesperson. 'Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' Burrell also wrote two bestselling cookbooks, 'Cook Like a Rock Star' and 'Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire and Empower.' She is survived by her husband Stuart Claxton, whom she married in 2021, and his son, Javier, along with her mother, Marlene, sister Jane and brother Ben. Throughout her culinary journey, she often said, 'I feel so lucky to be able to share my true passion in life with others.'

Tom Cruise and Dolly Parton among stars set to receive honorary Oscars
Thirty-five years after Tom Cruise received his first Oscar nomination, he's finally getting a trophy. Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and Do The Right Thing production designer Wynn Thomas have all been selected to receive honorary Oscar statuettes at the annual Governors Awards, the film academy said. Dolly Parton will also be recognised with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her decades-long charitable work in literacy and education. 'This year's Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact,' Academy president Janet Yang said in a statement. Most recipients of the prize historically have not yet won a competitive Oscar themselves. Cruise, 62, has been nominated four times, twice for best actor in Born on the Fourth of July and Jerry Maguire, once for supporting actor in Magnolia and once for best picture with Top Gun: Maverick. He has also championed theatrical moviegoing and big-scale Hollywood production through the coronavirus pandemic. Ms Yang spotlighted Cruise's 'incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community' Parton has been nominated twice for best original song, for 9 to 5 and, in 2006, Travelin' Thru from the film Transamerica. But her honour celebrates her humanitarian efforts over the years, through organisations like the Dollywood Foundation and the literary programme Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Ms Yang said Parton 'exemplifies the spirit' of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. The awards will be handed out during an untelevised ceremony on November 16 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles. Last year's recipients included the late Quincy Jones, Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor.
