Semi-Homemade Star, Sandra Lee, Soars With Daytime Emmy Nomination and People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful

NEW YORK, May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Popular television host of "Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee" on the Food Network and a New York Times bestselling author, Sandra Lee wins two great honors in the same week: a Daytime Emmy nomination, and she is selected by People magazine as one of the world's 100 Most Beautiful.

On stands today, People magazine honors Sandra Lee as an "All-Consuming Beauty" in their special issue. Upon learning this was her category earlier this week, a humbled Lee commented, "When I think of People's 100 Most Beautiful issue, I think of Jennifer Aniston, not me. She has great hair!"

Ironically, the next day Sandra's television show, "Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee," received an Emmy nomination for the category of "Best Hairstyling." This was the first year the show submitted for this category.

Sandra Lee chirped, "If this means that my Semi-Homemakers are destined to have more great hair days -- then bless America!" In People Sandra reveals that it is champagne and chocolate truffles that keep her happy and healthy. The issue will remain on newsstands through May 16, 2008.
