Bobby Flay got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, and the ceremony was mostly notable because someone (!!) brilliantly timed it so a plane would be flying overhead, flaying a big “CHEATER” banner. I covered that yesterday. Many of you assumed that Stephanie March – Flay’s estranged wife, who is currently trying to get a crappy prenup thrown out – was the one to arrange the CHEATER banner. Stephanie March wants you to know that you are wrong.
When the Walk of Fame becomes the Walk of Shame!? Bobby Flay may have been posing with his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, June 2, but it was something in the sky that really had cameras flashing. As seen in pics, the celebrity chef — who is in the middle of a messy divorce — looked up to find a “Cheater” airplane banner flying over his ceremony. Many speculated that his estranged wife, Stephanie March, was behind the stunt, but her lawyer says she’s not involved.
“Stephanie is absolutely not behind [this],” her attorney, Deborah Lans, tells Us Weekly in a statement.
I honestly believe that Stephanie March did not call up this plane-banner-flier and order this act. I don’t think she would waste money on that, nor do I think she’s dumb enough to leave her fingerprints all over it by directly ordering it. But would March’s lawyers do it? That’s the question. And I still think it’s a solid possibility that one of Bobby Flay’s alleged “other women” might have had a hand in it too. After all, Stephanie March’s homebase is New York, not LA. But Giada De Laurentiis and January Jones live in LA. Cough.
Next up: March’s lawyers will arrange for a “HE A HO” billboard to be placed outside the courthouse.

I think they all did it. That would be awesome.
This.
This stunt has “well played” written all over it. Well played girls.
a la “Murder on the Orient Express”?…you may be onto something…
It was awesome.
So funny and they timed it perfectly. I was chuckling about that for hours.
Totally awesome…and to think I was once a fan of his culinary abilities.
Stephanie would have every right!!
My guess would be that Stephanie has friends. Brilliant.
Yeah, lots of possible suspects in this case, ha ha.
The irony is that she probably loses a lot of jobs to January Jones. She looks like her sister! That has to sting.
Whoa, I never thought about how similar they look, they really do!
January can’t act for sh*t though, I can only think of a few small parts she’s had other than Mad Men. I kind of hope she’ll fade out, something about her bugs me, maybe the fact that she sleeps with so many married or taken men.
Oh, I think Stephanie is so much prettier and classier looking than January.
January is one of those women that I think looks stunning from far away. I was surprised at how ordinary she looks up close.
priceless
If the lawyers did it, they are are worth every penny.
+1
This has Palua Deen written all over it . . .
Ha!
If there was ever a remake of the “First Wives Club” the writers would have to insert a scene like that. It is just too funny
So… Where does one order these “cheater plane banners”, and how much do they cost? One feels like one indeed needs one.
Oh no sad!! I’m so sorry. That is so so painful as I have been there myself. Find your banner and make it happen!! Good luck and I hope you feel better very soon!!
I LOVED this story. This is absolutely something I would do on behalf of a friend whom I thought was being victimized.
I happily imagined her LA friends watching the scene and cackling while toasting their drinks high in the air.
Ah. I would do this for an imaginary friend, and I know my imaginary friends would do the same for me. And I’d be innocent and be all like, “oh, I didn’t do it myself, a friend did.” Ha.
I have a group of very dear friends that I have no doubt would do this or something like this. All of our husbands/ significant others are aware of what the possibilities are if something goes wrong. They are slightly terrified.
Exactly!
I doubt she or her lawyers did it. A nice friend, perhaps? I love it, whoever it was.
I’ve seen something similar to this before and I tipped my hat then as well: http://www.justpo.st/post/31764
Spectacular!!!!
Î would SO do that for my BFF. Hehehe.
I think this has Betty Draper written all over it.
Shannon
I’m with you. This has January “I don’t give a fck” Jones written all over it. To me this is a way for her to have had her cake and purge it too. 😉
It was Anthony Bourdain. He knew no one would blame him.
I could actually see this being a colleague who finds him annoying (I’m sure there are many), though I also like the SM theory.
I meant to write *SM friend theory*
This is so very Delicious TBH
Petty But so so good
Yes, I’m sort of embarrassed by how much this delighted me.
I know I *should* be embarrassed, but I just feel like this is the ultimate victimless crime. It’s hilarious and it’s not like it’s going to harm Flay’s image or anything. Those of us who think he’s a turd still think so, and those who think he’s a god don’t care.
As if she would even admit it if she was the one to do it.
I thought it was super funny, but I hope she didn’t do it.
I would absolutely do this for my best friend. I think this whole story is such delicious gossip !
Can’t imagine a lawyer would allow this because it doesn’t advance her case forward. Plus the lawyer would be afraid it could be traced back to them and backfire.
I believe one of the side pieces he was cheating with thought she was the only side piece (!) and was horrified to find out that there were other side pieces. And she is mad. And she has nothing to lose.
This was not an expensive stunt, but it was quite effective. The person who did it should come forward for her 15 minutes. I would applaud.
His walk of fame star articles accompanied with the cheater banner = perfection. I’d love for her to sell the rights to the Flay part of her life. This would be a great movie!
There are legions of women out there that Bobby Flay wronged fist-bumping and high-fiving. I can completely see this being a group effort. Well done ladies!
As my mom says….that’s your lie. Tell it how you want to.
Giada’s husband did it. I believe that she and Flay were and still are bumping…whatever those two have.
I believe the word you are searching for is uglies, and it certainly applies here.
Slow clap.
in stereo.
I would suspect, one of the weekly tabloids paid for it. They have the cash to toss around. And they knew it would be amazing to have it done. Plus it was perfectly timed. So who ever has the best images of it… in this weeks tabloids… Paid for it.
I don’t believe for one moment Stephanie March.. or even January Jones… would do it.
But which ever tabloid is getting their “exclusive” gossip. Would pay for it. Happily.
“He a Ho” billboard?
Omg please yes.
Bwahahahaha yes!!!
Sure, Stephanie! And it’s a coincidence that you’re my new hero.
I still don’t care who did it. It’s brilliant and I am giving them an e high five.
I guess I’m in the minority here. If someone cheats, you dump them and move on. This is high school petty behaviour. Besides why would you expect anyone with a long history of being unfaithful to be faithful to you, it’s very unlikely that your genitals have magic powers.
