The boy has cancer..and she can't make time in her busy schedule! good grief.

You have to read the whole article. It is not that she did not want to visit the boy or have him on her set, but that her schedule did not permit it. Those schedules take up months in advance and one cannot suddenly decide that on a whim to give up a few hours when a city so many miles away is expecting you to demonstrate cooking skills or whatever. So it is not that she was a big meanie. Oh and consider if she had decided to not go to a certain city, that she might be sued for not appearing. The only time she could make time is when she is putting together her tv show so that he can appear in one of her episodes. I suppose that is what happened.

Reading the whole story, I think Ina just stuck to her schedule. She had been helping other kids like Enzo before so I don't see her intentionally taking the request down. I think she's just busy with her life and when the news broke to the public that she snubbed the kid who requested a time with her, she realized it'll make bad publicity and would ruin her reputation. Famous people need good publicity because that's like the foundation of their work. It doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't wanna meet the kid, I think she wanted to but can't because of busy schedule. I don't see it more than that.

I don't care for her as her shows are so boring. She is very monotone, very non-viewer relating and seems to also have some kind of arrogant attitude to her. Who the heck does she think she is? I watch several of the others, they are entertaining, interesting, knowledgable, and just nice people talking to you. But her...can't stand her or her show and just don't understand why she is still on the Network. There are so many others so much better than she. But turning down things like that...those "upper class TV-its" feel they can..they got other viewers, no big deal. Bet she is thinking a little different now. Good grief, it was just a book signing. Seeing the child would have taken hardly any time...postpone one of the book signings or something! Frankly, I think his second choice was much better anyway. Those dolphins are much more fun and enjoyable! intersting to see how this effect her show and ratings...

I think that this is a very unfortunate situation. I get that she has a busy planned out schedule, and that she helps other children with illness, but this boy specifically asked for her for his MakeAWish. I mean she couldn't fit him in at some point. No one can tell me that she didn't have some down time inbetween this book tour, and whatever else she was so busy with, that even if her "schedule" was to busy she couldn't have gone herself to make his wish come true. It amazes me that people can be so selfish. Honestly, how would she have felt if something would have happened to that boy, and all he ever got from her was a great big "I'm to busy". It just makes me want to shake people like that and say "Wake up! Have some compassion!" Hopefully the boy enjoys his second wish, and that Ina makes good on her promise to meet with the boy.

I think it is all about money..those people who have a lot money and they know how to make some more.. they dont want to stop they life to make somebody happy (if they are happy so why care about other people?) it is soo sad and I hope she can look back what is going on and try to do the right thing...i whish people could love more other people(even they aren't their relatives) the world would be much better! love

she is really so busy?until that she could accompany him since he had a cancer?

that is too bad that she couldnt clear at least a day in her busy schedule for this poor boy. maybe he should have checked and hung out with rachel ray?!
