After rising to culinary stardom preparing impossible meals on his Food Network series, Robert Irvine has met an obstacle his kitchen prowess couldn't overcome — an embellished resume.

The star of "Dinner: Impossible" has acknowledged fabricating some of the more fantastic parts of his resume, including having cooked for Britain's Royal Family and various U.S. presidents.

Following the revelations, the network announced it would not renew Irvine's contract, though it would air the remaining episodes of the current season, the series' fourth.

"I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family," Irvine said in a written statement. "I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts."

Seemed like kind of a prick to me.

4. I won't ...

he's a big drama queen and I really don't care that he has to prepare a meal for 200 people with just 3lbs of hamburg, a carrot and some allspice in 4 hours.

Yawnfest.

7. If only they'd dump Rachael Ray...

I can't STAND her. Irvine may be a prick, but Ray's a complete hack.
