Celebrity Buzz This morning, Paula Deen sat down with the “Today Show” to address the claim that she has diabetes. Deen says she was diagnosed over three years ago but waited until today to say anything because she “had to figure things out in my own head.” “I've always encouraged moderation,” she continued, and remains hopeful: “I'm here today to let the world know, it is not a death sentence.”

Melanie Hutsell, SNL's top player for a brief period in 1993 (remember her Jan “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!” Brady?) has reappeared with an impressive impersonation of butter enthusiast Paula Deen. And, just for the record, we'd like to adopt Paula as our nana. (And we'd take Melanie as the weird aunt, too, just so she doesn't feel left out.)
