Celebrity Buzz Paula Deen isn't letting her Type 2 diabetes get her down. Nor is she letting it stop her from stuffing her face with a cheeseburger and fries, as she did this week while on a cruise.
Bobby Flay, America's greatest high-school dropout turned celebrity chef, filled in for Hoda on Today and he brought booze. Shocking, I know.

Their audience is shrinking while simultaneously getting fat.
Food Buzz Guy Fieri, celebrity chef, has a knack for terrible wordplay. Here are some of his actual recipes.

The coolest chef on Planet Earth opines on the current state of culinary television. If you've never read his original evisceration of Sandra Lee, you should probably check that out, too.
Oh noooooez! At the recent South Beach Wine & Food Festival, celebrity chef and professional heart attack-inducer Paula Deen lost her pants (and kind of on purpose!). At least we finally have our answer: for the record, she wears flesh-colored panties.

Apparently, the star of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern may be out to eat your balls. It's part of an “ate my balls” web ring that includes Karl Lagerfeld, Vanity Fair, and Barack Obama.
Possibly even worse than Rachael Ray's poisonous dog food, is Sandra Lee's hideous Kwanzaa Cake. This cake won't kill you, but if forced to eat it you will wish for death.
