Deen In The Hot Seat

Celebrity Chef Paula Deen is scheduled to be back in the hot seat this morning. After snubbing the Today Show on Friday citing "exhaustion" Deen is once again scheduled to be interviewed by Matt Lauer this morning to answer claims that she used the "N" word.

In a recent lawsuit deposition Deen admitted to using the word at two of her restaurants a long time ago. A former worker went on to claim Deen wanted to plan a party in the theme of a Southern plantation and staff it with black waiters dressed to resemble slaves.

Today's interview comes on the heels of her sons coming out to defend her yesterday. They say she is not a racist and that saying that she is, is "character assassination".

Bobby Deen said "Our mother is one of the most compassionate, good-hearted, empathetic people that you'd ever meet," he added. "These accusations are very hurtful to her, and it's very sad."

Paula Deen's show has been dropped from the Food Network and she's lost several endorsements. Today is her chance to set the record straight on what exactly was said and to apologize for her words. Do you think she will be able to say the right words to be forgiven?

Storage Wars Lawsuit

I really wonder if this is just a case of a sore loser but then again- maybe not. Storage Wars Star David Hester says he questioned the producers of  A&E about "planting" items in storage lockers- in order to fake the finds! Yah know- they do find something special on every episode- and they can't be that lucky!!

Then again- he has been fired- and he only filed the lawsuit about faking it- after being fired. Also- if you're a fan of the show- like I am- you will  you can see Dave is kinda a poor sport and short fuse when he doesn't get his way- isn't he?

Want to know a couple of the shows he says were faked- click HERE.

Good Hygene Threat

Apparently prison inmates can add bad breath to their arsenal to survive behind bars. A group of 11 inmates in the Westchester County jail in Valhalla New York sued to have access to dental floss but prison officials said it was too dangerous! Who knew!?! Well, prison officials did- apparently there's a pretty good history of the minty smelling string causing serious harm.

Yahoo reports: In Texas, officials believe a prisoner used floss to cut his way out of his cell, then jumped a fellow inmate and knifed him to death.

In Maryland, Illinois, West Virginia and Wisconsin, inmates collected enough floss to braid it into ropes and escape, or try to, over prison walls.

A group of escaped prisoners on the run in Texas used floss to sew up their gunshot wounds.

And a man in an Illinois jail used floss to stitch together the dummy he left in his bed when he took off.

The jail compromised and now has a supply of Kayser's "Floss Loops" — circles of rubbery floss with no hard plastic that are designed to break easily before they can be used as a weapon.

No word if that will the settle claim--- although they were also asking for $500-million dollars- so some would speculate it won't and that they're hoping that gingivitis pays.
