Celebrity Roundup deal of the day: Canvas People is offering a FREE CANVAS print special — just pay shipping. Great gift for Valentine’s Day.
You guys! I promise I had every intention of having this Roundup ready to go first thing this morning. But you see, I was busy with treadmill time, which is an actual legitimate thing because I put it on Foursquare and checked in and later this week with probably become mayor so put that in your salad and eat it (we eat salads around here now.)
I mean, let’s face it, I’m not getting any younger and this 20 extra pounds of baby weight won’t lose itself.
Ok fine! Geez! It was 10 pounds of baby weight and then another 10 gained back because I thought nursing would burn off all that ice cream and cheese. You people are relentless.
It’s time for me To put on my big girl sports bra and get healthy – something Paula Deen should have done several years ago.
Paula Deen in the Roundup? AS the lead story? I’m as surprised as you are.
Paula Deen announced her diagnosis of type 2 diabetes Tuesday on the Today Show. A diagnosis she received 3 years ago but continued to delight fans with such classics as Brown Sugar Bacon and Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf (bacon, butter, cheese, repeat.) During the show, she also announced she had signed on as spokeswoman for diabetes drub Nova Nordisk, a move criticized by fellow Food Network host Anthony Bourdain, who Tweeted: ”Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.”
Pin It
And while he has a point, something tells me it’s not a great idea to mess with a Southern lady.
The whole thing reminds me of this:

But come on, how brilliant is Paula Deen anyway? Re-introduce the world to 1950s Southern cooking, give everyone diabetes, sell a diabetes drug. As if she wasn’t getting kickbacks from the butter council or Jimmy Dean or whoever. Further proof Paula Deen is either trying to take over the world or is some crazy serial killer, but with butter.
From clogged arteries to a broken heart — I have some sad (or happy, depending on how you feel about him) news about Johnny Depp, who is reportedly living a “sad, separate life” with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis. People Magazine is reporting the couple, who have lived a quiet life in France and rarely appear in tabloids, have split after 14 years together (which, according to my impeccably kept and accurate records [yeah right] makes theirs one of the longest Hollywood romances). Radar Online reported he’s “not doing well” despite being an actor who is skilled at hiding his feelings, which is how you know it’s rull bad and also how you know Radar Online has consulted their Websters to determine the exact meaning of the word ‘actor’.
What would Jack Sparrow do? Probably drink more rum.
Ok, one more bombshell. Are you ready for this?
OK Magazine is reporting Angelina Jolie is pregnant — with her fourth biological child! Wait, what!? I thought she was just gonna keep collecting children from all over the world in an attempt to create her very own version of It’s a Small World. Sources say she’s already gutted her bedroom and re-decorated in white in preparation for the new bundle of joy, because as we all know, white is the most practical color for newborns.
Go ahead and add that smooth move to the category of: More Money than Sense.
And there’s more!
- Beyonce is under fire from critics, who say her skin is significantly lighter shade in her the recently released promotional photo for 2001 album 4. That’s not Bey, it’s her surrogate. Duh.
- Rihanna and Chris Brown are supposedly hooking up after his brutal assault on her three years ago. You know that Rihanna, such a role model.
- Third time is a charm for Britney Spears, who will reportedly marry Jason Trawick this summer. Time to settle down, buy a house, be a Mom. It’s fun, Brit, I promise.
- Former Real Housewives of New York star Alex McCord blasted the show, calling it “faux reality” because using the word “faux” makes you automatically better than anyone else on Bravo. What? Reality shows aren’t real? next thing you know, she’ll be telling us that Angelina has a lot of kids and too much brown sugar and butter gives you diabetes.
- Tim Tebow drowned his sorrows in Las Vegas after losing to New England. All-you-can-eat shrimp and virgin strawberry daiquiris sure do lift the spirits!
- Actress Zoe Saldana was a hero this week after she aided an elderly car crash victim in Hollywood. You know you’re fierce when you play hero while wearing stiletto booties.
- Taylor Swift was seen out and about with teen heartthrob Zac Effron. Let’s talk about how T-Swift is described as “un-lucky in love” in that article. Because she’s 22 and has a couple of failed romances? It’s called being a 20-something, Tay. Get over yourself.
- A severed head and feet were found near the Hollywood sign — close to Brad Pitt’s house. I’m speaking for everyone when I say that’s a little too Seven for my taste.
Finishing up the Roundup today with my favorite Paula Deen clip of all time. Enjoy.

I totally took a break for work from this. You know I’m dedicated to my Celebrity news!
And you know I’ve been living “under a rock” when I have my jaw on the floor about the Angelina news. WHAT?!
Oh and you are soooooo right about Tay Swift. However, I’m sort of disappointed that she wasn’t the first one to go comfort Johnny Depp.

When I heard the news that Paula Deen was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, my first thought was honestly, “Well… DUH!” But then when I heard that she was diagnosed THREE YEARS AGO, I was like, “Really? Really, Paula?” File me under those who think she had a moral and ethical responsibility to, if not disclose this info sooner, at least offer healthier recipes on her show.
And I don’t believe Angelina Jolie is nearly three months pregnant. Her Golden Globes gown left nothing to the imagination – and, I’m sorry, but after three biological children and one twin pregnancy, you ain’t gonna look that svelte at three months the fourth time around.

I just LAUGHED OUT LOUD at the It’s a Small World comment! Ha! That was awesome. I agree with Kristin about Angie’s Golden Globes dress. Although I would LOVE to see what another biological Brangelina child would look like!
What kind of wedding gown do we think Britney Spears will wear?
Who do we think Johnny Depp will date first after his supposed separation/divorce?
Thank you for giving me something to read while I wait for my drug test for my NEW JOB!! What’s even funnier is it is working at the brand new Paula Deen’s restaurant opening up in the casino by my house. Ironic no? With any luck I’ll be able to meet the lady herself as she will be there for the grand opening. Bring on the diabetes!!
Seeing Paula Deen riding a stick of butter made my day.
And I think Johnny Depp should start dating Shiloh Pitt.
(Because he wouldn’t want to date Suri. She wears more makeup than Jack Sparrow, right?)
I know. I know. These ladies ARE a little young…but we need them hooked up STAT with men who are known for long-term relationships. Otherwise by the time they’re in middle school, they’ll be known for being “unlucky in love.”
(Poor Taylor.)

I admit, the Depp divorce is actually really sad to me. I really thought those crazy kids were going to make it.

I don’t think getting to hook up with Taylor L., Jake G., Zackey E.,Jonai, etc actually means “unlucky in love”. I think that’s incrediby lucky.
“Go ahead and add that smooth move to the category of: More Money than Sense”..love it!! Also, I missed the severed head thing,weird. Maybe ,if Paula Dean paid more heed to that kind of bizzaro stuff she wouldn’t be so obsessed with butter & brown sugar.

I think Angelina will go on having kids for as long as she biologically can and the world is still filled with orphans. Can’t say I blame her – this motherhood thing is so addictive!!

I wasn’t shocked when I heard about Paula Dean, but when I found out that it was THREE years ago? Not cool Paula, not cool.
That severed head thing freaked me out!

Ok, don’t hate but I am NOT a fan of Paula Dean. Never have been, never will be. I totally support A.B! Also, I love how the hollywood police said they may suspect foul play about the head. Um… it’s a head! Ya think?!?!

I love those Paula Deen pins. I’ll admit we’ve made a couple of her really fat recipes, but not too many. Kind of crazy that she’s hidden that for three years.
I wonder if Angelina is really pregnant again – she definitely didn’t look it at the Golden Globes.

I’m tardy to the party! This whole Paula Deen thing is disappointing, but she can do with her body what she likes. Hopefully her lifestyle won’t rub off on too many other people. Her recipes are great for weekends, though.
I had no idea Angie was pregnant again, nor that Johnny Depp was single. I’ll have to tell my mom about this. She is in L-O-V-E with him.
Rhianna is an idiot. What the hell is that girl thinking?
