Paula Deen’s Talk Show
I attended the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertainment show in Atlanta this weekend, and aside from array of gourmet foods and cooking tools scattered throughout the convention, I had the pleasure to see the one and only Paula Deen! Rather than cooking up a meal for us, she decided to use the hour to simply talk to her fans and answer questions. As the hour progressed, Paula seemed to get very excited about some new news she recently learned, and was anxious to share with us. After asking permission from her agents ((twice)) to disclose the info, she finally revealed that she will have her own talk show beginning September 2009! Watch the video to see exactly what she said!

Paula Deen has gone from rags to riches and is a very talented woman. She started off with $200 in her pocket when she started a small catering company called The Bag Lady in Savannah. She made it to where she is today without a husband, and only her two boys to help her in the kitchen. I would say she’s more of a role model than a cackling attention whore. But that’s just my opinion.

As a Southerner who is disabled and at home,I wish that I could be in the work force again …It is hard to be at home and to watch your backside grow…
I can tell you one thing though , we do NOT need to be bombarded with this CARTOON of a human being Paula Deen…She does NOT represent the South…She’s like Jerry Clower or Jeff Foxworthy or Hee Haw…She’s a joke…Mr.Clower,Mr.Foxworthy and the Hee Haw folks were not dirty and they didn’t do just anything at all for money…Paula Deen is what we call white trash…Money does not a change a sow’s ear into a silk purse…And,believe me this woman is definitely a big sow’s ear !
If she has a talk show someone will really have to censor the thing…Children shouldn’t hear some of the things that flow from her mouth !

I didn’t realize so many people had a problem with Paula Deen! I guess you’ll just have to find something else to watch on TV when her show is on. Thanks for the input though!

I have been a fan of Paula’s in the past. I admire the way she came from basically nothing to build the success that she enjoys today. I still watch her cooking show, although the older episodes are still my favorites. Paula and I are from the same hometown, so I have always felt a bit of a kindred connection to her. But, I almost feel like she’s getting away from her roots now. When she first started her cooking show, she seemed more simple - more just humble and down to earth. These days, you just never know what’s going to fly out of her mouth - especially on “Paula’s Party” where she is known to get a little more rowdy. And, many of the items she prepares on her show aren’t really Southern or “down home” dishes at all. I know she is bound to run of recipe ideas at some point, but I just think she has gotten away from what gave her such a draw with the fans early on in her Food Network career.
I also think that she is becoming as over-exposed and over-commercialized as Rachael Ray. Both Paula and Rachael have such charm and charisma on their own and their first Food Network shows really drew me in on a regular basis. These days, I can take them or leave them and I mostly leave them. This is because everywhere you look lately, there is Rachael or Paula. I feel that being this commercialized really dilutes what they really stand for. At some point it seems to me that it’s more about the money and fame than it is the passion for the job.
Don’t get me wrong, if this makes Paula Deen a happy lady, then I’m happy for her. Will I tune in? Doubtful. I’m just not sure its’ the right fit for Paula. I wish her success though and just hope she doesn’t burn out and lose her passion.

Touché, Kelly. Well said. I will admit though, she was very entertaining at the cooking show!
May 5th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I have no doubt that she is still highly entertaining. I think that at the very heart of Paula, she is still one heck of a lady. It’s just that she’s definitely been over-commercialized of late. And, honestly, sometimes she says things I just find to be entirely too racy or crass. Our 4 year old loves to watch “Miss Paula” and there are plenty of times when I am thankful that what Paula says on her party show go over the little one’s head. Given those factors, I can’t imagine her having a talk show. But, time well tell how it will work out for her.

I’m from the great state of Alabama and find her absolutely appalling… What ” positive stereotype ” is she trying to portray…? There are many hard working women and single mothers in the south and I can tell you that the only ones who act like that are the dregs of our southern culture…In fact my ninety year old mother , who happens to be a great southern LADY , cannot bear to listen to her or watch her…She refers to Ms. Deen as that nasty trashy woman who screeches … And, personally I have never heard a southerner say Y’ALL every few syllables … And I was born,bred and raised in the south by great and true southern people…. She is an embarrassment …
May 7th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Not a Paula-Hater ,I’m definitely not enthralled though …But, so sick that she is perpetuated by Americans who are actually entertained by this moron…
By the way… She needs a serious dose of salt peter….. She’s the most sexually hungry person I’ve ever seen..

Um, there are about 500 channels out there, and you could all be watching something else if you don’t like Ms. Deen. At least she doesn’t put other people down like you all have done here! If you don’t like her, DON’T WATCH! Change the friggin’ channel — or here’s a novel idea — turn the TV off and read a book or go outside. Ms. Deen was very kind to a very dear friend of mine just before he died. I bet none of you have even met her. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for making nasty comments about someone you don’t even know and aren’t forced to encounter.
May 9th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
So Rachel…You know Paula Deen personally ? Have you met her ?
Well,enlighten yourself and open your mind up about your Miss Paula…Go to …

Oh and by the way it is MS.DEEN who should be ashamed of herself..
For MANY reasons !

Give me a break Gene! Blaming Paula for Smithfield is like blaming a Toyota owner for the fall of the US auto plants in Michigan! She is NOT the company or the products, or has any sayso in what is going on. If you want to dislike her potty mouth, or the fact that she is becoming too commercial, so be it. Just quit being stupid with the Smithfield crap. By the way, I have about 15 pounds of Smithfield porkchops in my freezer, does this make me next in line for the mean crown?????

Geeze people where is the love. What is the matter with all of you? If something good happens to another person who has worked hard and earned it, you all get up in the air about it. I am born and raised in the south, and yes sometimes I do not agree with the way Paula puts things on her show, but as a woman, mother, daughter, and someone who wants good for others. I am happy for you her. With nothing, ok 200 in her pocket she made something. And was working pretty much 24/7 to get here. So instead of saying she is selling out, and calling names can we just say good for her. Because if the shoe were on the other foot, you would want others being happy for your success. Maybe that is it, she has it and you don’t. Why can’t we just be happy for her… geeze..

PS …I do not need anyone to write to let me know I added an extra word there, I saw it after I posted it. So I am aware of my mistake.

An evening with Paula Deen was not what a lot of people expected.
Instead of a evening with Paula Deen cooking and sharing family stories she shared oral sex, visits to the urologist and more. More than anyone would want to know. Why would Paula Deen think people who forked over 40 bucks would want to hear about oral sex and her trash mouth.
While standing in the lobby of Harrah’s a very nice lady said her women’s group was furious with the xxx content of the Evening with Paula Deen with Paula referring to herself as a s_ut, s_ut. And telling a local newspaper reporter she is a slot s_ut.
This woman needs to think to the future. She has a grandchild and will most likely have more. I can just hear the taunts at school.
I doubt many people will watch her program that attended the Evening with Paula Deen due to being reminded of her trash talking.
She is a beautiful lady and does not need and her audience does not want this kind of conduct from her.
Very dissappointed in Tunica
Read all about the grand opening and a Evening with Paula.

You people that put down Paula Deen need to get a life! if you don’t like her so what! she made a name for herself with $200.00 in her pocket, I think she is so damned funny and down to earth, you all don’t know her from Adam, what is it envy? you all are so ready to believe what you read and call her trash I think is she is genuine as a flawless diamond! and you all should get a life and stay away from the food network if you don’t like her, she has millions of fans and i’m sure she will not miss you few! and her name is not paula smithfield, it’s paula deen, Gene!reply nasty if you must, because this BRonx, N.y girl will give it to you good! again GET A LIFE!

oh, by the way I met paula and got a autograph when she was in n.y at the Food Network Studio in Chelsea Market taping paula’s party ! and yeah, I did talk to her!
August 22nd, 2008 at 2:31 am
Oh shut the hell up. I don’t get why some of you are so critical of her. Shes hilarious and bighearted, and I’m thrilled to know shes getting her own talk show. I’m also glad to know such a down-to-earth type of gal is doing so well for herself.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Well, I have to agree with one of the posts I read. I , too, am tired of her cackling, loud mouth. She’s become over bearing and ruined it when she got away from cooking and started gabbing too much and turning most of her conversations into sexual inuendo.
She’s become extremely obnoxious , whether or not she’s come from rags to riches doesn’t matter. It’s where she is NOW and I turn her off every time she shows up on my t.v.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Bev,
It’s apparant why YOU like paula deen. Crass likes crass.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Elizabeth,
I too, am from the south. I’m a Georgia girl. You are correct in that P. Deen does NOT represent the south.
She has NO humility.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Paula Deen has become increasily embarrassing over the years. “Paula’s Party” is a prime example. Licking chocolate off people’s face? Sticking her tongue in butter? Making sexual comments?
Why in the world does she feel like she has to overdue it? It’s like she’s a Southern Nazi.
I’m so embarrassed for her I have to turn her off.
