Paula Deen: Don't Associate Me With Butter

Chef would rather be tied to tastiest ingredient of all: 'hope'

(Newser) – Paula Deen is apparently very optimistic, because despite the fact that she's best known for creating recipes like fried butter balls, she said last night on Celebrities at Home that's not what she wants to be associated with. "When you hear the name Paula Deen, I don't want you to think of the word 'butter,'" she said, before going on to add even more optimistically, "But I want you to think of the word 'hope.'" All we have to say is: Good luck with that, Paula. Huffington Post has the video.

Gee she was OK with being associated with butter before she became KNOWN as a diabetic. All of a sudden it's not OK? If she doesn't want to be the 'Butter Lady' she needs to stop dropping sticks of it in everything she cooks.

I wonder what she would think of Last Tango in Paris

If you are fat and out of shape, it's not because of Paula Dean!  It's because you eat like crap and don't exercise.  I love how no one takes responsiblilty for their own health!  I love Paula Dean and have always enjoyed her show, but I don't eat like that everyday- that is really a no-brainer!  It is amazing how stupid people are!
