Paula Deen RIPS Lisa Jackson Over Bogus Racism Allegations, Lawsuit

Paula Deen has filed a blistering response to the lawsuit that is torpedoing her career, claiming Lisa Jackson embellished or made up her racism allegations. Yes, Paula admitted using racial slurs in the deposition she gave, but remember that she has NOT admitted anything Jackson has accused her of. Deen said, under oath, that she has used racial epithets in the past, in conversations with friends and family – never in a discriminatory situation. She is fuming that Jackson, who was fired as manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House, is actually asking for damages based on racism. Citing discrimination and harassment, Lisa Jackson claims she is “African-American adjacent” – her partner has a biracial niece, she claims in the lawsuit. According to Deen, Jackson’s niece is NOT African-American , but Hispanic. Also, Paula is furious that Jackson alleges she used the n-word in connection with her brother Bubba’s wedding, yet has never offered any proof of this. Thus, Deen feels she was deposed in a lawsuit and forced to admit having used shameful – but quite possibly irrelevant – terms based on bogus claims. As we know, in the wake of the scandal, she’s been fired by Food Network … and Walmart, Caesars, Smithfield Foods, Target, and (sort of) QVC. The celebrity chef wants the case thrown out, and for a judge to throw the book at Jackson, fining her with sanctions for creating a BS harassment case. Stay tuned …

Claudia Traisac: Dating Josh Hutcherson!

Sorry, ladies. But Hunger Games stud Josh Hutcherson is taken. Us Weekly has posted a photo of the young actor and Paradise Lost co-star Claudia Traisac sharing a lot more than a stroll in Los Angeles over the weekend. They are totally swapping spit as well! Hutcherson had previously (and erroneously) been linked to Sophia Bush, while many believe he also romanced Vanessa Hudgens in 2011. Traisac, meanwhile, has mostly starred in Spanish television programs and movies. Paradise Lost , which filmed in Panama and also stars Benicio Del Toro, comes out next year.

Lisa Rinna Makes Like Marilyn Monroe, Weirds Everyone Out

The incomparable Lisa Rinna is apparently channeling her inner Marilyn Monroe in a new Instagram photo. One no one was probably anxious to see. Lisa didn’t say why she posed in this manner, but it’s likely for Sing Your Face Off , where she and other celebrity contestants take on the identity of a legend. Yes, that is apparently a real reality show. The former Days Of Our Lives actress is seen with her lips, famously filled with filler, painted fuchsia as she pouts “seductively,” her eyes half closed. Lisa, seen with shoulder length blonde hair in what is likely a wig, captioned the picture: “I went blonde. Now lets see if they have more fun.” Or let’s not. We can go either way on it.

Miley Cyrus Tweets Pic of Mystery Woman, Threatens Father

We know Miley Cyrus can Twerk . But now we also now she can tweak. Her dad, that is. In a big, threatening way. The singer posted a mysterious message on Twitter last night, addressing Billy Ray and writing: “Since you won’t reply to my texts I’m giving you an hour to tell the truth or ill tell it for you.” She included with the Tweet the following photo of herself alongside an unidentified woman: Cyrus then deleted the cryptic warning and implied her account was hacked. “Wtf? My twitter was just actin all types of cray!” she wrote. However, this isn’t the first time since her parents’ divorce that Miley has called out her father. Soon after Billy Ray and Tish announced their split, the star Tweeted to her dad: “Since your texts and email obviously aren’t working would you like to talk like this?” She did go on to wish her parent a happy Father’s Day a few days later, but damage has clearly been done here. Of what nature? It’s unclear. Miley’s messages are even more head-scratching than the We Can’t Stop video .

Jobs Trailer: Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

Say what you will about the Kutch, he does a fairly convincing Steve Jobs. Watch Ashton Kutcher take on the role of one of the most revered men of our time in the first trailer for  Jobs . Jobs Trailer The film tells the story of Jobs and Steve Wozniak, played by Josh Gad, as they start building computers in their garage, and eventually go on to found Apple Computers. It looks like a fairly straightforward, safely-played biopic, and the trailer feels a bit formulaic given that the movie was already lampooned  before it came out by the Funny or Die movie  iSteve . Dermot Mulroney, Matthew Modine, and James Woods also star. Jobs  will hit theaters August 16.

Paula Deen: Fired By Food Network Following Lawsuit, Racial Slurs

Paula Deen may have issued an apology for using racial slurs in both her Savannah, Ga., restaurants and also ever in her entire life, but that wasn’t enough for Food Network. Probably because the apology was terrible, but hey, she tried?? Earlier today it was announced that Food Network dropped the butter-loving Southern Belle known for sending love and “best dishes” to her viewers. Deen’s contract will not be renewed when it expires at the end of this month.  Deen, who made her mark on the Food Network with her sugary, fat-saturated foods, has faced quite a rocky couple of years, to say the least. First she announced that she had been diagnosed with and battled diabetes and received backlash from critics for not modifying her unhealthy recipes.  She went on to slim down with the South Beach diet before being slapped with a lawsuit regarding allegations of sexual harassment in her restaurants by G.M. Lisa Jackson. While Deen denies the sexual harassment, she doesn’t deny using racial slurs, and that, no doubt coupled with her skipped Today Show appearance this morning, landed her in hot water. All of this has left her image and her career in the slop trough, and it was all too much for Food Network, with which she will no longer be associated. It’s going to take more than a pan of brownies to apologize for this one. She’ll be serving up casseroles to everyone else while she eats Humble Pie. It’s a good thing she knows a thing or two about comfort food recipes , right?

Baby Mama Drama: Allison Mathis Appeals Judge’s Ruling On Low Child Support Payments For Chris Bosh, Claims He Lied About Residency!

Looks like Chrissy Bosh might have sunk his own battleship… Via GossipExtra Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh recently professed his love for Miami, saying: “I’m in Miami for the rest of my career. I plan to be there. I plan to retire there. I plan to win hopefully a lot more championships there. So that’s where home is.” But as Bosh prepares for tonight’s Game 6 of the NBA Finals, his words could eventually come back to haunt him! In August, Bosh told an Orlando judge trying to determine Bosh’s residency in connection with child support payments to a baby mama that his native Texas, not Florida, would always be his home. Saying he found Bosh to be credible when he told him he always intended to remain a Texan, the judge ruled in December that the ball player shouldn’t legally be considered one of us — never mind that Bosh lives on North Bay Road in Miami Beach. Baby mama Allison Mathis sued Bosh to force him to pay higher Florida child support rates, about $30,000-a-month instead of the $2,600-a-month that a court in Texas told Bosh to pay. Orlando Judge Robert Evans ruled in favor of Bosh — but with the case now in appeals court, Mathis’ lawyer says she’ll use Bosh’s new-found love for Miami to show how Bosh lied to Evans. “Chris Bosh’s testimony in court about his being a Florida resident is exactly opposite of what he recently told the media,” said attorney Jane Carey. “He now says he intends to retire here after playing for the Heat. “You can’t be a resident of Texas and retire in Florida. “Chris Bosh fooled the trial judge, but we believe that the Appellate Court will reverse the lower court decision.” We’re not sure if Chris’ dedication to Miami in an interview is legal grounds for Allison to get more money, but that won’t stop a thirsty broad from trying.
