Georgia history books report 458 lynchings there from 1882-1930, making for “a permanent bruise on the Peach State,” a Savannah Morning News op-ed reads. Better make it 459 after the treatment Paula Deen has gone through, her hometown paper says, after the treatment she’s received over the past few weeks. We’re not paraphrasing, that’s their word of choice. The opinion piece states : “Savannah’s celebrity chef has been lynched – figuratively and publicly in the court of public opinion, and without a full and fair accounting of the facts.” Why? Mostly because the 66-year-old master of comfort food recipes and self-made mogul “said ‘no’ to the equivalent of a shakedown.” The editorial uses the lynching metaphor as “a reminder that justice should be dispensed in court, not at the end of a rope” or “by money-grubbing lawyers.” When Deen refused to pay $1.25 million in hush money to a former employee of her brother’s restaurant, the paper says, “the lynch mob began forming.” How bad was the effort to bilk and slander Paula? Savannah attorney S. Wesley Woolf reportedly wrote to Deen’s lawyer, on behalf of Lisa Jackson : “Exposure of the racist and sexist culture of her corporate and personal life is going to permanently, and irreparably, damage the value of the brand,” “If we are unable to settle, the Complaint will not be quietly filed. I am making arrangements for a press conference on the day of the filing.” “I have identified the journalist for the New York Times who covers civil rights matters and he will be provided a pre-filing exclusive.” “A nationwide press release will be issued to the major networks, newspapers, newsmagazines and news websites across the country.” The Times didn’t break the June 19 story about Deen using racial slurs (in the distant past) – the National Enquirer did – but the story spread rapidly. The Morning News notes that Jackson’s goal was “whipping a mob into a frenzy,” and calls it “a lynching for our times,” a term it insists is fitting. None of this absolves Deen from using a racist slur, the paper says, but “there is such as thing as punishment fitting the crime … this doesn’t come close.” “These rope burns were undeserved.” Do you agree? Was Deen the victim of a virtual lynch mob? Or did she deserve what she got? Share your comments with us and vote in our survey below: Should Deen have been fired? Yes, there is no excuse for what she did. No, cut the woman some slack people! No, I just like her food, who cares what she says/does! View Poll »
Kim Kardashian made sure her man’s first-ever Father’s Day was a memorable one this year. Kanye West revealed via Twitter that his baby mama gifted him with two Apple computer mice last month, one signed by Steve Jobs and and the other by Steve Wozniak. Their relevance? West told The New York Times recently that his is the Steve Jobs of the Internet . Kanye included the photo above along with his Tweet, one of just seven he has written since May. The entire World Wide Web, of course, continues to wait on photos of North West , as West and Kardashian remain oddly quiet and private regarding their newborn. We hope everything is alright.
* The one of Kim Kardashian herself, we mean. Sorry, did the headline mislead you? Kim and Kanye West are yet to unveil a single picture of North West , but the former did take advantage of Throwback Thursday on Instagram today. She posted a shot of herself and mother Kris Jenner from way back in the day, as little Kim clearly had a long way to go before she perfected the art of posing. As for the Kim Kardashian baby photos people actually want to see? The ones you likely hoped this article would feature? Our eyes are open. Our lids are peeled. Our sources are working the phones. Nothing yet.

North West is clearly a ridiculous baby name. But according to a Kim Kardashian insider, it’s ridiculous for a reason you might not expect. Someone supposedly in the know tells TMZ that Kimye did not name its daughter North West due to the direction , but rather as a metaphor for “up.” Huh? “What’s North of North ? Nothing,” the source says, explaining that Kardashian and West see the moniker as their pinnacle, as their “North Star.” And Kris Jenner echoed this very odd sentiment today on The View , telling the hosts of her granddaughter’s name: “The way [Kim] explained it to me was that North means Highest Power, and she says that North is their highest point together… I thought that was really sweet.” It’s something alright. What do you think of the name North West? I love it! So cute and different! Not the biggest fan, but it’s okay. LOL that is the dumbest baby name ever! View Poll »
Demi Lovato’s estranged father, Patrick Lovato, has died. No details about the death are available, but her sister, Dallas Lovato, broke the news over Twitter, writing simply, “Rest in peace daddy I love you.” Demi Lovato wasn’t close to her dad, to put it mildly. She stated a few years ago that she had no interest in developing a relationship with her dad, who she wrote “For the Love of a Daughter” about. This was reportedly prompted by interviews given by her estranged dad to benefit from his daughter’s fame, rather than being the father she needed. Given that Lovato suffered from eating disorders and self-mutilation of her wrists to cope with insecurity and depression, one can see her frustration. Just the same, we can’t imagine how hard this is on her and we hope the family is banding together during what can only be a terrible difficult time. We don’t know the status of their relationship in the recent past and can only wish this bright young star the best as she grieves with family and friends.
