He’s gone on the Today Show to defend his reputation and the restaurant’s honor. But what’s the real lesson here for him and chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Alton Brown, Bobby Flay, Paula Deen, and others like them who have their own shows on the cable TV networks?

Celebrity chef Paula Deen kept Type 2 Diabetes secret for 3 years?
Why did Paula Deen keep news about her health a secret for over three years? As a result of her promotion of the most unhealthy recipes she could possibly create, celebrity chefs like Anthony Bourdain are being extremely critical of her. Since the Food Network behind the scenes rumor is she’s been in talks for years to pitch a new diabetes drug for Novo Nordisk, she has not gotten any sympathy for her disease. Confirming Type 2 Diabetes has (in the short term) not worked out so well for her. But, according to the pharmaceutical company and Paula Deen herself, she has never planned to endorse any pill for them. So why not tell? Keep reading…

Eva Longoria cookbook better than Gwyneth Paltrow’s new book because she is a better cook?
[Apr. 10]
Gwyneth Paltrow and Eva Longoria both have released a new celebrity chef cookbook recently, though the cookbook by Gwyneth Paltrow, My Father’s Daughter, is getting knocked for being too pretentious.
Foodie sources say the green celebrity actress comes from a far different background than that of Desperate Housewives green celebrity star and Golden Globe nominee Eva Longoria. Some people are saying that the cookbook by Gwyneth Paltrow is too pretentious for regular woman who don’t cook with duck bacon, soy milk, and 60 dollar olive oil.
Really? Go figure.
Gwyneth Paltrow comes from money, and her new website GOOP has come under heavy criticism for the star celebs and her friends offering ridiculous lifestyle advice no one other than those in Hollywood income brackets can afford.
But Eva Longoria, on the other hand, is a restaurant owner with Beso Steakhouse locations in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Despite the fact she’s made a tidy fortune on Desperate Housewives and working in L’Oreal commercials giving her celebrity endorsement to the French company’s make up products, she’s earned her fortune.
Eva Longoria, of Mexican descent, grew up the youngest of four children on a ranch in Texas with a mother, a special education teacher with a special needs daughter (the eldest), who always had dinner on the table by 6 p.m., according to TheCelebrityCafe.com.
