Paula Deen Gets Hit in the Face With a Smithfield Ham
While handing out Thanksgiving food donations in Atlanta, celebrity chef Paula Deen was accidentally hit in the face with a ham. Paula had playfully thrown a ham like it was a football to a tall guy across the room. The camera moved off Paula for a minute, but apparently he decided to hurl it back at her and it clocked her in the nose. Poor Paula! She had a very good sense of humor about it and she says she wasn't hurt. But it looks painful. Take a look:
Paula Deen and her husband Michael Groover appeared on The Today Show to show Kathie Lee and Hoda how to make Paula's Cola basted ham. Michael has a new book out called
My Delicious Life with Paula Deen which is all about his life and how it changed when he met Paula eight years ago (she was chasing her dogs onto his property -- it was the ultimate cute meet). Paula announced that she and Smithfield Hams are giving away one million servings of food to food banks in the next year to help fight hunger in America. Take a look:
