Celebrity chefs have become a big business in recent years. Rare are the kitchen products, from pots and pans to garlic presses, that do not carry an endorsement from some chef with a cable television show and a chain of restaurants. Paula Deen is just such a person and received considerable attention last week when it was revealed that she has had type 2 diabetes for the past three years. This would not be particularly notable - diabetes is on the rise in this country, with more than 25 million adults and children affected by it - except for one thing.

Happy Holidays From the Diva of Do-Ahead By Diane Phillips Paula Deen Celebrates By Paula Deen Simon & Schuster / $26 / 2006 If you're a Southern belle, or want to cook like one, Paula Deen has a year's worth of holiday recipes from Dixie. Some are more authentic than others (collard-green-and-ham-hock pizza is suspect). But the fresh apple cake with raisins and pecans was true to its Southern roots and turned out beautifully. The deviled oysters would have been more appetizing without the hard-boiled eggs called for in the recipe.

Paula Deen's disclosure that she has type 2 Diabetes has triggered some harsh reactions. For years, Deen has featured high-calorie Southern foods in her cookbooks and on television. Some  folks are riled by the fact that that she was doing it while aware of her own diabetes, a disease that has been linked to a poor diets and excess weight. And they poked at Deen for aligning her new webste with Victoza, a diabetes medicine made by Novo Nordisk. Fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain -- who has famously called Deen "the most dangerous person in America" -- issued a veiled tweet that did not mention her name, but was taken by many to refer to her. It said: "Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.

The Paula Deen-Anthony Bourdain feud spilled over into this week. Deen talked about it on the Today show. Eater National has a recap and update . A reader reminded me of the comments about Deen that Bourdain made during his May 2010 appearance at Baltimore's Hippodrome theater. The then-recent purchase of the Travel Channel by Scripps Howard had put Bourdain in the Food Network family. Bourdain told the Baltimore audience, "So, I'm their boy now... If Guy Fieri needs a bikini waxing, they're calling me. Or Paula Dean needs a erotic rubdown...

California Angels pitcher Matt Keough may be able to resume playing baseball again in three months, according to the surgeon who performed Keough's emergency craniotomy Monday afternoon.Dr. Gordon Deen, of the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Mayo Clinic, said yesterday that Keough could be working out in three to four months. This, after what he called "the most severe head injury related to baseball I've ever seen." He compared the injury to one suffered in "a high-speed auto accident."Keough, 36, who was struck in the head in the dugout by a line drive during Monday's exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants, was upgraded from serious to fair condition and was moved out of intensive care.

COLLEGE PARK -- The group studying alternatives to a much-debated intercounty connector between Montgomery and Prince George's counties says it could support an east-west toll road.The 8-4 straw vote by the Transportation Solutions Group is the first indication of what will be recommended to Gov. Parris N. Glendening in July.Glendening created the working group last year after backing off from 15 years of solid support for an intercounty connector.The road, which would ease east-west travel, is also considered by officials at Baltimore-Washington International Airport to be essential to keeping BWI competitive with Dulles and Reagan National airports.

Paula Deen & Friends Living It Up, Southern Style By Paula Deen With Martha Nesbit Simon & Schuster Inc. / 2005 / $25 Southerners are known for their bountiful food and their gracious hospitality and celebrity cook Paula Deen puts it all together in her new book, Paula Deen & Friends: Living It Up, Southern Style. The silver-haired doyenne of the Food Network, who never met a stick of butter or a cup of buttermilk she couldn't include in a recipe, has organized essential Southern goodies in themed menus for every occasion in her new cookbook.

The chairman of a committee studying problems with the resurfacing of the Bay Bridge has resigned to avoid a potential conflict of interest. Hal Kassoff, former State Highway Administration chief, said he discovered that the international engineering firm he works for, Parsons Brinckerhoff, has a contract with Wallace Montgomery and Associates, which did design work on the resurfacing. The westbound span of the bridge is being resurfaced, and much of the work will have to be redone because of cracking concrete.

Paula Deen has long bragged about her unhealthy cooking, but now the southern chef has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes . While she said she is not changing her diet, her diagnosis could be a wake up call to people still clinging to fatty, sugar-filled diets. Deen said she has always eaten in moderation, but while Type 2 diabetes can be hereditary it is also diet related. Deen made her announcement while at the same time saying she was promoting a diabetes drug.

Paula Deen, who has made a very good living touting rich, Southern foods, has disclosed that she has type 2 Diabetes, and folks may wonder whether there's a connection. Deen, author of a series of popular cookbooks and host of television cooking shows, has never been shy about cooking foods that are bacon- or cream-filled. In fact, "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible" was listed among the worst of 2011 by the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, the Baltimore Sun's Picture of Health blog noted.

Southern chef Paula Deen makes no apologies for her butter-filled unhealthy recipes. So it's no surprise that her cookbook tops the list of worst of the year in terms of health in a report by the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. The group, that promotes healthy foods and eating, said Deen's and other unhealthy cookbooks encourage Americans to fill up on high-fat, meat-heavy meals. Jamie Oliver, the chef known for his aggressive campaign to make school lunches healthier, is also listed as one of the worst offenders.

TENNIS UCBAC Championships WHEN -- Wednesday through Saturday WHERE -- Harford Community College OUTLOOK -- C. Milton Wright was the dominant team in the confer ence this season. The Mustangs played in the tougher Chesapeake Di vision and were perfect (10-0) during the regular season. Fallston (7-2) was behind them. The question is how well the Susquehanna Division's top teams will do. Patterson Mill was a huge surprise, going 7-0 to be in first place despite having a team made up of freshmen and sophomores.

There are two camps on Paula Deen. And doesn't it seem like "camp" is the right word when it comes to the Food Network's Miz Paula? The honey-dipped accent, the butter-soaked recipes, the diamond ring as big as a wrestler's belt. Love her or hate her? With Deen on tour this summer for her stage show, "Paula Live!" (and coming to Washington's Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show in November), it's something to consider. Her fans love her with the devotion of puppies. At Deen's book signing at a Charlotte, N.C., Sur La Table in 2005, the crowd had to move into the mall to make room.
