Bad Boss Alert: Paula Deen's filthy food secrets.

Fresh trash tomorrow! Last trash of the week... right now!

I know that online gossip and supermarket gossip do not aim at the same demographic, so I have no idea if Paula Deen sells magazines or not. All I know is that her fans find the posts I put up here on this blog with astonishing regularity. This week, a disgruntled former employee says Ms. Deen eats off customers' plates and sticks her filthy fingers in their food.

Stay classy, Enquirer!

Pretty soon, the tabloids won't have Oprah to kick around anymore and they have to find another TV star to say mean things about. The early indication is they are going to go after the cooking show stars. From what I've seen of the posts I've put up that still get multiple visits for months, this may be an excellent choice.

Meanest Story nominee:Oprah's Employees Tell All!

The Flagship continues to tilt at windmills, trying to take down the Most Powerful Woman On The Planet. They say some employees are suing Oprah, but it sounds more like blackmail. Among the tidbits are:

• High on drugs while taping the show
• They watched her take drugs and pass out
• Racist rants
• Gayle slept with Oprah's flight attendant

None of this is flattering, but I don't see how an employee can sue over any of this stuff. The racist rants stuff might be part of a harassment charge, but the rest of it is better suited to the front page of a sleazy magazine rather than submitted as evidence in a court of law.

Wait! It's on the cover of a sleazy magazine! What a stroke of luck!
