The Big Apologist

It was only a matter of time before a black person would assume the dubious distinction of functioning as an apologist for Paula Deen's penchant for the n-word and fondness for bygone days in which black men dutifully dressed up in crisp white jackets and bow ties and served white folks. Aaron McCargo, Jr., the self-described Big Daddy on the Food Network, has come to Deen's aid:
Hey everyone. I wanted to say a few words about Paula Deen. Paula has always been very helpful and supportive throughout my career, and as her friend I'm saddened to see that she is going through a tough time right now.We are all human and we should never be quick to judge anyone. As my fans, I'm asking that you give her the benefit of the doubt as she goes through this difficult patch. Paula is in my thoughts and prayers. Much love – AMJ.

The Ridiculous

Of all the things to call a newborn child, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have opted, as is often the wont for celebrity couples, for ridiculousness : North West.

Charles Ramsey

Kudos to Charles Ramsey for turning down offers of free food after stepping forward to assist Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight in escaping years of captivity.
