NEW YORK
Celebrity cook Paula Deen was a no-show Friday at the "Today" show, where she was scheduled to appear to answer questions about past use of racial slurs.
"Today" host Matt Lauer told viewers he had spoken with Deen the day before to arrange what NBC had promoted as an exclusive, live appearance.
But shortly before the show went on the air Friday, Lauer said he was told by a Deen representative that she was pulling out.
Phone calls from The Associated Press to a representative for Deen weren't immediately returned.

Nothing she says now, will "help" her.. She's done.
Her whole schtick was down-home-friendly Momma...and her own words have undone her image.

(34,108 posts)understandably will like her even less.
Will be interesting to see how much of an actual problem it turns out to be for her.
