Food Network Star Paula Deen is Robbed!


Southern belle foodie Paula Deen was robbed of nearly $100,000 worth of jewelry and other items from her Savannah, Ga., home.



Reportedly, Deen's husband, Michael Groover, pointed the finger at his housekeeper, Mary Alice White. Police were called to investigate the matter, and, allegedly, the thefts occurred over a 10-month period.

According to some national media outlet reports, the estimated value of the items that were taken from Deen's home were more in the neighborhood of $10,000. The Savannah-Chatam police department, however, recently confirmed that the estimates of the items taken from the "Queen of Southern Cooking" amounted to about $100,000.

Fans are shocked that anyone would even think of robbing Deen, who is known for having a huge heart and being generous to a fault. Deen is also one of Michelle Obama's favorite celebrity cooks. The First Lady even appeared on Deen's Food Network Show, 'Paula's Party,' to girl-talk about the first meal she ever made for her husband, Barack, during the early stages of their courtship.

As for the robberies, Deen and her husband fired the housekeeper when they discovered the missing items. White was arrested last month and arraigned on charges of felony theft.
