Things just seem to get worse for former Food Network darling Paula Deen.  After admitting use of “racial slurs” in the past, the kitchen queen has been the recipient of a royal backlash – one that saw her dropped from Food Network (her TV home of over a decade) and other endorsement deals.

Now, retail giant Wal-mart adds their name to that growing list (via HuffPost):

“Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is announcing that it has ended its relationship with Paula Deen a week after the Southern celebrity chef admitted using racial slurs in the past.  The world’s largest retailer said it will not place ‘any new orders beyond what’s already committed.’  The discounter says it will work with suppliers on existing inventories.’

The announcement was accompanied by news that Caesar Entertainment – the restaurant brand behind many of Deen’s well-known buffets inside casinos – will also be ending their relationship with the cooking starlet.  Read more about that here.

All of this comes just hours after Deen’s tearful apology on ABC’s ‘Today Show’ regarding the matter.  See it here.

Today, in what also sees us celebrate one of our heros Nelson Mandela, we unearth footage pulled from 2003’s ‘46664’ concert, named after the prison number Mandela was given when he imprisoned in 1964 and launched to spread awareness for HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

She’s the charismatic Female MC with an army of loyal supporters and a UK smash hit single to her name. Unfortunately, that smash hit single wasn’t enough to silence the controversy brewing around the Australian star…thanks to messages she allegedly posted two years ago on the social networking site Twitter.
