TV Chef Paula Deen took a ham to the face this Thanksgiving weekend. The Food Network sweetheart was helping distribute food to the needy when she took a big fat ham right to the kisser. A report from Lynda Johnson notes, "Dean was helping to feed the hungry and as hams were being tossed down a relay line Monday morning, an eight-pounder whacked Deen in the face."
