Speaking of Chopped Canada, Dean is facing some trouble on that front. Because he is the host he must know something about cooking right? Well, some idiotic publisher paid the guy a $250K advance for a cookbook and according to TMZ he stiffed everyone who helped him with the book. So far TMZ has found people owed about $60K who helped on the book. That money has to be paid by Dean. I'm sure he thinks he can probably pay them out of the profits of the cookbook but it is going to take a long time, if ever before the book earns back enough money to pay everyone. I just don't see the demand for the book. Are you going to rush out and buy a cookbook featuring Dean? Is that something you want people to see on your shelves? The reason the show is popular in Canada is the same reason it is popular here. The format. I love Ted Allen but I don't watch Chopped because of him. At least if he wrote a cookbook though I would believe he actually made the recipes in the book. You know, because he has been a chef rather than a failed made for television movie actor.
Chopped is a good place for him as in chopping up his balls.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Tori Spelling hired the ghostwriter for his cookbook.
ReplyDeleteDoes this show play in the U.S.? Is it on AirCanada or something, because I've never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteSex addiction therapy hasn't worked for Michael Douglas, David Duchovny or any of the others, so Dean better kiss the Spelling fortune "good-bye."
Agree with my friend henriette. His sex rehab is all smoke and mirrors.
DeleteYou said: "I love Ted Allen but I don't watch Chopped because of him."
ReplyDeleteYeah, that makes a lot of sense.
It does actually make sense. I watch Choppped for Aaron Sanchez, enty watches cause he likes the format. Ted Allen is a decent host but hes not why we watch the show. Get it?
DeleteTed Allen does have a cookbook. I don't think it's in publication right now but that's the reason he was chosen to be the chef on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. A friend of mine loves her copy.
ReplyDeleteI was get this trick confused with Dylan McDermott and thought he was the sex addict, which would makes sense he's so fine and women throw it at him.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the "celebrity" judge line up for this show and knew none of them.
ReplyDeleteA friend of a friend worked and dated Dean years ago in Canada. She said he was an opportunist and creep, everyone who worked with him knew that. He said he planned on making it in the business, basically by wooing a celeb...years later, he did.
ReplyDeleteI bet his ex-wife is laughing her @ss off right about now. After adopting her daughter, and he just up and leaves them for Tory. Then Tory making fun of the ex for not being able to have children naturally. Tory deserves everything that's coming to her. That's what you get when you steal a married man away from his wife. Leanne will discover that soon enough.
When will people ever learn...once a cheater, always a cheater. A leopard doesn't change his spots.
@surfer I think a comma is simply missing from the sentence. I think Enty meant "I love Ted Allen, but, I still don't watch Chopped just because I love Ted Allen". Oy. Something like that.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, my sons and I have been watching Chopped in the US for years. It keeps them away (for an hour at least) from the raunchy shows and they actually all love to cook now.
Ding ding ding! What Crila16 said.
ReplyDeleteUggh!! I can't believe I rooted for this guy on Celebrity Cook Off.
Ya'll all know his ex-wife was a professional chef, right? He probably stole all of the recipes from her. What a POS
Ugh...Dean has that bloated alcoholic moon face, which has made his eyes squinty. Life is not aging him well. His ex wife, Mary Jo Eustace co-hosted a very funny cooking show back in the day, out of Toronto, with her gay BBF. I can totally see Dean ripping off MJ recipes - I don't think he has many ideas that are his own. I hope he and Tori stay in their purgatory. And any chick who admits to ewing Dean, will make her momma cry. Super cooties.
ReplyDeleteIt's called not keeping your dick in your pants.
ReplyDeleteI always confuse this relationship with Leann and her golddigger. I couldn't figure out what a chopped Canada was until I read the comments.
ReplyDeleteI just made Ted's parmesan coated sour cream chicken breasts. Super easy and very tasty.
Now I understand why Tori got screwed on her inheritance. I bet Candy and Aaron did some research on this dipshit and said hell to the no. Creep.
ReplyDeleteYou really think T would keep him on board if he was cheating? Nah!! They know exactly what's going on...trust me.
ReplyDeleteThis asshole better not screw up Chopped Canada- my husband has a call back at the end of the month.
ReplyDelete@urban chaos - go him! Good luck! :-)
DeleteI watched him on that Guy and Rachel Celebrity cook-off, he was actually likable and charming. I think it is his wife who is vapid and disgusting. He cheats, she knows and doesn't care. She just gets mad when he gets caught. Then he has to sleep in the pool house.
ReplyDeleteI struggle to understand why Tori feel for this douche - without intending to sound completely shallow, he's not even good looking. Not even when they wed. Charlie Shanihan (Tori's ex-husband) was FAR better looking! And a nice man, too ... even to this day, when he refuses to comment on what's happening in Tori's life. So even if we think 'Hmmmm she likes the bad boys' ... still doesn't stack up. He's a whiney, moaney idiot ... so no, I really can't understand what she ever saw in him.
ReplyDeleteTed Allen came out w/a cookbook earlier this year and I went to a cooking session that he had in NYC. He definitely is a chef enty!
ReplyDeleteIt's a publicity stunt!
ReplyDeleteIt's a publicity stunt!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking like a publicity stunt. I don't think Tori's latest book did that well. I know she didn't get the money from her dad she was hoping for, but shouldn't residuals from 90210 support her nicely?
