22.38 GMT: Brazil legend Ronaldo thinks Santos starlet Neymar needs to leave South America to fulfil his potential. "Neymar cannot just reach Messi - he can be better,” he said. “He has too much talent to stay only in Brazil. He is a talent that we have to export and allow him to dominate the world, to own it playing the game that he does. The prestige and competition in European football is massive."

22.12 GMT: Harry Redknapp says Roman Pavlyuchenko will have to stay at Spurs unless they can find a replacement. “He probably wants to leave, but we can't sell him unless we can find someone who we think could make the difference to us,” he said. “It's no good getting rid of Pav if you can't replace him.

Paula Deen Announces Diabetes Diagnosis, Justifies Pharma ...

To do just that. Oh, and she also announced her partnership with drug company Novo Nordisk, who manufactures a diabetes drug you will find named in every single article written about the news. What serendipitous timing for a rumored multi-million dollar sponsorship deal.

Deen told Al Roker that she's known about the diagnosis for three years . And today she launched he new sponsored " Diabetes in a New Light " program with Novo Nordisk, who Deen says approached her to create some diabetes-friendly recipes before knowing of her diagnosis. She will also be appearing in ads for their diabetes drug with her sons, Jamie and Bobby.

So now Paula Deen the Butter Queen is shilling for a drug company that treats a disease caused by an unhealthy diet that she has developed. Or, as Anthony Bourdain told Eater , "When your signature dish is hamburger in between a doughnut, and you've been cheerfully selling this stuff knowing all along that you've got Type 2 Diabetes... It's in bad taste if nothing else ."

She doesn't say she was waiting on a lucrative drugs partnership to announce her diagnosis, though.
