Restaurant owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo have been getting a TON of publicity ever since Amy's Baking Company made an appearance on Kitchen Nightmares, but it's probably not the press they were hoping for!

When Gordon Ramsay swung by the small time eatery in Scottsdale, Arizona, he had such a hard time working with the owners that he WALKED OUT on them and completely refused to help out!

Well the episode eventually aired and websites like Facebook, Yelp, and Reddit ERUPTED with posts on the owners' erratic behavior, and Samy and Amy only made things worse when they responded to commenters with threats and ugly words that aren't exactly appropriate for virgin eyes!

Luckily, the two have found a few fans out there when

Coca-Cola is going to test out a new market… the mid-calorie soda market.

Mid-calorie sodas are soft drinks that have half the calories of regular soda. They use a mix of real sugar and artificial sweeteners.

This is probably coming after Pepsi launched

We're glad Paula Deen noticed that people aren't too happy about her decision to unveil her diabetes diagnosis ONLY after she was paid to do so, but whether or not she ever admits to being driven by greed, that's another story.

The Food Network star, who is the new spokeswoman for Novo Nordisk's diabetes drugs, is reportedly baffled by the lack of public support for her oh so brave decision to reveal her illness. Forget the public though, what really grinds her gears is that none of her famous food friends have supported her either.

Why no love for Paula? One top food publicist said this:

"The amount of chefs that would have come forward with public statements of support and sympathy would have been overwhelming if it wasn't for the fact that Paula hid her diagnosis for three years. To only tell the truth when you have locked in a paid spokesperson deal for a non-insulin medication is just too toxic for anyone to want to be involved with."

Yeah, exactly. Quite frankly, we're baffled as to why Paula (or any of her PR people) would expect others to get behind a decision to hide her diabetes while continuing to encourage her viewers to eat the same food that led to her health problem in the first place!

Here is the best quote that describes the situation. While PR agencies representing some of the biggest culinary stars today are remaining silent, one has said:

"So here's the deal, none of our chefs want to go on the record saying anything about her. However, I heard someone say it would be news if she didn't get diabetes. So I guess friend, butter is bad for you. Who knew?"

LOLz! Wow! It sounds like Paula's not getting any support for her questionable business strategy any time soon.

It's a second divorce in three months for Kris Humphries.

The basketball player is splitting up with his PR team, Anderson Group Public Relations, over a disagreement on how he wants his public image portrayed in the media.

The relationship lasted 73 days, one day longer than his marriage. Things started to go downhill after Kris' GMA appearance last month, in which the company wasn't too happy with the way he avoided questions about Kim and his marriage.

Kris has already moved on with a new PR firm in NY and is said to want to focus solely on basketball where he'll soon be forgotten. LOLz, JK.
