The evening will feature a lavish banquet. Mr. Sterling has hired famed celebrity chef Paula Deen to cater the affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure everyone is having a good time,\u201d explained Sterling. \u201cAll of the guests who are invited to my retirement dinner are important to me, so I would not want to let them go home hungry. I also would not want to skimp on the food by using one of those Chinese caterers who get all of their meat from alley cats. It would also be a shame to let the evening get dampened by Mexican food, since any and all of the workers they bring in could be deported at a moments notice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magic Johnson, who was personally mentioned in some of Sterling\u2019s remarks, is still not sure what to make of the situation. \u201cI always considered Donald Sterling a friend, so this is all just very surprising to me,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cIf nothing else, I\u2019m glad he hired Paula Deen. Maybe she can lead by example and teach him to be one of those sweet, old racists who just don\u2019t know any better instead of being a mean-spirited, cruel old dirtbag of a racist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For her part, Paula Deen just plans on doing the job to the best of her ability. \u201cI don\u2019t really care who hires me, y\u2019all,\u201d explained Paula. \u201cI just want to feed people and make them happy. Fat and happy. So I\u2019m thrilled to have this job. Especially since I was getting sick of the gig I had cooking for that cattle rancher guy who won\u2019t pay his grazing fees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though his choice of a caterer may have raised some questions, Sterling hopes the focus will remain on his retirement. \u201cI\u2019m sure I&#8217;m gonna have a retirement speech,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve got some academic Korean writing it for me right now. As far as Paula Deen, I think she is gonna make some great food, and she seems like a nice person. She\u2019s also extremely well spoken for a hillbilly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, CA&nbsp;&#8211; Donald Sterling has been making lavish plans for a retirement dinner following the release of taped racist remarks.
