PPAS04E06 DivaParty WEB

Hey, y'all, tonight on Paula's Party

I'm tapping into my inner goddess with a diva party. Some divas, Susan Lucci, slaps together

a lobster club sandwich and pink potato salad. And then we're sparing no expense when money diva Suzy Orman

makes a beef wellington. That's beautiful. And the fabulous RuPaul with brownie bites and cherry mousse

Let them have it, Paula, diva. I want y'all to put on your tiaras out there and let's party

Boys, easy babies

Hello, y'all I will do anything for a dollar, y'all

Any requests from the men. So, how are y'all? Are y'all ready to party

In case y'all hadn't figured it out, today's show is all about divas

We're paying tribute to some of the greatest divas that are on TV today

And I can't wait to get to my first guest because I know y'all all feel like this woman is your best friend

Because she has been on TV and in our homes for 38 years on All My Children

The beautiful, the talented, Susan Lucci! Oh, my goodness

Oh, my goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, my goodness

Hi, everybody. I'm so happy to meet you. Oh, I'm so happy to meet you

Thank you. Go McQueen. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. Well, you had the best entrance in the world

but Diva Erica Kane had to come out somewhere good. You know what? Why didn't they bring me out that way

Well, you came out in a whole divan. I did. It took four of them, honey, to lift me

I am so happy to meet you. Unlike you, you must weigh like 85 or 90 pounds

You're so tiny. Yeah, but I want some good Southern cooking, so I came to the right place

You know, I can put some meat on your bones today. Okay, then. But you know what

Before we do that, Susan, you know that women from one side of this country

to the other, just love you. Thank you. You know, you're like everything

You're so smart, and you're seductive, and you've got the answer for everything

Oh, thank you, but not for cooking, Paula. The last time Erica King cooked, she burned down the kitchen

Oh, no. Well, I will help you solve some of your cooking issues, Susan

I'm going to make you, because you're so beautiful and so elegant

you know, I couldn't fix you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You could fix me anything, Paula Deen

I'm so thrilled to do this with you. Oh, I'm the thrilled one, honey. I'm going to make you a lobster club with a pink potato salad

Great. Are you afraid of frying? No. Okay, good, because I'm going to put you in charge of frying these potatoes

Okay. Now we've got to... So just put them in the mouth? Just slip them down there and they don't burn yourself. Okay

Just... There you go. Oh, they're frying right up. They're frying right up

Listen, this is a first-class show. Our grease is hot. All right, now, just give your taters a little shake every now and again and lift them up

Now, these are not part-cooked. We're starting with raw potatoes. And in our bowl, I'm going to mix up

Let's see, what am I going to mix? I think you've got to have mayonnaise for Potato Sally, don't you? Definitely

And a little mustard. So talk to me now. Tell me everything that's up

I know you've got your own wax figure now. I do. That's a big deal

Yeah. They unveiled the wax figure very recently here in New York

Lemon juice and mustard. And it was very exciting. I mean, I know that it's a big honor

I mean, it's very strange, too, to see yourself life-size. I bet it is

And they say they're so real-looking. They're very real-looking. And I was amazed at how real-looking they got it because they somehow put life in the eyes

I don't know how they do that, not just on mine but on everybody's. Well, I heard the sitting is actually like two hours long

It is two hours long. They put me on a turntable for two hours

They put black dots all over me and turned me on a turntable in increments like this

Uh-uh. And took pictures of every angle you can imagine. You are kidding me. There was another artist there with a tray of teeth, and then they came out and held them up

and there was another artist there with a tray of eyeballs. And they came up and matched that, and they were all standing there

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And there was an artist there who was mixing, mixing, mixing

and she was doing the skin tone, and she'd come up and do a little patch test

Are these potatoes okay? Oh, yeah, they're all right. Just another couple of minutes for those

All right, now I've added diced canned beech, y'all, purple onions, fresh parsley

and now I'm going to add some pepper and some salt, and I'm going to start sneezing from that pepper

Y'all, we got to take a real, real quick break. When we come back, our potatoes will be done

And I'm throwing together this beautiful pink potato salad just for my special diva girlfriend, Susan Lucci, everybody

Next, a Lobster Club sandwich with potato salad and a soap opera surprise

Oh, my God! And later, I'm going to be dishing up Beef Wellington with Money Diva Susie Orman

Welcome back, everybody. Today we're paying tribute to some of the most fabulous divas that we've had the pleasure of knowing over the years

and Susan Lucci is like the queen of daytime divas. And I am so thrilled to meet her

And I'm in my kitchen cooking for Susan Lucci, y'all. And she so happy to be in the kitchen with Paula D Learning how to and thrill Honey listen I see you let yourself go So I going to help get that figure back in shape by making you pink potato salad

Fantastic. All right, honey, our potatoes are ready. Spill them out on here

No, you don't have to. You can just kind of sit them right there. Okay. I have mixed everything together for us

I've got mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a little lemon juice, purple onions, diced beets, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper

So all you have to do now is take those wonderful potatoes that you just cooked

and throw them in here with our beets. Right in here? Right in there. Okay

Now, over the years on All My Children, your character has been married how many times

Well, I went into double digits last year. But I've loved this man a long time

Jack Montgomery and Erica Kane, I've been married ten times. Ten times

Yes. But I was married to his brother before. Oh, you were? Well, in ten marriages, Susan, that means that there's been a lot of fussing and fighting and probably slapping going on

There was a good deal of slapping going on, yes. Well, I would love, and I know everybody would love, you teaching us how to just cold cock your man

I think I can do that. Doesn't all the girls want to know? Look

And what is this called? And cold cock your man? Cold cocking, baby

Cold cocking. Like knock him into next week. Okay. And we've got to volunteer

Okay, then. There's another one. All right. Wait, wait, wait. I got to get my potato salad dipped up

Okay. Potato salad's great. Show us how you were trained. Well, it comes from an emotional place because he just said..

Frankly, my dear, I just don't give a damn. That was wonderful

Would you like to take my place? I would so love to do it. You be Erica Kane now

Okay, so now he's going to tell you something you don't want to hear. You're going to wind up..

You can say anything you want to, but if he calls me fat, I'm going to whip his throat

And also, always maintain eye contact. You trust each other because he trusts that you're not going to actually make contact

But you're going to wind up and follow through. Okay? He's going to tell you something you don't want to hear

Paula, I hate Southern cooking. We're so good! That was great

That was good, wasn't it? That was really good. You're such a pro. All right, now let's see

What are we going to do next? Oh, we're going to make us our lobster club sandwich

So we're going to mix a little mayonnaise. So you just go ahead, darling. Mix the mayonnaise

Take your mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix it together. In this bowl? In that bowl

So I put the mayonnaise in first? It doesn't matter any way you want to do it. I'm just so happy to learn to do this

My husband is a fantastic cook. He was a professional chef. And I want to teach him

And, you know, I want to surprise him sometimes and make something that he didn't teach me

So southern cooking, my husband's from Austria. So American southern cooking is something that I can do now

Honey, I hate to tell you, but some girls don't have to know how to cook

And you are definitely one of them. Thank you. All right, now over here

Is that good mixing? That's perfect. Okay. That's perfect mixing. All right, now over here we have some lobster

Okay. Yummy. We have got some green onion tops, and we've got parsley

So just pour your sauce, about half of it, on your lobster

All right, because we're going to need some of this, just give that a toss

Give this a toss. This looks beautiful. What kind of parsley is that

It's just a flat leaf. Flat leaf parsley. Mm-hmm. Love flat leaf

Me too. I grow so many of these things in my own garden. How wonderful

All right. Okay. Now we're going to take our bread, and we're going to take our extra sauce

and just pour a little bit on our bread. Actually pour it

Just pour it because it's kind of thin from our vinegar. Mm-hmm. I love how you use all these real ingredients

I love when you use sticks of butter and real mayonnaise. I do, too

That's great. Because, you know, I don't like feeling deprived, Susan. No, because then you're cranky, and nobody can't

Here's how thin you are. There you go. I have met some of your fellow soap opera stars before

And, you know, they told me that the memorization that you have to do for a soap opera is unbelievable

That is something that comes into it. It's true. I can't imagine

But I have a surprise for you, Paula. I love surprises. Let me wipe my hands. Okay

What is that? Well, you just mentioned about memorizing as an actor on All My Children

and I want to just welcome you to have a part on All My Children

Oh, my God! Dear Miss Paula Deen, on behalf of the producers of ABC Television

you are cordially invited to be our special guest on an episode of All My Children

Sounds like great. I would adore it. Oh, we'd adore to have you here. You're sure you're not kidding me

I'm not kidding you at all. Oh, my goodness, this is for real. This is for real

I hope I'm out of jail at that point. I hope we get to play. Because I have to do a scene with you

Yes. Oh, look, I'm so excited. I was putting our sandwiches together without finishing

But look how gorgeous they are. A little arugula. A little tomato. A little bacon

Okay. Oh, Susan, and will I get to be in a scene with you

Yes. I can be like the jailhouse cook. And I can come and serve you

Oh, you're so welcome. Oh, gosh. Well, uh-oh, now look, I'm screwing all up

I am going to do... Oh, look at my bread. Look at our bread

It still tastes really good. It tastes wonderful. And look at that potato salad

Oh, thank you. All right, taste your potato salad. Okay. And here, I'll help you with this messy sandwich

Okay, which... Just eat this. Uh-huh, just eat it. Mmm. Is it good

That's amazing. Wait, I didn't give you any bacon. Mmm. I am shaking

I'm gonna be a soap opera star. You are. Don't go anywhere

because I've got some more divas for y'all to meet. The wonderful Susan Lucci from All of My Children

Next up, financial diva Susie Orman and a beef wellington that's on the money, y'all

Y'all, welcome back. Today we celebrating the divas in our life And this next woman y she our money diva We love this girl She has got six New York Times best books

She's got her own show. She's beautiful. She's smart. She's sexy. She's Susie Ormond

Come on out. Thank you. I'm telling you. Hello, my dear friend

Hello, my friend. It's us. It's us. Can you believe it? I can't believe it

We pass in the hallways. I know. I was. He had to walk me out

He had to walk me out. He couldn't carry me out like he did. That little Suzy Lucha thing

Why do you think I felt, Suzy? I took four. No, but he comes up to me

To bring me out. He says to me, I can do it. I say, I don't think so. I don't think so

What a brilliant woman this is. The money diva, Susie Orman. I'm going to be cooking up something very special for you today

I'm making beef wellington, honey. Can we make it rare? Is that good

I like my steak. Look, we just seared this at medium-high heat

I like it cold to the touch. My husband says that he likes his steak where a good veterinarian can fix it

Yeah, yeah. He likes his meat so rare. I like it black and blue

You know what that means, everybody? Black and blue, yes. Yes. But you know what? That allows all the great flavor

If you overcook a steak, you know, just throw it away. Order a hamburger

All right, now, I've got you some garlic. I've got you some mushrooms. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got you some onions, and I've got you a little sherry

So all we're going to do, honey, do you cook? What do I look like

Well, now listen. Listen, I found out that you originally wanted to be in the restaurant business

I did. But I wanted to be a fast order cook. You know, eggs, potatoes, things like that

Well, thank goodness you took a nap and got over that. Because you have been most successful at what you do

But it's because I wanted to have my own restaurant that I am who I am today

You know that story, right? Throw that onion in there. These things are soft

I know they're soft. Watch this. Don't you love them? That's to do this so we don't waste one thing

Because today with the price of food, you need everything. Can you believe it

Oh, my goodness. Food is really going up. And for those of us that are in the restaurant business, all right, dump your mushrooms

And I'm going to turn down our heat a little bit. How come this one doesn't flip open? Well, that's just hard

That's just a hard one. I got it. And those are soft. and I've got us some fresh oysters right here

because we're going to top our Wellington with oysters. They are oysters

Yes, with oysters. At first I thought it was you. I wasn't going to say anything

Listen, listen, I was sweating. I was sweating like a fat girl writing her first love letter

when those men put me on that thing. All right, now we're going to take our oysters, Yeah

Throw them over in there. We're going to just saute these until they're opaque, y'all

We don't want to overcook them because our Wellington is going to be going back in the oven, Susie

So tell us what to do. Give us some tips on things that we can do that can help us

You know, while money's kind of, hmm. Well, you might not want to eat steak

No, I'm not kidding. Because let me tell you something about meat. The price of meat is going to be going up, everybody

You know why? This is true. The price of wheat and everything in the grate to feed these cows, it's too expensive now

So what does that mean for you for the price of meat? So it's like kind of a vicious circle

Yeah, so it's like we're going to enjoy this right now. Well, you know, that means we're going to have to go fishing more

And things like that. Grow things in your garden. I know. Macaroni and cheese

Your favorite. You know what? That's so funny that you said that. I grow macaroni in my garden

I grow cheese in mine. You do? No. All right. So we've got this done, and we're going to take a quick break

because speaking of money, we got to pay the piper. We're going to put all this into our food processor

We're going to blend it up good, and then we're going to put this together

Nobody goes anywhere, because Susie's got some wonderful things to tell us

I'm here with divas. today, Sissy Orman. Coming up, y'all, Susie and I are gonna be investing

in beef wellington, and later, fudge brownie bites with the queen of all divas

RuPaul, y'all. Attitude. Hey, y'all, we're back

I've got a fabulous woman standing up here next to me. She is the diva of money, Suzy Orman

And I'm making her a fabulous dish. I'm making her beef wellington with an oyster pate on top

What's that you put in? All right, just a few breadcrumbs to kind of tighten it up

All right, mash that button. Just that easily it's done. All right, so we're just going to pour this into our cheesecloth and let it drain

And while we're doing that, I want you to tell everybody what

You having trouble there? We need that man back. It's great having a man around the house, isn't it

I wouldn't know. For things like that. All right, we're going to let that drain in our cheesecloth

and we're going to come over here. I've got to swap out. But I want you to tell everybody the journey that got you where you are

Because, as I said, she wanted to be in the restaurant business. So slide on down, you cute thing

Don't step on your bower. You put it up on that cute thing

You don't have a bower. Thank you. There you go. Oh, sweet. All right

Tell us your story. So my real story starts actually with my papa

You'll love this one. So when I was little, I was growing up, we didn't have a lot of money, and my papa always had a little restaurant, tiny little things

Danny. And so he sold his sandwiches. He had like corned beef sandwiches and things like that

So here I am, downtown Chicago. I'm from Chicago, everybody. And they're selling these sandwiches for twice the amount of money my papa sold for

So I come home, I go, Dad, I can solve our money problems. He goes, well, Susie

I go, you just got to double your prices. And he said to me, Susie, it's better to have 50% of something than 100% of nothing

And for that, I've lived my whole life like that now. That's exactly right, honey

Yeah. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. You got that

So then, after four years of not graduating from the University of Illinois, because I wasn't smart enough to graduate

Okay Borrow money from my brother to buy a van head out to Berkeley California live in that van for four months on the street until Yeah it because I didn have the money for a first and last You lived in a van Yeah for four months Oh my God

Where did you bathe? You don't want to know. You should not ask personal questions like that while we're cooking

So here I am. And then, to make a long story short, I get my dream job, a waitress at the Buttercup Bakery until I was 30 years of age

until some people I had been waiting on for all those years gave me $50,000 to start my own restaurant

So for seven years, that was my dream, is to do this. No, but to be a short order kick and do it

And then I took it to a brokerage firm because they told me to, and within three months they lost all $50,000

Oh, no, but don't be sad, everybody, because that's why I am who I am today. Absolutely

Every time a door shuts, another one opens. Another one opens. And this one opens

That's absolutely the truth. Because I thought, I could be a broker. They just make you broker. Many of you are experiencing that right now, aren't you

You are a very smart woman. And, of course, I tune you in to listen to your money advice

Do you watch my Cannot Afford It segment? Denied. You cannot afford that piece of steak

Are you tight, Susie? No, actually, I wish I were. Oh, you mean financially or my body

Are you money? Oh, I can look at you and tell you. No, I feel it's not

But, no, money-wise. All right. Now, we have put our... What is this

Dough, dough? This is our dough. So we're using a frozen puff pastry for our beef wellington

And we're just going to seal this up. Do you always wear diamonds when you cook

I always do, honey, because I'm afraid that I will lose them

Oh, I got that one. I'm afraid that I will lose them if I take them off. I'd rather have them on my hands dirty than in someone else's pocket clean

All right, so look at our pretty dough. You want me to do this on you? Yes, I want you

Now, normally I would do this with an egg, Susie. But since you're allergic to eggs

I'm allergic to eggs. Can you believe that one? We're going to brush it with heavy cream

And that's going to give our crust a beautiful sheen to it

And we had some extra dough. And you can take little cookie cutters and cut out little designer pieces

We should have done them in dollar signs. Why didn't we think about that? I have

What does it matter with you? But it's okay. We should have. I'm so sorry

I'm not all that smart. That's okay. Somehow I think you are

Don't stop it. Just wet it a little bit. A little bit, okay

All right, now we're going to take these. Oh, I love that idea. That's why they should be dollar signs

So what is the name of your book? Women and Money. It's been out about a year

It has. Still on the New York Times bestseller list. I was probably 45 years old, y'all, before I realized that I was as capable of earning money as a man

You know, all I had to do was take responsibility for myself

But that's not the problem. All these women in this room can earn money better than men

Here's the problem. No, wait, wait. Here's the problem. Look at those men sitting there looking at you like they could

They know I love them. These men know I love them because they have it right when it comes to money

The difference is what you did with the money that you earned versus what a man does with the money that he earns

You give it away. We spend it differently. You take care of your kids. You take care of your family

You take care of your parents. And then in the end, you're like, where did it all go

Where did it all go, everybody? A man knows very well that he's got to take care of it because it's okay to say no

You don't have to say yes and lend your money to somebody that you don't want to lend it to

Now, we're going to put this in the oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes until it's nice and brown

And we don't want to overcook it because Susie likes her steak rare

I like my meat raw. So we're going to just put this in the oven. And in Paula World, you're going to love Paula World

It's done. It's done. Oh! Oh! Look how beautiful this is

All right. And it's warm. So let's cut you off a piece

And you know what? I'm going to go to the center because sometimes the ends are more done than the center

So I want to make sure that you have a piece of as rare as I can get you

You have a thumb ring on. I do. Why? My son put that on me, Jamie

Yeah? Put that on me 20 years ago. I had it on my finger

Look at this, Susie. That is beautiful. Now, that's beautiful. Isn't that beautiful

Probably a little dunner than you would like. No, I like that. But you see, I didn't really know that you liked your meat rare

Yeah, black and blue. But my son put this ring on me. I had put it on this finger, and he came home from school

He said, Mama, what's on your finger? I said, well, a ring that your daddy found on a key ring on a traded-in car

And I said, I just hated it to go to waste. And he said, well, it is so not cool there

So he took it off, put it on my thumb, and I've had it on ever since. All right, so dig in, honey

The middle of it? Yes. All right, are we ready? Wait, let's feed each other. Okay

Okay, got it? Oh, good. I've got a bigger piece of meat than you. Oh, my goodness

You did it. Don't go anywhere, y'all, because I've got one more diva

Susie Orman, everybody. Thank you, lady. Next, Glamazon RuPaul works her magic on brownie bites with Cherry Moose

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, what about the divas? Have y'all loved them? Yes

Well, I want you to hang on to your seat, because we have got the finale diva of all times

This person is a model, a singer, an actor, the queen of all divas

I can hardly wait. Come on out, RuPaul. Hi. Oh, baby

Oh, we finally get to meet. The diva kiss. Oh, my God

This whole thing. They'll arrest you in certain states for this, you know

Y'all, this is a man. It's a man. Hi, baby. Oh, hey, Rue

You are just scrumptious. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. You look gorgeous. Look how pretty you are

Well, thank you. I'm a little dumpy next to you. No, no, never

And I love your eyelashes. You're beautiful. Well, that's what people say

You know what? I am just, I'm just like everybody else. I just have the natural ability to accessorize

Yes, you do. I wish my waist was that tiny. Honey, listen, we can get your waist as tiny

I tell you, there's a whole system of pulleys and lifts going on here that you don't even want to know about

Oh, I thought I had mine on, but it ain't doing to me what that's doing to you

You know what? What's that? I'm making something just special for you, Ruth

I'm making you a fudge brownie bite with cherry mousse. Doesn't that sound delicious

I love it. Do you like to eat? I love to eat. Do you love to cook? I love, well, I don't love to cook, but I love to eat

So this is going to be a really good treat for me. Do you diet

Well, just a little bit, you know. It's just part of the whole thing. All right, Rue

Excuse me, honey. I've got some plain gelatin here, and I'm going to mix it with four tablespoons of water and just let it bloom

Four tablespoons? I can't count. That's the hardest. Oh, that's all right. Four tablespoons of water and gelatin

Yes. You know, had I been smart, I would have changed my name

Because, you know, they charge me more for insurance because they know it's my name

It's my real name on my driver's license. Oh, yeah. So they charge you more because they think people are going to, you know, sue you or something

We want to start over here. Look at that body. Now, listen, Paula, it's all about between your ears, and that's for everybody out there

All the attitude comes from between your ears. So you start there, and the body will follow. Are you ready

attitude. Let them have it. Paula, Dean, let them have it. Look at my shoes, y'all. Those are gorgeous

Aren't these slippers beautiful? These are the shoes I got married in

This is what you're going to do. Pretend you're going to Michael again, the sequel. That's how

I was going to say, you couldn't eat much. Well, you know what I do, Paula? I do that summer sizing

You know, that food combining. Oh, okay. I was just looking. That food combining thing that they did in the 70s, Fit for Life, remember that

Well, I do that, and it's food combining where you don't mix certain things

You can eat everything. What would you eat, say, for dinner? For dinner, I'd have a salad or some vegetables and some fish or a piece of meat

That sounds very sensible. Yeah, and I can splurge every once in a while

Once I hit my goal weight, it's not really even about weight

It's about feeling good. It's about feeling like a diva, the diva that you are

You know what? And I have to tell you, I'm probably the biggest that I've ever been in my whole life
