PAULA DEEN TELLS MATT LAUER SHE WOULD NOT HAVE FIRED HER - WATCH THE EMOTIONAL TODAY SHOW INTERVIEW: Drama and crocodile tears or a sincere apology? After initially skipping a scheduled interview with MATT LAUER last week, PAULA DEEN appeared on the Today show this morning.

Watch the full interview below:

Miley's mom, TISH, filed for divorce recently, but it's not known if Croman has anything to do with why.

Billy Ray and Tish, meanwhile, were snapped arm in arm yesterday while out with daughter Noah. (PHOTO)

PAULA DEEN'S SONS COME TO HER DEFENSE: PAULA DEEN'S sons Bobby and Jamie Deen are defending their mama,  telling CNN that their mother is not a racist. "Our mother is one of the most compassionate, good-hearted, empathetic people that you'd ever meet. These accusations are very hurtful to her, and it's very sad," said Bobby.

Jamie concurred that there's no way his parents could have been racist, because, just before he got his tonsils removed at the age of seven, they bought him the Hank Aaron PJs and expressed to him the struggles Hank faced in Major League Baseball because of his color. The controversy started after it came out Deen admitted to using the N-word in the past during a deposition for a sexual harassment case brought against her brother Bubba.

That riled RiRi up, who fired back in Instagram: “If you sincerely wanna help little girls more than their own parents do, here’s a toxic tip: don’t be amateur with your articles, you sound bitter! That s*** ain’t journalism! That’s a sad sloppy menopausal mess!!” She went on to say: “Role Model is not a position or title that I have ever campaigned for, so chill wit dat. I got my own f***ed up s*** to work on."

CHRIS BROWN HIT WITH TWO CRIMINAL COUNTS: When it rains, it pours for CHRIS BROWN. One day after being accused of assaulting a woman at an L.A. area night club, Brown  is in hot water again with the law. The Los Angeles City Attorney has filed two criminal charges against him stemming from a minor traffic accident last month.

Brown is reportedly facing counts of leaving the scene of an accident without exchanging the proper information and driving without a valid license. The new charges carry a maximum sentence of six months in jail, and the City Attorney’s office will likely refer the case to the District Attorney’s office as a possible violation of Brown’s parole connected to the infamous Rihanna incident.

Meanwhile ... Chris shot off a series of tweets yesterday lashing out at the female driver he rear-ended, while defending himself against the charges. He accused the woman of only making a stink in order to get a payday from him and promised, "My lawyers will be contacting you. I will not stand for this bullying and yellow journalism!" Minutes later, he followed that tweet up with the coupe de grace -- proof of his innocence!
