Paula Deen FINALLY Gets Relief As Cookbook Sales Soar To #18 On Amazon! Fans Stand By The Southern Chef's Cooking[VIDEO]

The Paula Deen cookbook, "Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up" sales soar despite her racism scandal. And the Deen cookbook isn't even out until October!

Paula's cookbook sales soar from a ranking in the 1,500s on Monday to #18 on Wednesday on the online bookseller Amazon.com. The Paula Deen cookbook sales ranking is for ALL books, not just cookbooks.

Seems Paula Deen has gotten a little luck from sales of her cookbook despite getting dumped by her three biggest endorsement deals. This shows that fans are on Paula's side and still appreciate her down home cooking and wants to support the Paula Deen cookbook as the Amazon purchases soar.

The new Caesars termination makes this Paula Deen's third time fired from huge companies in a matter of days. After the food network fired Deen, the ball just kept rolling for the cooking queen.

The Food Network, which made Deen a star with "Paula's Home Cooking" in 2002 and later "Paula's Home Cooking" in 2008, fired Deen and weighed in with a terse statement Friday afternoon.

"Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month," the statement said. Network representatives declined further comment. A representative for Deen did not immediately return phone and email messages seeking comment on the decision.

Then Smithfield Foods cut ties with Deen and her name was dropped from the Pork company. Keira Lombardo, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communication said about Paula Deen's termination:

"Smithfield condemns the use of offensive and discriminatory language and behavior of any kind. Therefore, we are terminating our partnership with Paula Deen. Smithfield is determined to be an ethical food industry leader and it is important that our values and those of our spokespeople are properly aligned."

Smithfield Foods is $7.1 billion food company, as valued during a merger last month with Shuanghui International. According to their press materials, Smithfield is "the world's largest pork processor and hog producer." Deen had worked with Smithfield since September of 2006.

The news came as Deen worked to repair the damage to her image, which has spawned a vast empire of cookbooks, a bimonthly cooking magazine, a full line of cookware, food items like spices and even furniture.
