Famous-infamous-famous chef Paula Deen has a non-cooking dilemma: What to name her new goldendoodle pup.

I just love my Goldendoodle Gus so much, I had to have another one! He just joined our family, so I need y'all's help to name him! Vote now to name him: http://goo.gl/QcoEQi

Deen, who drew fire and took heavy losses to her chef empire for making racially insensitive comments, has been on comeback road. Time will tell if an adorable doodlepup that, as Jezebel writer Rebecca Rose points out, looks exactly like Sam Elliiott, will help.
