TV chef and author Paula Deen was startled, but not injured when someone accidentally hit her in the face with a ham at a charity event in Atlanta Monday.

The publicist told the magazine the 62-year-old Food Network star had been helping unload a truck-load of hams at the Hosea Feed the Hungry & Homeless event when someone tossed a ham, missed a storage bin and hit Deen in the head and nose.
"I think it might have hit maybe just right where, I thought it busted my lip, but it didn't," CBS' Atlanta affiliate WGCL-TV quoted Deen as saying on its Web site.
"I just got hit with a hog so what do I expect," she reportedly added with a laugh. "Ran head on to a hog."
