Actress Paula Patton covers the November 2011 issue of JEZEBEL magazine, which is based out of Atlanta. Patton, 35, is in heavy demand these days due to her coveted role as a beautiful secret spy in the action thriller Mission: Impossible, Ghost Protocol, starring Tom Cruise.
Patton says she didn’t have much confidence in snagging the plum role. So when she was called in to audition, she told the producers, “Come on, guys, don’t waste my time!”
The film hits theaters Dec. 15. The ‘Precious’ star is well-known in the black community, but this role is expected to place her squarely on Hollywood’s A-list.
Despite her many successes, Patton, who is married to R&B singer Robin Thicke, and has a toddler, Julian; reveals she prefers living in a fantasy world, because she “doesn’t like reality very much.”
This seems strange coming from a woman who, on the outside, seems to have everything. “I love my son; I love my husband; and then I want to take them into my dream world,” she told JEZEBEL.
“My dream is Paris, and good food, and beautiful sunsets, and no worries, and no stress and life floating on a cloud!”
JEZEBEL magazine’s Nov. 2011 issue featuring the 50 Most Beautiful Atlantans is on newsstands now!

________________________________
I do this Paula Deen one in the crockpot, but I don’t get down with all that butter lie she do. This time I used penne noodles because that’s what I had on hand. Yummy. I also let it cook 1.5 hr instead of 3:
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn’t quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
