Narrative:

Flight attendant #1 was informed before takeoff that the rightside oven was inoperative. While using the other oven; smoke began to bellow from the oven. He turned the oven off; called cockpit and pulled the circuit breaker; smoke continued to pour out of oven. Wall next to oven began to get hot. Cockpit decided to land aircraft at an enroute airport. Upon landing; firefighters entered galley and used extinguishers in oven. Passengers deplaned without incident. I was in the back and did not get that involved; although I could smell smoke upon landing. There was a haze in first class from the smoke.
