Famous Food

One Jack-in-the-Box employee got wound up a little too tight when dealing with an angry drive-thru customer -- whipping out her gun ... and firing as the customer fled.

This INSANE footage just surfaced as part of an ongoing lawsuit that a man named Anthony Ramos filed against the fast food chain -- all over a 2021 incident that Ramos says was caught on video showing a JITB worker firing bullets after she and Ramos got into it over curly fries.

Essentially ... Ramos says he and his family -- including his pregnant wife and young daughter -- swung by a Houston-area Jack-in-the-Box in March '21 and ordered a combo meal to go, but when he told the employees he was missing items, things escalated.

The back-and-forth arguing got so intense that Ramos apparently started to chuck some of the food back at the JITB drive-thru crew -- which spurred employee Alonniea Fantasia Ford to head back into the recesses of the restaurant ... only to return with a pistol in hand.

The surveillance footage Ramos and his legal team obtained in discovery seems to show Ford shooting at least a couple times at Ramos/his car -- which speeds away.

Luckily, it doesn't sound like anyone was hurt -- but Ramos and co. are now going after the Jack-in-the-Box ... alleging they were negligent in hiring Ford.

Alicia Keys is dipping her toes in the beverage game, but not booze ... the singer filed a trademark for her own lines of teas, and it seems to be inspired by a gift from Swizz Beatz.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Alicia's company, AK Worldwide, filed to lock up rights to the name, "Alicia Teas" for a line of teas -- an obvious pun on her own name that fits perfectly in the world of drinks.

And, here's the funny part -- it all seems based on a gift from her boo!

Swizz pulled out all the stops for AK's birthday in 2020, gifting Alicia her own personal line of teas ... something folks rarely get to unwrap on their big day.

Alicia Keys se está sumergiendo en el mundo de las bebidas, pero no precisamente del alcohol. La cantante ha presentado una solicitud de marca para su propia línea de té y parece estar inspirada en un regalo de Swizz Beatz.

De acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ la compañía de Alicia, AK Worldwide, solicitó los derechos del nombre, "Alicia Teas" para realizar una línea de té. un juego de palabras obvio en su propio nombre que encaja perfectamente en el mundo de las bebidas.

Y aquí está la parte interesante... ¡todo parece estar basado en un regalo de su novio!

Swizz se lució en el cumpleaños de Alicia en 2020 regalandole productos de su propia línea personal de té, un negocio en el que la gente rara vez se ve envuelta estos días.

Shannon Sharpe believes he was a pawn in Selena Gomez's game of hide and seek with the paparazzi ... laughing off his viral moment and playfully accusing the singer of using his celeb status to her advantage.

The Hall of Famer shared his side of Wednesday's infamous interaction outside Giorgio Baldi with former Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Johnson ... and he seems to think Selena's team concocted a master plan to make a mad dash to her car without getting captured by the cameras -- using Shannon as a distraction.

Sharpe reckons Selena's party realized he was famous at some point in the night ... so when he got up to leave, they followed right behind -- hoping the photogs would be too focused on the Broncos legend.

Of course, it only half-worked -- the guy interviewing Shannon bolted from their conversation mid-sentence to get a shot of Selena ... before eventually getting back to the ESPN host.

Shannon admits he doesn't know much about the former Disney actress ... but said had he known it was her at the time, he probably would've asked for a selfie anyway.

Shawn Mendes se enfrentó a una crisis mientras sacaba sus compras de la maleta, porque desafortunadamente, ¡¡se le cayeron al suelo!!

Había terminado una carrera al supermercado el jueves, cuando experimentó el percance. Se había vuelto a recoger las cosas de su Range Rover, cuando para su mala suerte, los artículos se cayeron uno tras otro, con la bolsa vaciada por completo.

Shawn, que todavía luce barba, hizo todo lo posible para atrapar la comida que caía, pero fue en vano. Todo se fue abajo, así como la puerta de entrada que se cerró ante él, posiblemente como guinda de la torta a este momento cómico perfecto.

Eventualmente, Shawn llegó a la parte delantera para recoger las patatas antes de regresar al interior con la comida que alcanzó a rescatar.

Shawn Mendes faced a produce catastrophe while unloading groceries at home ... because his food took a tumble right out the trunk!!!

He finished up a grocery run Thursday but experienced the mishap in his driveway when he went around back to grab the goods out of his Range Rover -- unlucky for him, the items came pouring out of his trunk, with the bag tipping over entirely.

Shawn, who's still rocking his beard, tried his best to catch the falling grub, but to no avail. It all went down as his driveway's gate closed on him ... with, arguably, perfect comedic timing.

Shawn eventually came around the front to pick up the rogue potatoes before heading back inside with the salvaged food.

Taylor Swift y Sophie Turner tienen algo más que Joe Jonas en común, se tienen la una a la otra, ¡¡¡porque acaban de salir por segunda vez en una semana!!!

Las ex de Joe fueron filmadas paseando dentro del Hotel Barriére Fouquet de Nueva York el jueves por la noche para pasar el rato con amigos. Todo esto, en medio del feo divorcio de Sophie con Joe.

Sophie estaba vestida con una camiseta blanca y una falda gris. Llegó primero para pasar la noche solo con Taylor, que, recordemos, salió con Joe durante unos meses en 2008.

Momentos después, la superestrella llegó en un todoterreno conducido por su chófer, con dos fornidos guardaespaldas para protegerla. Con un aspecto elegante y chic, Taylor salió de su coche y entró en el hotel con varios amigos detrás.

El martes, Taylor y Sophie fueron fotografiadas entrando del brazo al restaurante Via Carota para disfrutar de una cena al estilo italiano. Con la salida de anoche, podemos pensar que las dos se están convirtiendo rápidamente en mejores amigas.

Todo esto ocurre, mientras Sophie y Joe se pelean en el tribunal de divorcio, y ahora también en el tribunal federal. Como informamos, Sophie presentó una demanda contra Joe horas antes de su segundo encuentro con Taylor.

En la demanda, Sophie acusa a Joe de mantener ilegalmente a sus hijas en la Gran Manzana en lugar de permitirles regresar a Inglaterra con ella. Incluso citó una ley sobre sustracción de menores.

Joe negó categóricamente las acusaciones, diciendo que es Sophie quien ha cruzado la línea al intentar iolar una orden judicial de Florida que restringe a ambos padres el traslado de sus hijas.

Esa es la realidad ... Incluso si Joe y Sophie acordaron que se mudarían a Inglaterra cuando estaban juntos, ese acuerdo ya no es vinculante para el juez de divorcio. El objetivo del juez es velar por el mayor interés de las 2 niñas, con acuerdo o sin él.

Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner have more than just Joe Jonas in common ... they have each other ... because they just hit the town for the second time in a week together!!!

Joe's exes were filmed strolling inside NYC's Hotel Barriére Fouquet Thursday night to hang out with friends -- amid Sophie's ugly divorce to Joe.

Sophie, dressed casually in a white t-shirt and gray skirt, arrived first for a girls' night out take two with Taylor -- who once dated Joe for a few months in 2008.

Moments later, Taylor rolled up in an SUV driven by a chauffeur with two beefy bodyguards to protect her. Looking classy and chic, Taylor stepped out of her ride and sauntered inside the hotel with several pals following behind.

On Tuesday, Taylor and Sophie were photographed walking arm and arm into Via Carota restaurant for a sit-down dinner, Italian style. Coupled with last night's outing, the two are fast becoming BFFs.

All this comes as Sophie and Joe duke it out in divorce court -- and now federal court. As we reported ... Sophie filed a lawsuit against Joe hours before her second meet-up with Taylor.

In the suit, Sophie accused Joe of unlawfully keeping their children in the Big Apple instead of allowing them to return to England with her. She even cited a child abduction law.

Joe categorically denied the accusations, saying it's Sophie who has crossed the line by violating a Florida court order that restricts both parents from relocating their kids.

Here's the reality ... even if Joe and Sophie made a deal when they were together that they'd move to England, that deal is not binding on the divorce judge. The judge's North Star is what's in the best interests of the 2 kids -- deal or no deal.

Weeks ago, Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in Dade County, claiming their 4-year marriage was irretrievably broken and asking for joint custody of their 2 young daughters.

Do you think Sophie Turner is intentionally going out with Taylor Swift to get back at Joe Jonas? Vote below.

Uno de los mayores ajustes de Tory Lanez en la cárcel será en su intestino, pues en lugar de comer como una celebridad, se va a sentir más como un niño hurgando en su lonchera.

TMZ obtuvo el menú de la primera semana de Tory en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California, y nos enteramos de que ha estado despertando temprano para probar un poco de carne picada, huevos duros, cereales, leche y café para el desayuno.

Los almuerzos de Tory han consistido en galletas de mantequilla de maní, galletas crackers, bebidas sin azúcar y algunos sándwiches bastante simples... Estamos hablando de mortadela y mostaza en pan de trigo integral.

Por cierto, parece que los almuerzos se alternan entre sándwiches de mortadela o queso, también conocido como queso americano en el pan.

Y para la cena, Tory ha sido alimentado con cosas como salchichas calientes, verduras, ensalada de col, frijoles rojos, rollos y fruta enlatada.

TMZ dio la noticia, Tory fue ingresado en la prisión estatal este martes, un mes después de haber sido condenado a 10 años por descargar negligente un arma de fuego, asaltar con un arma de fuego semiautomática, y llevar un arma de fuego cargada y no registrada.

No estaba para nada contento en su foto policial... tal vez porque la superestrella ahora va a ganar alrededor de 30 centavos de dólar por hora de trabajo calificado mientras que esté en el interior.

One of Tory Lanez's biggest adjustments to prison is gonna be in his gut ... 'cause instead of eating like a celebrity, he's gonna feel more like a grade school kid digging into his lunchbox.

TMZ obtained the menu from Tory's first week at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA ... and he's been waking up in the morning to grab some beef hash, hard-boiled eggs, hot cereal, milk, and coffee for breakfast.

Tory's lunches have consisted of peanut butter crackers, sugar-free drinks, and some pretty plain sandwiches -- we're talking bologna and mustard on whole wheat bread.

BTW, it looks like the lunches alternate between bologna sandwiches or cheese sandwiches ... aka American cheese on bread. Yeah, it's giving real Fyre Fest vibes.

Dinner might be his best meal of the day ... as he's been getting things like hot link sausages, veggies, coleslaw, red beans, rolls, and canned fruit.

TMZ broke the story, Tory checked in to the state prison on Tuesday a month after being sentenced to 10 years for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

He wasn't all smiles in his mug shot, either ... as the hugely successful artist will now be making about 30 cents/hour for skilled labor while he's on the inside.

Jennifer Garner moved hearts this week after trying to give a homeless man the shoes off her feet -- unquestionably a sweet move, and one we've actually seen several celebs make during L.A.'s unprecedented crisis.

Lending a hand to people in need has actually been an ongoing tradition in Hollywood for years ... as we've seen some very famous faces recently demonstrate their generosity.

Take, for example, Denzel Washington ... who, just a few years ago, went out of his way to help an unsheltered man on the streets of L.A., this at the height of the pandemic in May 2020.

This gentleman was apparently having an episode in West Hollywood, and Denzel came over to comfort him as police eventually arrived and got a handle on things. Even while officers were talking to the man, DW stuck around and provided him comfort. It was quite something.

A year prior, Lil Pump was doing his own food giveaway just in time for the holidays ... handing out tons of corndogs to folks who were on the street and hungry.

BTW ... Pump was doing this on Skid Row in DTLA -- one of the most heavily populated areas for unhoused folks in the city.

Jeremy Renner, too, has proven to have a charitable spirit ... he once took his daughter with him to hand out jackets, blankets and food to homeless people in Reno, NV.

At the time, JR did this right around Thanksgiving -- setting a good example for his kid.

Speaking of Turkey Day ... it's become a little bit of a give-back pastime over the years for celebs to team up with the L.A. Mission to dish out hot meals to the needy. There've been several stars who've partaken in this ... Danny Trejo, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Hart and Lisa Rinna, just to name a few.

There's even been some community service from controversial A-listers, like Kanye West.

Before he was persona non grata in Hollywood -- as a result of antisemitic remarks he spewed last year -- the dude was prominently kind to people less fortunate.

There's that memorable time he was handing out cash and Yeezys to one homeless man, in particular, in his own home city of Chicago -- back before he and Adidas split up -- and you could tell it meant a lot to this fella that he was gifting them for free.

Jennifer Garner conmovió algunos corazones esta semana después de intentar quitarle los zapatos a un hombre sin hogar, y aunque fue un acto muy dulce de su parte, está lejos de ser la única estrella dispuesta a ayudar a los demás.

Darle una mano a las personas que más lo necesitan es en realidad una tradición en Hollywood desde hace algunos años. Solo recientemente, hemos visto algunas de las caras más famosas del negocio haciendo demostraciones notables de generosidad.

Tomemos, por ejemplo, a Denzel Washington que hace apenas unos años se desvió de su camino para ayudar a un hombre que estaba en las calles de Los Ángeles. Esto, en medio del apogeo de la pandemia en mayo de 2020.

Al parecer, este señor estaba teniendo un episodio en West Hollywood y Denzel se acercó a consolarlo mientras la policía llegaba a controlar la situación. Incluso, mientras los agentes hablaban con el hombre, el actor se quedó cerca a su lado y le proporcionó consuelo. Fue todo un acontecimiento.

Un año antes, Lil Pump hizo su propia donación de alimentos, justo a tiempo para las fiestas, compartiendo una tonelada de corndogs a la gente que estaba en la calle.

Por cierto, Bomba estaba haciendo esto en Skid Row en Downtown Los Angeles, una de las zonas con mayor población de personas sin hogar en la ciudad.

Jeremy Renner, también ha demostrado tener un espíritu caritativo. Una vez llevó a su hija con él para repartir chaquetas, mantas y alimentos a las personas en Reno, NV.

En esa oportunidad, era cerca de Acción de Gracias y quiso dar un buen ejemplo a su hijo.

Hablando del Día de Acción de Gracias, esta fecha se ha convertido un poco en pasatiempo de retribución para las celebridades en los últimos años, quienes se han unido para repartir comidas calientes a los necesitados. Han sido varias las estrellas que han participado en estas iniciativas: desde Danny Trejo, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Hart a Lisa Rinna, sólo para nombrar unos pocos.

Incluso ha habido polémicas entre los A-listers, como es el caso de Kanye West.

Antes de que fuera persona non grata en Hollywood, como resultado de los comentarios antisemitas que vomitó el año pasado, el tipo era en realidad bastante amable con las personas que eran menos afortunadas.

Es memorable la vez en que estuvo entregando dinero en efectivo y Yeezys a un hombre en su propia ciudad natal, en Chicago. Esto, antes de que él y Adidas se separaran, y se podría decir que significaba mucho para este hombre que estuviera regalando todo.

Kim Kardashian knows how to carry herself in front of paps who are snapping away, but it seems one of her sons is still learning the ropes ... or, maybe, he just thinks he's #1.

7-year-old Saint was walking into an Islands burger joint in L.A. Friday after his basketball game, accompanied by a couple of pals, plus his mom ... not to mention a bunch of bodyguards. Naturally, paparazzi were all over the place too.

As the whole group was heading toward the front entrance, Saint let the photogs on hand know how he felt about their presence ... throwing up a middle finger.

The sight of a little kid throwing up the F-U signal is pretty funny in and of itself, but the way KK reacts to Saint's gesture is even more hilarious, TBH.

Let's just say she's very much in mom mode ... softly trying to muzzle her kid and get him to behave -- but she's not going very hard. Perhaps he's telegraphing how she really feels!

Now, in terms of who exactly he's channeling between his 2 parents ... Saint's leaning into his Kanye genes here. We've seen Ye flip his lid at paps over the years. It's definitely funnier when the kid does it, though.

Do you think Kim Kardashian was actually angry about Saint West flipping off paparazzi, or was it just for the cameras? Vote below.

Kim Kardashian sabe cómo comportarse frente a los paparazzi, pero parece que uno de sus hijos todavía está aprendiendo o tal vez, sólo piensa que es el # 1.

Saint, de 7 años, entró en una hamburguesería de Islands en Los Ángeles el viernes después de su partido de baloncesto acompañado por un par de amigos, además de su madre (por no hablar de un grupo de guardaespaldas). Naturalmente los paparazzi también estaban por todas partes.

Cuando todo el grupo se dirigía a la entrada principal, Saint hizo saber a los fotógrafos lo que pensaba de su presencia... levantando el dedo del medio.

La imagen de un niño pequeño haciendo la señal de F-U es bastante divertida en sí misma, pero la forma en que Kim reacciona al gesto de Saint es aún más hilarante.

Digamos que está muy en modo mamá, intentando amordazar suavemente a su hijo y hacer que se comporte, pero no va muy fuerte.

Lance Bass might be looking to make some big business moves on the heels of the massive *NSYNC reunion ... by using one of the boy band's most famous phrases.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Lance wants to trademark the phrase "Dirty Pop" and slap it on a bunch of junk food ... like candy, chocolate and flavored popcorn.

Of course, the phrase is the opening line in *NSYNC's smash hit from way back in the day, "Pop"

The boy band reunited Tuesday for the first time in a decade, presenting an award at the MTV VMAs ... and fans have been going nuts ever since, so it seems like a perfect time for Lance and the guys to cash in.

The docs show Lance is also looking to trademark "Boy Band Wars" ... indicating he may want to use it for a potential TV series!!!

The guys are already capitalizing on all the *NSYNC buzz now that they are once again front and center in Hollywood ... rolling out a new single for Justin Timberlake's upcoming 'Trolls' movie.

In addition, Lance's company filed docs to secure the rights to "Frosted Tips" ... for a potential new podcast!!!

Here's the first video of Jonathan Majors playing the hero in real life ... getting right in the middle of an intense high school fight to break things up while several other people just watched.

TMZ obtained the video showing 2 female students trading serious blows Monday afternoon at Hollywood High School, which happens to be directly across the street from an In-N-Out ... and that's how Jonathan got involved.

The actor was grabbing lunch when he saw the girls, and decided to rush into the middle of the melee to rip the girls apart, urging them to calm down and telling them it isn't worth it to fight.

Majors is obviously a lot bigger than both of the combatants, but that doesn't slow them down, as they continued attacking each other even while he was in the middle. Eventually, he gets them fully pulled apart and gets the situation under control.

Unclear where school faculty was during the brawl, but it's a good thing Majors decided to step in. We're told after the video cut, both girls went their separate ways.

We spoke to Jonathan in West Hollywood hours after the fight, and he told us he just wanted to make sure those involved didn't get hurt, and hoped the girls were doing ok after what went down.
