Eminem posts to social media on rare occasions and there now appears to be a clear-cut explanation ... Slim Shady still uses his freakin' BlackBerry!!!

On Thursday, DJ Whoo Kid posted a flick of him, Em and D12's Mr. Porter inside an L.A. dressing room, exposing Em's favoritism towards the outdated tech in the process.

The rap G.O.A.T. was also rocking a shirt with Too Short's classic "Short Dog's in the House" album ... ever the avid hip hop head!!!

The 3 amigos were slyly promoting Em's "Mom's Spaghetti" after a viral negative review knocked the restaurant, with the Shade 45 host joking like he swindled Em's last box of pasta.

Earlier this week, a food critic named Mr. Chimetime declared "Mom's Spaghetti" as the worst dish he's ever had because it tasted stale ... which is the exact basis of the restaurant's existence -- to recreate the satisfaction of a leftover, microwaved meal after a Midwestern hard day's work.

El presidente Joe Biden está en Los Ángeles esta semana para recaudar fondos para su campaña de reelección, pero también está repartiendo algo riqueza.

El Presidente y un grupo de políticos y agentes del Servicio Secreto llegaron a un restaurante mexicano en el barrio de Baldwin Hills, donde apareció en el Café de CJ para el almuerzo, aunque nos informan que terminó pidiendo un desayuno.

Un representante de CJ nos dice que Joe tenía antojo de un burrito de desayuno básico con jamón, huevos y tocino y nos dicen que incluso pidió un jugo de naranja.

Estaba allí con la alcaldesa Karen Bass, y CJ nos dice que a ella también le apetecían huevos para comer. Más específicamente un plato de huevos revueltos con queso, tomates y tostadas. Sí, no son necesariamente platos mexicanos, pero bueno, eso es lo que querían comer.

De todas formas, nos dicen que Biden y Bass pagaron por separado, y que sus equipos se hicieron cargo de sus facturas con sus respectivas tarjetas de crédito. Sin embargo, CJ dice que Joe dejó algo extra para el equipo, una propina de $20 que nos dicen que pagó con dinero en efectivo.

De hecho, se le puede ver metiendo la mano en la cartera en esta foto, y el precio final fue al rededor de $30 dólares.

Claramente, hubo un montón de gente en el restaurante que quiso tomarse algunas fotos con el Presidente, y él accedió, además de compartir con los gerentes y propietarios del lugar.

Lo creas o no, el local no cerró durante la espontánea visita.

Después de comer, el Presidente se fue a dar un discurso a una biblioteca local. Estuvo paseándose por L.A. toda la mañana y lo mejor es que tenía un montón de policías siguiéndole a todas partes, incluyendo su propia caravana, con un destacamento del Servicio Secreto.

Se dice que Joe va a volar a San Francisco más tarde hoy y su gira por California debe llegar a su fin el jueves antes de que se diriga de nuevo a D.C. para volver a los asuntos del pueblo.

Es bastante agradable verlo en la Ciudad de los Ángeles... bastante surrealista también. Vemos a muchos famosos por aquí, pero cuando Joe está en la ciudad... ¡las calles tienden a cerrarse!

President Joe Biden is in L.A. this week to fundraise for his reelection campaign -- but he's also out here spreading the wealth ... including with some Jacksons for the common folk.

JB and a bunch of politicians and Secret Service agents hit up a Mexican restaurant in the Baldwin Hills neighborhood ... where he popped into CJ's Cafe for lunch, although -- we're told he ended up ordering a breakfast item.

A CJ rep tells us Joe had a hankering for a basic breakfast burrito -- complete with ham, eggs and bacon ... and we're told the Prez even ordered an orange juice to wash it down.

He was there with Mayor Karen Bass, BTW, and CJ's tells us she was also feeling eggs for lunch -- going in on a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese, tomatoes and toast. Yes, they're not necessarily Mexican dishes, per se, but hey ... this is what they were in the mood for.

Anyway, we're told Biden and Bass paid separately ... and that their teams took care of their bills with respective credit cards. However, CJ's says Joe left a little something extra for the crew ... namely, a $20 tip which we're told he paid for with cash.

You can actually see him reaching into the old wallet in this photo here ... and his total bill also appears to be on display as well. It was about $30 -- the cost of grub in this economy!

And yes ... a bunch of people there in the restaurant were eager to snap some pics with Joey -- and he happily obliged, including photos with the managers/owners of the joint.

And no, believe it or not ... we're told CJ's wasn't shut down for this spontaneous pop-in.

POTUS left after eating, and he went on to deliver a speech at a local library. He was hobnobbing around L.A. all morning -- and best believe he had a bunch of cops tailing him just about everywhere he went ... including his own motorcade, complete with a Secret Service detail.

Word is, Joe's gonna jet on up to San Francisco later today ... and his Cali tour should come to an end by Thursday before he heads back to D.C. to get back to the people's business.

Pretty cool seeing him in the City of Angels ... pretty surreal too, if we're being honest. We see a lot of celebs around here -- but when Joe's in town ... the streets tend to shut down!

Una niña exploradora en Texas fue víctima de un ladrón que hizo de las suyas en frente de un Walmart y el crimen fue capturado en video.

Este terrible incidente ocurrió la semana pasada en Fort Worth, donde una niña estaba trabajando en un stand de Chicas Exploradoras con un adulto que se distrajo brevemente. Ese momento de distracción bastó para que un tipo agarrara la bolsa de dinero de un solo golpe.

El tipo hace una carrera y logra escapar.

Se puede decir que la pobre chica queda en shock cuando se da cuenta de lo que acaba de suceder y  termina deambulando por el Walmart, presumiblemente para pedir ayuda y obtener algunas respuestas. No se sabe cuánto dinero había en su bolsa, pero las galletas podrían ser un botín valioso.

De todos modos, la Policía está al tanto y que están averiguando con la gente del lugar en busca de pistas. Hay una foto circulando en la que se muestra a un hombre joven como el principal sospechoso.

Obviamente, es una situación muy triste, pero por suerte nadie resultó herido. No sabemos que han hecho las Chicas Exploradoras al respecto, pero imaginamos que algo se les a ocurrir.

Como hemos dicho, la policía está trabajando en el caso y están solicitando cualquier consejo o información para ayudar a rastrear a este tipo. Cualquier persona que tenga la idea de ponerse en contacto con un detective, aquí va el número del caso: #240311437. El sospechoso sigue actualmente en libertad.

Por cierto, si usted se está preguntando qué tan lucrativas son las ventas de galletas... la organización dice que han generado alrededor de $800 millones al año a nivel nacional, por lo que probablemente había un buen paquete en el bolso de esa niña.

12:27 PM PT -- Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains tell TMZ they're "proud of the Girl Scouts at the booth for handling this situation safely and appropriately."

They continued, "Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains will ensure the troop is not financially impacted by this loss. For those interested in supporting Girl Scouts, please find a cookie booth near you by entering your zip code at gs-top.org/findcookies. By purchasing Girl Scout cookies, you are supporting Girl Scouts with their goals of travel, camp, and community service."

A Girl Scout in Texas got her cash stolen by a thief who pulled a quick snatch-and-grab in front of a Walmart ... and the crime was caught on video, with cops on the case.

This awful incident went down last week in Fort Worth, where a young girl who was working a Girl Scouts booth with an adult who was briefly distracted while manning her table ... only to have some dude walk out the front door and grab her money bag in one fell swoop.

The guy makes a run for it, and by the looks of this video ... he got away in the moment.

You can tell the poor girl is absolutely stunned as she realizes what just happened -- wandering into the Walmart ... presumably to ask for help and get some answers. No word on how much money might've been in her bag -- but GS cookies can pull in a solid haul.

Anyway, Forth Worth PD is aware of this ... and they're asking the public for help in ID'ing the suspect -- a photo of whom they posted, and who they describe as a young man.

Obviously, it's a crappy situation ... but luckily, no one was hurt. Doesn't sound like the Girl Scouts org at large has addressed this yet ... however, ya gotta figure they're helping her out.

Like we said, cops are working the case and they're soliciting any tips or info to help track this guy down. Anyone with any insight is encouraged to contact a FW detective ... and they even cite the case number, #240311437. The suspect is still currently at large.

BTW, if you're wondering just how lucrative Girl Scout cookie sales are -- the org says they've raked in about $800 million a year nationally ... so there was probably a nice bundle in that little girl's purse.

Pretty crappy, indeed.

Damian Lillard and Mac McClung were big winners during NBA All-Star Weekend ... and the two champs celebrated like it -- getting the VIP treatment at a celeb-packed hot spot on Saturday.

The Milwaukee Bucks superstar and G League standout were victorious in the Three-point and Slam Dunk contests, respectively ... and shortly after they got their shiny, new hardware, they made their way to Sei Less NYC's popup party in Indianapolis.

The gathering had an impressive guest list ... including Allen Iverson, Draymond Green, Fabolous, Druski, Paulo Bancero, Anthony Edwards and Trae Young.

Mac was loving the cuisine, even making his way to the back kitchen to hang with the chefs and thank them for the grub.

We're told Dame and McClung weren't the only ones with a reason to party -- ex-NBAer Al Harrington was also feeling the love on his 44th birthday ... getting surprised with a cake!!

Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez pueden valer miles de millones... pero a veces ponen los pies en la tierra y quieren disfrutar de las cosas simples de la vida.

El fundador de Amazon y su prometida -quienes están muy acostumbrados a la vida de lujo- fueron vistos en un restaurante relativamente pequeño en Miami el domingo llamado Tropical chino, y se sentaron para compartir una comida con otra pareja.

Si crees que destacarían como un pulgar dolorido en un antro como este ... pues estás en lo cierto. Como se puede ver en estas fotos obtenidas por TMZ - Jeff y co. ciertamente parecían celebridades en una parte muy normie de la ciudad. Y, en un modesto establecimiento como este - tal vez el doble.

La razón por la que sabemos que es cierto ... algunos de los clientes del restaurante - y algunos empleados también, al parecer - se acercó a charlar con JB y su equipo ... al parecer en el temor de que estaba allí.

A Jeff no parecía importarle la atención, fue visto sonriendo y sacándose fotos con los trabajadores del lugar. Una vez que él y su amada fueron finalmente capaces de sentarse y comer, nos dicen que disfrutaron del pato Pekín, que cuesta alrededor de $78 en ese lugar.

Es un menú completo de dos platos y sin duda una de sus ofertas más caras. Todo lo demás es bastante asequible, una orden de arroz frito en este lugar cuesta entre $15 y $26.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez might be worth billions -- but they're just like us ... 'cause sometimes, they just want some basic lo mein, and when they do -- they dine in.

The Amazon founder and his fiancée -- who are quite accustomed to the high life -- rolled into a relatively dinky restaurant in Miami Sunday called Tropical Chinese and they sat down for a meal with another couple for dinner.

If you think they'd stand out like a sore thumb in a joint like this ... well, you're right. As you can see in these photos obtained by TMZ -- Jeff and co. most certainly looked like celebs in a very normie part of town. And, in a modest establishment like this -- perhaps doubly so.

The reason we know that's true ... some of the restaurant patrons -- and some staff too, it seems -- came over to chat it up with JB and his crew ... apparently in awe he was there.

Jeff didn't seem to mind the attention ... he was seen smiling and yukking it up with the commoners -- and once he and his party were finally able to sit down and munch, we're told they appeared to be delving into the Peking duck ... which goes for about $78 there.

It's a whole two-course deal there and certainly one of their pricier offerings. Everything else is fairly affordable ... a fried rice order at this place costs between $15 and $26.

Considering Jeff and Lauren are used to a certain standard of living in their day-to-day -- this must've been a nice change of pace for them. Hey, billionaires need greasy noodles too!

McDonald's está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por dos empleadas que dicen que la cadena de comida rápida está haciendo que sea difícil para ellas extraerse la leche materna en el trabajo, pues aseguran que no hay tiempo ni lugar para hacerlo.

De acuerdo con una nueva demanda colectiva obtenida por TMZ, dos mujeres llamadas Kathleen Faber y Lexis Mays dicen que volvieron a trabajar a McDonald's después de haber dado a luz y aparentemente están encontrando obstáculos para amamantar.

Las mujeres dicen que le dijeron a sus gerentes que necesitarían sacarse leche en el trabajo. Aunque ellos comentaron que eso no sería un problema, no ha resultado ser el caso.

Faber afirma que su McDonald's en Kansas no tiene un espacio seguro ni privado para ella para extraerse la leche materna y ha tenido que hacerlo en la esquina de una sala de existencias para evitar la visión de las cámaras de seguridad y los empleados.

Mays dice lo mismo de su McDonald's en Nueva York y afirma que ha tenido que hacerlo en la oficina trasera, que no tiene puerta y está abierta a otros miembros del personal, que vienen a la habitación cuando ella está bombeando.

En la demanda, ambas mujeres también dicen que no tienen suficiente tiempo de descanso para extraerse la leche materna durante sus turnos en el Golden Arches.

Faber y Mays dicen que la falta de adaptaciones para la lactancia materna en McDonald's les está causando ansiedad, incomodidad, humillación, vergüenza y angustia emocional.

Las mujeres dicen que la cadena no está cumpliendo con las leyes federales que requieren lugares seguros y privados para las madres lactantes en el lugar de trabajo y quieren que un tribunal intervenga por ellas y ayude a otras empleadas en una situación similar.

McDonald's is being dragged to court by two employees who say the fast food chain is making it tough on them to pump breastmilk on the job ... they say there's no time or place.

According to a new class action lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, two women named Kathleen Faber and Lexis Mays say they returned to work at McDonald's after giving birth and are apparently running into obstacles when it comes to pumping breastmilk for their babies.

The women say they told their managers they would need to pump at work and claim they were told it wouldn't be an issue ... but they say that's turned out not to be the case.

Faber claims her McDonald's in Kansas has no secure, private space for her to pump breast milk, leaving her to pump milk from the corner of a stock room so she can avoid the sight lines of security cameras and male employees.

Mays says her McDonald's in New York doesn't have a secure, private space to pump either ... she claims she's been left to pump from a back office that doesn't have a door and is wide open to other crew members, who she says come in the room when she's pumping.

In the suit, both women also say they don't have enough break time to pump breast milk during their shifts at the Golden Arches.

Faber and Mays say the lack of breastfeeding accommodation at McDonald's is causing them anxiety, discomfort, humiliation, embarrassment and emotional distress.

The women say McDonald's is not complying with federal laws requiring secure and private places for breastfeeding mothers to pump in the workplace ... and they want a court to step in and help them and all similarly situated employees.

Matt Damon is disavowing the most talked about Super Bowl ad -- at least creatively, and instead he's laying blame/giving credit to his BFF Ben Affleck.

Of course, Matt and Ben teamed up with Tom Brady to hilariously debut their boyband, The DunKings, for the splashy Dunkin ad -- which cost $15 mil just for the airtime -- all sporting bright orange tracksuits.

The spot was the standout Super Bowl Sunday commercial, but Tuesday night, when 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert showed Matt a pic of him in the DunKing getup ... he immediately made it crystal clear he wasn't the brains behind it!

TBF, it does have "Ben Affleck" written all over it.

MD did own this detail ... at the end of the commercial he tells Ben, '"Remember how I said I would do anything for you? This is anything" -- a line he actually said IRL to his pal.

He says Ben just decided to put it in the ad.

Matt jokingly acknowledged being in The DunKings wasn't exclusive to the Boston trio ... 'cause the only qualification needed to be in the band was the willingness to slide into those visually loud tracksuits.

Though, it seems like dressing the part ain't an issue for lots of coffee and donut lovers ... as Dunkin' sold out of the tracksuits in just 19 minutes after going up for sale on their site.

In fact, demand's so high that new stock is on the way ... with the track pants listed for pre-sale.

Dunkin's SB spot certainly seemed to sweeten the deal for them -- with staff from various DD locations telling us they've busy as hell since Sunday.

Matt Damon está renegando del anuncio más comentado del Super Bowl, al menos creativamente, y en su lugar le está echando la culpa a su mejor amigo Ben Affleck.

Por supuesto, Matt y Ben se asociaron con Tom Brady para formar la pandilla The DunKings para el impactante anuncio de Dunkin, que costó 15 millones de dólares solo por el tiempo de emisión, y todos vistieron chaquetas de color naranja brillante.

El anuncio fue uno de los más destacados del Super Bowl, aunque cuando Stephen Colbert, presentador de "Late Show" le mostró a Matt una foto con el atuendo de los DunKings, ¡dejó claro que no fue el cerebro detrás del anuncio!

Para ser justos, el anuncio tiene escrito "Ben Affleck" por todas partes.

Matt Damon dice que aportó con un detalle al final del anuncio, cuando le dice a Ben: "¿Recuerdas que te dije que haría cualquier cosa por ti? Esto es cualquier cosa", una línea que de verdad le dijo en la vida real a su amigo.

Y que Ben decidió incluirla en el anuncio.

También reconoció en broma que estar en The DunKings no era exclusivo del trío de Boston, porque el único requisito necesario para ser parte de la banda es la voluntad de ponerse esos buzos naranjos.

Ahora, parece que vestir estas prendas no es un problema para los amantes del café y las donas. Solo 19 minutos después de que salieran a la venta, los conjuntos se agotaron.

De hecho, la demanda ha sido tan alta que están en camino nuevas acciones, como por ejemplo, la pre-venta de los pantalones del conjunto.

Hollywood's biggest movie stars mixed, mingled and munched at a famous hotel ahead of the upcoming Academy Awards ... and there was a heavy "Barbie" contingent.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were among the "Barbie" stars in attendance Monday at the annual Oscar nominees luncheon at The Beverly Hilton.

Billie Eilish and Finneas were also representing "Barbie" in Bev Hills ... the musicians are up for the Oscar for Best Original Song for "What Was I Made For?" and they seem to be the team to beat after their song won twice at the Grammys

"Barbie" director Greta Gerwig was there too ... rubbing elbows with other famous directors like Steven Spielberg and "Oppenheimer" honcho Martin Scorsese.

Steven's nominated for his work as a producer on Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro," which is nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Bradley directed and starred in the film and he's up for Best Actor ... so naturally he made sure to chat with some of the other stars in his category, like "American Fiction" leading man Jeffrey Wright.

This year's spread ... wild mushroom risotto.

Check out the gallery ... it's loaded with big names like Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti, Sterling K. Brown, Marlee Matlin, Diane Warren, Brittany Snow and Hailee Steinfeld.

Las estrellas de cine más importantes de Hollywood se mezclaron y comieron en un famoso hotel antes de los próximos Premios de la Academia y hubo un fuerte contingente de "Barbie".

Margot Robbie y Ryan Gosling fueron algunas de las estrellas de "Barbie" que asistieron el lunes al almuerzo anual de los nominados al Oscar en el Beverly Hilton.

Billie Eilish y Finneas también estuvieron representando a "Barbie". Los músicos compiten por al Oscar a la Mejor Canción Original por "What Was I Made For?" y parecen ser el equipo a batir después de que su canción ganara dos veces en los Grammy

La directora de "Barbie" Greta Gerwig también estuvo allí, codeándose con otros directores famosos como Steven Spielberg y Martin Scorsese.

Steven está nominado por su trabajo como productor en la película biográfica de Bradley Cooper sobre Leonard Bernstein, "Maestro", que está nominada a siete premios de la Academia.

Bradley dirigió y protagonizó la película y es candidato a Mejor Actor ... así que, naturalmente, se aseguró de charlar con algunas de las otras estrellas en su categoría, como "American Fiction" protagonista Jeffrey Wright.

El plato de este año... risotto de setas silvestres.

Échale un vistazo a la galería, la cual está cargada de grandes nombres como Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti, Sterling K. Brown, Marlee Matlin, Diane Warren, Brittany Snow y Hailee Steinfeld.

Dunkin' Donuts has clearly found a sweet spot with their Ben Affleck partnership ... 'cause their clothing merch has flown off the shelves following his SB commercial.

As everyone saw Sunday, Ben repped his beloved donut company in their latest Super Bowl ad wearing their outrageously orange signature tracksuits alongside Matt Damon and Tom Brady as they hilariously debuted their band, The DunKings.

As it turns out, the SB spot worked -- because we're told Dunkin' sold out of their new tracksuits in just 19 minutes after going up on sale on their site Monday.

In addition to the DunKings track jacket and track pants, the DunKings bucket hat was also in high demand ... and is currently sold out on their site -- with the sales marking a record-breaking milestone as the fastest collection to sell out in Dunkin' history.

DD says they're currently working on a restock of the sold-out merch ... but for fans of the new boyband, hurry to stores cause The DunKings Iced Coffee, Munchkins Skewers, and more items are available for a limited time.

Evidently, Ben and Dunkin' is a match made in donut heaven ... and no doubt, the Hollywood star is having the last laugh after thousands of memes mocking his unwavering love for the baked good store.

Ben raked in a whopping $10M for last year's commercial with DD, so his paycheck for his 1 minute SB commercial this year would've obviously been one heck of a sweet deal.

BTW, the sold-out effect was happening on the ground as well here in L.A. -- we sent a photog to various Dunkin' Donuts locations ... and the staff told us, they're busy as hell!

Whether it's on their online shop or in the stores themselves -- people seem to be flipping out for Dunkin' all over again.

Ben Affleck está recibiendo su última alegría de parte de su querida Dunkin' Donuts, esto, después de los cientos de memes que se ríen de él por promocionar tanto la marca.

Resulta que el ganador del Oscar se embolsó 10 millones de dólares por el anuncio que hizo para el Super Bowl del año pasado, según CNN. Recuerden que Ben apareció como un trabajador de Dunkin en un clip de 30 segundos que benefició mucho a la marca.

Al parecer, la empresa vendió más donuts al día siguiente del Super Bowl que en cualquier otro día de su historia. Aprovechando ese gran éxito, Ben firmó como portavoz oficial y aparecerá en otro comercial para ellos durante el Super Bowl de este año.

Pero Ben no es el único que ha hecho mucho dinero en el Super Domingo. Larry David también se enganchó $10M por su ahora controvertido anuncio para FTX y CNN dice que al menos otras dos celebridades de la lista A están ganando $5M este año por aparecer en cámara durante menos de 20 segundos en los anuncios.

Hay que tener en cuenta que las empresas también desembolsan 7 millones de dólares por emitir un anuncio de 30 segundos.

En cuanto al nuevo anuncio de Ben, los publicistas de Dunkin han hecho que este se ría de sí mismo por sus "miserables" expresiones en los Grammy del año pasado.
