Red Lobster is reportedly mulling over bankruptcy, and while this is far from the end for them as a business ... some online are certainly treating it that way, with jokes galore.

According to Bloomberg, the famous seafood restaurant chain is considering its options to restructure some of its debt and other expenses it has on its plate right now -- including leases they have under its name, not to mention rising labor costs.

Apparently, it's Chapter 11 bankruptcy that's on the table ... which, if they pursue that, would mean they could still run their operation while sorting out their debts with creditors, etc.

2:13 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Kraft Heinz tells TMZ ... "We’re aware of the complaint and strongly disagree with the allegations. Certain substances like lead occur in the environment and can be found at low levels in agricultural products—whether on grocery store shelves, in the produce section, or grown in your back yard. Our products are safe for consumers, and we will vigorously defend our brand."

Kraft Heinz is facing a class action lawsuit -- which claims their Lunchables are basically a scrap yard for metals that end up in the mouths of kids everywhere.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Laura LaSpisa accuses Kraft of misleading consumers with false advertising about their pre-packaged meal kits. She claims they failed to mention the kits contain harmful levels of lead, cadmium, and phthalates -- a group of chemicals typically used to make plastic more durable.

According to the suit, a Consumer Reports study revealed some troubling findings recently ... and Laura claims until then, the company had convinced her she was buying a safe and nutritious snack.

It all went down back in December as Heather was dining out in Hollywood, where she spotted Britney celebrating her birthday with her manager Cade Hudson.

Sarah Jessica Parker cuenta que cuando niña no le permitían comer comida chatarra, pero ella no está cometiendo el mismo error con sus hijas y las deja comer lo que les plazca.

La actriz hizo la revelación en un reciente episodio de "Ruthie's Table 4", donde dijo que no quería que sus hijas de 13 años sintieran que la comida era el enemigo o se volvieran locas por dejar los dulces, un problema que admite que trató en su juventud.

Listen for yourself ... SJP says her parents wouldn't let her have dessert in their house growing up -- and she did a total 180 once she moved out on her own.

Logan Paul and KSI continue to take a proverbial Louisville Slugger bat to the beverage market ... with PRIME inking a sponsorship deal with one of the biggest stars in baseball (in many ways), Aaron Judge!

The 31-year-old NY Yankees slugger now joins K.C. Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes as a Prime ambassador ... meaning the energy and hydration drink company, which only launched in 2022, now counts arguably the world's best baseball and football player as part of their roster of athletes.

Add to #99 and #15, combat sports stars Terence Crawford, Alex Volkanovski, and Israel Adesanya, and international soccer superstar Erling Haaland ... and that's not too shabby!

Prime and KSI made the big announcement Thursday morning on social media, writing, "All Rise for the newest member of the Prime Team ⚾️ @thejudge44 x @drinkprime," along with a dugout photo of the trio.

“It’s such an honor to team up with legends like Logan Paul and KSI,” Aaron Judge said of the partnership.

“PRIME has been my go-to for both fuel and recovery since it was first released and it’s a pleasure to officially sign on as a PRIME Hydration athlete. This collaboration comes just in time as we kick off our next season and with PRIME by my side, it's slated to be one of the best ones yet.”

FWIW, this checks out. The Yanks are off to a blazing fast start, going 6-1, including a road sweep of the rival Houston Astros, and a series win in Arizona. In fact, Judge came up big on the eve of the Prime announcement, blasting a 2 run home run on Wednesday, and driving in a critical run in extra innings.

As you'd expect, Prime's pumped, too.

“Aaron Judge is nothing short of a professional baseball icon and legend. Watching his career grow into what it is today has been inspirational and these are the types of athletes we can only hope to partner with,” co-founders Logan and KSI said.

“Aaron and team, welcome to the PRIME family and good luck this season! We will all be cheering you on.”

Five aid workers from Chef José Andrés' World Central Kitchen were killed in Gaza during an alleged Israeli airstrike Monday ... this according to multiple reports.

The celebrity chef's humanitarian staffers -- who worked for his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, which is stationed in Gaza rendering food and aid to Palestinians -- died after their vehicle was struck in the war-torn region.

World Central Kitchen did not identify the workers who were lost in the airstrike, but did claim the staffers died "while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza." WCK also alleged their workers were taken out during an Israeli Defense Forces attack.

Un repartidor de DoorDash pareció robar el gato de un cliente justo en medio de una entrega, al menos eso es lo que el supuesto propietario está reclamando, y parece que tiene pruebas.

Un tipo llamado Odwin -que parece vivir en Las Vegas, al menos según sus redes sociales- publicó un video el domingo con una afirmación bastante condenatoria e imágenes igual de convincentes, acusando a lo que parece ser un repartidor de DoorDash que tenía que dejar una entrega a su casa.

En el video se puede ver a una persona que trabaja como delivery -Odwin asegura que es de DoorDash- que se pasea por el porche delantero.

11:49 AM PT -- The owner of the cat who claimed this DoorDash driver had stolen his cat is now setting the record straight -- saying the kitty is safe and sound ... and that it was not in fact jacked.

Odwin writes, "omg yall… Milo was not catnapped by the driver HES OKAY he just went on an adventure rq." It's a good thing he clarified -- because his post, which has since gone viral, sure made it seem like the cat had actually gotten taken. Talk about April Fool's, huh?

A DoorDash driver appeared to steal a customer's cat right in the middle of a delivery -- at least that's what the purported owner is claiming ... and he seems to have video proof.

Diddy is out and about in Miami -- and he's even speaking now too ... evidenced in a new clip that an influencer took of the mogul out in the wild, who also captured Stevie J.

Fitness trainer and life coach Wes Watson -- who has more than a million followers on Instagram -- posted a video and a photo on Friday that shows Diddy at a cafe in town called Pura Vida ... and it looks like Puff was in a good mood, flashing a smile and even chatting.

Unclear which location this was at specifically -- there's a zillion of these in the area -- but our bet is that it was one of the ones close to Diddy's homes there on Star Island.
