DORITOS ROMPE SU ACUERDO... Con influencer trans

Doritos ha roto su relación con una influencer trans española después de que reaparecieran unos polémicos tuits que provocaron llamamientos al boicot... y sí, esto repercutió en Bud Light.

Samantha Hudson (24 años) -que recientemente apareció en un nuevo anuncio de Doritos en España- estuvo en la mira de los usuarios de X de derecha esta semana en medio de su primera promoción para la marca de patatas fritas, llamando a una supuesta publicación en redes sociales donde al parecer declaró su deseo de hacerle cosas inapropiadas a una niña de 12 años cuando tenía 15.

LA POLÉMICA ELECCIÓN
Doritos

Por supuesto, muchos también acaban de criticar el hecho de que Doritos se haya asociado con una mujer trans.

Samantha escribió el post inapropiado en 2015 y que aparentemente ha sido borrado de su cuenta, sin embargo, alguen le hizo un pantallazo y lo compartió en la red. La publicación original para Doritos también ha sido borrada de su cuenta de Instagram -que ha perdido casi 30.000 seguidores a raíz de la controversia- esto después de que Doritos anulara su acuerdo.

Una vez que el anuncio digital corrió y se hizo viral, el hashtag #BoycottDoritos hizo las rondas en línea. Luego de esto, Doritos España cedió y deshizo su asociación con Samantha diciendo que simplemente no eran conscientes de sus viejos tuits cuando la contrataron.

Y añadieron: "Condenamos enérgicamente las palabras o acciones que promueven la violencia o el sexismo de cualquier tipo".

Samantha supuestamente se disculpó por los mensajes resurgidos después de hacerse famosa, diciendo que no recuerda haber escrito "tales barbaridades" hace casi 10 años. Sin embargo, reconoció que anteriormente "se dedicaba a decir tonterías" en nombre del humor negro.

EL ANUNCIO DE BUD LIGHT

Si todo esto te suena familiar, es porque algo muy similar ocurrió aquí en los Estados el año pasado. Recordemos que Anheuser Busch -que fabrica Bud Light- se enfrentó a un boicot tras nombrar embajadora a la TikToker transexual Dylan Mulvaney.

Mientras que todo el asunto se prolongó durante bastante tiempo, con Anheuser recibiendo un importante golpe financiero después de que sus clientes se atrincheraran en el boicot, esta situación se resolvió rápidamente.

Parece que Doritos no quería correr el riesgo de seguir el camino de Bud Light y cambió de rumbo.

Hombre desnudo Se mete al tanque de agua de Burger King... Todo bien, dice la compañía

Espectáculo en un Burger King
Jam Press

Un hombre de Colombia encontró la forma de darse un baño de cuerpo entero en un lugar muy particular, sacándose la ropa y sumergiéndose en un tanque de agua de Burger King.

Un testigo filmó la escena en video, donde se puede ver al tipo saliendo de un contenedor gigante en la parte superior de un Burger King en Envigado, al sur de Medellín. Eso sí, esto sucedió a plena luz del día y el hombre iba por el techo completamente desnudo.

Luego de zambullirse completamente en el agua y salir del tanque, se lo puede ver relajándose un poco en el borde como si no fuera la gran cosa. Por supuesto, esto asustó a los clientes, quienes pensaron que el hombre estaba nadando en agua que Burger King realmente utiliza en sus labores diarias de alguna manera.

Afortunadamente, la compañía se apresuró en decirle a todos que no había riesgo de contaminación aquí. Dicen que estos tanques son solo reservas y no se utilizan en la preparación de alimentos o limpieza de las instalaciones.

Dicho esto, no están tomando ningún riesgo. Burger King cerró temporalmente esta ubicación y trajo a una empresa especializada para manejar el saneamiento y tratamiento del agua.

Más vale prevenir que curar, ¿verdad?

Burger King ha tomado medidas adicionales para evitar que este tipo de cosas vuelvan a ocurrir, sellando el acceso al techo para asegurarse de que esto no se repita.

En su comunicado dijeron: "Nuestra clientela puede estar segura de que esto fue un hecho aislado que lamentamos profundamente y no afecta a la calidad de nuestros productos de ninguna manera, ya que no utilizamos el agua de dicho tanque para nuestras operaciones".

Burger King añadió: "Nuestra principal preocupación siempre ha sido y será el bienestar de nuestros clientes". Hasta el momento, la identidad del buzo de la azotea de Burger King sigue sin resolverse y tampoco está claro si la policía está tratando de perseguirlo.

Aunque los tanques de agua no estén en las operaciones reales de Burger King, la óptica de esto, obviamente, no se ve bien.

Doritos Scraps Deal with Trans Influencer ... After Backlash, Old Tweets

Doritos has parted ways with a Spanish transgender influencer -- this after old controversial tweets resurfaced and sparked calls for a boycott ... and yeah, this has echoes of Bud Light.

24-year-old Samantha Hudson -- who recently appeared in a new ad for Doritos out in Spain -- was put on blast this week by right-leaning X users amid her first promotional plug for the chip brand ... calling out an alleged social media post where she reportedly declared a desire to do inappropriate things to a 12-year-old girl when she was 15.

The controversial pick
Doritos

Of course ... many also just slammed the fact Doritos had partnered with a trans woman.

Samantha wrote the inappropriate post in 2015 -- which has seemingly been deleted from her account ... but which got screen-grabbed and shared online. SH's original upload for Doritos has also been wiped from her Instagram account -- which has lost nearly 30,000 followers in the wake of the controversy ... this after Doritos axed their deal.

Once the digital spot ran and went viral ... the hashtag #BoycottDoritos made the rounds online. In the aftermath, Doritos Spain caved ... nixing their partnership with Samantha and saying they simply weren't aware of her old tweets when they first brought her on.

They added ... "We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind."

Samantha reportedly apologized for the resurfaced posts after becoming famous ... saying she doesn't remember writing "such barbarities" almost 10 years ago. However -- she did reportedly acknowledge that she previously "dedicated [her]self to saying nonsense" in the name of dark humor.

THE BUD LIGHT AD

If this whole saga sounds familiar ... that's because something very similar happened here in the States last year. Remember, Anheuser Busch -- which manufactures Bud Light -- faced a boycott fiasco after naming transgender TikToker Dylan Mulvaney as an ambassador.

While that whole thing dragged on for quite a while -- with AB taking a major financial hit after their customers dug their heels in on the boycott -- this situation resolved quickly.

Sounds like Doritos didn't wanna run the risk of going the way of Bud Light, and pivoted.

NAKED MAN BATHES IN BURGER KING WATER TANK ... Co. Says It's All Kosher!!!

HAVIN' IT HIS WAY
Jam Press

A Colombian dude had it his way when he decided to take a full-body soak -- stripping down to his birthday suit ... and plunging into a Burger King water tank on the roof.

An eyewitness recently filmed this wild footage on camera ... and you can see the naked dude emerging from a giant container atop a BK in Envigado, just south of Medellín. Mind you this happened in broad daylight ... and yes, the man here was completely naked.

He chills on the edge for a bit like it's no big deal ... this before completely exiting the water tank and lowering himself down. Of course, this sight freaked customers out ... as they assumed he was swimming in water that this Burger King actually used in some capacity.

Thankfully, Burger King was quick to reassure everyone there was no risk of contamination here ... they say these tanks are just reserves and not used in food prep or facility cleaning.

With that said ... they're not taking any chances. BK temporarily closed this location and they're also bringing in a specialized company to handle the water sanitation and treatment.

Better safe than sorry, right?

Burger King has taken extra measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening again --sealing off roof access to make sure the skinny dipper doesn't stage a repeat performance.

They said this in their statement ... "Our clientele can rest assured that this was an isolated event, which we deeply regret, and does not affect the quality of our products in any way as we do not use the water from said tank for our operations."

BK added ... "Our primary concern has always been and will always be the wellbeing of our customers." So far, the identity of the Burger King rooftop diver remains unsolved ... and it's also unclear if the cops are trying to chase him down.

While the water tanks aren't in the mix of the actual Burger King operations ... the optics of this are obviously not good. Talk about a Whopper of a disaster.

Joey Chestnut Downs 39 Pierogies In 2 Minutes!!! ... Dominates 3v1 Contest

The Pierogi Punisher
X/@cavs

The Kelce Bros. weren't the only superstar athletes at the Cavs game Tuesday night -- the world's best eater, Joey Chestnut, rolled through Cleveland as well ... putting his unbelievable abilities on display for everyone in attendance!!

Jaws returned to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for the Wine and Gold's home matchup against the Boston Celtics ... but the real contest went down at halftime, when the hot dog champ faced off against three normies in a pierogi challenge.

Chestnut -- who's by far the most famous figure in professional eating -- completely wrecked the field ... finishing 39 dumplings in two minutes, while everyone else combined for 23.

Joey looked pretty stuffed after the final buzzer -- his eyes got super wide as he was handed a championship belt.

It's not the first time Chestnut has taken on a trio of Cavs fans -- he previously crushed 47 back in 2022.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Joey was eating fast, but the Kelces were drinking just as quickly ... 'cause Jason and Travis gulped on some beers in the blink of an eye while at the big game.

The Cavs went home winners, too -- coming all the way back from down 22 in the fourth to snap the Celtics' 11-game streak.

J Lo y Ben Affleck Limpian sus asientos... Después de ver "Dune 2"

Jennifer López y Ben Affleck fueron a ver "Dune 2" al cine como todo el mundo, pero a diferencia de los normies, se pusieron a limpiar sus asientos después de la función.

Ben y J Lo fueron a ver la película de ciencia ficción protagonizada por Timothée Chalamet y Zendaya el lunes por la noche en Los Ángeles, pero que la famosa pareja se mezclara con un montón de gente normal no es lo más interesante aquí.

Un grupo sentado detrás de Ben y Jen tomó un video de ellos con su celular, mientras se paraban de sus asientos, en el que se los puede ver limpiando, esto es, recogiendo el envase de sus palomitas de maíz y sus refrescos.

Echa un vistazo, Bennifer (pero sobre todo Ben) le da un buen repaso a su asiento para asegurarse de que todo esté impecable antes de salir. Ciertamente, tiene muy buenos modales, vamos a decir eso.

Ben y Jen mantuvieron un bajo perfil también. La gente del teatro dice que ni siquiera sabían que la pareja estaba sentada allí hasta que las luces se volvieron a encender.

Además, parece que J Lo apenas probó sus palomitas. Hay que decir que optaron por un envase normal y no por uno de esos que se han vuelto virales en Internet.

En cualquier caso, parece que Ben y Jen no dejaron rastro al salir, lo que no se puede decir de todos los que van al cine en Estados Unidos por estos días. Hay mucho vago por ahí, como todos sabemos muy bien.

Bravo. 👏🏽

J Lo & Ben Affleck Pick Up Their Theater Trash ... After Watching 'Dune 2'

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck watched 'Dune 2' in theaters just like everyone else -- but unlike normies, they actually went out of their way to clean up their area afterward.

Ben and J Lo caught a showing of the Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya-led sci-fi flick Monday night in Los Angeles ... but the fact the famous couple squeezed in between a bunch of regular folks isn't the most interesting thing here.

A group sitting behind Ben and Jen took a cell phone video of them leaving their theater seats -- and you see them picking up their trash ... namely, popcorn buckets and soda cups.

Check it out ... Bennifer (but mostly Ben) gives their seats a good once over to make sure everything is spick and span before heading out. It's certainly good etiquette, we'll say that.

Ben and Jen kept a pretty low profile here too ... people in the theater say they didn't even know the couple was sitting there until the credits rolled and the lights came back on.

Also ... it seems J Lo barely touched her huge popcorn bucket too ... and they opted for a regular container, not one of those viral 'Dune 2' ones that have been making the rounds.

In any event, it looks like Ben and Jen left no trace as they exited ... which can't be said for everyone who goes to movie theaters in America these days. A lot of slobs out there, as we all know very well.

Bravo. 👏🏽

Diane Warren Remains Modest On Oscar Chances ... But She's in the Pink for a Different Oscar!!!

WE'RE ALL WINNERS
TMZ.com

Diane Warren says she's just along for the ride as she heads back to yet another Academy Awards while seeking her first win ... but her movie partners are a lot less bashful, 'cause they're bashing her competition.

We got the legendary songwriter Thursday at Pink's Hot Dogs on La Brea -- where Diane was being honored with her own veggie hot dog -- and our photog asked her about that elusive Oscar's win.

GOOD VIBES ONLY!!!
TMZ.com

Diane's nominated for an Academy Award for the 15th time in her career -- this time she's up for Best Original Song for "The Fire Inside” from the film "Flamin' Hot" -- and she told us she's just happy to be nominated and already feels like a winner.

While Diane played it cool, her partners on the film go to bat for her ... telling us she deserves to finally win an Oscar.

Becky G sings Diane's song from the Hot Cheetos movie ... and she's gonna perform it at the Oscars, along with the other nominees.

The competition includes a couple songs from "Barbie" ... the Ryan Gosling-performed song "I'm Just Ken" and Billie Eilish and Finneas' "What Was I Made For?"

Diane's movie partners, Richard and Judy Montanez, take a couple playful shots at the "Barbie" duo here ... telling us Diane's tune is way better than the Ken song.

Don't even get them started on Billie's track, which they quietly say is "depressing." No hate here, just good fun ... Billie says she was depressed when writing the song anyway.

Win or lose next weekend at the Oscars, Diane's already got another notch on her belt ... in the form of her very own Pink's hot dog.

Diane's special dog is a veggie dog topped with jalapeño pepper jack cheese, guacamole, and Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

CHEERIOS LAWSUIT YOUR CEREAL IS FILLED WITH PESTICIDE!!!

General Mills has been hit with a class-action lawsuit claiming Cheerios contains a harmful pesticide ... which some angry customers say definitely ain't good for the heart!

In the docs obtained by TMZ, plaintiff Steven Epstein alleges that GM has been manufacturing, marketing and distributing the hugely popular oat-based cereal brand without making it clear that it's laden with dangerously high levels of a particular pesticide known as chlormequat chloride ... which he claims independent studies have confirmed to be present.

In the docs, NY native Epstein says when he bought a box of Cheerios from the store in January, he had no reason to suspect that it contained chlormequat chloride based on the product's advertising, marketing, and listed ingredients.

TMZ INVESTIGATES
TMZ Studios

He says chlormequat is linked to causing problems with fetal growth and the nervous system.

Epstein claims that if he had known that Cheerios contained dangerous levels of the pesticide and the potential harm that could result from ingesting it, he either wouldn't have purchased it at all or would have been willing to pay significantly less for it.

So now, Epstein is trying to put together a class action ... and is looking for millions in damages for what he claims are material misrepresentations and omissions in marketing the popular cereal.

We've reached out to General Mills for comment ... so far, no word back.

TRAVIS KELCE SE REÚNE CON MCCAFFREY Y CULPO EN NOBU ...No me siento solo sin Tay

Travis Kelce y Christian McCaffrey no están dejando que los resultados del Super Bowl les impida salir a divertirse.

Las dos superestrellas de la NFL -que se enfrentaron en Las Vegas hace unas semanas, con el equipo de Travis saliendo victorioso de nuevo- fueron vistos disfrutando de la compañía del otro en Nobu en Malibú el miércoles.

El ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs está claramente ocupado mientras Taylor Swift hace lo suyo en Singapur, la próxima parada de su gira internacional. Nos dicen que se presentó en el famoso lugar de moda alrededor de las 8 PM, justo cuando CMC y su prometida, Olivia Culpo, llegaron.

Parece que McCaffrey y Culpo estaban allí para un evento de productos Dolce Glow, porque un puñado de influencers y celebridades como Becky G, Chrissy Teigen y las dos hermanas de Olivia también estaban presentes. No está claro por qué Kelce estaba ahí pero en cualquier caso, estaba rodando con la tripulación.

Nos dicen que los deportistas se metieron en carros separados al salir del restaurante, pero Kelce realmente estaba empeñado en evitar a los paparazzi (aprendiendo de Taylor, ¿eh?)

Travis se abrió paso a través de la cocina para salir del lugar, mientras que la pareja comprometida eligió la ruta estándar y no les importaba ser fotografiados. Por alguna razón, Travis se ha vuelto tímido ante las cámaras.

En cuanto a Kelce y McCaffrey, no parece que hayan estado juntos por mucho tiempo -el corredor de los 49ers dijo en noviembre que conoció a Travis por primera vez durante la temporada baja de 2023. Y, sin embargo, están compartiendo poco después del Super Bowl.

TMZ Studios

McCaffrey y Culpo se van a casar pronto, así que tal vez Kelce recibió algunos consejos de como dar el siguiente paso...

Algunos piensan que Travis y Taylor van a casarse eventualmente. De todos modos, Travis está haciendo lo suyo y sigue moviéndose por todo el país mientras disfruta de la temporada baja.

Travis Kelce Hangs W/ McCaffrey, Culpo At Nobu ... Not Lonely Without Tay

UPDATE

3:39 PM -- TMZ Sports got some more intel on what went down inside the restaurant ... and as it turns out, Travis and Christian never crossed paths.

In fact, we're told McCaffrey had no idea Kelce was also there Wednesday night ... and only found out after the fact.

Travis Kelce and Christian McCaffrey aren't letting the Super Bowl results keep them from bro-ing down in Malibu -- 'cause that's exactly what they were doing on Hump Day.

The two dueling NFL superstars -- who faced off in Vegas a few weeks ago, with TK's team emerging victorious (again) -- were spotted enjoying each other's company at Nobu in Malibu on Wednesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is clearly staying busy while Taylor Swift does her thing in Singapore -- the next stop on her international tour. We're told he showed up at the famous hot spot around 8 PM, right around when CMC and his fiancée, Olivia Culpo, arrived.

It appears McCaffrey and Culpo were there for a Dolce Glow product event ... 'cause a handful of influencers and celebs like Becky G, Chrissy Teigen and Olivia's two sisters were also present. Unclear why Kelce was there ... but in any case, he was rolling with the crew.

We're told the two jocks got in separate cars as they left the restaurant ... but Kelce was trying like hell to avoid the paps on the scene (Taylor's really rubbing off on him, huh?)

In fact, Travis made his way through the kitchen to ultimately make his exit around midnight -- the same time as the engaged couple, who elected the standard route and didn't mind being photographed. For whatever reason, Travis has become camera-shy.

As for Kelce and McCaffrey ... it doesn't seem like they've been tight for very long -- the 49ers running back said back in November he met Travis for the first time during the 2023 offseason. And yet, they're hanging together shortly after the SB.

TMZ INVESTIGATES
TMZ Studios

McCaffrey and Culpo are getting married soon ... so maybe Kelce asked for some pointers on how to pop the question??

Some think Travis and Taylor are gonna marry eventually ... so that'd track. Anyway, Travis is doing his thing and continues to bounce around the country as he enjoys the off-season.

Taylor Swift Made Pop-Tarts For Chiefs O-Line!!! ... Andy Reid Missed Out

Taylor Swift really knew how to win over Travis Kelce's teammates ... 'cause Kansas City head coach Andy Reid just revealed she baked homemade Pop-Tarts for the Chiefs' offensive linemen -- and they were so good, he couldn't get his hands on one!!

Big Red shared the interesting anecdote at the NFL Combine on Tuesday ... when he was asked about the pop superstar's presence around the team.

WON OVER WITH SWEETS
NBC Sports

As it turns out, it was certainly a sweet experience for many ... 'cause Reid said the big boys up front felt the love in the form of some pastries at some point during their championship season.

Big Red explained to "PFT Live" the gesture might have been an attempt to fit in with Kelce's friends ... and he thinks she sincerely enjoyed the "escape" football provided her this season.

Reid -- who pointed out he's known the Swift family for years -- praised how grounded Taylor's continued to be throughout her career ... even though she's the most famous woman on the planet (in his opinion).

TMZ INVESTIGATES
TMZ Studios

Of course, Taylor was present at the majority of Kelce's games this season ... including the Super Bowl, which was a great night for her man's team, and all the postgame celebrations that went down in Vegas.

Back to the Pop-Tarts -- Reid said he missed out on the treats ... as Taylor's gift went right to the linemen, who devoured every last one.

Eminem Screw Fancy Schmancy Smartphones ... Loyal To My BlackBerry!!!

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.

We're not sure how well he's maneuvering on his company's website though ... BlackBerry shut down its network in January 2022 -- it has super limited functionality!!!

el PRESIDENTE BIDEN come en un lugar mexicano Y deja veinte dólares por un burrito

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.

"ahí viene el presidente"
TMZ.com

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!

Una última cosa... CJ's está justo al lado de la calle Obama, ¿qué te parece?

President Biden Hits Up Mexican Joint in L.A. Leaves $20 Tip for Breakfast Burrito

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.

Presidential Posse
TMZ.com

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.

TMZ INVESTIGATES
TMZ Studios

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!

One last note ... CJ's here is actually right off of Obama Blvd. -- how 'bout that?!?

Le roban a una Chica Exploradora Que vendía galletas en un Walmart de Texas

el momento del robo

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.

Ojalá todo salga bien con las chicas.
