As it turns out, Gypsy says that has happened ... naming one of the Jonas Bros. as having reached out and telling her to roll through for an event in January, which she couldn't make.

Selena Gomez parece muy emocionada por el nuevo libro de su novio Benny Blanco, dándole un gran bocado a un sabroso pastel en su honor.

La actriz publicó una interesante foto en su Instagram el martes, mostrando su bajada y lamiendo un pastel que se hizo en honor al libro de cocina de Benny, "Open Wide", que acaba de salir a la venta esta semana. Se puede ver una foto de Benny representada en el pastel.

La razón por la que esto es relevante es porque la foto que Selena publicó -y otras que están circulando- ¡la muestran lamiendo la entrepierna Benny en el pastel!

Selena Gomez seems really excited about her boyfriend Benny Blanco's new book, tucking into a tasty cake shaped just like it -- and going in tongue first, aiming below the belt.

The reason that's relevant is because the picture Selena posted -- and others that are circulating of this interesting moment -- shows her licking cake-Benny's crotch!

Customers enjoying their meals freaked out at the sight of the critters scurrying around their feet. One diner shot a cell phone video of a small rat racing across the floor, but it was dark in color, poking a hole in McNally's description.

Scheana Shay estuvo sirviendo bebidas en un Chili's Grill & Bar esta semana, volviendo a sus raíces como camarera, ¡antes de saltar a la fama!

En videos obtenidos por TMZ, la estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" fue vista luciendo un uniforme de Chili's el miércoles por la noche mientras llevaba comida a las mesas y preparaba bebidas detrás de la barra en el Valle de San Fernando de Los Ángeles.

Fue bastante surrealista de ver, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que Scheana solía trabajar en Chili's antes de saltar a Hollywood con el exitoso programa de Bravo.

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.

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.
