While her Miami casa was being ransacked, Mexican pop star Paulina Rubio was spotted leaving Madrid restaurant Casa Lucio with her husband this weekend.

The 38-year-old will have a hard time taking a siesta in peace, since the alleged burglar stole keys to her house and a remote control to the front gate.

Kanye West rolled into the Original Pancake House in Chicago this morning for a little flap-jack action with the regular folk ... but it was the lady he brought to breakfast that got everyone talkin!

The lady scarfin' down breakfast with K was Amber Rose -- the girlfriend he reportedly just broke up with.
We're told the two were extremely nice to staff and patrons during the meal -- but they weren't seen doing "anything couply" during the meal.
In case you're wondering what Kanye's breakfast of champions contains -- one omelet, an order of strawberry pancakes -- and extra whipped cream.
Who's hungry?!

Britney Spears may have phased out the pink wig, her British accent, daily panty shots and her overall sense of train wreckery, but some things never change -- girl is still lovin' it at McDonalds.

Mickey D's may only have chicken nuggets -- but Brit Brit was definitely serving up a healthy helping of legs.

Hell hath no fury like a chicken lover scorned -- as you'll see in this lawsuit filed by people who are pissed over KFC's free chicken giveaway.
James Asanuma just filed the suit on behalf of KFC fans everywhere, saying the chain's May giveaway was nothing short of a scam to deceive its customers into spending more dough.
The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, says KFC promised everyone "2 pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit" -- but the promotion, which was promoted on the "Oprah Winfrey Show," turned out to be so popular they couldn't meet the demand.
And that's when the biscuit hit the fan.
The suit says that because KFC couldn't dish out the food as promised, they were forced to give vouchers for free food in the future.
The suit says this "bait and switch" caused customers to incur "travel costs, paper and printing costs, postage, the money they spent on other food items at KFC on visits when they had intended to redeem the Coupon ... and the loss of the value of the promised Meal."
James is suing KFC, because he's hungry for a little payback.

... on his diet.

Bill Clinton -- famous for his love of fast food ... and there's a Phil Hartman "SNL" skit to prove it. But ever since his heart bypass surgery in 2004, eating the deep fried stuff would just be asking for trouble.
So yesterday in D.C., with the Golden Arches of McDonald's looming behind him as he talked basketball, think he really wanted to talk double teams ... or double cheeseburgers?

A box of chocolates, a dozen roses ... or an Italian restaurant in the Hamptons -- not all gifts for the wife are created equal.
Sources tell us Billy Joel is looking to buy his wife Katie Lee the aforementioned Italian restaurant, and we're told he's eying a spot in Sag Harbour, NY.
Katie Lee, who is four years older than her stepdaughter Alexa Ray, is a chef in her own right and served as the first host of Bravo's "Top Chef."
And now a snippet from Billy's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"...
"A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place"

Barack Obama holds the power to stimulate the economy with the tip of his tongue -- and in the case of a burger joint in Virginia, his tongue literally quadrupled their business!!!

After B.O. and Joe Biden rolled through Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, VA back in May, people began lining up down the block to get a taste of a burger fit for a Prez. .
According to the burger joint's owner -- business shot up so much they were able to hire 25 new staff members and even open a satellite restaurant three doors down for the overflow!
Check out that burger -- Obama clearly has good taste.

Barack Obama was definitely in the mood to play a little "just the tip" with the cashier at Five Guys burger joint last week -- as in, dude totally let her keep the change!

TMZ talked to the lady who took the $72.40 order from the Prez, and she tells us he let her keep the extra $7.60 from the $80 he threw down.
It ain't much -- but how many of you actually tip for fast food?!

Change finally did come -- and it was $7.60.

If you feel the need to treat your staff to a lunch-run worthy of the President of the United States, you're gonna need a cool $72.40 -- 'cause that's exactly how much Barack Obama spent during that NBC televised jaunt to Five Guys burger joint.
TMZ locked down the entire order -- down to the toppings -- an order that Obama paid for with cold, hard American cash.
- Cheeseburger with mustard, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeno (for OBAMA)
- Little cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup
- Bacon cheeseburger with mustard, relish, onion
- Little hamburger with lettuce and tomato
- Grilled cheese with everything
- Cheeseburger with mushroom, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard
- 2 reg cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, pickles
- Cheeseburger with ketchup (for Brian Williams)
- 10 orders of fries
Anyone else hungry?!
