Internet cooking sensation Auntie Fee, also known as Chef Sista Girl, is fighting for her life after a massive heart attack.

We were first told by Fee's nephew Sosten Price and sister Ayesha that the 59-year-old died Tuesday after the medical emergency. However, we've now learned she's on life support surrounded by family at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center after being rushed by ambulance.

Auntie Fee, whose full name is Felicia O'Dell, went viral in 2014 after posting her recipes for "good ass chicken" and "sweet treats for the kids." She went on to appear in the movie "Barbershop 3." She also came to TMZ to hook us up with her recipes.

[[omnivirt:video id="6699"]]

Model Hailey Clauson is all about the plus-size model movement, but only from the sidelines ... based on what she told us about her birthday celebration, anyway.

We got Hailey at LAX -- she turned 22 on Tuesday -- and she made it clear she wouldn't be indulging too much ... due to work. Translation: I don't wanna look fat for a photo shoot!

Still, she's clearly happy hers isn't the only body type killing it in modeling these days.

Bottom line? Hailey's gonna have her cake, and eat it too. Later.

Papa John's Sued Your Pizza Company Gives Me Anxiety

Papa John's irritated the hell out of a man after he says the pizza chain bombarded him with text messages even though he never ordered a slice ... and now he's suing them for bugging him.

Jonathan Anozie claims Papa John's started texting him in March offering pizza specials. Jonathan claims he got a text offering a deal for 2 large pizzas with up to 5 toppings for $9.99 each. Jonathan says he replied "STOP" to get them to cancel the automated texts, to no avail.

He says he now suffers from a significant anxiety, frustration and annoyance.

2 Chainz I'm Cleaning House at My Tapas Joint After Tanking Inspection

Published | Updated

2 Chainz was so pissed after his ATL restaurant bombed a health inspection, he immediately 86'd at least 5 rookie managers from the joint ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the rapper tell us he immediately hired new bosses at Escobar Restaurant and Tapas -- all of whom have at least 5 years restaurant experience. We're told Chainz made the quick change on the heels of the joint scoring 59 out of 100 last week with the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Escobar just opened in December, and it's his first venture into the restaurant biz. We're told 2 Chainz feels the problem was hiring inexperienced people to run his place. He thinks his new hired guns will clean house ... literally.

The health dept. says it found raw hamburgers stored over collared greens, raw shrimp/fish over sweet potatoes, and a mold-like substance in the ice machine. Inspectors will be back next week.

A rep for 2 Chainz tells us they've "made major changes to continue to be champions of food safety, service and just plain good food."

Robin Thicke and Son Here's the Water-Guzzling Court Monitor

Published | Updated

Pics have surfaced of Robin Thicke and his son, Julian, at Nobu in Malibu ... the lunch Paula Patton claims was essentially an attempt to bribe the Dept. of Children and Family Services with sushi.

As we reported, Robin's team has scoffed at Paula's claim, and says the monitor -- Mike, who's wearing the hat -- sat at a separate table and only drank water. The monitor is required by the judge to be present the entire time Robin is with his 6-year-old son.

We're told the monitor was sitting at a table with someone from the Dept. of Children and Family Services, who was actually there to monitor the monitor after Paula complained about him. He too, we're told, only drank water.

As for why they went to Nobu ... it's Julian's fav.

Wolfgang was promoting his own 14-piece cookware, and its low low price ... when he expressed shock at how much the competition charges. It was quick, and it was late Saturday night ... so maybe no one noticed.

Clearly, someone's a little slow on the censor button over at HSN.

Justin Bieber That's a Latte Cops

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber made nice with a bunch of cops this weekend by getting 'em hopped up on caffeine.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Biebs took his Lambo for a coffee run Saturday night in Mission Viejo, and happened to show up as a few Orange County Sheriff deputies were waiting too. We're told Justin volunteered to cover their orders.

When even a few more deputies came in -- and happened to be JB fans -- he kept the goodwill going with selfies. Clearly, that photo ban doesn't apply to everyone. Don't worry, the baristas made out too with a $10 tip, we're told.

They chatted for about 15 minutes before Justin bolted ... at posted speed limits, we're sure.

Mike and Ike Co. Sued Customer Claims Candy Shortage in Boxes

Published | Updated

The company that makes Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales -- candy you buy at the movies -- is shortchanging customers and selling them air ... according to a new lawsuit.

A California woman claims she bought a $4 box of Mike and Ikes at a theater, only to discover it was half full of slack-fill -- 46% air. She says she was tricked by the packaging and never would have bought it had she known it wasn't loaded with candy.

The lady thinks it's a giant conspiracy ... the candy is sold in a glass case to keep her from inspecting it, but even if she had been able to shake it ... she still wouldn't have known the box was half empty.

The woman claims she did her own investigation and found that Hot Tamales boxes have the same deception inside -- half full. She goes on to say a competitor candy company that makes Boston Baked Beans fills its boxes to the brim.

A rep for the candy company tells us it will vigorously defend itself from these "baseless allegations."
