Kim Kardashian & Kanye West GET BENCHED Forced to Wait for a Table!
The folks at Shibuya Sushi have cojones the size of Kim Kardashian's butt cheeks ... because they had the chutzpah to make KK and Kanye West sit outside and actually WAIT FOR A TABLE. The humanity!!!
The couple stopped off in Calabasas after Kim's appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" ... thinking they'd be able to grab a quick bite to eat. But the restaurant was full and Kimye was forced to hit the bench out front and wait ... for a whopping 30 minutes!
To add insult to injury, when they finally got seated ... it was at a table by the window which ain't great when you're photographed as much as they are.
FYI ... Shibuya Sushi is very well-reviewed on Yelp, but these pics are the best advertising ever.
Our sushi is so good, even Kimye will wait for it!

Jameis Winston Sponsored By Publix 'We Don't Hold a Grudge'
He stole their shellfish ... but Jameis Winston is now officially sponsored by Publix (by way of the Tampa Bay Bucs) ... and the market says they're all about BURYING THE HATCHET.
In fact, it was 1 year ago this week that Winston was busted stealing crab legs ... and as fate would have it, Publix happens to be the official supermarket sponsor of the Bucs.
So, how do store officials feel about teaming up with a guy who jacked their seafood?
"We support our hometown team. We welcome Jameis Winston to the Bucs. We don't hold any grudge against him."
A rep for Publix adds, "We've moved forward, we're past this. We hope Jameis has done the same, and is moving forward."
"Part of our affiliation with the team is to do the right thing for the community. If Jameis has an idea that would make the community better, [we'd] gladly hear out his proposal."
"This is a great opportunity for him to learn from his mistakes. He's going to have a chance to do a lot of good now."
Jameis Winston Backtracks After Crab Leg Pic ... 1st NFL Blunder?!
Didn't take long for Jameis Winston to make his first NFL mistake -- deleting his crab leg celebration pic from Instagram hours after he posted it .... and we're guessing he was INSTRUCTED to get rid of it.
In case you didn't see it, Jameis posted a pic showing him eating a big ol' plate of crab legs -- clearly mocking his whole shoplifting arrest thing from last year.
But just like that, it was gone.
BTW -- the timing of the pic is interesting since the NCAA has relaunched an investigation into the incident ... since Winston claims he had a "hook up" at Publix that gave him free food.
No word if it was the Bucs or Jameis' agent or lawyer who told Winston to pull the pic down -- or maybe he had second thoughts on his own ... but clearly, he realized it was a bad idea ... or else the pic would still be up.

Weight Watchers Founder Dies at 91
Jean Nidetch -- the woman who founded Weight Watchers -- has died.
We're told the 91-year-old passed away in the Ft. Lauderdale area early Wednesday morning.
Jean came up with the groundbreaking idea in 1961, not to start a business, but to help her in her own struggle. She had been overweight since early childhood, and at the time she was 5'7" and weighed 214 lbs.
Jean started following basic tips ... don't skip meals, eat fish 5 times a week, veggies, etc. She soon started inviting friends over and they would talk in her living room about their common goals.
It caught fire, and in 1963, Weight Watchers was born, and Jean became a celebrity, even appearing on Johnny Carson's show.
In 1978 Weight Watchers was sold to the Heinz Co. for $71 million. Even after she retired, she was known as the first lady of Weight Watchers International.
Jean was living in a one bedroom apartment and, by the way, she wasn't a slave to diet. She drank regular sodas, stocked the fridge with Klondike bars and liked Mallomars, which she kept in her laundry hamper.
Jean died of natural causes.

Manny Pacquiao ran away from home at the age of 12 ... when he caught his father eating his pet dog ... this according to his trainer Freddie Roach.

When Manny realized what had happened, he ran away from home -- and began to live on the streets.

Jameis Winston SHOWERED IN CRAB LEGS ... If Drafted By Bucs
Jameis Winston will NEVER have to steal shellfish ever again ... 'cause a Tampa restaurant is promising to hook up Winston with more crabs than a Tijuana hooker -- as long as the Bucs draft him #1.
Here's the deal ... there's this place in Tampa called Skipper's Smokehouse that's FAMOUS for it's crab legs -- and the owner of the joint happens to be an FSU alum who graduated in '68.
The people at Skipper's told us they're well aware of Jameis' penchant for crab -- and want the QB to know, if he signs with the Bucs ... they're gonna "hook him up" with all the legs he can eat.
Of course, he'll be a multi-millionaire who can afford whatever he wants ... but hey, free stuff is how the rich stay rich.

Jameis Winston Crab Leg Explanation I Thought I Got 'Hooked Up'
Jameis Winston says he's NO CRAB LEG THIEF -- claiming the only reason he walked out of the grocery store without paying for 'em was because he THOUGHT an employee had "hooked him up."
Winston's explanation was featured on ESPN's "Draft Academy" ... a documentary-style show which followed the QB into a meeting with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
During the meeting, Winston says he wasn't so much stealing ... as much as he was blatantly violating NCAA rules by accepting free stuff.
For someone who reportedly crushed it on the Wonderlic test, this is really, really, really stupid.

Tim Tebow Philly Cheesesteak Joints Confused What the Hell Are Eagles Thinking?!
Two major Philadelphia rivals -- Pat's and Geno's -- are finally uniting on something ... they both have no idea what the Eagles were thinking in signing Tim Tebow.
We spoke with managers from both of the legendary Philly cheesesteak joints (Anthony from Geno's and Tommy from Pat's) ... who tell us they're just trying to make sense of the whole thing.
Anthony from Geno's -- "We’re all very confused by this whole off-season. Last time I checked you have to be able to throw in order to be a successful QB."
Tommy from Pat's -- "We can only play one QB at a time, and now we have one that hasn't played since 2012!? Does he still know how to play? I don’t know where Chip Kelly is going with this one."
Despite the confusion, both guys say they wish Tebow nothing but the best -- and have each personally promised Tim a free sando if/when he drops by.

Bobby Flay My Wife's Whining Over a Perfectly Valid Prenup
Whether it's chump change or not, Bobby Flay says his estranged wife Stephanie March willingly signed their prenup so she has to live by it.
Sources close to Bobby -- who filed for divorce last week -- say the chef doesn't understand how Stephanie's lawyer can say the prenup is unenforceable and immoral since she had every right to reject it 10 years ago. After all, Bobby had been married twice before and merely tried to protect his assets and business in case the 3rd time was not a charm.
As we reported, Stephanie gets $5k a month in spousal support plus a million bucks for rights to the house along with moving expenses.
Bobby also takes issue with Stephanie's lawyer, who claims the famous chef is trying to bully his estranged wife into a settlement. We're told Bobby is the one who feels bullied and threatened by Stephanie's lawyer who is threatening to publicly air dirty laundry, including allegations of marital infidelity.
We're told Bobby is willing to reach some sort of compromise, but Stephanie's making that difficult by continuing to attack him and his character.
