Celebrity chef Curtis Stone says foodies should be wary of McDonald's' new Double Big Mac ... and he thinks the mega burger should come with its own freakin' warning.
Curtis joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to talk about the Golden Arches' super-sized creation, which Australians have been chowin' down on for a while, and is about to return to the U.S. for a limited engagement.
According to Curtis, this 4-patty beast is an eat-at-your-own-risk kind of situation, and should have a health warning attached to it ... but his concerns don't stop at the caloric intake -- which is around 740 calories, for the record.
Curtis thinks McDonald's has often provided a lack of food information to its customers -- namely the "100% beef," which could be a mixture of all kinds of meat cuts -- and folks should always know exactly what they're ingesting.
He also thinks companies like Mickey D's dominate the country by adhering to peoples' cravings, but Curtis tells us why that's doing a lot more harm than good.
BTW, Curtis' new show, "Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone," kicks off next week on QVC and HSN+, but we're guessing his take on the Double Big Mac won't be on the menu.

El famoso chef Curtis Stone dice que los amantes de la comida deberían tener cuidado con el nuevo Double Big Mac de McDonald's y cree que la mega hamburguesa debería venir con su propia advertencia.
Curtis se unió a nosotros el miércoles en "TMZ Live" para hablar de la nueva creación de la empresa de los Arcos Dorados, que los australianos han estado comiendo por un tiempo y que está a punto de regresar a los Estados Unidos para un compromiso limitado.
Según Curtis, esta bestia de 4 hamburguesas tiene sus riesgos y debería tener una advertencia de salud adjunta. Aunque sus preocupaciones no se detienen con la ingesta de calorías, que es de alrededor de 740, para que conste.
Curtis cree que McDonald's a menudo ha proporcionado poca información sobre los alimentos a sus clientes, como por ejemplo que el "100% carne de vacuno" podría ser una mezcla de todo tipo de cortes de carne. Él piensa que las personas siempre deberían saber exactamente lo que están ingiriendo.
También cree que las marcas como Mickey D's dominan el país por adherirse a los antojos de la gente, pero Curtis dice que eso está haciendo más daño que bien.
Por cierto, el nuevo programa de Curtis, "Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone", comienza la próxima semana en QVC y HSN +, pero suponemos que su opinión sobre el doble Big Mac no estará en el menú.
Alan Ruck Cane at Globes Not Crash-Related ... I Had Knee Surgery!!!

Exclusive

Alan Ruck was seen walking around with support at the Golden Globes this past weekend -- and while we know exactly where your mind's going on why ... there's another explanation.
The 'Succession' star was on hand Sunday in L.A. for the big award show, and folks immediately noticed he was using a cane to get around the red carpet. He didn't say anything about it in the moment -- but folks thought this was car crash-related.
10/31/23
Remember, Alan got into a nasty wreck out here in Hollywood when he lost control of his fancy electric truck and smashed through a wall a pizza parlor -- which caused a big scene and a lot of damage.
While Alan was seemingly uninjured at the time -- he did walk around with a knee sleeve in the days after ... and there, too, people thought he'd gotten a little banged up in the accident.
Now, here he is with another assist ... and the speculation has picked up all over again. Welp, we've got some answers -- and this isn't what it seems. Sources close to Alan tell TMZ his cane is actually helping him with an unrelated ailment he's been dealing with lately.
We're told Alan underwent a full knee replacement surgery just 3 and a half weeks ago -- this after suffering from arthritis for some time now. So, that's why he was using it.
10/31/23
If it wasn't clear from that ... no, this cane was not a fashion statement -- we're told AR absolutely needs it, and he's putting it to good use early and often. It's interesting (and miraculous) that he wasn't seriously hurt during the October wreck.
Considering how high impact it was, you could imagine him being hurt -- but he's just on the mend for another thing ... and we certainly wish him well!

El bastón de Alan Ruck en los Globos de Oro no fue consecuencia de un accidente

Alan Ruck fue visto caminando con apoyo en los Globos de Oro el pasado fin de semana, y aunque sabemos exactamente cuál pudo ser la razón... hay otra explicación.
La estrella de 'Succession' estuvo presente el domingo en Los Ángeles para la gran entrega de premios y la gente inmediatamente se dio cuenta de que estaba usando un bastón para moverse por la alfombra roja. Él no dijo nada al respecto en ese momento, pero la gente pensó que esto estaba relacionado con el accidente de carro.
10/31/23
Recordemos que Alan se metió en un feo accidente aquí en Hollywood cuando perdió el control de su camión eléctrico de lujo y se estrelló contra la pared de una pizzería, causando una gran escena y un montón de daños.
Mientras Alan resultó aparentemente ileso aquella vez, se le pudo ver algo magullado los días posteriores.
Ahora la especulación vuelve... pero tenemos algunas respuestas. Fuentes cercanas a Alan le dicen TMZ que su bastón en realidad lo está ayudando con una dolencia no relacionada que ha estado tratando últimamente.
Nos dicen que Alan se sometió a una cirugía de reemplazo de rodilla completa hace solo 3 semanas y media, esto después de sufrir de artritis desde hace algún tiempo. Así que por eso lo estaba usando.
10/31/23
No, este bastón no era una declaración de moda, nos informan que Alan realmente lo necesita, y así lo está haciendo. Es interesante (y milagroso) que no resultara gravemente herido durante el accidente de octubre.
Teniendo en cuenta lo fuerte que fue el impacto, uno podría imaginarse que resultara herido, pero se está recuperando, ¡y desde luego le deseamos lo mejor!
AUDIO DEL 911 DEL INCENDIO DE TYREEK HILL Despacho Advirtió A Quien Llamó … “¡¡¡NO INTENTE APAGAR EL FUEGO!!!”
Una mujer que estuvo en el lugar del incendio en la casa de Tyreek Hill la semana pasada parecía querer apagar las llamas por sí misma… pero fue advertida por las autoridades que sería una mala idea.
La conversación se puede escuchar en el recién publicado audio del 911, obtenido por TMZ Sports … Cuando una mujer no identificada le dijo al remitente que se había desatado un incendio en la mansión en Florida del astro de la NFL.
En la llamada, se escucha a la mujer explicando que había un incendio en la casa… antes de preguntar, “¿Debería echar agua allí?”
Sin embargo, el oficial comentó: “No. Necesito que saque a todos afuera. Necesito que lleguen a un lugar seguro.”
El incendio en la casa fue causado por un niño jugando con un encendedor, declaran las autoridades.
Quien llamó finalmente salió de la casa… antes de preguntar nuevamente si debería intentar apagar el fuego por sí misma.
“No intente apagar el fuego”, se escucha al remitente diciéndole, “y no saque nada que esté ardiendo, ¿de acuerdo?”.
Durante la llamada, la mujer hizo referencia al tamaño del infierno… diciendo en un momento, “se está volviendo más grande y más grande”.
Afortunadamente, señaló que “nadie está herido” y “todo está bien”.
Los bomberos llegaron eventualmente al lugar y apagaron las llamas aproximadamente una hora después. Hill no estaba presente en el momento en que comenzó el incendio, aunque dejó temprano la práctica de los Miami Dolphins para hacerse cargo del problema.
En cuanto a la causa del incendio, las autoridades dijeron la semana pasada que un niño que jugaba con un encendedor lo causó accidentalmente.
A pesar de la distracción, Hill continuó jugando en el crucial juego de los Dolphins contra los Bills el domingo por la noche, y logró una anotación.
Farrah Abraham Sues Club Security Guard for Assault After Different Guard Sued Her Over 2022 Clash

Exclusive Details

UPDATE
7:47 PM PT -- Not shockingly, Farrah Abraham has a much different memory of what happened at the restaurant/club, and, in fact, she's filed her own lawsuit over the 2022 incident.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah's suing because a security guard named George Velazquez allegedly "flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll." We can't confirm Velazquez is the guy seen pinning her down in the video from that night ... but, in the suit, she does say it was captured on camera.
She also claims he held her down with his knee and repeatedly said, "You are going to jail" -- a description that matches up with the video.
Farrah is suing Velazquez and the venue, Grandmaster Recorders, for assault, battery and emotional distress.
Farrah Abraham is being taken to court by a security guard who claims she slapped her back in 2022.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah is being sued by a female security guard -- claiming she suffered lost wages and incurred a bunch of medical expenses for what she says went down 2 years ago.
She says she was working at Grandmaster Recorders when she was advised by other security officers of a fight on the roof, and was working on escorting Farrah off the property "due to her assaultive behavior with other customers."
The docs say it was during the escort that things turned physical -- with Farrah allegedly striking the security guard on the side of the face, which she says left her with an eye injury, other facial injuries, and psychological trauma.
As we reported, Farrah was accused of acting belligerently at the venue and was asked to leave, but refused. We were told paramedics on the scene called cops for backup, and a citizen's arrest for battery was ultimately made.
Our sources say Farrah was quickly released after being taken into custody ... and the security guard is now seeking unspecified damages over it all.
We reached out to Farrah for comment ... so far, no word back.

A woman who was at the scene of the fire at Tyreek Hill's home last week appeared to want try to extinguish the flames herself ... but she was warned by law enforcement that that would be a bad idea.
The conversation can be heard in newly released 911 audio, obtained by TMZ Sports ... when an unidentified woman told a dispatcher that a blaze had broken out at the NFL star's Florida mansion.
In the call, you can hear the woman explaining that there was a fire in the home ... before she asked, "Should I throw water in there?"
The official, however, told her, "No. I need for you to get everyone outside. I need for you guys to get to safety."
Tyreek Hill House Fire Caused By Child Playing With Lighter, Officials Say
The caller eventually did make her way out of the home ... before she seemed to ask again if she should try to put out the blaze on her own.
"Do not try to put the fire out," the dispatcher can be heard telling her, "and do not carry out anything that's on fire, OK?"
Several times throughout the call, the woman referenced the size of the inferno ... saying at one point, "It's getting bigger and bigger."
Thankfully, she did note that "no one's injured" and "everything is fine."
Firefighters eventually arrived on the scene and put out the flames roughly an hour or so after the call was placed. Hill was not present at the time that it started, though he left Miami Dolphins practice early to get a handle on the issue.
As for the cause of the blaze, officials said last week a child who was playing with a lighter accidentally caused it all.
Despite the distraction, Hill went on to play in the Dolphins' pivotal game against the Bills on Sunday night -- and scored a touchdown.

The Philadelphia Eagles not only lost to the Giants on Sunday, their star quarterback nearly lost function of an important digit on his throwing hand too.

Replays showed the collision with the Giants star was so violent, it popped Hurts' finger right out of place.
To his credit, Hurts hardly flinched ... and after a short trip to the medical tent, he somehow returned to the field.
A few minutes later, though, head coach Nick Sirianni pulled Hurts and other key starters as it became apparent the Eagles were going to lose the game.
After the 27-10 loss, Hurts said his injury felt "OK," but he wasn't immediately sure if he'd be available for Philadelphia's Monday Night Football playoff game against the Buccaneers.

Mary Lou Retton I Was Almost Put on Life Support ... During Pneumonia Battle
Mary Lou Retton is doing her first interview since being released from the hospital last year amid a scary battle with pneumonia -- and now, we're learning it was nearly deadly.
The ex-Olympic champion is set to do a sit-down with Hoda Kotb of "Today" this week, and a teaser clip was released ... which features the images of her we've seen publicly for a long while, and it's somewhat startling to see that she has breathing tubes hooked up to her.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Hoda notes that MLR is still on oxygen, which Mary confirms ... only to then discuss how awkward and difficult it is for her to discuss her health scare in the public eye like this.
She then makes another revelation ... saying she's grateful to be here, 'cause for a while during her hospitalization -- Mary didn't think she'd make it. As she notes here, they were on the cusp of placing her on life support, confirming the seriousness of her condition.
Her family members had been telegraphing this to us at the time ... discussing setbacks during her recuperation, and how scared her loved ones were for her, asking for prayers. Remember, Mary Lou had contracted a rare form of pneumonia -- which took its toll.
Thankfully, Mary Lou was able to fight back to good enough health to be released -- and now, it looks like she continues to be on the mend as she gets to 100% again at home.
The full interview is set to air on Monday ... we'll be watching.

A swimmer who won gold during the 1972 Olympics shortly after suffering from a collapsed lung has his collection of medals going up for auction.
Steve Genter's set of gold, silver, and bronze medals from the '72 Summer Games in Munich are estimated to go for more than $50K during RR Auction's Olympic-themed auction.
The American athlete risked his life to compete in the games ... after undergoing minor surgery for a partly collapsed lung just one week before competing -- which was said to have been brought on by a persistent cough from bronchitis and altitude changes during the cramped plane ride to Munich.
Steve went on to win the gold medal in the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay, silver in the 200-meter freestyle, and bronze in the 400-meter freestyle.
Steven Genter told the auction house... "For most of my life, the medals represented a defining moment in time. Each medal is uniquely intertwined with the Olympic experience, making those memories lifelong. I get goosebumps every time I recall those moments."
Steve gifted the medals to help someone whom he cares deeply about, who wished to remain anonymous. This person will pocket the proceeds. The winning bidder will also get a one-on-one call with Steve.
Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at the auction house, gushed of the extraordinary narrative behind the medals ... saying they didn't just symbolize winning ... but the character and heart that defines a true champion.
The auction kick-started on Dec. 15 and will end on Jan. 18.

Un nadador que ganó el oro durante los Juegos Olímpicos de 1972 poco después de sufrir un colapso pulmonar puso su colección de medallas a subasta.
Se estima que el conjunto de medallas de oro, plata y bronce de Steve Genter correspondientes a los Juegos Olímpicos de 1972 en Múnich superará los 50.000 dólares en la subasta de RR Auction, con la temática olímpica.
El atleta estadounidense arriesgó su vida al competir en los juegos solo una semana después de someterse a una cirugía menor por un pulmón parcialmente colapsado. Se dijo que tenía una tos persistente por la bronquitis y los cambios de altitud durante el viaje en avión a Munich.
Steve ganó la medalla de oro en el relevo de 4 x 200 metros estilo libre, la de plata en 200 metros estilo libre y la de bronce en 400 metros estilo libre.
Steven Genter le dijo a la casa de subastas: "Durante la mayor parte de mi vida, las medallas representaron un momento decisivo en el tiempo. Cada medalla está entrelazada de forma única con la experiencia olímpica, haciendo que esos recuerdos sean para toda la vida. Se me pone la piel de gallina cada vez que recuerdo esos momentos".
Steve donó las medallas para ayudar a una persona que aprecia profundamente y que desea mantener en el anonimato. Esta se embolsará la recaudación. El ganador de la puja también tendrá una entrevista personal con Steve.
Bobby Livingston, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la casa de subastas, se deshizo en elogios hacia la extraordinaria narrativa que hay detrás de las medallas, afirmando que no solo simbolizan la victoria, sino que el carácter y el corazón que definen a un verdadero campeón.
La subasta comenzó el 15 de diciembre y finalizará el 18 de enero.
MSNBC Host Chokes Up on Jan 6. Anniversary ... New Fugitives Captured
A MSNBC host choked back tears live on the air while talking to a cop who was on the front lines of Jan. 6 -- and in other news ... new fugitives are in custody 3 years to the day.
Anchor Jonathan Capehart brought former Metro D.C. officer Michael Fanone on his Saturday morning program, and after recapping what had happened on 1/6/21 and introducing him ... JC got emotional on camera before he passed things off to his guest.
Watch ... you can tell the heartfelt moment wasn't lost on Fanone, who also seemed to be stirred. Capehart took out a handkerchief and wiped his face a bit as he gathered himself.
Like we said, Fanone was one of the many officers on the scene on Jan. 6 -- and he nearly lost his life as MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop Congress's certification of the 2020 election ... this after Donald Trump gave a speech earlier in the day.
Fanone has made the rounds on cable news and on Capitol Hill in the years since ... relaying his harrowing near-death experience and denouncing the rioters' motives and actions.
His story continues to touch hearts ... including Capehart's, who broke down in front of him.
BTW, the Jan. 6 arrests continue to this day too ... including 3 new ones that were just announced Saturday by the FBI. The feds say they've captured a trio of fugitives whom they'd been looking for since '21 ... Jonathan and Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson.
They got busted hiding out in FL ... and now, they face serious charges related to the event.

Presentador de MSNBC Se quiebra en el aniversario del 6 de enero... Nuevos fugitivos capturados
Un presentador de MSNBC se ahogó en lágrimas en vivo mientras estaba al aire hablando con un policía que estuvo en la primera línea el 6 de enero, al mismo tiempo, nuevos fugitivos quedaron en custodia a 3 años de aquel día.
El presentador Jonathan Capehart invitó al exoficial de Metro de D.C. Michael Fanone a su programa del sábado por la mañana, y después de recapitular lo que pasó el 6 de enero de 2021 y presentarlo, se emocionó en cámara antes de pasar a la entrevista con su invitado.
Miren, se puede ver que el emotivo momento también conmovió a Fanone, quien también parecía estar emocionado. Capehart sacó un pañuelo y se limpió un poco la cara mientras se recomponía.
Como dijimos, Fanone fue uno de los muchos oficiales que estuvo en la escena el 6 de enero y casi pierde la vida cuando los partidarios de Make America Great Again irrumpieron en el Capitolio en un intento por detener la proclamación del Congreso de las elecciones de 2020. Esto, después de que Donald Trump diera un discurso temprano aquel día.
Fanone se ha paseado por las noticias y el Capitolio estos años, relatando su desgarradora experiencia y denunciando los motivos y acciones de los alborotadores.
Su historia sigue tocando corazones, incluyendo el de Capehart, que se quebró delante de él.
Por cierto, los arrestos del 6 de enero continúan hasta el día de hoy, incluyendo tres nuevos que acaban de ser anunciados este sábado por el FBI. Los federales dicen que han capturado a un trío de fugitivos a los que buscaban desde el 21 ... Jonathan y Olivia Pollock y Joseph Hutchinson.
Fueron atrapados mientras estaban escondidos en Florida y ahora, se enfrentan a graves cargos relacionados con el evento.
Ataque a una jueza Delincuente volador está aislado y tras las rejas

El delincuente volador que atacó a una jueza de Las Vegas está pagando por sus acciones en más de un sentido. No solo ha sido castigado con un montón de nuevos cargos, también está aislado y en solitario.
Fuentes policiales le dicen TMZ que Deobra Redden ha sido trasladado a una celda en solitario después de su violento arrebato, en el que saltó sobre el banco de la jueza Mary Kay Holthus principios de esta semana, para agarrarla y tratar de maltratarla, mientras el personal del tribunal se apresuraba a ayudarla.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Redden fue inmediatamente clasificado como un recluso "2C", que es la clasificación más restrictiva en la cárcel del condado de Clark.
Esto significa que Redden está solo en una celda, sin ninguna interacción con otros reclusos. También come solo, dentro de ella y puede estar muy poco tiempo fuera.
El arrebato de Redden fue impactante. El delincuente estaba en la corte por una condena anterior por intento de agresión con lesiones corporales sustanciales. Su abogado había pedido la libertad condicional a la jueza Holthus, pero ella optó por condenarlo 3 veces por el delito en su lugar, lo que gatilló su enfado y dio lugar al ataque.
La jueza Holthus resultó en general ilesa, pero sí conmocionada por el incidente. Otro empleado de la corte requirió puntos de sutura para cerrar una herida en la cabeza.
En cuanto a Redden, fue castigado con una serie de nuevos delitos por el ataque, incluyendo la coacción con fuerza o amenaza de fuerza, extorsión, intimidación de los funcionarios públicos, otros con el uso de la fuerza, el desprecio de la seguridad de la persona / propiedad, y agresión por parte de un preso, en libertad condicional o no.
Judge Attack Flying Felon Now Isolated Behind Bars

The flying felon who attacked a Vegas judge is paying for his actions in more ways than one ... not only has he been hit with a bunch more charges, he's also now in solitary.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Deobra Redden has been moved to a solo cell following his violent outburst where he leaped over the bench at Judge Mary Kay Holthus earlier this week, punching her in the head and pulling her hair while court staffers rushed to her aid.
Our sources say Redden was immediately classified as a "2C" inmate, which is the most restrictive classification in the Clark County Jail.
This means Redden is solo in a cell, without any interactions with other inmates. He also eats alone, inside the cell ... and has very limited time outside.
The whole thing was shocking ... Redden was in court for a previous conviction for attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. His attorney had asked Judge Holthus for parole, but she chose to sentence the 3-time felon instead -- which set him off and led to the attack.
Judge Holthus was mostly unharmed, but shaken up by the incident. Another court employee required 25 stitches to close a gash on his head.
As for Redden ... he was hit with a slew of new felonies for the attack -- including coercion with force or threat of force, extortion, intimidating public officers/others with the use of force, disregard of the safety of person/property, and battery by prisoner, probationer, or parolee.

Lamar Odom dice que la ketamina ha sido una herramienta exitosa para él y que lo ha ayudado a combatir sus problemas de adicción, esto después de que se revelara que el fármaco estaba en el cuerpo de Matthew Perry cuando murió.
Conversamos con Lamar afuera de Oxy Dental el jueves en Lomita, California (de su propiedad), y habló sobre la controversia en torno a la terapia de ketamina tras el informe del forense sobre la muerte de Matthew.
Lamar dice que la terapia de Matthew era similar a la suya y de acuerdo a su experiencia, funciona, pero hay serias condiciones. Para empezar, los usuarios no deben conducir.
La ketamina se ha utilizado para la depresión y la ansiedad, pero es más comúnmente utilizada como anestésico en los quirófanos.
11/3/23
Como informamos, Matthew fue encontrado en su jacuzzi en octubre, donde se declaró su muerte. El examinador médico del condado de Los Ángeles afirmó que tenía altos niveles de ketamina en su sistema, que lo dejaron inconsciente.
El Dr. Zaid Fadul, que ha prescrito la ketamina a sus pacientes, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live", el mes pasado y nos explicó por qué era engañoso que el forense apuntara con el dedo a la droga.
En cuanto a Lamar, su nuevo consultorio dental, que acepta todos los seguros y ayuda a los más necesitados, lo está manteniendo muy ocupado, al igual que sus varios centros de rehabilitación.
