Panera Bread Our Mac & Cheese Secret's Blown!!! Tik Tok Vid Gets Worker Fired
Panera Bread got burned by one of its own, according to a former employee who says she got canned for posting a Tik Tok of the restaurant's mac and cheese ... in all its frozen glory.
The video was posted last week and showed someone place a plastic pouch of frozen (😢) mac and cheese in boiling water, remove it and then pour it into a bowl to be served.
Apparently, this is how Panera Bread prepares the mac and cheese. (via TikTok) pic.twitter.com/jUv47TYBhm

Some Panera customers teed off on the clip ... leaving pissed off comments about the chain not dishing freshly cooked fare. Others were more realistic and chalked it up to being standard ops for a fast-food chain.

A Hard Rock Hotel that was under construction collapsed this weekend, leaving at least 1 dead and several others injured.
The implosion happened Saturday morning in New Orleans, when the upper deck of the hotel started to crumble in on itself ... apparently, after a crane fell from up above. The rubble slid off the side of the building in crazy video captured by onlookers in the street.
NOLA officials say at least 1 person is confirmed deceased while at least 18 others were injured and sent to the hospital. The city's fire chief says at least 3 people are unaccounted for -- all of whom are reportedly contractors who were working on-site.
Another hanging crane is said to be unstable at the moment, and more of the building could collapse -- so police and the fire department have cleared neighboring streets and evacuated surrounding buildings. A search-and-rescue operation is currently underway.

Kenyan Runner Eliud Kipchoge 1st-Ever to Finish Marathon In Under 2 Hours!!!
Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge achieved an historic milestone -- becoming the first person to run sub-2 hour marathon ... EVER!!!

Kipchoge completed the monumental feat Saturday in Vienna, running a 26.2-mile path that was specifically charted for this attempt, and as such ... isn't technically viewed as a sanctioned marathon course. Because of that, this new time won't be recognized as a world record -- but still, the guy can say he did it ... clocking in at 1:59:40.
BTW, he holds the official world record for a marathon time at 2:01:39, which he set in Berlin just last year. He came up short on this very same challenge -- dubbed the INEOS 1:59 Challenge -- a couple years back, finishing at 2:00:25.
Viral Dancer Arrested For Disorderly Conduct ... After Twerking on Moving Car!!!
The Tennessee woman who went viral after video showed her twerking on top of a moving vehicle just got busted for her wild dance moves.
Myscellent Shelton-Cox was booked into a Nashville jail Friday morning on one charge of disorderly conduct.
In the viral video ... you see the 23-year-old twerking and doing the splits on the roof of a silver Ford Mustang as it slowly travels down a residential street in the Nashville area.
It's pretty crazy ... after the video started spreading like wildfire after her ride last month, the woman admitted in an interview with a local TV news station it wasn't her first time dancing atop a moving car!!!
Snakehead Fish Georgia Officials Say Kill 'Em All!!! ... 'Hot Vet' Explains the Problem
10:19 AM PT -- Evan Antin -- fondly known on the Internet as the "Hot Veterinarian" -- tells us invasive species like the snakehead fish are always a problem ... and breaks down exactly why.
If you can resist getting lost in his eyes, listen to Evan explain all the ways this fish can jack up the ecosystem in Georgia ... pretty dreamy scary stuff.
A terrifying species -- known as the snakehead fish (yes, it's as scary looking as it sounds) -- has Georgia fishermen on high alert, and they've been ordered to KILL ON SIGHT!!!
Georgia wildlife officials put out the word about the killer fish because it's been spotted in a pond, and just one is enough to cause a panic. Here's why -- the snakehead devours everything in its path. According to officials, the adult snakehead is a voracious predator of other fish, frogs, small reptiles ... even birds and small mammals aren't safe.
Perhaps most terrifyingly, the fish -- which can grow up to 3 feet long -- can breathe on land! The only good news ... they don't eat humans, so this won't be a 'Sharknado' situation.
Justin Trudeau Apologizes to Kids About Blackface 'It was the Wrong Thing to Do'
Justin Trudeau's mea culpa over his blackface scandal continues, but this time he's saying sorry face-to-face ... to a much younger audience.
The Canadian Prime Minister was a guest on a Facebook Watch show called "New Mom, Who Dis?" where he was asked questions by a small group of school children ... including a couple uncomfortable questions from black twin girls.
One of the twins first asks Trudeau why he painted his face brown, and he responds by admitting it was the wrong thing to do because it hurt people ... and he's learned that now.
But, then the other twin asks a follow-up -- "But, did you paint your nose and your hands brown?"
Trudeau says "yes" and repeats it was wrong and hurtful, and apologizes to all the kids and people he hurt. He also says he's used this as a teaching moment for his own kids ... urging them to be respectful toward each other and not tease or discriminate.

Caitlin Upton, the former Miss Teen USA contestant who infamously mangled an answer about Americans and maps, has hammered out her divorce settlement ... such as the South Africa.
Charles McNeil filed to divorce Caitlin -- who interestingly goes by Caite Upton -- about a year ago, and according to the terms they've drawn up, Caite's biggest concerns were the family dog ... and her frequent flyer miles.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Caite's leaving the marriage, such as the Iraq, with a bank account worth $263 and their Husky, Aurora.
She also gets to keep her miles, and her personal property ... which we're guessing does not include a book of world maps.
You'll recall, Caite gained worldwide fame in 2007 when she was competing as Miss South Carolina Teen USA.

Three suspects have been identified in the murder of Joshua Brown -- Botham Jean's neighbor who testified against ex-cop Amber Guyger.
Dallas PD held a press conference Tuesday saying that the three men were from Alexandria, LA and that they'd traveled to Dallas to purchase drugs from Joshua. Cops claim that an argument ensued, and at one point Joshua shot one of the men in the chest.
Police say that one of the three men, Thaddeous Green, fired upon Joshua twice ... ultimately killing him. The suspect who was shot was treated in a local area hospital, and is now in police custody. The 2 others are being sought on warrants for their arrest.

Police say Joshua Brown was gunned down in a botched drug deal. https://t.co/HRSMwed1bD pic.twitter.com/dFnapL8gpr
The news comes after mass speculation that Joshua's killing was in retaliation for his recent testimony against Amber ... which helped to secure a guilty conviction of murder. As we reported ... she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime.
Just days later ... Joshua himself had been shot and killed in Dallas, and people were outraged -- with some claiming he was targeted in some way and demanding answers.
Unclear if the arrest of these guys will put that conjecture to rest -- but it's clear Dallas PD was feeling pressure to move quickly on the case.

YouTube superstars KSI and Logan Paul showed off their maturity and high respect for each other at their boxing rematch news conference in the UK on Monday.
Juuuust kidding ... there were tiny penis jokes and jabs about dead pet dogs.
The rivals met up in London on Monday to promote their upcoming rematch at Staples Center in L.A. in November ... and shocker, it basically turned into a roast.
KSI was quick to bring out the props -- with a 4-legged friend that looked just like Logan's late dog, Kong, who was tragically eaten by coyotes earlier this year.
Logan was anticipating the move though ... bringing out doggie treats to counter-burn KSI's burn.
"I'mma yoss you, guy," Logan said. "I'mma light your feet on fire, guy. I'mma kiss your mom on the cheek, my guy."
"I'm gonna win and I'm gonna make you a meme and you gon' be my bitch, bro," Logan added.
KSI didn't take it ... firing back at Paul with his own verbal punches. "I'm doing this for the UK, yo. I'mma go into your hometown and f**kin' punish you in front of everyone."

"Joker" screenings were met with angst this weekend -- but what do you do when the actual Clown Prince of Gotham himself crashes your sesh??? Ask him to laugh, of course!!!
That's exactly what happened Saturday evening at a movie house in the San Fernando Valley -- with none other than Joaquin Phoenix himself coming out to greet ticketholders after the credits rolled for a 5:15 PM showing out at Pacific Theaters in Chatsworth.
The actor was making the rounds at different L.A. cineplexes, apparently -- posing with fans and shaking hands -- but at this one ... he got a little stage fright when asked to do his tormented Joker laugh from the film. If you haven't heard it yet ... ya gotta go see it.
Watch ... Joaquin seems to almost half-attempt it here but pulls back -- saying he just can't do it and then asking the audience member to do his own version. The guy couldn't either.
Homeless Opera Singer Plays New Little Italy Gig in L.A. ... Sticks to What She Knows
The homeless opera singer is already on her way to booking gigs and belting out her song to the back row -- playing a gig for proud Italian-Americans in L.A. ... and killin' it.
Emily Zamourka -- who went viral from a video of her crooning in a subway -- performed Saturday evening in downtown San Pedro for the Historic Little Italy Sign Unveiling & Festa ... which was flooded with reporters and cameras who wanted a glimpse of the soprano.
She did her thing -- which apparently consists of just one Puccini tune for now, not that there's anything wrong with that -- and got a roaring applause from the audience.

Botham Jean Neighbor Who Testified Shot Dead ... Days After Guilty Verdict
Botham Jean's neighbor -- who testified against Amber Guyger, the Dallas cop who gunned down BJ in his own apartment -- has now been killed ... days after the guilty verdict.
Joshua Brown was discovered Friday night in Dallas after what appears to be a drive-by shooting, according to local reports. Officers reportedly found Joshua on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds at an apartment complex in Turtle Creek.
Eyewitness told police they saw a silver, 4-door sedan speeding through the parking lot of the complex after the shots rang out. No suspects or motive have been identified as of yet.
Cops hadn't even publicly ID'd the victim, but an attorney for Botham's family confirmed on Facebook that it was, in fact, Joshua. He died from his injuries at a hospital.

Emily Zamourka -- aka the homeless opera singer -- has no problem with the title that's brought her viral Internet fame, because it's also why she's now considering multiple offers that could get her off the streets.
We got Emily Friday night outside NBC's L.A. studio, and she revealed she hasn't signed on the dotted line yet to record with anyone.
TMZ broke the story ... she got an offer for studio time with producer Joel Diamond -- but watch the video. Sounds like Joel might have to get in line.
EZ became a sensation after an LAPD officer recorded her singing Puccini in a subway station. She told us she's not offended by people referring to her as the homeless opera singer because it's true ... and she's not trying to hide her current circumstance. She also made it clear, she's ready for that to change.

9:44 AM PT -- Kristin Chenoweth was introduced to Emily's video for the first time ... and her jaw dropped. The famed singer recognized the opera piece she was singing and was even moved to sing along.
Kristin's also joining the chorus of people rooting for the homeless woman and says she wants to help her out. Aside from money, she's got some advice for "Emily the Opera Singer" and makes it clear ... she's got the right stuff to make it big.
A homeless woman's beautiful voice isn't just making her go viral -- it might have landed her a legit big break in the music biz.
Emily Zamourka already got Internet famous after an LAPD officer shared a clip of her singing Puccini last week, but her star's still rising, and now Grammy-nominated music producer Joel Diamond is offering her a recording contract.
Joel's drawn up an offer letter for the Russian-born subway singer, with the hope of creating a "huge classical/EDM crossover hit record for the subway soprano." The deal would be for one initial record entitled "Paradise" ... which would be released on Diamond's label, Silver Blue Records.
We're told the producer saw her viral vid like everyone else and wants to help her blow up.
Joel's got experience in that department too -- he got David Hasselhoff to go platinum in Germany, and has produced 12 albums for legendary singer Engelbert Humperdinck.
President Trump Impeachment Likely ... According to Oddsmakers

Exclusive
- 8.4K shares
Donald Trump is about to follow in the footsteps of Bill Clinton ... at least that's the way degenerate gamblers and bookies see the impeachment process playing out.
Okay, impeaching Trump is hardly what Vegas would call a stone-cold lock, but according to oddsmakers at US-Bookies.com ... it's now more likely than not the President is impeached.
The odds of Trump getting impeached are currently 1/2 -- meaning a $100 bet pays $50 -- and the betting line has moved significantly since the whole Ukraine saga was thrust into the national conversation.
Since the whistleblower came out and Nancy Pelosi started the impeachment inquiry, the betting line shifted from even to 1/2. That kinda shift is due to the fact tons of people started betting Trump WILL get impeached.
Oddsmakers tell us the current betting line is the lowest it's been at any point since Trump was sworn in, and up until recently, the bettors felt confident 45 would get a second term.
It's interesting ... polls are trending toward more Americans favoring impeachment than not ... and clearly a lot of them are willing to risk some of their hard-earned money on it.
Always gamble responsibly (i.e. don't tell your significant other).
