Daily Harvest Lentil + Leek Crumbles Recalled ... Customers Hospitalized, Gallbladder Removed
Daily Harvest -- a food subscription company known for pre-made vegan meals -- is being slammed by scores of customers who claim the company's Lentil + Leek Crumbles have caused debilitating stomach pain, liver and gallbladder damage and other problems.
One customer says the product caused so much gallbladder damage, doctors were forced to remove it. And get this ... she added, "The crumbles were delicious by the way." Thank you Mrs. Lincoln for that.
D.H. has recalled the product and says it's launched an investigation.
Another customer says he suffered abdominal pain, fever, nausea and fatigue, but then things got even worse ... his liver readings were sky high, and the guy doesn't even drink.
And yet another user says he's been sick for weeks. There are customers who say things got so bad they landed in the hospital.
After asking customers to toss the product, D.H. got mocked mercilessly, after posting, "An important message regarding our French lentil + Leek Crumbles. Link in bio with details." Customers felt the company should have sounded an alarm rather than burying "details" in the bio.
The company has since taken the post down and put replaced it with an update, saying "Nothing matters more than the health and safety of our customers and we deeply value the trust you put in us and our food every day. We will update you as soon as we know more."

Pete Davidson He Doesn't Know Zip!!!
Pete Davidson is famous for a lot -- for appearing on 'SNL,' for dating Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, among others ... and his BDE status is legendary, at least according to Ariana, so an otherwise innocuous wardrobe gaffe suddenly becomes a big deal!
Pete was in Cairns, Australia when he stepped out but forgot to zip up. He could be clowning, but more likely -- he just didn't realize his fly was open.
Pete gave the paps a peace sign as he posed for pics with fans outside his hotel.
Pete's in the land down under to shoot a flick, "Wizards!," with Orlando Bloom, Naomi Scott, Franz Rogowski and Sean Harris. The production company is Brad Pitt's -- Plan B.
In case you're wondering, the movie's about 2 potheads who run a beach bar and get into hot water after finding a pile of money that they should have left be.
Pete fly-ing solo -- Kim's in L.A. with the kids. He's treading on dangerous ground making a fashion faux pas with a girlfriend who we're guessing NEVER goes out without giving herself the once over!

Former pro boxer Julius Francis tells TMZ Sports he's down to fight Mike Tyson in a rematch -- 22 years after they first fought -- following the renewed fame he's received after his recent knockout video went viral.
We spoke with the 57-year-old -- who had the internet in a frenzy after he KO'ed a man while working a security guard shift in the UK earlier this month -- and he told us he's now willing to come out of retirement, if the opponent and the price are right.

"If there is a promoter that’s willing to promote a sanctioned fight," Julius said, "and, I never have liked talking about money, but [if] they could come up with a decent offer, then who knows?"
Francis told us he hears all the time that he should fight Jake or Logan Paul because of the potential huge payday ... but he doesn't view either of them in his category.
Instead, Francis shared there's only one person that could get him to lace up the gloves again ... and that's the man he lost to in a famous January 2000 bout -- Iron Mike.
"I’m going to put it out there," Francis said. "I’m going to say, 'Yes. Yes, we can have a rematch.' I don’t know if anybody will watch it, but I'm going to say, 'Yes.'"
Francis was unexpectedly thrust back into the spotlight while working a security gig outside of BOXPARK Wembley on June 12 ... when he knocked a man out with one punch after the guy had been agitating people nearby.
Julius said he felt "vindicated" by social media's response to his haymaker ... and that he was pleased to see people rally behind him, even going as far to say they appreciate what he did because the guy deserved it.
Francis expressed he has no regrets over the situation ... because he was simply defending himself against the guy.
But, as a result of the incident, he said he did lose his security license, so he's trying to get things straightened out on that end.

Delonte West says there's nothing to worry about after video of him panhandling in the streets went viral last week ... insisting he's doing okay, and is actively looking for a job.
Remember, we broke the news in February that the former NBA guard -- who's publicly battled mental health and addiction issues -- was back on the right track, training to make the Big 3.
But, last week, a fan shared video on social media showing West, looking disheveled, panhandling in the streets of Virginia ... and it caught many off guard.
Roommates let’s keep former NBA player Delonte West in our prayers. Looks like he was spotted on the side of the road in Alexandria, VA recently. 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/wmgVVmff2m

So, when Image Direct caught up with the 38-year-old this week, they asked Delonte if he was doing okay, and why he was on the streets asking for money.
"It is what it is," West said.
"I got children. I'm in between jobs. People can help me as much as they can, but you know, as a man I gotta do what I gotta do for my babies."
As for the Big 3, West says there were so many talented players there he understands why he didn't make the cut ... but he's thankful for the chance.
"I was excited to have the opportunity," West said, "I'll be there next season. I'll be there rooting guys on."
Despite a bunch of tough breaks, the 8-year NBA vet seemingly isn't letting some difficult times discourage him ... saying he'll keep working hard and hopes to be a part of an NBA coaching staff soon.
"I'm always involved in the game I love. Last year, I was scouting for the Dallas Mavericks and the previous three years, I was an NBA scout for the Boston Celtics."

West added, "I was actually looking forward to being a head coach or assistant coach in the NBA this season but like I said, it's a business that have a lot of people involved and wanna stay involved."
"Prayerfully, luckily I'll be up for discussion this upcoming season."
We're rooting for you, Delonte!

Meghan Markle Bullying Probe to be 'Buried' ... HR Changes Made: Report

Claims that Meghan Markle bullied her staff as a Royal have been investigated and did, indeed, spur HR changes -- but we'll never know exactly why ... so say Palace insiders.
The Sunday Times of London published a major story this weekend ... claiming they'd been told by sources with direct knowledge that the investigation launched last March into allegations that MM was a terror with her Kensington Palace workers has wrapped.
EXCLUSIVE Buckingham Palace will “improve” its HR policies after an inquiry into claims the Duchess of Sussex bullied staff which Meghan denies. The palace won’t publish any of the report, with some who took part angry it has been “buried” @thesundaytimes https://t.co/V7UfjvACAA
— Roya Nikkhah (@RoyaNikkhah) June 19, 2022 @RoyaNikkhah
Not only is done -- with Queen Elizabeth II privately funding it herself via an outside law firm, per the Times -- but it seems something came out of it ... namely, institutional improvements to the monarchy's policies and procedures over this stuff going forward.
So, what's the tea??? Apparently, nobody is ever going to know ... because the findings are said to be getting "buried" by Buckingham Palace, which doesn't plan to release 'em.
According to the Times, citing sources, the reason for keeping this in-house is to avoid further tensions between Meghan and Harry and the rest of the Royal family ... which has left some who participated in the probe frustrated, as they seem to have wanted this out.
Now, some Meghan fans believe something more sinister is afoot here. They say the Royals were so quick to leak news of the investigation at the time (right before the Oprah interview, no less), but now that they supposedly have the goods ... they get camera shy?
Accusing Meghan of bullying staff and publicly announcing you are opening up an investigation,2 days before she was going to expose you for neglect and mental abuse…now you don’t wanna release the findings cause you KNOW you lied…

That’s interesting #Theroyalfamilylied
Meghan is trending right now, as is the hashtag #RoyalFamilyLied. Fact is, some just don't buy what's being peddled -- because if there was a smoking gun against Meghan ... they believe the Royals/BP would leak it with haste to cover their asses/vindicate themselves.
Of course, another way to look at this -- perhaps there is damning evidence against Meghan, but Nana is stepping in and putting it all to bed ... for everyone's sake. FWIW, Meghan denied she ever bullied anyone -- insisting it was she who was put through the wringer.

Jen Psaki Good Burn & All ... But These Parody Accts. Aren't Me!!!
Jen Psaki has been spreading proverbial burns all over Twitter lately -- that is, if you're dumb enough to believe it's actually her ... which the real McCoy is here to clear up.
President Biden's ex-Press Sec. -- who recently stepped away from the role -- made some apparently needed clarifications over a string of tweets that have popped over the past couple weeks ... with snarky messages aimed at the GOP, and trying to pass them as hers.
Hate to disappoint, but…This is not my account. This is not approved by me on any level. (And there have been a number of these in the last few weeks) Anything with “Parody..” in it means it is someone tweeting with an image and twitter account that looks like me and is not. https://t.co/ZryHqPWeXH

The tweets are being peddled by an account called Follow Plz? Faith Back Rub, which notes it's made for satire. At any rate, it seems to have been spreading these phony Psaki bombs.
One in particular that's made the rounds this weekend is about Biden falling off his bike and the need for kneepads ... invoking Donald Trump and Putin. After going viral with people apparently giving her kudos for the diss, the actual Jen Psaki set the record straight.

JP adds, "Anything with 'Parody..' in it means it is someone tweeting with an image and twitter account that looks like me and is not." You'd think that wouldn't need saying, seeing how most of the tweets have "Parody" written in -- but fake news never sleeps.

Some on Twitter claim to have personal insight into Psaki's psyche, suggesting while this isn't her -- she's probably thinking this privately. Others have noted she's too classy for all that ... but the truth is ... none of these people actually know her or what she thinks.
All the same, good on Jen for distancing herself from these ... they're cringe anyway.

Camilla Parker Bowles Duchess Gets Real About Charles ... In New Vogue Interview
Camilla Parker Bowles is on her way to becoming Queen Consort -- and now, a new milestone ... landing the cover of Vogue, where she's opening up about, well, everything.
The Duchess of Cornwall sat down for a profile piece with British Vogue for its July issue -- the first time she's ever been featured on the magazine as the centerpiece ... and the interview didn't disappoint, especially on the subject of her husband, Prince Charles.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The story touches on Camilla's engagements and the constant work she does/orgs she's involved with -- and she says she won't stop even after PC becomes King. Other cool takeaways ... CPB plays Wordle with her grandkids, and is apparently quite good!
Now, when it comes to her hubby -- and the years of scandal/gossip surrounding her romance with him in the '90s, when Princess Diana was still alive -- the Duchess says ... "It’s not easy. I was scrutinized for such a long time that you just have to find a way to live with it. Nobody likes to be looked at all the time and, you know, criticized." She adds, "But I think in the end, I sort of rise above it and get on with it. You’ve got to get on with life."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Camilla also addressed how she and the Prince of Wales maintain their relationship nowadays, especially since they seem to be busier than ever ... she says they make do.
HRH explains, "[W]e do always try to have a point in the day when we meet,” she says of her routine with The Prince of Wales. “Sometimes it’s like ships passing in the night, but we always sit down together and have a cup of tea and discuss the day. We have a moment."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She goes on to describe how, at times, she and Charles will just sit quietly and read their own respective books in different corners of the same room -- and takes pleasure in that.
Not much else was discussed about their affair in the '90s, but as the author notes ... Camilla has garnered a great deal of goodwill among the general public over the years, and is now seen as a legitimate would-be Queen ... that is, only when QE2 eventually passes.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
One could argue that Meghan Markle has claimed the throne as the least-liked Royal -- at least in the U.K., it seems -- but the reasons for that are ... controversial to say the least. In any case, Camilla is turning 75 this year -- and she sounds ready for the next chapter.

Disney's Buzz Lightyear Park Mascot Turns Into a Real Boy!!! ... Er, Space Man, Rather
Buzz Lightyear has a new look at Disney Parks -- instead of the classic toy costume we're used to seeing when their in-house mascots roam around ... now, he's much more lifelike.
The change was announced this week by Disney's official Laughing Place social media page -- which handles all their park news. As you can see, Buzz isn't made of plastic anymore ... he's an actual human being dressed in a space suit -- and not just that, but he talks!

It seems Disney timed this roll-out with the release of Pixar's "Lightyear" flick, which just hit theaters Friday. Indeed, it was that exact day that this real-life Buzz showed up at Tomorrowland within L.A.'s Disney HQ. Makes sense ... y'know, future-y vibes, etc.
As for how new Buzz interacts ... he's still in character as an out-of-place astronaut who doesn't recognize our world, in search of intelligent life -- just like in 'Toy Story.'
Buzz Lightyear has landed in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. 🚀✨ pic.twitter.com/Gj1owD4oia
— Patrick Dougall (@PatrickADougall) June 17, 2022 @PatrickADougall
The strange thing, of course, is that he's missing Buzz's classic purple space cap -- which usually makes him look like a professional swimmer -- and his signature wings. The colors are also kinda dull ... AKA, no green/purple anywhere to be seen. So, interesting iteration.
Lastly, you might notice that this Disney Parks Buzz doesn't really sound like the classic Tim Allen character -- or even Chris Evans for that matter. Namely, no deep all-American voice.
To infinity and beyond?

Another Night in Hollywood Naked Man Dances on Patrol Car ... Near Hollywood Walk of Fame
A naked man showed off his moves in Hollywood Friday night, much to the dismay of LAPD cops who watched as he showed his moves on top of a patrol car ... naked.
It actually became a big thing ... LAPD cops requested backup when they spotted the man on top of the squad car next to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The man was jumping up and down, presumably doing some damage to the roof of the car. It looks like the cops weren't exactly sure how to put an end to it.
Officers tried to talk him down, to no avail. He eventually smashed the rear window of the car. He was eventually taken into custody without force.
He was arrested and booked for vandalism.

Formula Drift Race Fans Get In Wild Melee At Track ... In New Jersey
An event at a New Jersey speedway this past weekend looked more like a WWE match ... because, at one point during the race, fans in the stands got into a WILD brawl.
The chaotic scene went down Saturday during a Formula Drift race at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown ... when witnesses say fans grew annoyed with a couple that had been roaming around the bleachers.
According to the witnesses, the man in yellow and the woman in the small black T-shirt had been, among other things, grabbing and touching people ... and, eventually, it led to a physical confrontation.
You can see in the footage, the woman in the black tee seemed to lunge at another woman ... kicking off a huge skirmish.
The man in yellow jumped in -- as did another man ... while the two women whaled on each other and wrestled on the ground.
The parties were separated after a few moments ... but the confrontation didn't end there.
When the man in yellow pulled out his phone and appeared to begin filming, another man came over and attempted to smack it out of his hand, which ignited a verbal confrontation.
In a twist, the couple then began making out -- all while cars drifted just feet away -- before security officials finally arrived and appeared to boot them from the area.
Apparently, however, the couple didn't leave the track quietly ... because bystanders filmed them seemingly getting into another dispute outside of the venue with officials.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.
In the footage, you can see the two appeared to be very aggressive with guards who were trying to get them to leave.
No word if any arrests were ultimately made, we reached out to local authorities, but so far, we haven't heard back.

There's no doubt Beyoncé's upcoming album will rock the charts -- but it's already got the Internet shook, and it's even educating the public ... in droves.
The folks over at Google tell TMZ ... searches for the word "renaissance," the title of Bey's album, increased 50% in the past day. What's more, searches for the phrase "renaissance definition" more than doubled.
Looks like the Beyoncé-curious are getting history refreshers while jonesin' for her music.
"The Beyoncé effect" is in full swing here, and Google can clearly see that in its data since Thursday's news about the singer's 7th album.
Yeah, she did tracks with her husband Jay-Z in 2018, and worked on Disney's "The Lion King" in 2019 -- but this will be Bey's first solo collection of original tracks since 2016.
Google could've seen this spike coming -- Beyonce started trending last week when the Beyhive noticed she'd removed her social media profile pictures. Nothing gets by her devoted fans.
The album drops at the end of July, and until then ... renaissance festivals might get some accidental shine from all this Bey buzz.

Two white men in Florida are facing criminal charges for allegedly attacking a Black teen who claims he was racially profiled in the same town where Trayvon Martin was killed.
The men, Howard Hughes and Donald Corsi, are accused of throwing a large rock through a rear window in the car the teen was driving in and striking the teen with a large cone.
Footage from the incident's aftermath, posted on social media by the boy's father, appears to show the men angrily shouting at the teen ... using profanities and telling him he doesn't belong in their Sanford, FL neighborhood.
The video also appears to show the damage to the teen's car, which he told cops was from a large rock hurled into the back seat. You can see the busted out window and broken glass all over the seat. There are also accusations about someone having a gun overheard in the video and on the 911 audio from the incident.
Police were called to the scene and the two men were arrested and booked on criminal charges.
The police report, obtained by TMZ, says the teen told cops the men were making verbal threats as they approached the car with a large road cone, using the cone to smash a rear door, causing damage and leaving a large dent under the window.
Cops say the teen also told them one of the men threw a large stone with sharp edges through a car window while the teen was behind the wheel.
Hughes is charged with damaging property and battery. Corsi is charged with damaging property and for allegedly throwing the stone at the car.
While the folks from the video who live in the area told the teen they didn't like how he was driving on their street ... the kid says he was just there to visit a friend.
You'll recall ... Sanford, FL is the same town where Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.

Viral Gym Owner Racist Remarks Caught on Video ... 'This is Not a Mexican Hangout!!!'
A gym owner was caught on video saying racist remarks about a vendor in his business, but he claims the whole thing was taken out of context.
Akop “Jack” Torosian, owner of No Limit Super Gym in Los Angeles and Miami, had a grand re-opening over the weekend at his Hollywood location after some remodeling ... things started to get heated when he allegedly found out someone was selling juice in the gym without his permission.
He's heard complaining about a "Mexican" selling their product at his place, telling someone to "get him the f*** out of here," adding "this is not a Mexican hangout."
Jack, who refers to his gym as a "sanctuary" online -- and posts videos of himself smoking, while lifting, while getting a haircut -- has since apologized, saying the video was out of context ... though it's hard to explain the racist phrasing used.
He's claiming his own staff had been taking advantage of him ... while being away in Miami, he says his employees opened up a juice bar and brought outside vendors to help -- something he claims wasn't approved.
The company's Yelp page has been flooded with 1-star reviews ever since the clip went viral ... with many calling Jack a racist -- one review says "Trash of a gym owner; Trash of a gym."
