Gordon Ramsay’s Dirty Kitchen

Gordon Ramsay, celebrity chef and star of reality TV show Hell’s Kitchen received 24 hygiene violations in New York, according to The Sun. Health inspectors found that his restaurant Gordon Ramsay at the London had “dirty worktops and contaminated food” and cited him four more health violation than he received last year.

A rep for the restaurant said:

“It won’t happen again.”

Ew! Having a few health violations one time is bad enough, but to get worse just proves his staff hasn’t learned. And on top of it, people pay a lot of money to get exposed to this contaminated food. Yuck!

50 Cent Sues Taco Bell

Apparently, 50 Cent won’t be in any commercials saying:

“Yo quiero Taco Bell.”

50 Cent is reportedly suing Taco Bell for using his name in a “guerrilla” advertising campaign for over $1 million in damages, according to Female First. The lawsuit claims:

“Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.”

President Greg Creed of the fast food chain had requested Fifty Cent to change his professional name saying Taco Bell would donate $10,000 to his favorite charity if he agreed, writing:

“We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”

The rapper is pissed off now because his fans have been calling him a “sell-out” by agreeing to promote Taco Bell’s value menu, not realizing he never agreed to the ads. I’m sure 50 Cent is pissed, but the request from Taco Bell is kinda funny, isn’t it?

Cheesecake Factory Celebrates Anniversary with Cheesecake $1.50 per Slice

The Cheesecake Factory is celebrating their 30th anniversary on July 30th. In commemoration of National Cheesecake Day, they will sell every slice of more than 30 various options for $1.50 per slice, limit one per guest, on the special day which is the same cost as when they opened in 1978.

OMG! I love Cheesecake Factory, but unfortunately I don’t live close enough to any of their restaurants anymore.

For you Miley Cyrus fans, she seems to love eating there too as she was spotted earlier this year signing autographs there after having dinner with her mom, Tish Cyrus at the one in Pasedena. Other Hollywood celebs have been spotted at other locations, but you wouldn’t need a celebrity to get me there…just look at the cheesecakes above. YUM.
