What The Hell?!?! British Student Finds ‘Brain-Like’ Organ In His KFC Chicken!?!?

Don’t worry folks, KFC ‘experts’ say it was just a kidney. SMH. 19-year-old Ibrahim Langoo was just tryin’ to get his grub on when he found a wrinkled up organ inside a piece of chicken he was about to bite in to. He took a picture with his cell and complained to staff. According to The Daily Mail , KFC offered the guy coupons for free food as an apology!?!? Mr Langoo and friend Laura Canning, 19, had popped into the Colchester, Essex branch of the fast food restaurant – known for its ‘Finger Lickin’ Good’ slogan – for lunch between classes. The pair – both musical theatre students at Colchester Institute – shared a £6.79 Gladiator box meal. Miss Canning ate the fillet burger, while Mr Langoo went for the two chicken pieces. ‘The first piece was absolutely fine – I was hungry and polished it off,’ Mr Langoo said. ‘I have a habit of picking the chicken off the bone with my fingers, and as I pulled the second piece apart I saw this horrible wrinkled foreign body. ‘I threw it down onto my tray immediately. It looked like a brain. ‘I suddenly felt grim and really sick. ‘I couldn’t bring myself to pick the lump up so I went to the serving counter to complain. ‘It was about 1pm and pretty hectic in the restaurant and as it was so busy none of the staff helped me.’ Repulsed, Mr Langoo left the takeaway and later submitted a complaint online, along with a photo of the organ taken on his mobile phone. ‘I didn’t want to pick the “brain” up as I couldn’t bear to look at it,’ Mr Langoo said. ‘I was grossed out by the fact that I could so easily have eaten it without realising. ‘I just wanted to get out of KFC as quickly as I could. I still feel really sick and disgusted by it all now. ‘KFC say they are sorry and are concerned to hear of my experience as they have “rigorous standards” but I’m still not impressed. ‘I never want to eat KFC again – in Colchester or anywhere else. I’ll eat chicken at home, where I can see how it’s been prepared.’ Experts at KFC have examined the photograph and believe the unsightly organ was a chicken kidney. A spokesman for the firm said: ‘We always try to ensure the highest standards in all of our restaurants. ‘Although we haven’t received the product, it appears from a photograph that unfortunately on this occasion a kidney, and not a brain as claimed, was not removed in the preparation process. ‘We’re very sorry about Mr Langoo’s experience and while there was no health risk, we agree it was unsightly. ‘We will be carrying out a full investigation and providing him with a gesture of goodwill.’ KFC refused to disclose the amount of vouchers that could be available. Why the hell would the guy want free food after this??? Images via tumblr

Tom Cruise Girlfriend? Cynthia Jorge Denies Rumor

Don’t start planning another wedding for Tom Cruise just yet. With rumors circulating that Cynthia Jorge is now dating the action star – following a night out a a club and the following tabloid headline – a friend of the restaurant manager tells Perez Hilton that, yes, Jorge knows Cruise. And, yes, alcohol was shared between the two. HOWEVER: “Cynthia told me they went out for drinks and it was nothing but a casual night out. She said he’s a nice guy.” The insider added that there’s no romance between Jorge and the A-lister, who is in the market for a new young gal pal after splitting with Katie Holmes. Not to worry, though. The Church of Scientology is all over it.

I got the wonderful opportunity to speak with Justin Bieber. It…

I got the wonderful opportunity to speak with Justin Bieber. It is safe to say we all know about the controversial subject of him getting sick and throwing up on stage. Of course, every group of paparazzi had to talk to him about this. It happened on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2012. That morning when I woke up, I knew I was going to hear all about it from the kids in school, so I decided to wear one of my Justin Bieber shirts so everyone could realize that I don’t care about the hate and rumors, and I still support him through everything. I had no idea he was going to be on TMZ live that day. When I got home from school, my mom had texted me and said, “Make a Skype and add TMZ. They are going to talk to Justin.” Me, get the chance to talk to Justin Bieber? I doubted it was gonna happen. I went along with my day and did some homework until I received another text from my mom asking me to just try to Skype TMZ. Finally I just thought “never say never” and I made the Skype account . My name and email all had to do with Justin, so I guess the guy running the Skype had a feeling I really wanted to talk to Justin. He chatted me and asked me if I would like to be on the show. I replied with yes, so he gave me a list of topics they were going to talk about, Justin being one of them. I immediately answered with “I wanna talk to Justin Bieber.” The man chatted me back and said, “What is your comment about him getting sick?” I answered with “I would just like to tell him I feel really sorry for him that he threw up on stage but I think its great that he kept performing for the fans.” A few minutes later I got a message saying “Okay, great! Call us at 4:30 to see if you can be on the show” I waited til about 4:25 and I got a chat from them saying, “Harvey feels you have the best answer and he would like to put you on the show to talk to Justin.” I started freaking out. The people called me and gave me a short pep talk telling me that I could fangirl a little and then tell Justin what I had to say. Then, they called Justin and talked to him about what they needed to talk about. Towards the end of their conversation Harvey said, “Okay somebody wants to talk to you.” I was so nervous. I was shaking and I just said what was on my mind. “Um, Hi my name is Erica from Monroe, New Jersey, and I am a very big fan of you. Um, and I’m going to see you in concert on November 9th, and I would just like to say I feel very sorry for you that you threw up on stage but I think its great that you kept performing for the fans.” I waited a second. Justin then said, “Aww thank you, haha, thank you so much.” My heart literally stopped for a second . My dad then came in the room and said, “Erica, Justin Bieber knows who you are!” I held it together for the rest of the call, and as soon as I got done talking and I hung up I cried my eyes out for about 30 minutes straight. The man running the Skype chatted me and told me that Justin said he loved talking to me. If you would like to see it: click here to watch   (skip to 21 minutes). Even though I talked to him for about 30 seconds, I got to talk to my idol, and my inspiration. I have seen him twice in concert since then in NJ and Brooklyn. I have even met people from Stratford who used to know him and Pattie. Those experiences are a whole different story. I hope this is a lesson for everyone to really follow your dreams and NEVER SAY NEVER! I did not AT ALL think I was going to get to speak to him. But I thought never say never and I am a completely changed person thanks to him. Hopefully one day I will meet him, but this is all I have for now. Thank you! – Erica @ericaquigleyy Link: I got the wonderful opportunity to speak with Justin Bieber. It…

I honestly cannot believe I am making another MBE. I got tickets…

I honestly cannot believe I am making another MBE. I got tickets in June for a VIP package for Philly. It wasn’t a meet & greet package but I was still happy. On November 3rd I went up to Philly to try and find Justin. The concert was Sunday so I decided I would try and find him the day before . I got to Philly around 8 a.m. and had no sign of Justin at all. I drove around all day and got nothing checking every place. Around 1 p.m. Dan tweeted he was at a restaurant. I went there and followed him out of the restaurant, got a pic with him, and ended up loosing him.   We drove around and we saw tour buses. I SCREAMED AND RAN OUT OF THE CAR. We ended up meeting all of the dancers. Nick later told us that Justin wasn’t with them. It was 7 p.m. now and I thought I had no hope. We left and drove around. We checked some more hotels and decided to stay at one and wait. We ended up walking in and out of the lobby twice. I walked back in to check one more time and walked right into Kenny and Allison. I KNEW JUSTIN WAS STAYING AT THIS HOTEL. I ran to the side of the hotel and there was Justin’s tour bus. I freaked out. There were only ten of us there and I was telling everyone to calm down or Justin won’t come over. Justin walked out of the bus after 45 minutes and I called him over because I told everyone to stop talking and don’t scream. I said, “Justin please come here. I have a gift for you.” He goes, “You have a gift for me?” and I said, “Well not really.. for you but for your hamster.” He said, “My hamster? Pet Smart?” and he came over to me and took the present. We took a picture and he then took some with the other people and left. I thought honestly Justin could care less about my present. The next day I went back to the hotel. This was the day of the concert. I met Justin’s grandparents and Scrappy. We waited until around 3 p.m. and there was about 40 people there at this time. I thought there was no way Justin was going to stop. They were bringing Justin’s luggage to the bus and what do I see on the luggage – MY GIFT! I was freaking out. I couldn’t believe he kept it. It was 3 p.m. and Justin walked out of the side. I called him over saying, “Justin can I please get a picture? I’ve been here since 7.” He came right over and only took a picture with me and left. I felt bad but I knew I worked hard. The concert was amazing and I had awesome seats. Two weeks later Justin posted on Instagram and my gift was in the background on his tour bus. I was dying. Thank you so much for reading my MBE and I hope to be reading yours someday. Don’t give up and never say never.   -@MarisaGJB Visit link: I honestly cannot believe I am making another MBE. I got tickets…

Fat Girls Receipt Insults Chilly D’s Restaurant Patrons

The bill given to three friends at Chilly D’s Restaurant really stung, but not because of the price, which is actually pretty affordable for dinner for three in this era. It was the description of their table at the top. “I got the bill, I looked [and] I was like, ‘Why does this receipt say ‘fat girls?'” customer Christine Duran said, recalling her Stockton, Calif., experience. The friends had dined out at Chilly D’s, part of the Cameo Casino Restaurant, on Thursday. The bill lists charges for three tri-tips with fries and three sodas, for $25.50. A bartender named Jeff had apparently typed in “Fat Girls” to keep track of their bill. When a stunned Duran asked a manager for an explanation of the receipt, he “had like a smirk on his face, like it was funny but trying not to laugh,” she said. The dining experience went from bad to worse when the restaurant demanded they still pay the bill, offering them a 25 percent discount and then a 50 percent discount. They declined both offers. In a Facebook message, Maggie Lewis, the Cameo Club Casino owner, apologized and said the treatment Duran had received is “intolerable in our establishment.” Jimmy Siemers, co-owner of Chilly D’s, didn’t work the night Duran and her friends received the offensive receipt, but has said that he is trying to clean up the mess. “I just want to tell them we’re sincerely sorry and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure this never happens to anyone again,” he said in a statement.

Jay-Z and Beyonce: NOT Expecting!

Really. Seriously. For real, people: Beyonce is NOT pregnant. Despite a lack of anything resembling evidence, reports that Beyonce is expecting spread around the Internet this week. They were shot down first by her mother , and now by a man who would certainly know better than we would. Jay-Z told E! Online last night that no child is on the way. “Not tonight,” he said. “Not in nine months – absolutely not.” Hmmm, well… what about in fewer than nine months? Is he just being coy?!? Is there more immediate news to share?!? Nope. Not at all. “Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months,” Jay-Z added, just to clarify. Fair enough. Just promise to call us when there is pregnancy scoop, okay? Thanks man.

David Viens, Chef Who Cooked His Wife, Found Guilty of Murder

One of the more gruesome trials in recent memory has come to an end. Earlier this afternoon, David Viens – a Los Angeles chef who admitted to police that he cooked his wife’s remains for four days – was found guilty of second-degree murder. He faces 15 years in prison. The crime took place in 2009. Once in custody, Viens said he and his wife Dawn had gotten into an argument the night prior to her passing. He admitted to tying her up and placing duct tape over her mouth before the couple went to bed. When he awoke in the morning, Dawn was dead and Viens panicked, insisting he never intended to kill her. As a result, he boiled his wife’s 105-pound body in a 55-gallon drum and even dumped some of the evidence in a grease pit at his restaurant. In a recorded interview with authorities that was played for the jury, Viens says: “I just slowly cooked [the body] and I ended up cooking her for four days.” The body of Dawn Viens was never found.

Sarah Palin Reiterates Support For Chick-fil-A, May Not Understand First Amendment

While hundreds of thousands partook in Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day , former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin repeated her support for the fast-food chain. In a Fox News interview , the 2008 V.P. nominee defended Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s decision to publicly express anti-gay marriage views. Moreover, she called backlash against Chick-fil-A an affront to free speech. “Well, that calling for the boycott is a real – has a chilling effect on our 1st Amendment rights,” Palin told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “And the owner of the Chick-fil-A business had merely voiced his personal opinion about supporting traditional definition of marriage.” “One boy, one girl, falling in love, getting married.” “Having voiced support for kind of that cornerstone of all civilization and all religions since the beginning of time, he then basically [is] getting crucified.” Whichever side you’re on in the gay marriage debate, Sarah Palin’s interpretation of the 1st Amendment is interesting to say the least. Dan Cathy certainly can express his opinions, but as the head of a popular company, has to expect repercussions from such statements. People who disagree are also free to say and do what they want. Would Palin call boycotts of a pro -gay marriage restaurant an affront to free speech? How is criticizing something one dislikes – for any reason – and deciding to not give it money akin to crucifying Cathy? Is he dead? Or in jail? Isn’t boycotting Chick-fil-A basically the same as mobilizing support for a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day – the 1st Amendment at its finest? We digress . If you missed it, Cathy sparked controversy last month when he responded to a question about his anti-gay marriage views. He told an interviewer that he was “guilty as charged.” “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’ and I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about,” Cathy said. These comments have drawn angry responses from a number of politicians and public figures, including calls to boycott the business, sever partnerships and even block Chick-fil-A’s expansion into various cities. Conservatives quickly rallied around the restaurant, with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee organizing a “Chick-fil-A Apprectiation Day” that gained grassroots momentum and a few high-profile backers on the right. Palin also went to bat for the restaurant last month, sending out a picture of her and her husband, Todd, ” supporting a great business .” What’s your opinion on the Chick-fil-A controversy?
