Looks like you won't be getting that license for the holidays: U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents grabbed nearly 3,000 counterfeit driver's licenses headed for New York from China --some six shipments of fake IDs. The Customs folks also turned them over to Homeland Security, who'll be checking out the people pictured in the licenses.
Eat this: McDonald's has launched a new Bacon BBQ Burger at various participating locations. It's your usual quarter-pounder, topped with applewood-smoked bacon, bourbon BBQ sauce, sliced cheese and crispy fried onion strings, on an artisan roll. And if you're a real glutton, you can get it as a double burger, with twice the beef and cheese.
While we're on the fest food beat, Arby's has decided to serve its Arbynator Sandwich again ...at participating locations. That'd be your usual Arby's roast beef sandwich along with cheddar cheese sauce, Horsey Sauce, Arby's sauce and curly fries, all piled on that sesame seed bun.
PS: 560 calories and 1630 mg of sodium. The American Heart Association says you shouldn't eat more than 2,300 milligrams a day, and 1500 would be even better.Congrats to KELLY CLARKSON, who's now the number four ranking syndicated daytime TV talkshow, with a 1.4 rating overall. (It's not likely that anyone would top JUDGE JUDY, who's not a talk show host, but is the #1 syndicated show with a 6.7 rating share.) Pretty impressive though, considering Kelly'd only been on for about eight weeks when the ratings were taken.
Kelly's talk show has averaged about 1.8 million viewers for the season to date, which puts her behind only "Dr. Phil" (3.2 million viewers), "Live With Kelly and Ryan" (2.7 million) and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (2.5 million) among daytime talk show hosts.See ya: It's all over for "Mystery Science Theater 3000" after the revival of the show --which began on Netflix back in 2017-- has been cancelled by Netflix after two seasons.
