I just heard a report on the evening news seconds ago that actor Hugh Grant was arrested for kicking a photographer and throwing a can of baked beans at him. BAKED BEANS, people. Let us all have a moment of silence for the loss of this can of beans, and for the sheer hilarity that Hollywood blesses us with each and every day. Hey, it’s better than anti-Jew remarks. ~LTG
Welcome to Leena Eats, a big old helping of food, travel and gastronomy with a side of baby stories, a dash of bacon and a friendly butt pat. But only if you’re lucky. more
