Del Taco Sued Your Food Put Me in a Real Coma
Del Taco's claim its food is "Un-Freshing Believable" is un-freaking believable to an Orange County man who says 2 tacos and a quesadilla put him in a coma.
The 57-year-old customer is suing over a meal he says left him vomiting and in serious pain. According to the lawsuit he was rushed to the ER the next day due to excessive puking and placed in ICU, where he "slipped into a coma" for 3 days.
In the suit, he offers no specifics about how or why he fell comatose -- but he told us his esophagus was bleeding from the vomiting. He says doctors said it would take a miracle for him to pull out of the coma, and when he did it took 6 weeks to recover.
According to the suit, he racked up more than $160k in medical bills. He's suing for at least $500k in damages.
Del Taco points out this guy filed the same suit before to no avail. He tells us he voluntarily dismissed it so he could better prepare for trial.
Regardless, Del Taco says it will vigorously fight the allegations.

Martin Shkreli Leaks Lil Wayne's 'Carter V' Track ... Wayne Launches Investigation
Lil Wayne's infamously NOT released "Tha Carter V" has finally been released -- at least partially -- by who else, but Martin Shkreli ... and we've learned Wayne's pissed.
Shkreli pulled a sort of hip hop Robin Hood move, he claims, by posting this video of himself hyping up, and then playing a track he says is from Wayne's legendary album. He boasts that the song is about him.
Of course, Weezy fans have been dying to hear anything from the album since October 2014, when it was originally supposed to be released. Wayne and Birdman have been in a standoff and legal war over the record ever since then.
A source close to Wayne says this is the real McCoy. We suspect Shkreli's about to have even more legal trouble -- in the form of a lawsuit from Cash Money or Universal Music Group.
A source close to Wayne tells TMZ ... his camp is doing an internal investigation to find out if someone passed the song to Shkreli. As we've reported, Birdman says he doesn't have a copy of "Tha Carter V" ... and insists it's been in Weezy's hands all along.
Shkreli's already facing federal indictment for conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

Taylor Swift to Judge Don't Put My Safety at Risk!!!
Taylor Swift says her life will be in danger unless the court steps in and breaks out some Wite-Out.
Taylor just filed docs asking the court to redact portions of a transcript from a July hearing in her sexual assault case against David Mueller. At the hearing, Taylor's lawyers specifically talked about her security detail and specific threats made against her in the past.
Taylor says the transcript contains sensitive and personal information that, if released to the public, could jeopardize her safety.
Her team lays out a scary scenario, "The same people who have threatened Ms. Swift in the past, as well as copy cats, may be emboldened by public attention" they'd get if the whole transcript comes out.
The judge has yet to rule on Taylor's request.
