Welcome to Morning Roasts—your daily dose of pop culture's most delightfully absurd headlines. Today, we're diving into a whirlwind of eyebrow-raising news, from unexpected celebrity pairings to animated icons graduating.

In a surprising turn of events, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have been making headlines for their palpable chemistry both on and off the screen. The duo stars in the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun. Fashion Faux Pas: Sydney Sweeney's 'Jeans' Ad Sparks Controversy ignited a firestorm of criticism. The ad's tagline, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes," intended as a playful pun, was perceived by some as promoting eugenics and white supremacy due to Sweeney's blonde hair and blue eyes. This leads to Dunkin' Donuts' 'Golden Refresher' ad which is facing its own backlash because Casalegno's tan being due to his "genetics," is causing the internet to comment about how tone-deaf and insensitive in the context of ongoing discussions about representation and diversity in advertising.

In gaming news, 'Peak' Introduces Cannibalism feature in its update and Lofi Girl graduates after 8 years of being in school. Lastly, we talk about the bold beauty statement that is Jenna Ortega's bleached blonde eyebrows at the London premiere of Wednesday Season 2.

Hot take incoming from the Morning Roasts crew: In today’s roast, we’re serving up a piping-hot story where a chef threw shade harder than a cast iron skillet. TikTok "micro‑influencer" @itskarlabb (then rocking just 15,000 followers) showed up for a promised free meal at San Francisco’s Kis Cafe only to get verbally grilled by chef Luke Sung, who apparently expected at least mid‑six‑figure bragging rights before even thinking about serving a bite. He pulled up her profile at full volume, declared her content too “homey,” and suggested her audience was too broke to even afford the place. The result? Tears, a viral TikTok (22M views!), the chef quitting, the cafe shuttering, and Karla’s follower count skyrocketing. Talk about cooking up chaos.
