Do even Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have to wait in line for L.A. hotspot Max and Helen's?

The couple were spotted at chef Nancy Silverton and TV producer Phil Rosenthal's insanely popular diner on Sunday, where the wait times are routinely said to be 4 to 5 hours long!

'TODAY' show anchor Savannah Guthrie is begging her mom Nancy's kidnapper to bring her home in a new video where she urges whoever took her that it's "never too late to do the right thing."

In the new clip, Savannah delivers an emotional plea in a direct-to-camera address, saying, "We still have hope and we still believe."

She added ... "To whoever has her or knows where she is ... It's never too late and you're not lost or alone, and it is never too late to do the right thing."

Bianca Censori could be taking the witness stand soon ... at least if a former Kanye West employee gets his way.

According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ, Tony Saxon -- the ex-project manager suing Kanye over the chaotic Malibu mansion remodel -- says he's calling Bianca to testify in the upcoming trial, currently set for February 21.

It's unclear what specific testimony he believes she can provide, but she's now potentially being lined up as a witness in the case.

As we previously reported ... Saxon sued Kanye, claiming he was hired in September 2021 as project manager, caretaker and 24/7 security for Kanye's Malibu property. In the lawsuit, Saxon alleges he worked brutal 16 hour days and was forced to sleep on the floor using a coat as makeshift bedding while overseeing the remodel.

Saxon claims things spiraled in November 2021 when Kanye allegedly demanded he remove all the home's windows and electricity. According to the suit, Saxon raised safety concerns, warning the moves posed "extreme danger," especially after Kanye allegedly insisted on bringing large generators inside something Saxon feared could spark a fire hazard.

He also claims Kanye threatened him, saying he'd be considered "an enemy" if he didn't comply, and told him, "If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me." Saxon says he refused and was fired on the spot.

Tony's suing for unpaid wages and labor code violations and potentially dragging Bianca into the courtroom drama.

Kanye has denied all allegations. In a November 2023 filing, his attorney argued that even if Saxon suffered damages -- which Kanye does not admit -- they were caused by other parties, not Kanye, and any liability should be reduced accordingly. Kanye also claimed Saxon performed work without his knowledge and asked the court to toss the lawsuit entirely.
