How mystery In-N-Out burger wound up on a Queens street Meat mystery solved. The New York man who recently told The Post about finding a pristine In-N-Out cheeseburger sitting on a Queens street claims he’s figured out how the double-double wound up so far from home. Lincoln Boehm, 31, said Wednesday that after posting about the puzzling patty on Instagram, he received a message from Helen Vivas, a 16-year-old Queens girl, who said she had dropped the burger while running to catch a bus. “Helen was sincere, and from the jump I knew this person may hold the answers I’ve spent the last four days searching for,” Boehm wrote in a first-person essay on Vice. The high schooler, who attends Veritas Academy in Flushing, told Boehm she picked up the burger at one of the West Coast chain’s outposts in Encinitas Calif., July 19, before getting on a red-eye JetBlue flight back to the Big Apple. As proof, she provided a screengrab from her Instagram story of the In-N-Out restaurant she went to, her receipt from the eatery and her flight information. “At the counter, she made it clear to the In-N-Out employee taking her order that she was about to board a flight, and asked for suggestions to preserve the burgers as much as possible,” Boehm wrote. She ordered two double-doubles without sauce, explaining how the burger stayed in mint condition. She also bought two single cheeseburgers, with the vegetables packed in separate baggies. Once on the plane, she ate one of the double-doubles — and kept the bag containing the other sandwiches on her lap for the entire flight, Boehm wrote. She landed at JFK airport Saturday at 5:27 a.m. and took the AirTrain to the Jamaica station in order to catch the Q44 bus home. That’s when “she saw the bus sitting a block away at the stop, about to leave” and ran to catch it, Boehm wrote. “The good news: She caught the bus. The bad news: The bag burst open at the bottom while she made this fateful sprint.” She was apparently able to catch two of the three burgers before they hit the ground — but left the double-double behind. About an hour later, Boehm, an In-N-Out addict from Santa Monica, and his wife Dara Katz, came across the untouched burger. “It genuinely shook me to my core,” he previously told The Post. The fast food giant has locations in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Texas and its home state of California — but its closest restaurant is at least 1,500 miles from the Big Apple. Boehm said he fielded dozens of messages with theories about the case. Now that he’s solved the mystery, he said he plans to meet the fellow In-N-Out superfan. “My wife and I have invited Helen and her family over to our apartment for a barbecue,” he wrote. “We’ll probably have hot dogs and chicken.”

Dunaway fired for slapping crew member By Michael Riedel Dunaway has been fired from the Broadway-bound play “Tea at Five” for creating a “hostile” and “dangerous” environment backstage that left production members fearing for their safety, several sources told The Post. Onstage at the Huntington Theater in Boston, where “Tea at Five” was trying out, Dunaway was playing Katharine Hepburn. Backstage she was channeling Joan Crawford, the deranged, abusive film star Dunaway played in the 1981 movie “Mommie Dearest.” The July 10 performance was canceled moments before curtain because Dunaway slapped and threw things at crew members who were trying to put on her wig, sources say. Enraged at the cancellation, Dunaway began “verbally abusing” the crew. They were “fearful for their safety,” said one source. Dunaway was traveling in Europe and could not be reached for comment. Her lawyer did not respond to an e-mail seeking comment. The producers of “Tea at Five” said in a statement they had “terminated their relationship” with the actress. They said the play, which was well received in Boston, would go to London in the spring and be recast with another actress. “Tea at Five,” a one-woman play by Matthew Lombardo about Hepburn’s recovery from a car accident in 1983, was meant to be a triumphant return to the stage for Dunaway, who famously was fired by Andrew Lloyd Webber before she opened in the Los Angeles production of “Sunset Boulevard.” Dunaway, who won her Oscar as the ambitious television producer in “Network,” was excited to return to Broadway for the first time in 37 years. (Her last appearance was in the 1982 play “The Curse of the Aching Heart.) “She seemed committed to the role, and fun to be around,” said a source. But her behavior was unsettling at an early photo shoot. Someone gave her a salad for lunch and she threw it on the floor. She was watching her weight and said the salad would be better on the floor than in her hand. She was frequently late for rehearsals, sometimes up to two hours, sources say. She refused to allow anyone to look at her during rehearsals, including the director and the playwright. Although she had the script for six months, sources claim she was never able to learn her lines. During the run of the play at Huntington she was fed lines and blocking through an earpiece. One source says, “98 percent of the play came through the earpiece.” Late at night while in rehearsal she left what one production source called “troubling, rambling, angry” voicemails to the creative team during the middle of the night. She also insisted that no one wear white to rehearsals because it “distracts me,” she said. When she was rehearsing on stage at the Huntington no one was allowed to move in the theater because that also distracted her. As she was rehearsing, she began to lose weight. She looked so emaciated that a production member called Dunaway’s former assistant for advice. The assistant said, “It sounds like she’s not complying with her medication.” The producers were so concerned about her condition they called Actors’ Equity Association to see if it was “ethical” to put someone in her state in front of an audience, sources say. Over the last weekend of June she had a full on “Mommie Dearest” meltdown and demanded that staffers at the Huntington Theater get down on their hands and knees and scrub the floor of her dressing room, sources claim. She allegedly threw mirrors, combs and boxes of hairpins at the staff of the theater. She also pulled gray hairs out of her wig because she wanted to play a younger version of Hepburn than the playwright had written. The producer knew they had to fire her when they had to cancel the July 10 performance because she physically and verbally abused several production members. This is not the first time Dunaway has displayed erratic behavior in a show. In the early 1990s she toured the country as Maria Callas in Terrence McNally’s “Master Class.” She showed up an hour late for many performances. She had bellhops rearrange her furniture in her hotel suites in the middle of night because she didn’t like the “flow” of the room. Once, a theater in St. Louis sent her a white limousine, and she reportedly had a fit because she hates white. She demanded a rental car from the hotel to get to the theater. The limo company sent a black car instead, but it was too late — Dunaway was racing to the theater, trailed by both the white limo and the black one. I managed to track her down back then and she was charming on the phone. “Your story sounds like a Fellini movie,” she told me. I haven’t been able to reach her in Europe for this story. But I hope wherever she is there are “no wire hangers!”

Holy guacamole! You can finally live in an avocado. A new “Avo-Condo,” aka an avocado-shaped camper, is available on Booking.com for the equivalent of only $70 USD per night. Located in Campbell’s Cove Lookout in Sydney, Australia, this “once in a lifetime opportunity” is unfortunately only available between July 31 (National Avocado Day) and Aug. 1. But for that brief time, the debate between housing and enjoying avocados — the Sophie’s choice of the millennial generation — will be solved. The “custom-built, self-contained avocado-themed condo” can house two guests and “will be filled with avo-inspired decorations to make this a truly unforgettable place to stay,” according to the listings. Better still, the camper will be filled with “a personal hamper full of avocado-themed goodies!” But act fast, as the great avocado is available on a first come, first served basis. What can we say? Avocado’s are all the rage right now. In fact, this is the latest in a string of headline-making appearances for avocados. Toast smeared with the fruit is being hyped as an amenity at a condo development in Vancouver, Canada. One fan even used the creamy green delight as his weapon of choice during a pair of wacky “armed” bank robberies in Beersheba, Israel.

Faye Dunaway fired from Broadway-bound ‘Tea at Five’ Faye Dunaway has been fired from the Broadway-bound play “Tea at Five.” Dunaway, 78, was playing Katharine Hepburn in the one-woman play, set to open on Broadway next year. It had been playing in Boston. “The producers of ‘Tea at Five’ announced today that they have terminated their relationship with Faye Dunaway,” spokesman Rick Miramontez said in a statement. “Plans are in development to have its West End debut early next year with a new actress to play the role of Katharine Hepburn.” Dunaway last appeared on Broadway in 1982’s “The Curse of the Aching Heart.”

MANUAL labor... I have almost all of the manuals that came with the items in my home and none of them does any labor around the house.

Break a leg! The messy professional break-up between hot-shot personal-injury lawyers Ross Cellino and Steve Barnes is moving from the courthouse to the playhouse, dramatized in a stage show playing next month in Brooklyn. “Cellino v. Barnes” will hit the stage Aug. 3 at The Bell House in Gowanus, with the respective roles filled by co-creators Michael Breen and David Rafailedes. The show, which already has had a sold-out run at the borough’s Union Hall, is a retelling of the rise and fall of the professional bond between the legal eagles, known for their inescapable TV spots featuring the earworm “Don’t wait, call 8” jingle. The union hit the skids in 2017, when Cellino filed suit against Barnes to dissolve the firm over a slew of squabbles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq8ejBuJuck

Wendy Williams is producing a biopic about her troubled life for Lifetime, airing next year. The TV host’s real life is certainly the stuff of a Lifetime movie: She recently sent her husband and business partner Kevin Hunter packing after he got mistress Sharina Hudson pregnant, while Williamsspent time in a sober living house and has battled various health issues. She’s making the movie with Will Packer — the hot producer behind “Girls Trip.” The project’s about “her scrappy upstart days in urban radio to the success of her own syndicated talk show,” a release said. “Boomerang” writer Leigh Davenport is penning the script. Williams just celebrated her 55th birthday with breakfast at Tiffany (literally — at the jewelry store’s in-house cafe), plus dinner at Serendipity 3 and a cruise around Manhattan while wearing a tiara. Lifetime, which was behind “Surviving R. Kelly,” is now also producing a “Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” series. Blac Chyna’s mom, Tokyo Toni, accuses Wendy Williams of using cocaine Wendy Williams‘ newfound friendship with Blac Chyna apparently doesn’t extend to the reality star’s mother, Tokyo Toni. Chyna and her mom have been publicly feuding, though they seemed to temporarily make amends. It clearly didn’t last long, so Williams, 55, discussed the ongoing feud between the mother-daughter duo on her show last week. “Fans though are outraged over how her mother Tokyo Toni treated Chyna,” before sharing a clip from Chyna’s reality show, “Real Blac Chyna,” that showed Toni cursing out her daughter. “Along with that she also said something to the effect … you can kill yourself I don’t care. …Toni, take this in the best way because when last we talked you were hugging me and crying and me, you, Chyna we spent all day together and it was great, and all you kept telling me was ‘Wendy, thank you.'” She added, “All I’m saying is you only have one mother.” Williams’ hot take didn’t sit well with Toni, who subsequently lashed out on Instagram Live with threats to expose her secrets. “Let me check Wendy Williams’ motherf–king ass bitch. Wendy, I’mma tell you this. Don’t mention my motherf–king name again, or I’m gonna talk about your s–t,” warned Toni. “Wendy is so gone, that when I see her, I’mma knock her face off. When I see you, bitch, I’m gonna get a charge. I’mma bust your ass,” she continued. “You said I cried? When I walked in, you was sniffing coke. ‘Heyyy, ohhh’ Eyes was big. You hugged me because I ain’t no sucker.” A rep for “The Wendy Williams Show” didn’t comment and a rep for the host didn’t return our request for comment. Earlier this year, Williams checked into a sober house to treat a drug and alcohol addiction relapse. On Monday’s episode, Williams didn’t address Toni’s threats and instead focused on how she’s the “same girl, just different” since moving to New York City following her separation from husband Kevin Hunter.

AGE 37ish:

Who else would notice, whilst checking out at the supermarket at 1AM, that Jingle Jangle (The Archies’ follow-up single to Sugar Sugar) was playing in the background? The cashier didn’t seem to recognize it. Go figure! THE SONGS WITHOUT THE VIDEO NOISES:

My phone doesn't have a dial, but I can set it to 'pulse' or 'tone'

I grew up calling it the glove compartment. Do you keep it in the glove box compartment?

Unless you're into that sort of thing...

Demon... Semen... I can see the confusion.

PAPER PLATES are made of anything but. SOCIAL SECURITY does not actually provide any. Twas the same for me, until my sister put me on her plan.

I have a landline (and an answering machine). My sister pays for me to have a (flip) phone on her plan as my Xmas present every year, but I only turn it on to make an occasional call or send a rare text. I charge it about once every 3 months.

PHONE... because nobody uses them to actually make a call and TALK to anyone anymore.
