Cat Cora The Post-Crash DUI 911 'She Was Driving Insane'
TMZ obtained the 911 call placed right after "Iron Chef" Cat Cora drunkenly crashed into another vehicle -- and according to the caller, "She was driving insane."
The caller -- who Cat rear-ended -- tells the operator, "She's just been very aggressive. Her driving style was aggressive. There was a red light. She was just driving insane."
He adds, "She was wavering around the road ... She's yelling and acting really weird."
As we reported, Cora was arrested for DUI on June 17 in Santa Barbara, CA. According to police, she admitted drinking 3 beers and later blew a .19 on a breathalyzer ... more than twice the legal limit in California.
Cat later apologized for the arrest, saying, “I deeply regret my decision to drive that evening after my designated driver became unavailable."
Just moments after the crash, the other driver began videotaping her. Cat angrily responded by calling the driver and his passenger "nerds" with no life. The video's pretty great.

Ed Helms I Won't Eat at Chick-fil-A ... 'Cause It's Anti-Gay
"Office" star Ed Helms is officially boycotting Chick-fil-A ... claiming the restaurant chain's anti-gay stance has caused him to lose his appetite.
Helms is responding to a statement issued by Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy ... who recently told a Christian publication that when it comes to accusations his company is actively opposed to gay marriage, Chick-fil-A is "guilty as charged."
Cathy claims his chicken people support the "biblical definition of the family unit." In fact, Chick-fil-A reportedly donated nearly $2 million towards religious groups that oppose gay marriage in 2010 alone.
The comments clearly didn't sit well with Helms ... who tweeted, "Chick-Fil-A doesn't like gay people? So lame. Hate to think what they do to the gay chickens! Lost a loyal fan."
Helms ain't alone ... the gay rights campaign NOH8 -- supported by stars like Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and the Kardashians -- has also called for a Chick-fil-A boycott.

Mel lays down two separate acts for the ladies, first he juggles 3 oranges ... then he gets serious and switches it up by only using one hand (but has fewer oranges).
Amazing. (Ya know, if you find juggling fruit impressive).

Barack Obama Honored with Fried Chicken and Waffles
Barack Obama has just become the first sitting President in American history to have a menu item named after him at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles -- talk about a historic week!!
The legendary chicken joint officially renamed a menu item after Obama after the Commander-In-Chief chowed down on the famous 3-wing "Country Boy" special back in October.
At the time, the owners claimed they would NOT rename the item after Obama ... in fairness to Reagan and Nixon, who were also regulars ... but don't have any items named after them.
Guess the Roscoe's people had a change of heart ... 'cause the Country Boy is OUT and "Obama's Special" is in ... for $8.90.
