Published | Updated

Cheetos, Ruffles, Oreos, Gummi bears, Cup O' Noodleses ... it's MUNCHIE MECCA -- otherwise known as Rihanna's dressing room for her new tour ... and TMZ has the full list of her stonerific food demands.

It's no secret Rihanna smokes like a chimney -- a chimney filled with weed -- and the rider for her current "777" tour hilariously resembles a 2am 7-Eleven snack run ... after crushing a half ounce of sticky icky.

The full list is several pages long -- but here are some awesome highlights ...

-- One package of Oreos
-- One large bag of Haribo brand Gold Bears
-- One box of Capri Suns
-- 10 bags of cheddar cheese Ruffles
-- Red Bulls, Grey Goose, Coke, Sprite, Ginger Ale, Diet Coke
-- 10 bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos (delicious)
-- Stuffed olives
-- One box of Golden Grahams cereal
-- Mini Babybel cheeses
-- 6 gallons of Visine

That last one was a joke.

WWE Star MASSIVE Snack Spree Before Hostess Closure

Published | Updated

WWE star David Otunga isn't taking any chances now that Hostess has announced it's closing up shop -- stocking up on EVERY POSSIBLE HOSTESS SNACK EVER on Friday -- and TMZ has the heart-stopping picture to prove it.

Otunga -- who's ironically engaged to Weight Watchers spokeswoman Jennifer Hudson -- tells TMZ he was devastated by the news Friday that Hostess is going out of business ... so he scrambled to a Hostess outlet in Chicago to salvage whatever snacks he could.

But he was too late -- the entire outlet was empty -- so Otunga ran to his local supermarket instead, where he managed to squirrel away a shopping cart filled with roughly 80,000 calories.

Otunga tells us, "I don't want my son to go without Twinkies."

The horror.

Chick-Fil-A Graffiti Tastes Like Freedom ... No Jail for Artist

Published | Updated

Tastes like freedom for an L.A. artist who spray-painted the side of a Chik-fil-A restaurant with the words, "Tastes Like Hate" ... 'cause he just scored a major legal victory, avoiding any jail time.

Manual "Manny" Castro Jr. inked the Redondo Beach locale back in August ... after a Chik-fil-A honcho made comments against same-sex marriage. Manny owned up to the artwork in an interview and was promptly arrested. He faced up to a year in jail.

Manny struck the deal Friday, with the help of his lawyer Blair Berk, pleading no contest to misdemeanor vandalism.

He was placed on 3 years probation and had to cough up $400 in fines. He has to do 100 hours of community service.

Oh, and he's also banned from Chick-fil-A.

Mike Brown Fired Lakers Coach Drowns Sorrows at Chick-fil-A

Published | Updated

Nothing softens the sting of being fired from the Los Angeles Lakers organization like a chicken sandwich ... just ask ex-coach Mike Brown ... who hit up a Chick-fil-A right after he got the chop today.

TMZ obtained photos of Brown hanging at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA around 11:30 AM ... just a few hours after news broke that he was fired from the team over their dismal 1-4 start.

We're told Brown was super-nice to fans ... taking pics and shaking hands ... but he never discussed the firing.

However, it appears Brown WAS in the mood to talk ... 'cause he was in the middle of a phone convo with legendary L.A. sports reporter Jim Hill when he stopped to take the above photo.

Brown seems to be handling the situation with class -- releasing a statement saying, "I have great respect for the Buss family and the Lakers’ storied tradition and I thank them for the opportunity they afforded me."

Andrew Keegan Sues Fish Taco Joint -- Your Bouncers Choked Me!!

Published | Updated

Teen heartthrob Andrew Keegan is going after a famous L.A. fish taco restaurant for at least $25,000 -- claiming its bouncers beat his beautiful face in 2010 for no reason ... and now he wants to get PAID.

Keegan just filed the lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court, and according to the docs, the former child actor was minding his own business on the sidewalk outside a place called James' Beach in Venice, CA ... when the James' Beach bouncers unleashed a ferocious beatdown on him, and put him in a choke hold.

(FYI -- James' Beach was where Paul Rudd and Jason Segel went on their fish taco man date in "I Love You Man.")

Keegan doesn't explain what instigated the violent outburst -- but claims he suffered serious injuries as a result.

Keegan is now suing the restaurant/bar and its security company for unspecified damages, totaling at least $25,000.

Calls to James' Beach weren't returned.

Detroit Tigers It's All About the Chicken This Year

Published | Updated

The Detroit Tigers don't want a repeat of their devastating 2006 World Series loss, so they made a major change in how they do things -- and that change is eating more chicken.

TMZ spoke with a Tigers clubhouse rep who tells us a chef comes in and cooks for the players every day and the menu is pretty expansive -- we're talkin' hamburgers, jambalaya, Chinese food, eggs, fresh fruit, soup, Kobe sliders, mac and cheese ... the works.

But the biggest item on the menu is chicken and lots of it. The rep says chicken breast is always available for breakfast and there's always a baked chicken for lunch too, as a healthy option.

The rep says the major difference between the Tigers' menu during their failed 2006 Series run and this year ... "more chicken."

It better pay off soon ... the Tigers are 0-2 against the Giants.

Just hours after havin' lunch with Michelle Obama ... and one day after stumping for the Pres at a Democratic rally ... Hollywood liberal Katy Perry sat down for a peaceful dinner with her ultra-conservative parents.

Katy has some major philosophical differences with her folks -- who are very devout pentecostal Christians ... especially when it comes to social issues like gay marriage.

But last night, they didn't let politics get in the way of a good meal ... and dined together at Red O in L.A. to celebrate Katy's 28th birthday.

Wonder who paid for dinner?

Jerry Sandusky Feasting on Wieners Behind Bars

Published | Updated

It's Jerry Sandusky's lucky day -- because he just got transferred to a brand new jail ... and today's lunch is hot dogs ... and buns.

A rep for the State Corrections Department in PA tells TMZ, Sandusky was transferred to Camp Hill correctional facility in Lower Allen this morning from the Centre County Jail, where he had remained in custody since his trial.

According to the rep, today's lunch is hot dogs, sauerkraut, and of course ... baked beans.

Sandusky's expected to spend anywhere from 2-4 weeks at Camp Hill before he's transferred to his more permanent home ... state prison.

The convicted child rapist was also issued his jail "blues" today -- the jail outfit consisting of blue pants, a blue shirt, a white undershirt, socks, and tighty-whiteys. It's unclear if he's in the general population or if he's being kept in solitary for his own safety.

But he's not doing too bad -- we're told prisoners at Camp Hill stay in 8'x10' cells ... which is the same size as Conrad Murray's cell in L.A. County ... AFTER Murray got his upgrade.

Soup Kitchen -- Paul Ryan DID Wash Dirty Dishes :: 101612-brian-antal-launch-2

The guy who runs the Ohio soup kitchen that Paul Ryan appeared at this weekend tells TMZ ... contrary to his earlier statement, Ryan DID get dirty with dirty dishes.

Brian Antal tells us ... the V.P. hopeful was only at the kitchen for 10 to 15 minutes and only interacted with one of their "clients."

Antal -- who wasn't at the soup kitchen at the time of the Ryan visit -- said his volunteers left some dirty dishes in the kitchen for Ryan to clean.

But when we asked him if the Ryan people had orchestrated the dish-cleaning stunt, Antal said, "No comment."

There is video floating around, showing Ryan giving a pan one scrub -- and that was the extent of the washing.

Paul Ryan Shameless Soup Kitchen Photo Op

Published | Updated

Veep wannabee Paul Ryan pulled a fast one at an empty soup kitchen, pretending to pitch in and wash dishes that were already clean ... this according to the President of the charity.

Brian J. Antal says Ryan and his wife showed up at the kitchen in Youngstown, Ohio, AFTER all of the food had been served and the patrons had left ... and the dishes, pots and pans were already washed.

Antal says he was not at the kitchen at the time of Ryan's visit -- but says if he was, Ryan would not have been allowed inside because the soup kitchen has a strict apolitical stance. Antal says Ryan's team convinced one of the kitchen volunteers to open the doors.

Antal says Ryan was there 15 minutes and it was just a shameless photo op, adding, "He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall."

We tried getting a comment from Ryan's camp, to no avail.

Anthony Bourdain RIPPED By Guy Fieri ... How Bout Those Drugs?

Published | Updated

Anthony Bourdain got his ass served to him Thursday night -- when celebrity chef Guy Fieri exacted his revenge on the "No Reservations" host by taking shots at his druggie past ... AND he did it all for charity.

Guy unleashed his insults at the NYC Wine & Food Festival during a charity roast of Bourdain -- who is notorious for his incessant bashing of Food Network chefs.

Guy quipped, "Anthony ... I hear you’re the only one in [culinary] class who did most of his cooking with a spoon and a Bic lighter" ... referring to Bourdain's self-confessed past drug use.

The jab must have been a sweet moment for Guy -- who has endured years of Bourdain's verbal attacks. Like the time Bourdain called Guy's newest 600-seat NYC restaurant a "terror-dome" ... that serves crappy food.

So we gotta ask ...

Lisa Vanderpump Targeted In Sexual Assault Suit

Published | Updated

An actress/restaurant server claims she was the victim of sexual assault and battery at Lisa Vanderpump's Beverly Hills Restaurant, Villa Blanca, and she's suing Lisa and the man she claims did the dirty deeds for more than $5 million.

Karina Bustillos -- who has appeared in "The Mexican Conspiracy" and "86'd" -- claims in April, a Villa Blanca manager, Michael Govia, told her to close her eyes. She says when she eventually opened them, Govia's mouth was open with his tongue sticking out, right by her mouth, in an attempt to kiss her.

Bustillos says she complained and then Govia began retaliating, calling her a "bitch" and a "c**t" and telling other servers he could "get her" -- implying he could sleep with her if he wanted.

She says in August, Govia allegedly approached her and aggressively twisted her wrists. She says when she asked him to stop, he responded, "I will do whatever I want. I'm the manager."

Bustillos says she complained to others but no action was taken. Bustillos also says Lisa Vanderpump gave her the cold shoulder after she complained.

Bustillos, who claims she was forced to quit, is suing Lisa, her husband, Ken Todd, the restaurant and Govia for more than $5 mil.

Lisa Vanderpump tells TMZ, "The waitress had a falling out with a manager. Of course I take that seriously. We've looked at all the cameras and there's no sexual harassment." Lisa adds, "This is just a disgruntled employee."

Miami Dolphins Rookies Foot Dinner Tab ... at $740 a HEAD!!!

Published | Updated

It's the LAST tab you'd ever wanna pick up -- a bill for a lavish steak dinner consumed by the heavyweights on the Miami Dolphins offensive line -- but Monday night, several unlucky rookies did just that ... and it cost 'em $7,400.

All told, there were 10 players at the dinner at Prime One Twelve steakhouse in Miami Beach -- fresh off their Sunday night victory over the Bengals -- meaning the average cost per head was $740.

Dolphins guard Richie Incognito tells us, they ordered practically everything on the menu -- including Wagyu beef, which runs $35 AN OUNCE ... in addition to a full array of appetizers, expensive wines, and of course ... lemon drop shots.

Incognito tells us, the guys go out for dinner several times a year as a bonding experience -- and it's a tradition to make the rookies pay for one of those meals.

We're told the rooks split the bill based on their salaries -- which means starting right tackle Jonathan Martin paid the most.

Champagne problems ... in this case, Dom Perignon.

The crazy spending didn't end at dinner -- sources tell TMZ, the crew dropped by the FDR lounge at the Delano hotel following their feast ... where the rookies dropped over $2,000 on a table and drinks.

Published | Updated

President Bill Clinton isn't just a fantastic giver of speeches -- he's also a fantastic giver of dinners ... just ask Ted Danson and the other celebs who dined with the prez Monday night ... and didn't have to drop a dime.

The former prez hit up The Churchill -- a swanky restaurant and bar in L.A -- after attending a fundraising event for his non-profit organization, The Clinton Foundation.

Clinton didn't come alone, he rolled in with a few famous friends ... specifically Danson ... Mayor Villaraigosa ... and actress Mary Steenburgen -- who all attended the event as well.

Sources on scene tell TMZ ... the group -- about 20 in all -- noshed on yuppie foods like, roasted black mission figs ... shishito peppers ... quinoa veggie burgers ... and Okinawan sweet potato gnocchi.

We're told, being the awesome host he is, Clinton then picked up the tab -- which set him back somewhere between $1,000 - $1,500.

Which is like .0015% of his net worth.
