6:20 AM -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Katt and Suge each received citations at the scene.

Katt was cited for parking too close to a fire hydrant. Suge received a ticket related to multiple outstanding traffic warrants.

Katt Williams was detained by police in front of a Subway restaurant in West Hollywood Thursday night after cops suspected the comic was involved in some sort of "disturbance" at the restaurant, TMZ has learned ... but Katt says he did nothing wrong.

Katt tells TMZ ... the drama began while he was waiting in front of the Subway while his friend/tour manager Suge Knight was getting a manicure/pedicure at a nearby nail salon.

While he was waiting for Suge, cops arrived to the Subway and confronted Katt.

Cops tell TMZ ... they responded to a call about a disturbance involving the comic.

Katt was handcuffed and placed in the back of a squad car ... where he was smiling ... and even gave a thumbs up to a TMZ photog.

Eventually, Katt was released from custody and allowed to leave the scene.

Katt tells TMZ ... cops initially took some weed he was carrying at the time ... and a gun ... but eventually gave back both items because he had a medical marijuana card and a permit for the weapon.

However cops tell us ... there was no firearm ... and the only thing they found was an empty magazine for a .45 caliber gun.

Katt also says the incident was racially motivated.

Katt tells TMZ he wants to sue over the incident ... and is already thinking about contacting Gloria Allred ... it's unclear if he was joking.

After Katt had been released from custody, one Subway employee brought sandwiches for Katt and Suge. The Subway employee tells TMZ ... he never saw Katt involved in any sort of physical altercation.

It's only been 13 days since Katt's last arrest -- he was busted outside of Sacramento on Dec. 7 on a felony warrant related to a police chase.

Moments after Miss USA Olivia Culpa emerged victorious in the Miss Universe pageant, she celebrated like a true beauty queen ... by STUFFING HERSELF WITH ACTUAL FOOD!!!

Culpa had been on a strict diet for months leading up to the competition (probably why she KILLED IT in the swimsuit portion) ... and afterward, she decided to treat herself to a mini room service feast.

The 20-year-old tells us ... when she went back to her room at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas ... she "splurged" on the following meal:

-- One giant portion of penne pasta with chicken and red sauce
-- Some bread
-- Half a cupcake

SPLUUUURGE!!!!!!

Culpa says she was HOPING to add some cookie dough ice cream to her food party, but it just didn't happen. Bummer.

But there's more ... Olivia says she plans on eating a Reese's peanut butter cup "tree" thing in the near future ... because they have more peanut butter than the regular cups.

What a fatty.

La Toya Jackson wants nothing but the BEST for her two dogs -- telling TMZ, her little flea bags drink ONLY Fiji-brand water.

La Toya was out in Beverly Hills Sunday night when we asked her all about her two pups -- named Prince and Paris ... after La Toya's famous niece and nephew.

And that's when she dropped the bombshell -- telling our camera guy, her furry friends ONLY drink that ridiculously expensive Fiji-brand artesian water in those clear plastic bottles.

Notre Dame and the University of Alabama are taking their beef to a new level -- TMZ has learned, the mayors of both college towns have made a friendly wager in honor of the BCS National Championship ... and a whole lot of BBQ goodness is at stake.

If the Fighting Irish win -- Tuscaloosa mayor Walt Maddox will send a heaping portion of coma-inducing grub from Dreamland Bar-B-Que to a rep for South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Maddox has also agreed to donate money to South Bend Big Brothers Big Sisters.

But if 'Bama wins -- Buttigieg has agreed to send gourmet chocolates from the South Bend Chocolate Company ... and will donate to the Tuscaloosa Tornado Recovery Fund.

We're not suggesting either team would throw the BCS Championship on January 7 -- but BBQ and chocolate are awesome.

Unencumbered by babysitting, Casey Anthony dined on hot wings and fries at a Florida restaurant ... so claim people at the restaurant.

A woman who sure looks like the famous former defendant is seen in the photo chowing down at Flanigan's Seafood Bar and Grill in Lake Worth, looking somber -- as if someone just died.

The restaurant was mum when we called, saying they don't comment on people who patronize the joint.

Kim Kardashian's trip to a milkshake shop in Bahrain got us thinking -- do they slap Middle Eastern celeb names on their shakes? If not ... they should ... 'cause we already did.

You're mega-millionaire and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney and it's Thanksgiving ... so what do you do for your fancy-schmancy feast? Order a turkey from a fast food chain, duh.

Romney spent Turkey Day with the fam in San Diego, but rather than waste time cooking ... his son Josh hit up a Boston Market for the bird and all the fixings, according to The Washington Post.

Why Boston Market -- besides the fact that it's delicious? The Post says it was too difficult for the famous fam to cook a big feast with a lot of little kids (Mitt's grandkids) running around.

No trademark lawsuit, no cry ... because Bob Marley's family just buried the hatchet with Bob's half-bro ... who they claimed was illegally using the reggae-master's face for profit.

TMZ broke the story ... Bob's widow and nine of his children filed a suit against Richard Booker for trademark infringement, claiming he was selling a slew of products -- including fish cakes, fish sausage, energy drinks, concerts and more -- by slapping Bob's face on them.

But Booker fought back and filed a counter-suit, claiming Bob himself gave him permission to use his famous name just before he died.

According to docs filed this month, the fam and Booker put the whole mess behind them and settled their beef out of court.

Adult film star Briana Banks -- star of the classic films "Chinny Chinny Bang Bang" and "Vaggie Burger" -- was arrested for DUI in L.A. this week ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement, Banks -- an AVN porn Hall of Famer -- got into a fender bender with another car around 9 AM on Wednesday.

Moments after the incident, we're told a witness contacted police ... and advised them that Banks may have been under the influence of something at the time of the crash.

We're told cops spotted Briana's car leaving the drive-thru at a nearby Micky D's -- so they pulled her over ... and gave her a field sobriety test.

Banks bombed ... and was immediately arrested for being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

The XXX star was hauled to a nearby station where she was booked and released. No word if she was allowed to keep the munchies she scored during the fast food run.

"Gangnam Style" singer Psy will NOT sue an L.A. restaurant for naming itself after the famous song -- in fact, Psy's pumped ... because as far as he's concerned ... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The Koreatown restaurant was previously known as Soju Town -- but it re-opened last month after a brief closure under its new name "Gangnam Style," clearly an homage to the popular song.

The restaurant never bothered to get Psy's permission to use the name -- but sources close to the singer tell TMZ, he doesn't give a crap ... because where he comes from, imitation is a form of honor.

We're told Psy's team briefly considered legal action when they caught wind of the new restaurant, but since Psy doesn't care ... they don't plan to pursue anything.

The New Orleans Saints got a rude and messy welcome to Atlanta last night ... as airport workers hurled eggs at a charter bus carrying the team!

The smelly assault went down moments after the Saints got off the plane in Atlanta and boarded a bus. Officials at Atlanta's airport confirm that eggs were thrown at the bus as it drove off the tarmac.

Several Saints players, including star tight end Jimmy Graham, blamed airport workers for the incident.

Graham tweeted ...

Airport officials say they are scrambling to find out who's unleashed the eggy hell.

The Saints flew in for tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons -- and we're guessing the egg culprits are big fans of the dirty birds.

If you recall, Kim got into some hot water after tweeting about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and vowed to get informed about the political situation in the region while she was in Kuwait and Bahrain ... to open up a couple of Millions of Milkshakes shops.

Jessica Simpson kept herself to a strict Weight Watchers regimen in order to lose SIXTY POUNDS after her pregnancy -- a regimen filled with low-fat smoothies, protein, and veggies -- and TMZ has obtained her 4-month crash diet plan.

The plan -- crafted by Jessica's former private chef -- closely follows the WW point system, with fancy homemade menu items like egg white omelets, chicken satays, whipped chick peas, soba noodles, and shrimp skewers.

It all kicked off in July with a 15-day smoothie diet: 5 days of 3 smoothies a day (with 2 healthy snacks); 5 days of 2 smoothies a day (2 healthy snacks, 1 meal); and 5 days of 1 smoothie day (with 2 snacks and 2 meals).

For a while, it didn't look as if she'd lose any weight at all -- at least based on her terrible WW commercial -- so we gotta say ... we're impressed.

It's official ... Octomom has completed 30 days of rehab -- and she celebrated the achievement yesterday by reuniting with her 14 children at the Thanksgiving dinner table ... and TMZ has the pics.

A rep for Octomom -- real name Nadya Suleman -- tells TMZ, she completed her 30-day program at Chapman Rehab yesterday and immediately went home to help prepare a Thanksgiving meal for her kids.

We're told the meal consisted of a whole ham, apple sauce, stuffing, and your usual Turkey Day fixins ... minus the turkey. (Seriously, they didn't eat any turkey.)

As we reported, Nadya entered treatment for a Xanax dependency and anxiety issues -- and her rep tells us, she's so committed to conquering her demons ... she has voluntarily agreed to attend additional treatment sessions while she lives at home.

Octo's nannies have been keeping the children on strict schedules for sleeping, eating, bathing, and homework while mommy was away -- and Octo plans to follow the same program now that she's back.

The rep says Octo's extremely proud of her rehab achievements, but knows there's still lots of work to be done.

11/26 -- A rep for The Palm has released a statement to TMZ ... claiming the allegations against the restaurant are "quite simply, untrue."

The rep adds, "At The Palm, we take all health inspections, very seriously. In addition to random inspections by the Health Board, we employ an independent third party quarterly auditor to assist us with conformity assessment to pre-established regulatory, industry and proprietary brand standards."

"Our West Hollywood location has always maintained the A rating by the Health Department and receives high scores by our independent auditor."

The former Executive Chef at one of the most legendary celebrity restaurants in Hollywood has filed a lawsuit, claiming the eatery is riddled with problems, including allegations of some disgusting bathroom lapses ... but the suit's a little suspicious because the health dept. has consistently given the eatery an A.

Humphrey Lansiquot claims he was fired as Exec Chef from The Palm in West Hollywood, after lodging a slew of complaints, including:

-- employees refusal and failure to wash their hands after using bathroom
-- bacteria filled cooking pots
-- live lobsters killed and pre-cooked ahead of service time and left out for 8 hours
-- constant rodent, cockroach and fly infestations
-- mold, oil and grease seeping through floor holes
-- pre-cooked crab cakes, cheeses, sauces, creamed spinich and prime rib left out at room temp for hours
-- sea foods, beef and chicken mixed on the same counters

And, the most shocking allegation of all -- "customers were unaware that steaks, lobsters, fish, crab cakes, baked potatoes and other food dishes were micro-waved." He also claims the restaurant would pass off Strip Loin Vein Steaks as other cuts of meat.

Lansiquot claims he constantly complained about the practices to management and was told "to keep his mouth shut." He says after he was fired, management "began replacing faulty and unsafe equipment and instituted new procedures in an attempt to cover up the issues Plaintiff complained about."

Interestingly, the suit makes no mention of Laqnsiquot ever going to the health dept. to complain. In L.A. County restaurants are inspected without warning and graded, and the last 4 times (that's as far back as we can check), The Palm has gotten an A.

The restaurant is a fancy chain that has franchises in NYC, Washington D.C. and many other places. It's famous for the caricatures of celebs on the wall.

"Moonshiners" star Tickle -- no last name -- has a secret weapon to blow the pants off all your Thanksgiving guests ... a cornbread recipe to end all cornbread recipes ... and for the first time ever, he's releasing it to the public.

Tickle describes the recipe in detail on the video -- but here's a taste ... the secret ingredient is BACON ... so you can't go wrong.
