Famous Food

It costs a FORTUNE to feed 23 mouths ... just ask TLC reality star Jim Bob Duggar who took his enormous family out for burgers in NYC yesterday -- and we know exactly how much they spent.

Jim Bob -- along with his wife Michelle and 21 other family members -- hit up Bill's Bar & Burger in Manhattan ... splurging on burgers, shakes, fries, onion rings, you name it.

FYI -- Burgers start at $7.95 and could double in price if you want cheese and/or another burger patty. Shakes run in the $6 range ... $4 for fries ... $8 for nachos ... $2 per soda.

Buuuuut ... the "19 Kids & Counting" fam did get a nice discount ... 6 of the children qualified for the kids menu -- $7.95 per meal.

So, what was the final bill??? We'll give you THREE options -- click on the image for the answer!

It's been almost 25 years since Orel Hershiser fireballed the L.A. Dodgers past the Oakland A's in the 1988 World Series ... and this week, he reminded everyone of his former greatness by rocking his championship ring to dinner in Bev Hills.

Orel -- who's now part of ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" team -- was out at Madeo with friends this weekend ... when we noticed a large, shiny, blue object on his pitching hand.

Turns out, Orel still believes in showing off the goods in public ... 'cause the bling turned out to be his '88 ring ... and Orel was quick to flash it to the cameras.

On one hand, it's pretty badass ... on the other hand, it's a little Springsteen "Glory Days."

The ultimate A-list power dinner went down in Berlin this weekend, when Matt Damon, John Goodman, George Clooney -- accompanied by his mustache -- and Bill Murray joined forces to break bread schnitzel together.

They're all in Germany shooting their new flick "The Monuments Men," so we gotta ask:

There's no such thing as a free lunch ... at least not in the soap opera world, a lesson Tony Todd recently learned the hard way.

Todd -- a notorious character actor from movies like "Candyman" and a few "Final Destination" movies -- just began a run on the popular soap opera, "The Young and The Restless."

Yesterday at LAX, Todd told our photog he loves doing daytime TV ... except for the fact they don't provide food. Todd says he has to slum it at the commissary and foot the bill himself!

There are two ways to look at the video we shot of Omarion last night ...

The first way to look at it ... It's VERY COOL that a bona fide R&B superstar went to a local Hollywood chicken wing restaurant on karaoke night and treated everyone to a live karaoke performance of his hit song "M.I.A."

The other way to look at it -- What a d-bag.

So, here's what happened ... Omarion hit up Big Wang's chicken joint in Hollywood last night ... and took the mic at the karaoke machine.

The performance was pretty damn good ... he's clearly talented. The people in the bar clearly enjoyed the performance.

But some people in the TMZ newsroom have a bit of a problem with the stunt ... saying it's pretty egotistical ... and sad ... to karaoke your own hit.

Dennis Rodman was given full dignitary treatment during his visit to North Korea, which included a ridiculous presidential feast ... TMZ has learned.

During Dennis' 3-day excursion, we're told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threw a lavish dinner -- 15 courses, which included sushi, turkey, beef filet, kimchi, and a whole roasted pig.

After the feast, Dennis and Kim Jong were entertained by an all-girl orchestra -- the Moranbong Band. They were serenaded with American TV and movie theme songs, including "Dallas" and "Rocky."

We found video of the girls playing the "Rocky" theme song last year (below).

As for what Dennis and Kim Jong talked about ... he's not saying. We're guessing the payoff will be the HBO show which filmed the spectacle.

Adrienne Maloof is picking a food fight with Lisa Vanderpump by opening a competing restaurant ... and Adrienne is telling her business associates, she's gonna "kick Lisa's ass!"

TMZ has learned ... Adrienne -- who is leaving "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" -- is opening a restaurant in Bev Hills, just blocks from Lisa's Villa Blanca.

Adrienne is telling her business partners her restaurant will blow Villa Blanca away. In fact, she's saying on a scale of 1-10 (10 being great), her archrival's restaurant gets a 2, calling it "a disaster."

As for Adrienne's eatery, it will offer comfort food -- steaks, seafood with a Mediterranean twist. It will seat 200 people and will be "celebrity friendly" -- with a private entrance in the back.

As for Lisa, she told TMZ yesterday her business is great and said if Adrienne's been complaining that "Real Housewives" hurt her business it's her own damn fault.

How's this for awkward -- Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom came face-to-face with the Kardashian family's arch nemesis last night ... Kris Humphries ... after the two NBA players accidentally ended up at the same NYC restaurant ... at the same exact time.

The restaurant is called Catch (try the lobster mac and cheese) but we're told Kris and Lamar sat at completely separate tables ... and didn't utter a single word to each other.

According to sources, both players eventually exited the restaurant without incident.

Honey Boo Boo and Mama June kept their word -- after getting shut down online -- and took to the Milledgeville Mall in Georgia yesterday to help a local Girl Scouts troop sell some delicious, delicious cookies.

As TMZ first reported, the Girl Scouts of the USA had a big problem with HBB using her Facebook page to peddle the delicious, delicious cookies -- because it was cheating.

But the Boo Boo clan promised to keep on helping and they did just that, with the whole family in tow -- Sugar Bear, Chubbs, Pumpkin, Chickadee and baby Kaitlyn.

Alana even made a deal with customers ... agreeing to pose for a pic if they bought five boxes of those delicious, delicious cookies.

Jessica Simpson and baby daddy Eric Johnson hit up an In-N-Out drive-thru for lunch in Westwood yesterday.

Looks like her baby wasn't the only one in the family dining on Double Doubles this weekend.

Honey Boo Boo's dad is in danger of getting his redneck card pulled -- 'cause TMZ has learned Sugar Bear's health is forcing him to cut out ... FRIED FOOD!!!

Sugar Bear was released from the hospital on Thursday after checking in last week with severe chest pains. Doctors diagnosed him with pancreatitis.

Mama June tells us Sugar's “feeling pretty good, for the most part” -- and doctors say if he takes his meds he should be able to keep flare-ups under control.

But June says doctors also advised Sugar to lay off fried and spicy foods -- no small feat for anyone living in the deep south.

June says the family plans to eat the same stuff they'd normally eat -- which ain't exactly Lean Cuisine -- and Sugar will just have to sit out on fried chicken nights.

Mama June and Honey Boo Boo are going full steam ahead with their Girl Scout cookie campaign ... despite stern warnings from the Girl Scout organization.

As we reported, the Girl Scouts of the USA contacted HBB today to remove a banner she had put on her Facebook, in which she solicited sales for Girl Scout cookies from her 700,000 fans. (FYI -- HBB's not even a Girl Scout. She just agreed to help a Girl Scout friend of hers.)

A rep for the GSUSA told us they had the banner removed because it was unfair to other Girl Scouts trying to sell cookies.

But Mama June tells TMZ, she's going to continue selling Girl Scout cookies any way she can ... even if she's not allowed to post advertisements on HBB's Facebook ... because it's for a family friend.

June tells us, "If I can raise more money for a troop, whoever they are, especially in an area where they don’t get a lot of money, and parents can’t afford to buy a ton of cookies, why wouldn't I help?"

She added, "We're doing nothing wrong."

Honey Boo Boo hawking Girl Scout cookies to her hundreds of thousands of fans online is UNFAIR ... so says a rep for the Girl Scouts of the USA, so the organization shut down her campaign.

HBB posted the ad on her Facebook page -- which has 701,000 likes. She also got in the girl scouts' faces by posting pictures of stacks of boxes that she sold. FYI ... she's not selling the cookies for herself ... she's doing it for a friend.

It didn't go down well with the organization. A rep for GSUSA in Georgia tells TMZ ... they contacted her site's administrator and explained online selling is off-limits, because it defeats the whole purpose of selling the cookies -- to teach girls all sorts of things, including goal setting, people skills, etc.

So HBB's people took down the ads, but get this ... the sales she's already made will be counted.

Bobby Brown's going to jail ... Lisa Vanderpump's going to "Dancing With the Stars" -- we're not sure what they have in common ... but they were buddy buddy last night after a fancy celebration dinner.

TMZ broke the story ... on Tuesday Bobby was sentenced to 55 days in jail for his third DUI -- but on Wednesday night he enjoyed dinner at Madeo with family and friends ... and walked out of the restaurant arm-in-arm with Vanderpump.

It's news to us that BB and the 'Real Housewives' stars are pals ... but last night they even joked (we hope) about sharing custody of LV's pooch, Giggy.

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is so damn fast ... he went to a nightclub, pulled a bunch of chicks AND scarfed a hot dog ... all in the blink of an eye.

Johnson hit up Supperclub in Hollywood last night ... sporting a pair of pants that sagged down below his ass cheeks. Hey, it's the style ...

But the chicks didn't seem to mind ... 'cause after Johnson was finished inside the club, he ordered some street meat (one of those sidewalk hot dogs) ... and proceeded to chat up a couple of ladies.

Eventually, the chicks climbed into a waiting SUV ... and a few minutes later, Chris joined the group.

Somewhere, General Larry Platt is FUMING!!!

Nothing goes better with "Pi" than a big, fat juicy In-N-Out burger ... just ask Best Director winner Ang Lee.

The man behind "Life of Pi" scarfed the hell out of a burger after the award show last night ... statue in one hand, glorious food in the other.

Lee puts the Ang in Angus.
