He may have a cracked toe ... a disgusting, bloody, broken toe ... but Jon "Bones" Jones stomached the pain last night and crutched out for some delicious BBQ in NYC.

In case you haven't seen the injury -- don't, it's gross -- but Jones exploded his little piggy during his UFC 159 beatdown of Chael Sonnen this weekend ... and now, he's gotta use crutches to get around.

In fact, Jones felt healthy enough to venture out to Dallas BBQ in Times Square ... and told TMZ he's doing well and feels good.

George W. Bush's posse wasn't about to get fancy for the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum ... no champagne or caviar for these staffers and secret service ... they went for fried chicken!

The folks at Bubba's Cooks Country -- about a mile from the museum -- tell TMZ they were flooded with Bush folk following the ceremony Thursday ... most of whom took advantage of Bubba's two-breast dinner (which comes with a roll and two sides).

We're told 40 former Bush White House administrators from the Department of Labor were among the fried chicken fans, including former Deputy Secretary of Labor Steven J. Law.

Double beef patty, special sauce? Not for Rapper Mack 10 ... who axed Big Macs (and pretty much all things cow) from his life ... and lost an incredible 60 plus pounds in the process!!!

The "Westside Connection" rapper's been HUGE since the mid '90s ... so after our photog spotted him out in L.A. last week (above) looking svelte, we contacted him to find out what's up.

Mack tells us ... he's majorly slimmed down by cutting all red meat from his life -- "I used to love to be able to order a burger or get a fat ass steak, but now I am up on eating fish, chicken and s**t."

FYI -- At his heaviest Mack was 267 and now he's South of 200.

Mack says it's all thanks to his kids -- "I want to make sure I can keep up with them. It's hard to eat healthy but that's something I got to do to make my life right."

We'll bow down to that.

She's practically old enough to be his mom ... but that didn't stop Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly from hopping into a car with Harry Styles last night after a romantic dinner in L.A..

There's been a lot of speculation that 19-year-old Harry has been dating the 33-year-old ... fresh off his breakup from Taylor Swift ... and it's clear from the video, something is definitely going on.

Harry and Kimberly joined Rod and his wife Penny for dinner at Dan Tana's -- and sources inside the restaurant tell TMZ, H&K were flirtatiously fooling around throughout the meal.

There are reports Harry was targeting Rod's 25-year-old daughter Ruby ... but our sources insist Kimberly was DEFINITELY the touchy one. FYI, Kimberly recently had a baby with Benicio Del Toro.

Former Philadelphia Eagles QB and soup pitchman Donovan McNabb was put to the test -- when asked to name the best soup of all-time. Get ready ... for the first (and probably last) Soup-er Bowl!

NFL draft favorite Jarvis "Dawg Bones" Jones is getting better footlong treatment than Jenna Jameson ... because TMZ has learned, Subway is giving him free sandwiches ... FOR LIFE!

Jarvis -- a projected 1st-rounder in tomorrow's NFL Draft -- just signed a tasty 6-figure endorsement deal with Subway ... that included the elusive Subway Black Card, which can be used to purchase all the sandwiches the holder wants, and never expires.

Jones -- a 6'3," 241-pound linebacker out of Georgia -- joins a pretty exclusive group of black card holders, which includes Michael Strahan and Robert Griffin III.

According to the experts, Jarvis will probably be selected within the first 10 picks of tomorrow's draft -- and will become an instant millionaire.

Just days after his DUI arrest, Al Michaels ventured back out to Hollywood to another fancy restaurant ... but instead of hiring a driver, he decided to take the wheel himself.

TMZ was outside of Toscana restaurant in Brentwood last night when Michaels -- along with his wife -- rolled up in the same black Mercedes-Benz he was driving the night of his arrest.

We broke the story ... Michaels was popped for drunk driving in Santa Monica on Friday after making an illegal U-turn in front of cops. Sources tell us his blood alcohol level was JUUUST above the legal limit.

Just two months after suffering a heart attack, Sylvester Stallone's unbelievable mother Jackie Stallone resurfaced on her two feet ... shopping for discount groceries at a 99 Cent store in L.A. on Monday.

Taking a cue from her buff "Rocky" star son, the on the mend 91-year-old celebrity astrologer proved to be a true fighter as she stocked her cart with cheap, healthy fruits and vegetables just weeks after her health scare.

Absolutely nothing can keep Jackie away from a good bargain.

Justin Bieber's hijinks are apparently contagious ... a woman who claims she was hired to work as his chef has been charged with beating up her boyfriend.

Sara Horowitz -- who placed 4th in Season 2 of "Hell's Kitchen" -- apparently isn't very nimble when it comes to food -- because according to legal docs ... she dropped a cooler filled with food inside a car and it made a mess.

Apparently Sara's boyfriend -- El Paso TV weatherman Mark Mathis -- was none too pleased, and they started arguing. According to cops, things escalated and Sara allegedly punched and kicked Mark, breaking his glasses and scratching his face.

She was arrested April 10 for assault/family violence and charged the next day with a misdemeanor.

We reached out to Sara -- so far, no comment.

Hey Sara ... Justin's available.

A very large teen claims the "Rachael Ray" show is more brutal than CrossFit, more grueling than P90X, more intense than "The Biggest Loser" -- and it all ended with humiliation and anxiety.

Christina Pagliarolo -- who weighed in at 260 lbs -- agreed to be part of a segment on overweight teens. She claims in her lawsuit ... the trainer made her run like Forrest Gump, yelled and screamed at her, and made her hike in the mountains.

Worst of all, she says the trainer put her on a StairMaster and kept cranking up the speed until she fell off the machine ... and then he yelled at her for falling.

Christina says she was a mess after training ... suffering serious injuries including messed up legs.

Christina is suing for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Gordon Ramsay faces a really expensive restaurant bill ... and we're not talking $300 for foie gras and sturgeon. We're talking about a $45k bill for stuff you can't even eat.

Ramsay hired a company to trick out Fat Cow, his extremely popular restaurant at The Grove in L.A.. Gordon clearly doesn't settle for Kenmore appliances. The range, fryers, countertops, shelving, dishwashers, exhaust hoods, exhaust ducts, fridges, and other accoutrements totaled $191,235.24.

According to a lawsuit filed by the company that outfitted the joint, Gordon paid some of the bill but not all -- there's a pesky $45,350.35 balance which allegedly has gone unpaid.

So Gordon is going to court, where the cafeteria food is abysmal. Trust us.

If Alex Rodriguez wants to lounge in the sun while his teammates play baseball ... Artie Lange thinks A-Rod needs to spend some of his $29 million salary on a round of beers -- for all of Yankee Stadium!

We're exaggerating a little, but Artie -- a die-hard Yankees fan -- is definitely pissed about the photos of A-Rod and his gf Torrie Wilson sunbathing in Miami while he's out of the lineup ... rehabbing his injured hip.

You gotta see Artie's rant about A-Rod's astronomical salary and how much it's costing fans. It starts like this -- "Just imagine you're a forklift operator who makes $35,000 a year and you've got an enormously fat son that you like taking to Yankee games" ... and you gotta buy 4 hot dogs for him.

Artie goes off ... and you gotta hear it in his words. It is HYSTERICAL!

And by the way, Artie does have a way for A-Rod to make it up to the fans. It involves ... a bodega and rape.

Frank McCourt is covering his bases for today's legal battle with ex-wife Jamie McCourt ... he dined last night with a priest.

Frank was at Toscana restaurant in Brentwood with a very hot young woman and the man of the cloth.

So the questions:

1. Since we've seen Frank with this woman before, we were wondering if he's tying the knot again -- with the help of the priest.

2. If he's not getting hitched again, was he looking for some divine intervention to torpedo Jamie's claim that Frank screwed her out of hundreds of millions of bucks by undervaluing the Dodgers.

3. How does Frank feel about what Magic Johnson said -- that he'd support and protect a member of the Dodgers who came out of the closet?

Robert Griffin III's amazing rookie season ended with a horrific knee injury, but the Washington Redskins' superhuman QB looks ready for action again -- and claims he'll be even BETTER next year.

RGIII -- who showed no signs of a limp last night outside of Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills -- said he's "feeling good" and brushed off the injury ... reminding us the torn ACL he suffered in college was way worse.

When our camera guy pumped up RGIII telling him he'd be just as good this coming season -- Griffin shot back, "I'll be better."

Former POTUS and peanut farmer Jimmy Carter has VERY specific taste when it comes to his nut butters ... and you'll never guess what it is.

88-year-old Carter -- who ran his family's peanut farm before entering politics -- was out in New York yesterday when we asked how he liked his delicious nutty spreads ... and Carter actually answered.

It's finally clear why Lindsay Lohan blew off her deposition in L.A. yesterday ... she REALLY wanted sushi.

Lohan was spotted in New York last night ... walking into Lure Fishbar on Mercer Street ... famous for its fresh, raw fish selection.

We broke the story ... hours before her fish dinner, LiLo no-showed for the scheduled depo on the other side of the country ... in a lawsuit filed by a paparazzo who claims Lindsay's assistant hit him with her car and put him in the hospital.

Lindsay's attorney had told the pap's lawyers that she couldn't get in touch with Lohan -- but it's probably because she wasn't looking in the right fish joint.
