Famous Food

Pete Davidson's flexing a lot more than his comedy muscles these days ... proving he's got real physical ones too -- looking ripped while grabbing some delivered groceries off his stoop.

The actor was spotted in New York City outside his place Friday morning ... wearing a small white tank top which showed off his buff arms -- a pretty clear sign he's been working out recently.

Also worth pointing out ... that tattoos that used to cover his arms are super faded now -- so, it looks like the laser removal is really working for him.

Hulk Hogan wants to breathe new life into Hooters ... with his Real American Brands making a bid to buy the iconic restaurant chain's branding, TMZ Sports has learned.

We're told the WWE legend and his company want to acquire the Hooters intellectual property as part of a mission to take over existing brands that represent what America is all about -- "freedom, grit and good times" -- and bring them back to relevance.

"Hooters is more than just wings and nostalgia -- it's part of the American story," the folks at Real American told us. "We see enormous potential to modernize the brand without losing its bold identity. Under our umbrella, Hooters will return to the spotlight as a symbol of unfiltered Americana -- fun, fearless, and proudly American."

As the first week of testimony in the Diddy trial draws to a close, TMZ has obtained more never-before-seen footage of Diddy and his A-list pals chillin' and chowin' down on some bird at Thanksgiving dinner in 2017.

Check out the footage... Diddy is hosting Thanksgiving dinner at his L.A. mansion, and the guest list is just insane! Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa can be seen on a couch chatting with some folks -- and both seem to be havin' a good ol' time.

Usher is also in the house ... at one point, the R&B singer is seen shaking hands with Diddy, who is smiling brightly as the two shoot the s**t. .

Donald Trump’s not sweating homesickness on his Saudi Arabia trip -- he’s got the ultimate fast track to American comfort ... McDonald’s.

As seen in this clip from a journalist in Riyadh, a mobile McDonald’s was brought in just in case Trump’s cravings kicked in -- because we all know he’s got a well-documented, deep-fried love for the fast-food chain.

The double-decker trailer was parked outside a media hub called "Media Oasis," where journalists were hosted. As of now, it’s unclear if the President's already stopped by for a Happy Meal, or is planning to chow down later.

Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans are finally ready to let bygones be bygones after years locked in a bitter feud ... and they sealed the decision over Mexican food in Las Vegas.

The "Teen Mom" alums made nice and let go of the bitterness over grub Thursday night at Lucia -- a restaurant at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

And the pair did not dine alone ... they were also joined by fellow "Teen Mom" star Ashley Jones, who also formerly feuded with Farrah, and just like Jenelle, she's recently single.

Animal rights activist Varun Virlan says he's horrified at a video that has gone viral -- showing a woman seasoning and then air-frying two crabs while they were still alive!

ICYMI ... a TikToker posted a cooking video last week showing how she prepared a dish featuring blue crabs -- she seasons some potatoes and corn, then the live crustaceans themselves, before placing them, still alive, in a glass-bottom air-fryer and cooking them for 15 minutes, with the camera showing their demise.

We spoke to the Virlan, the digital media director of Animal Save Movement, who says videos like these are exactly the problem with how crabs are excluded from being considered protected animals -- like dogs, cats, horses -- and are seen more like vegetables than animals.

The feds would probably say Luigi Mangione got his just desserts on his birthday -- 'cause he had to nosh on some crappy prison food!!!

TMZ obtained a copy of Luigi's breakfast, lunch and dinner menus for his 27th birthday Tuesday, while locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

And while much of the food is the type of stuff we all eat ...it all seems kind of nasty when you factor in the whole jailhouse aspect.

Zach Yadegari is an 18-year-old high school senior from Long Island, NY who founded a calorie-counting app that's worth tens of millions of dollars -- but that wasn't enough to gain admission to Ivy League schools ... and now he's going all LeBron James by taking his talents to South Beach.

The entrepreneur joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and we asked him how in the world he got rejected from top universities like Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton and Yale.

Zach was still in high school when he rolled out Cal AI, an app that uses artificial intelligence to help people count calories ... all they have to do is snap a photo of their food and the app tells them how many calories are on their plate.

Megan Thee Stallion has partnered with the Popeyes restaurant chain for years, and it appears the H-Town hottie is stepping out on her own and building her own chicken shack!!!

On Tuesday, Meg donned a hard hat and joined the construction crew for a tour at her developing Popeyes location -- In Miami.

Judging from the early aughts, Meg's Popeyes will be one big party.

Rap legend Bun B's second act as a fast-food employee is going mighty swell ... his Trill Burgers franchise opened its 2nd location on Fry-day!!!

Bun's new location is posted up in 25 miles north of downtown Houston in Spring, Texas -- about an hour away from the flagship Trill Burgers in Houston.

The new hub is a 3K-square-foot revamped Dairy Queen and will introduce a new menu item -- Trill Lemonade, available in classic, strawberry and iced tea Arnold Palmer flavors.

Slutty Vegan owner Pinky Cole can't condone Wallo's divisive comments about supporting Black-owned businesses -- even if they're lacking, she says there's still a duty to uphold!!!

TMZ caught up with Pinky at LAX on Thursday where she told us she has no malice in her disagreement with the Million Dollarz Worth of Game co-host ... but she does indeed disagree.

Wallo called patronizing Black businesses off their race relations alone a "hustle" -- but Pinky says spenders gotta "lift as you climb" ... without her support, other operations won't have the chance to blow up like the successful restaurant chain Slutty Vegan did!!!

Pinky also dished on the DEI ... as a successful -- and Black -- business owner, her personal experiences often leave her as the only minority in the room, and she feels programs to allot diversity are still needed.

She's overcome recent obstacles ... nearly losing her Slutty Vegan brand to the clutches of corporate overspending to the tune of $10 million, but she has a new refocus that has her back in the driver's seat.

Cops say a prankster tried to throw Gordon Ramsay into the frying pan ... calling in a bogus 911 report of a shooting at the famous chef's Los Angeles home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD officers responded to the call at 8:40 PM Tuesday after an unknown person called in a report of a gunman opening fire at Gordon's mansion in Bel Air.

But, we're told when the cops arrived, they didn't find so much as a dish out of place ... police say they even spoke with neighbors who confirmed nothing had happened. Our sources say Ramsay was not home at the time.

Dylan Meyer is now happily married to Kristen Stewart ... and she's showing off her gold wedding band for the world to see.

TMZ obtained a photo of Dylan dressed casually in a T-shirt and sweatpants outside her Los Angeles home -- flashing her shiny new ring --- after she tied the knot with the famous actress in a private ceremony Sunday.

The photog snapped the pic Monday and it captures Dylan greeting an Uber Eats delivery driver, who handed her food from Joe & the Juice cafe.

Barack and Michelle Obama appear to be going strong despite ongoing rumors about the state of their marriage ... the former first couple was seen out at dinner Saturday night at Osteria Mozza, a fancy restaurant in Georgetown, in Washington, D.C.

The Obamas' periodic dinner outings have not put to rest rumors about marriage troubles and a possible divorce ... after Michelle was absent from some recent official events, and Barry himself was seen out to dinner without her in March.

The Obamas were warmly greeted by the crowd at the eatery Saturday, with cheers and a round of applause accompanying them as they walked to their table.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori aren't just meeting up for dinner and a drink ... they're spending a ton of time together -- including arriving side by side to their rendezvous.

TMZ has obtained video of the two stars pulling up to Indian fusion restaurant Cala d’Or Friday evening ... a gourmet spot on Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands.

It's a short clip ... but, KW -- who appears to be wearing a black mask like we've seen him wearing in the past -- and BC are clearly comfortable around one another, walking into the restaurant after seemingly arriving in the same car.
