Aaron Rodgers has been red-hot over the last month, and the fuel for his performance can be found in the magical facial hair of one man ... SAM ELLIOTT!

The Green Bay Packers QB broke down famous moustaches with Jim Rome -- in honor of Movember -- and crowned Elliott's the most inspirational of all time ... and even cited its performance in "Tombstone."

Rodgers also shouted out a couple other celeb 'staches during the Rome interview, which airs tonight at 10 on Showtime.

By the way, Rodgers' moustache is in the middle of an NFC-best 5 game winning streak.

In related news, Jets fans are praying their QB sprouts whiskers -- no matter how dirty it looks.

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

Lil Wayne wants to spend a night IN PARIS -- at least according to a new unreleased duet with Paris Hilton ... in which Weezy references the most famous sex tape of all time.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the song -- which Paris hopes to feature on an upcoming album -- and it's actually not that bad.

But the clincher -- Weezy raps, "Excuse my french, but f**k the cameras / I wanna spend a night in Paris."

Flo Rida's ridiculous Jesus bling ignited a 2,000-year-old race debate -- was J.C. actually black? If he was, we've got a great new hymn ... with soul.

The author who created "Mary Poppins" had a spoon full of HATRED for everyone affiliated with her movie ... this according to "Poppins" star Dick Van Dyke.

DVD -- who played Bert in the 1964 classic -- was out in Malibu yesterday ... and told us he was super-excited about Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney in an upcoming movie about the making of "Mary Poppins."

But Dick explained ... there was some MAJOR DRAMA behind the scenes, telling us author P.L. Travers -- who created the Mary Poppins children's books -- battled Disney for 20 years before begrudgingly allowing him to make the film.

"She didn't want to do it," Van Dyke says ... "She just hated the idea ... she hated Julie [Andrews] and she hated me."

In fact, Travers hated the movie so much, she put it in her will that NO AMERICANS shall ever be granted permission to work on a Poppins project ever again.

We also asked Dick if there was any truth to the urban legend that Walt's head was cryogenically frozen -- but it's clear DVD ain't buyin' the rumors.

Steven Tyler had a rough morning -- not only did he not know what show he was on, he also dropped an F-bomb on live television!

Tyler -- who is probably never awake at such an early hour -- performed with Aerosmith on the "Today" show this morning ... only he thought he was on a different program. Al Roker's reaction ... priceless.

Then, while Roker was giving a weather update, Tyler screamed in the background to the crowd, "Thanks for coming out, you crazy f**ks!"

There was no delay, no bleep and cutting away from Tom Hanks this morning on "Good Morning America" as he dropped an F-bomb live on the air ... just seconds before predicting he would.

"GMA" host Elizabeth Vargas asked Hanks to speak in the same accent he does in his new movie, "Cloud Atlas." Hanks said that would be tricky since it's mostly swear words ... and then he proceeded to try ... and cursed anyway!

Hanks apologized profusely, as did Vargas, and Hanks made another (probably) accurate prediction ... that his next appearance on the show will come with a seven second delay.

James Gandolfini tackled the mother of all political debates: Abraham Lincoln or George Washington ... who'd kick whose ass? Let the $1 bill versus $5 bill battle royale begin!

So there we were ... walking around NYC today when we saw a woman giving birth in the middle of a park. And get this, Jonah Hill was there too ... taking pictures.

The whole situation was pretty crazy ... our photog stumbled upon the scene by pure happenstance ... where emergency workers had just loaded the woman into an ambulance.

But after the dust settled ... we randomly noticed Jonah snapping a cell phone pic of the birthy aftermath near the bench where the woman was sitting when she went into labor.

We tried to ask Hill about the situation ... but he seemed a little too embarrassed to talk and beat a hasty exit with his pretty lady friend.

We don't blame ya for taking pictures, J. It's not like that kinda stuff happens every day.

3:45 PM PT -- Jonah just tweeted about our awesome encounter. PLACENTA.

Talk about an Olympic low blow ... some dude on the French basketball team just delivered a closed-fist scrotum punch to a Spanish player ... sending the guy crumbling to the floor in agonizing pain.

The ball-punisher is France's Nic Batum ... who obliterated Juan Carlos Navarro's bean bag in the 4th quarter of their quarterfinal matchup ... in an effort to intentionally foul the guy. Batum was NOT ejected from the game.

Seems testicle attacks are all the rage at the Olympics this year -- just yesterday, Team USA member Carmelo Anthony took a fist to the no-no zone from a guy on the Argentina squad.

She's once ... twice ... three times a lady.

The producers of the new "Total Recall" remake finally debuted the brand new 3-boob'd hooker ... played by Kaitlyn Leeb ... and it's hot. hot. hot.

Leeb sported her costume at Comic-Con in San Diego this weekend ... revealing the iconic double cleavage made famous in the original Arnold Schwarzenegger version ... which was originally released back in 1990.

Fred Willard was arrested for lewd conduct last night in Hollywood when police allegedly caught him with his pants down in an adult movie theater ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources, LAPD undercover vice officers went into the Tiki Theater in Hollywood and found the 78-year-old "Anchorman" star watching last night's feature ... with his penis exposed and in his hand.

We're told Willard was arrested around 8:45PM and booked for lewd conduct.

It was a quick release -- we're told he was out of police custody a short while later.

As for which movie Fred was watching -- there are 3 flicks in rotation at the theater ... "Follow Me 2," a XXX parody of "The Client List," and "Step Dad No. 2."

According to IMDB, Fred is "rumored" to be in pre-production for a movie entitled ... "The Yank."

It's a comedy.

8:47 AM PT -- We're starting to get comments from people who say Fred is 72 and not 78 ... but official records show that he was born on September 18, 1933 ... NOT 1939.

7:06 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the LAPD vice officers were not conducting a raid ... but rather a "random walk-through" of the premises.

We're told ... when theaters like this get their license, they have to allow cops in whenever they want ... to inspect.

In fact, the theater has a sign posted in the front which warns customers that the theater is "viewed by LAPD."

The theater also warns, "No Alcohol, No Weapons, No smoking inside" ... and no pets.

The signs do not warn about flogging the dolphin.

7/19 -- Warrior's rep released a statement saying, "Mr Elias's allegations of criminal fraud are completely unfounded, ill-advised and unfortunate. This is a purely civil matter that is in the process of being resolved by our attorney."

The Ultimate Warrior has been named in a police report ... accused of bilking a collector out of $28k and a ton of wrestling merchandise, including ring-worn wrestling trunks ... TMZ has learned.

The report was filed with the Sante Fe County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico by a sports memorabilia dealer named Christopher Elias.

Elias claims he struck a $28k deal with Warrior, in which the wrestling legend agreed to send Elias a bunch of classic merchandise from his personal collection. Warrior was also supposed to sign twenty wrestling belts and ten Wrestlemania posters that Elias owned.

Elias says he paid Warrior nearly $30k for the gear and the autographs ... but claims the wrestler went MIA and never sent Elias any of the promised merchandise.

So, Elias filed the fraud report asking the Santa Fe Sheriff to bring criminal charges against Warrior. He also vows to sue the wrestling great if he doesn't get back his money and memorabilia ASAP.

We reached out to Warrior's rep for comment -- so far, no word back.

Mel Gibson proved he's more than just an angry dude who yells at people a lot -- he's also an avid FRUIT JUGGLER, and TMZ has the fruity footage.

The impromptu circus act went down outside of a bar in Austin, Texas last Thursday ... Mel showed off (for a pretty lady of course) his awesome juggling skills ... and we gotta admit, he's not too shabby.

Mel lays down two separate acts for the ladies, first he juggles 3 oranges ... then he gets serious and switches it up by only using one hand (but has fewer oranges).

He's the unsung hero who helped "Team America: World Police" save the motherf**king day back in 2004 ... in fact, he pulled the strings ... and now the lead puppeteer tells TMZ a sequel isn't out of the question.

TMZ spoke with Scott Land -- who controlled everyone from Kim Jong-il to Spottswoode ... he also had a major hand in the legendary puppet sex scene.

Land was dishing some cool stories from the set when we ran into him outside Bootsy Bellows nightclub this weekend ... but it's clear, dude has moved on to even more perverted puppets (including one with a propensity for public nudity).

Kal Penn had a mid-air bathroom emergency during an American Airlines flight earlier today ... as in, the toilets BROKE at 10,000 feet ... and the pilot decided to ground the plane ASAP.

The "Harold & Kumar" actor was aboard a flight from LAX to Dallas when something went wrong with the plumbing ... so the captain decided to make an unscheduled landing in Albuquerque to avoid a potentially putrid situation on-board.

Once they touched down in New Mexico, Kal tweeted from the runway ... "toilet overflowed." He added, "My 1st emergency landing cuz of poop. Kinda funny kinda not."

A rep for AA explained, "The lavatories were inoperable, so we landed in Albuquerque briefly to service them, for the convenience of our customers. We apologized to our passengers for the inconvenience."
