Floyd Mayweather's ex-personal chef -- the woman who famously said she was paid $1,000 a plate -- is no longer part of Floyd's crew ... and says the fact she's gay may have played a role.

We spoke with Chef Q who is now backtracking on her $1,000 a plate claims ... saying there was no REAL set rate for her. Sometimes she would get paid fat. Sometimes nothing.

But sometime after the Manny Pacquiao fight, Chef Q says her relationship with Floyd fell apart and she doesn't really know why ... but she has her theories.

"I don't think he's ever looked at me past as just a gay person or a lesbian."

Chef Q says some comments that were made during her time with TMT were hurtful and felt homophobic.

Still, Chef Q says she wants to have a relationship with Floyd moving forward -- she considers him family ... but knows they have to work out their issues.

We reached out to Floyd's camp. So far, no word back.

For Pierre Garcon, a new city means new opportunity ... to grow his pizza business!!

The NFL star just signed a new 5-year contract with the 49ers ... and tells TMZ Sports it might be the perfect chance to take his Spinfire Pizza company bicoastal!

Garcon (who spent 5 seasons with the Redskins) already owns several pizza joints in the D.C. area -- and says business has been so good out there, expansion seems like a natural move.

Hear that, Peyton?? That's pizza baron competition, baby!

Auntie Fee, the viral video sensation also known as Chef Sista Girl, has died nearly a week after suffering a massive heart attack ... according to her son.

Fee's son Tavis posted late Friday night, "god made the decision to take my mother home where its peace & Joy and im okay with that."

TMZ broke the story ... Fee was rushed to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Tuesday after feeling ill with chest pains. She suffered a massive heart attack at the hospital and had been on life support since.

Auntie Fee, who's full name was Felicia O'Dell, went viral in 2014 after posting her recipes for "good ass chicken" and "sweet treats for the kids." She went on to appear in the movie "Barbershop 3." She also came to TMZ to hook us up with her recipes.

She was 59.

RIP

Some butter-hungry Wisconsinites are yelling Erin go Bragh, and suing the state just to get their fave Irish spread back on shelves!

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty is suing the state's Dept. of Agriculture on behalf of 4 pissed off consumers and a grocery store, claiming the Butter Law of 1954 is depriving residents of enjoying Kerrygold butter.

The old law requires butter to be graded by U.S. or Wisconsin inspectors ... which isn't possible for Kerrygold because it's made and packaged in Ireland. The advocacy group claims the law's true motive is killing competition for Wisconsin's dairy industry.

According to docs, the butter 5-0's been cracking down, and violators risk jail time and hefty fines.

The butter lovers want the court to overturn the 1954 law. A rep for the Dept. of Agriculture tells us "enforcement action has been limited to notifying retailers of what the law says."

3:48 PST -- A rep for Mc D's tells us they've determined the hack was from an outside source and not from within the corporation.

Donald Trump can safely order Big Macs again -- McDonalds' vicious Twitter attack against him was the work of hackers ... according to the burger giant.

Micky D's verified account tweeted Thursday morning, "You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands."

It was posted for at least 30 minutes before McDonald's deleted it and said Twitter confirmed the company's account was compromised. McDonald's says it's now investigating.

Bottom line: No McDonald's beef with Trump ... although he does enjoy their burgers.

Kathy Hilton has some words of regret for falsely impregnating Jennifer Aniston.

Kim Richards and Kathy were out Wednesday night at Craig's with Kyle Richards and Kris Jenner ... along with a sea of paps.

Kathy -- who turned 58 and was out celebrating her birthday -- eats crow after her cake for the Jen tweet.

Kim also gives us her take on Ben's recent rehab stint. You'll recall ... she's completed rehab herself a time or two.

Melania Trump already has a line of fine foods and wines for sale in her homeland of Slovenia, but the problem is ... she never signed off on the deal.

Slovenia's Sevnica Castle -- yup, a real-life castle -- is now hawking fancy products that are clearly trying to profit off Melania, because the brand is called First Lady.

Some of the goods they're selling include salamis, chocolates, beauty creams and, of course, vino ... the latter of which sells for around $30 a bottle. The first 300 sold out in 3 days.

Melania isn't officially tied to the First Lady campaign, and has reportedly hired Slovenian lawyers to stop the exploitation of her title -- but the castle's steward told Decanter he wasn't ashamed to offer it because the products were "good" and "the best."

Sounds like a very Trump-ish sales pitch.

Tupac had a habit he just couldn't kick, and we can't blame him!

We got Young Noble out -- a member of 'Pac's group, Outlawz, and we asked him to drop one secret about Makaveli people don't know yet.

We don't know if this tasty factoid will be in "All Eyez On Me" ... the movie about Tupac coming out this summer.

Who knew 'Pac was hittin' up this fast food joint???

Internet cooking sensation Auntie Fee, also known as Chef Sista Girl, is fighting for her life after a massive heart attack.

We were first told by Fee's nephew Sosten Price and sister Ayesha that the 59-year-old died Tuesday after the medical emergency. However, we've now learned she's on life support surrounded by family at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center after being rushed by ambulance.

Auntie Fee, whose full name is Felicia O'Dell, went viral in 2014 after posting her recipes for "good ass chicken" and "sweet treats for the kids." She went on to appear in the movie "Barbershop 3." She also came to TMZ to hook us up with her recipes.

Story developing ...

Ciara showed everyone multiple times Saturday she's ok after her scary car crash the day before.

Ciara and hubby Russell Wilson strolled through WeHo with a tasty treat, then Russell took the wheel in their Rolls, and then they rolled into Catch for some grub.

Robin Thicke was back with his son in a big way Friday night, celebrating his 40th birthday over Julian's favorite meal.

Robin, GF April Love Geary and Julian hit up Catch in WeHo, where the 6-year-old chowed down on his favorite fish. Julian left with his grandma before Robin and April made their exit.

TMZ broke the story ... Robin and Paula Patton are on the verge of settling their custody war, and the dinner is certainly evidence they're on the brink of burying the hatchet.

The Obamas take the prize for most powerful power lunch of the day.

Michelle and Barack Obama broke bread with Bono Friday at Upland in NYC. The former first couple did about a 90 minute sesh with the U2 frontman at the Park Ave restaurant. We're told they were seated at a basement table for privacy.

Barack's owned NYC lately ... and today was no different -- the trio got a standing O on their way out.

Betcha someone scored tix to the 'Joshua Tree' anniversary tour.

President Trump's promised wall at the Mexican border will offer catering services to detainees ... seriously.

The Dept. of Homeland Security has filed legal docs soliciting bids from food service companies to provide meals at the Customs and Border Patrol area of Brownsville, TX.

According to the docs, the company will provide up to 600 meals daily for detainees. The vendor must serve "nutritionally balanced" breakfasts, lunches and dinners ... and there are Mexican options.

BREAKFAST

Potato and egg in a flour tortilla
Ham and egg in a flour tortilla
Bean and cheese taco option

LUNCH AND DINNER

Burgers
Turkey sandwiches
Chicken fajita

The docs state all veggies, fruits and beans must be thoroughly cleaned ... and all of the workers must be screened and pass security background checks.

Model Hailey Clauson is all about the plus-size model movement, but only from the sidelines ... based on what she told us about her birthday celebration, anyway.

We got Hailey at LAX -- she turned 22 on Tuesday -- and she made it clear she wouldn't be indulging too much ... due to work. Translation: I don't wanna look fat for a photo shoot!

Still, she's clearly happy hers isn't the only body type killing it in modeling these days.

Bottom line? Hailey's gonna have her cake, and eat it too. Later.

Here's Kim Kardashian licking ice cream. That's all.

Kim, Kourtney and her kid, Penelope, hit up Sloan's Ice Cream and candy shop Monday in Calabasas.

2 Chainz the restaurateur's already making plans for expansion, now that his first spot is back on the right side of the Georgia Health Dept.

The rapper was leaving Rockefeller Center Monday night in NYC when we asked him about Escobar Restaurant and Tapas -- his Atlanta eatery -- passing health inspection with flying colors ... just days after it tanked.

2 Chainz explained his quick turnaround, and happily promoted his brunch specials!

You also gotta see what he thinks about Prez Trump reportedly eating steak ... with ketchup.
