Kim Kardashian I Got One Big Fat Tip for You
Kim Kardashian is quickly achieving sainthood in the Big Easy by leaving an insane lunch tip Tuesday.
Kim -- along with BFFs Jonathan Cheban, Simon Huck and a few others -- hit up Brennan's. The bill came to $200, and she left a $300 tip.
The pregnant Mrs. West ordered eggs and french toast. Jonathan ordered turtle soup and although they say they were shocked it was made from real turtles, it didn't stop them from eating it.
BTW ... Brennan's accommodated cameras for Kim's reality show. Would she have left $300 without them? Hmmm.

As we all know by now, Ronda celebrates each victory with wings -- but considering Brazil is hardly known as a chicken wing central ... you had to wonder if she could keep that up this weekend.
Well, TMZ Sports has learned RR did manage to toast her whupping of native Brazilian Bethe Correia with a plate full of buffalo wings, and a side of blue cheese dressing! Ronda's camp confirms a private chef at her hotel in Rio made the meal for her specially.

Fetty Wap Olive Garden Is Lucky I Paid Anything
Fetty Wap was like, "Hey, what's up? Hello," at an Olive Garden Thursday night ... and then he bolted without paying the bill.
Fetty was dining with a group of friends at the famous franchise in Wayne, NJ when he stormed out of the restaurant.
We're told he threw down $100 for the apps and drinks, but by the time he left, the bill swelled to $160 ... possibly leaving the server on the hook for $60.
Fetty says he was there for 2 hours and the service was so slow his food never came, so he said "arrivederci."
But Olive Garden employees say he was there for only 30 minutes and it was a simple case of dining and dashing.
Happy ending ... the server didn't have to pay.
We couldn't reach Fetty for comment.

Andre Berto's Chef SLAMS MAYWEATHER'S CHEF ... Your Menu's WEAK!!!
Andre Berto's personal chef is serving up a hot, steaming plate of CHEF BEEF ... claiming Floyd Mayweather's chef is WEAK SAUCE when it comes to feeding her fighter!
TMZ Sports spoke with Chef Justine -- who's in charge of Berto's diet as he preps for the September 12th fight with Floyd in Vegas -- and she tells us Berto has a major advantage when it comes to cuisine.
"What we are doing over here is 100 times better health-wise than what Floyd's doing," Chef tells us.
She's clearly referring to Chef Q -- who's been handling Mayweather's food for a while -- and recently told us Floyd's been indulging on all sorts of kick-ass sweets during training camp.
"I will never ever EVER do what she does," Justine says ... "Her food looks good on the soul food side but I don’t think your heart could last too long eating that all day."
Translation -- CHEF WAR!!!!!
Justine says she's got Berto on a special "Warrior Diet" -- which means no sugar, no grains, no calories wasted. Instead, he'll be eating a lot of "organic and raw foods."
"Andre is working super hard. He is not taking anything lightly to get his mind and body right," Justine says ... "My diet program will be a huge reason why Berto will win."

Ariana Grande Donut Shop 'A' OK With Health Department
Ariana Grande screwed over that mom and pop donut shop with her licking antics, but justice has finally prevailed for Wolfee Donuts.
We found out the shop's A grade has been restored. You may recall the Riverside shop had its health code rating downgraded to a B after our video showed the singer licking a donut and then leaving it on the display tray.
Bottom line ... Wolfee didn't fritter its good rating away for good.

We're told Brad, Angie and a few of their SIX kids cruised into the sandwich shop in Glendale, CA over the weekend. If you're wondering what it takes to feed a crew that size -- 2 Meatball Marinara footlongs, 1 Chicken Teriyaki sandwich, and a few kids' meals.
Total tab ... $44, and Pitt made the sandwich artist's day with a hefty $6 tip! Kinda unheard of at Subway.
First, it was coach flights ... now Subway? Look out for Maddox and Pax on an MTA bus near you.

Ariana Grande Donut Shop Bombs Inspection ... After Licking Stunt
Just a couple flicks of Ariana Grande's tongue is all it took for that donut shop to get screwed -- it just failed a health inspection ... brought on by the video of her stunt.
The inspection report for Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, CA puts the blame for "donutgate" squarely on the employee who served Ariana and her BF. The report says the donut tray should not have been placed on top of the display case where anyone could access them.
Ariana's not mentioned by name in the inspector's report -- but it does reference the video TMZ first posted of "customers licking donuts incorrectly placed on counter."
A manager told the inspector the employee didn't know Ariana had tongued the goods, and "placed them back in display case for sale."
Bottom line ... the Health Department docked off one letter grade, leaving them with B rating. They have a week to fix the problems.

Donald Trump I'll Sue Celeb Chef Jose Andres Too ... For Pulling Out of D.C. Hotel
Donald Trump's got a big problema with the celeb chef who was going to help him open his fancy new hotel in Washington, D.C. -- Jose Andres is yanking his planned flagship restaurant.
The famed chef and Spanish immigrant announced he's cutting ties with the new Trump International Hotel due to Donald's now infamous comments about Mexican immigrants.
Andres said Trump's remarks "make it impossible for my company and I to move forward." Andres -- who recently became a U.S. citizen -- was planning to open his flagship restaurant in the hotel.
Donald Trump Jr. immediately threatened legal action against Andres ... pointing out that he signed a 10-year lease, and due to an exclusivity cause he can't open a restaurant anywhere else in D.C.
Trump already sued Univision for $500 million after it backed out of the Miss USA deal.
We actually got Jose last week in D.C. -- and although he played coy with us, something was clearly cooking.

Jared Fogle Subway Orders All Signs Down ... With a Catch
Jared Fogle is the invisible man at Subway -- and not because he's losing weight -- his image is quickly being removed from shops across the country ... but he's not going far.
TMZ spoke with a slew of Subway stores ... and we're told word came down from corporate to take down or cover up ALL signs of the now suspended pitchman -- after his home was raided Tuesday as part of a child porn investigation.
What's interesting though ... we're told store owners were instructed to hold on to all Jared promo materials -- just keep them out of sight in the back, "until someone says otherwise."
We did speak with one store who said their manager said toss the Jared stuff in the trash. Obviously, not everyone's expecting a comeback.

'Wahlburgers' Star Bad Beef with Screenwriter
Mark Wahlberg missed out on another hit movie because one of his pals dropped the ball ... according to a screenwriter who says he got screwed after paying Mark's friend a hefty fee.
John Hurley says he contacted Henry "Nacho" Laun -- Mark's friend, driver, and security guard on "Wahlburgers" -- to see if he could get his script about roofers ... on Mark's desk.
John says he met up with Nacho last year in Boston, and forked over $1,000 for him to deliver the aptly titled, "The Roofers" script to Mark.
But Wahlberg never saw the pages, and Hurley claims Nacho admitted he didn't get the job done.
Now Hurley is threatening to sue Nacho if he doesn't set up a phone meeting with Wahlberg. It seems unlikely that Mark would be happy to meet a guy who threatened to sue his buddy, but whatever.
Nacho tells us he did briefly meet Hurley (pics confirm that), but he denies everything else.

Rick Ross Carb Danger Behind Bars
Rick Ross had a close call in jail Wednesday ... in mortal danger of gaining back some of the pounds he lost.
As TMZ reported, Ross was busted for pot possession near Atlanta and was hauled off to jail. As the hours ticked away, Ross got hungry. The challenge: eating something that did not compromise his recent 100 pound weight loss.
The 2 slices of turkey made sense. A slice of cheese never killed anyone. The juice pack is loaded with sugar, but it's small. Ditto the "Oreo-like cookie."
But then comes the starch ... a staple in the pokey. Rick was tempted not once, not twice, but to 4 slices of bread.
Rick's now a free man and back to his diet which is pear heavy. Pears ... they're better to eat than emulate.

Charlie Sheen Paramedics Called For Extreme Food Poisoning
12:17 PST: Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Charlie was taken by ambulance to a local hospital after complaining of chest pains. He was treated for dehydration and released after an hour and a half.
Charlie Sheen had a medical emergency Monday night ... paramedics were called to his home after getting a call the actor had a bad case of food poisoning.
We're told Charlie (or one of his people) called the fire department directly at around 11:00 PM Monday. It's curious why they didn't call 911 directly, which by the way, automatically records the conversation.
Sheen's people tell TMZ it was nothing more than a really, really bad case of food poisoning and the actor was treated in his home and that was that.
We're told Charlie's doing fine.
