For Darius Rucker, there's something about hitting the crapper that brings the best out of him.

We caught up with the fromer Hootie frontman Thursday night in NYC where we asked him where's the weirdest place he's written songs.

Donald Trump Mexican Menus Now Serving 'Bad Hombre' Specials

Mexican restaurants across America are cashing in "bigly" on Donald Trump's "bad hombres" comment from the third and final presidential debate.

We spoke to Mexican restaurants in 3 different states -- Tennessee, Maine and Pennsylvania, who clapped back at Trump by adding "bad hombre" specials to the menu.

The El Corazon taco truck in Portland, Maine says they sold out of their "Bad Hombre Burrito" 2 hours after putting it on the menu Thursday morning. The Grubhouse in Philly says it added the "Bad Hombre Breakfast Sandwich" which they say is tremendous since it's stocked with chorizo, eggs, pepper jack and jalapeño ketchup.

To wash it all down ... Rosepepper Cantina, an award-winning stomp in Nashville, is serving up the "Bad Hombre" cocktail which features "very, very strong, believe me, Mezcal" and "The Nasty Woman" with potent, but well-aged tequila.

Mexican food ... making America great again.

Is it possible someone can get TOO excited over Ezekiel Elliott?

That might be the case with Michael Irvin -- who says the rookie RB gets him so fired up, "it makes me want to go in the bathroom and spend some time by myself."

Boom.

Irvin bared his feelings while calling in to 105.3 The Fan in Dallas -- and explained, "I just love it. I just love it so much."

We know man. We know.

IT'S A MONSTER

Apparently, Arizona Cardinals superstar Patrick Peterson is going as a Dong-asaurus for Halloween.

For some reason, PP sported the costume in the Cards locker room -- and QB Carson Palmer documented the jurassic shenanigans.

Palmer included the caption, "@realpatrickpeterson loses another one" -- apparently, he lost some kind of intersquad competition ... where the loser has to dress up in something stupid.

Who cares. He looks like a penis. Ha.

Amy Schumer made the mistake of trying to rationalize with some passionate Trump supporters, and it didn't end well.

The comedian went political for a minute during Sunday's show in Tampa ... even bringing a Trump supporter onstage, and asking him why Trump's the better choice over Hillary. Check out the vid ... Amy's clearly not having it.

The crowd later turns on her when she warns anyone that yells will get thrown out of the show ... but not before throwing a jab at The Donald.

Deon Cole doesn't think he'd be alive if it wasn't for his cousin's cat who he says saved him from a house fire.

We got Deon at LAX Sunday and asked him about the viral video of a baby elephant rescuing a man in a river, when he recalled his own brush with death -- which he narrowly avoided thanks to a feline.

If you haven't seen the elephant video, check it out below ... it's pretty incredible. Deon's story is pretty incredible too. Animals rule.

RIGHT IN MY FACE
TMZ.com

Kevin Hart hasn't quite had rotten tomatoes thrown at him while onstage ... but he has dealt with fried poultry and half-naked men all in one heckling.

We got Kevin in NYC -- where he was promoting "What Now?" -- and asked about his worst bombing experience as a stand-up -- he didn't disappoint. Kevin tells us he was performing at a male strip club once ... when he came face-to-face with a thrown buffalo wing.

Sounds like he tried to be a grown little man about it, but chickened out.

Kevin's no quitter though. Watch -- he came back and conquered that male strip club.

Ron White Prefers Boxers Over Briefs ... Irons Over Woods

Ron White is a calm, cool and collected comedian when he's onstage, but if you vandalize his tour bus in the middle of the night ... he becomes a half naked maniac who'll chase you down with a golf club.

TMZ got this photo of White apparently coming after a guy who was doing the dirty deed. Underwear? Don't care ... and we're told he pulled a gap wedge out of his golf bag, Elin Nordegren style.

As we reported ... a man was arrested after he sideswiped Ron's bus with his truck. The guy was cited by cops, but he became enraged and started kicking the bus, denting it.

Ron wasn't having it, and summed it all up to us like this ... "Don't f*** with me when I've been drinking."

Noted.

NOT SO LOW PROFILE

Justin Bieber is a man of many looks ... but his latest might be his most epic.

The Biebs was out in Amsterdam Friday sporting a wig, glasses and a classic porn 'stache with matching goatee. The only problem -- JB did a poor job covering up his signature tats -- but to be honest, they're a perfect fit with the look.

Further proof ... things get weird in Amsterdam.

Comic Gary Owen Raves About LeBron's Penis ... I Saw It at D-Wade's Wedding

Comedian Gary Owen says he's seen LeBron James' penis with his own eyes -- and praised it as a national treasure -- after he snuck a peek in the bathroom at Dwyane Wade's wedding.

Owen was on "The Real" (airs Oct 10th) when he talked about his most memorable LeBron encounter -- while they were peeing next to each other when Gabby and D-Wade tied the knot back in 2014.

"I’m getting ready to use the restroom and Lebron walked in. And he’s at the stall right next to me, so I took a little glance," Owen revealed.

"I wasn’t obvious with it. I just did the little eye check ... but hey, he’s The King for a reason! I’m just saying, I was impressed ... Savannah is a happy woman!"

Rob Corddry says he would blindly trust tattoo artist Scott Campbell with his own skin ... blindly.

We got the "Hot Tub Time Machine" star at LAX where he showed us his newest tat from Scott himself. He fesses up ... he didn't stick his arm in Scott's famous tattoo glory hole ... not to say he wouldn't do it.

Scott's done tats for the likes of Howard Stern and Robert Downey Jr. after all ... not to mention his wife, Lake Bell.

Check out the clip -- Rob's confident in Scott's judgment ... no fear of broner tats here.
