Offit says he is outraged by the CDC's vote ... claiming more infants and toddlers will suffer from the disease because of the new, uninformed recommendation.

Mark Sanchez has barely uttered a peep since he was stabbed in Indianapolis, leaving him fighting for his life and facing serious criminal charges ... until Friday, when the retired QB wrote a heartfelt tribute to his family.

The former first-round draft pick turned NFL broadcaster took to Instagram, where he posted two photos of his wife, Perry, and their two adorable little twin daughters, alongside a message of gratitude for those who have had his back.

"This time of year always makes me look around and appreciate what matters, but this one hits different," 39-year-old Sanchez wrote. "I’m just grateful—to wake up, to be home, and to be able to wrap my arms around my wife and kids."

"Below Deck" star Fraser Olender says he was rushed to a hospital after suffering a heart attack ... and he's blaming it on his vape.

The reality TV personality says there was something in his vape that gave him vape poisoning ... he says it caused the arteries supplying blood to his heart to suddenly clamp down. He says he suffered spasms, which reduced blood flow to his heart, and he suffered a heart attack.

Fraser says medical specialists in London told him his vape was the culprit after spending a week in a hospital for severe chest pains and difficulty breathing.

12/8 11:10 AM PT -- Tara Reid tells TMZ ... "I’ve been honest about the fact that I don’t remember anything after my first drink. All I said was that I felt something was wrong and that I felt I may have been drugged, because I have no other explanation for why I woke up in a hospital gown with no memory of how I got there.

Seeing the media twist my words and attack me for not remembering has been incredibly painful and is severely affecting my mental health. I feel bullied and judged for something I cannot recall. I’m trying to heal, but the public scrutiny is making that very difficult, and I’ve been afraid to even leave my house.

No one ends up in the hospital for around eleven hours from drinking wine alone. I hadn’t taken any medication that day, and I know something wasn’t right. Whether I had additional drinks after that doesn’t matter, the fact is I don’t remember anything.

I’m asking for privacy, compassion, and space to heal. I’ve shared the only truth I have: what I remember, and what I felt."

Tara Reid was slugging wine at the hotel bar where she claims she was drugged ... and she looked pretty chummy with the man whom she pointed out in a police report.

TMZ obtained the surveillance video from the Chicago-area hotel where Tara claims someone slipped something in her drink that made her black out and wake up in a hospital bed ... and all you see in the video is Tara guzzling wine at the bar and talking to folks.

At first, she's sitting at the bar with a glass of wine, surrounded by four men. She's wearing a coat and beanie, and her purse is on the bar. It looks like two different bartenders bring over a glass of wine, and she slugs them both. Tara had said she only had one drink.

George Pickens just wrote another chapter in his "Book of Deleted Instagram Disses" -- this time, the Cowboys receiver ripped into ex-NFLer Richard Sherman for comments made on "Thursday Night Football."

Just a week after Pickens set his sights on Philadelphia and Eagles fans and said they're only good for sandwiches, the 24-year-old athlete shifted focus to the Prime Video analyst.

Sherman criticized Pickens for seeming "uninterested" and giving a "half-assed" performance in CeeDee Lamb's absence after the loss to the Detroit Lions ... something, he said, simply can't happen if No. 3 wants to be the best in the NFL.

Taylor Swift can leave a "Blank Space" on a check all she wants, but she still wouldn't be able to buy her perfect wedding date from another couple at her fave venue ... so says the venue itself.

Here's the deal ... a recent report claimed the singer-songwriter wants to marry Travis Kelce on June 13, naturally, next year at Ocean House in Westerly, Rhode Island -- but that date was already held for another bride and groom.

According to the report, Taylor unzipped her wallet and dropped a bag to claw back her chosen date ... because money can't buy you love, but it might buy you a lovely, romantic venue.
