John Paris has got a ways to go on his road to recovery ... involving 2 major surgeries, according to a new update on his condition.

In a new post, the Standing for John Paris Facebook page shared that the Earth, Wind & Fire drummer woke up again from his coma ... and this time was stable enough for doctors to evaluate him.

According to the update, the doctors ran some addition tests and determined that John will need "two major surgeries."

This means the musician will be in the ICU "longer than everyone had hoped" while recovering from his scary medical emergency.

Mama June's daughter Pumpkin says OnlyFans is paying off in a major way ... revealing she recently had her biggest day yet on the platform, pulling in as much as $15K.

Pumpkin joined TMZ's Towanda Robinson on the "TMZ Podcast" and told us she cleared the $10K mark on her very first day after joining OnlyFans ... and says just last week she hit a new high, earning between $14K and $15K in a single day.

The reality star has no plans to leave the platform ... and she says the success has been a "huge deal" for her, and she's been humbled by the response.

Pumpkin tells us the opportunities and financial stability the platform has brought her family are major blessings.

Diane Warren is giving West Hollywood's most famous runaway pig a new lease on life ... telling us Wilbur is officially safe and headed to a sanctuary after his wild sprint through the streets.

We got Diane Thursday at her office in Hollywood, and she told our photog she had no idea saving Wilbur would become such a big "pig deal" ... but she's grateful she and Marcia Zwilling, who helps run her rescue ranch, were able to step in.

Diane, who's a proud vegan, says people kept texting her about the viral piglet, so she immediately called Marcia and told her, "Let's save him."

Ryan Lochte's fiancée, Molly Gillihan, says it's not fair for his ex-wife, Kayla Rae Reid, to call her a homewrecker ... since there wasn't much of a marriage to wreck when she entered his life.

TMZ's own Charlie Neff sat down with Molly for a wide-ranging interview after Kayla blasted her to People ... telling the outlet Molly was DMing Ryan before they split -- and calling her behavior "quite sick."

Molly says the characterization of her as the other woman is totally unfair ... because she says Kayla never said a single word about trying to work things out with Ryan ... at least in Molly's interactions with Kayla.

Perez Hilton will be able to see his kids while his mother has temporary custody ... but only if certain conditions are met ... TMZ has learned.

New court docs obtained by TMZ show a judge granted Perez visitation with his three children -- but it must be supervised by either a family member agreed upon by both sides or a therapist.

There's another condition ... Perez must first obtain psychiatric clearance, and the supervised arrangement stays in place until the court orders otherwise -- or Perez and his mom agree to something different.

Donald Trump's team trolled Ariana Grande once again by using her music in one of the President's social videos ... and again, the superstar told them to get bent.

Trump posted a rally video to TikTok that included several messages about his "truth" -- all set to her hit "we can't be friends."

The post said, "men can't have babies and should never compete in women's sports."

As she's done before ... AG essentially told him to STFU, saying in the comments ... "Never use my music again. Also, your truth is false."

A source tells TMZ Ariana's label is working to have the song removed from the post.

Drake is pulling out all the stops for his "goth baddie" Pinkchyu ... flying her to Toronto and taking over an entire castle for their latest date.

A source tells TMZ ... Drake flew Pinkchyu north of the border this past week and rented out Casa Loma -- Toronto's massive, nearly 200,000-square-foot castle -- for the occasion.

We're told the 98-room landmark was shut down except for a server, bartender, and security ... leaving Drake and Pinkchyu to enjoy sushi with the sprawling castle basically to themselves.

Because nothing goes together quite like castles and sushi!!!

NBA star Anthony Edwards is now on the hook for $14K a month in child support to his ex, Alexandria Desroches, and the money is for a kid he claims he's never even met.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the amount was determined based on the Minnesota Timberwolves guard's monthly income of nearly $4.8 million ... and the figure represents a massive increase over the baseline amount of around $3,200 per month. Alexandria was asking for a higher amount in child support.

The docs say Alexandria pulls in around $1,016 per month. She testified that she hopes to complete her college education to better support the child.

A "Scream" mask now sits among the flowers and signs outside the South Carolina apartment complex where Hayden Panettiere died ... with fans paying tribute to one of her most memorable roles.

Video from outside the Judson Hill Lofts in Greenville shows a growing memorial for Hayden ... including more than a dozen bouquets and flower arrangements.

But the "Scream" mask stands out ... with the words, "Thank you Special Agent Kirby Reed," written across it -- a nod to Hayden's character in the horror franchise.

Hayden Panettiere's mom says someone toxic drove a wedge between them ... and she appears to be pointing the finger at Hayden's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, for her daughter's death.

Lesley Vogel addressed her estrangement from Hayden in a statement shared with "Entertainment Tonight," saying ... "Although my daughter and I were estranged, it was not for lack of care or love."

She continued ... "It was due to the involvement of a toxic individual who I believe led to her death."

Summer Walker's new manager, Aubrey Banks, is causing concern in her world ... due to his history of alleged forgery and money problems, plus an allegedly bogus resume ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Interscope tell TMZ ... "There were concerns raised internally regarding a number of false claims made by Aubrey Banks, including that he had previously worked at Interscope Records, which was simply untrue."

We're told ... "The fact that he seemingly secured his role with Summer Walker based on numerous fabricated job titles and experience only deepened those concerns. Now that additional allegations of fraudulent activity have come to light, we hope she is aware of his history and the serious questions surrounding his credibility."

Tupac Shakur's alleged killer, Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat for the fourth day of grueling and graphic testimony in his trial.

Keefe -- who is on trial in Las Vegas -- is accused of planning the legendary rapper's murder and allegedly producing the gun used to kill Tupac ... though prosecutors say he wasn't the trigger man that fateful night.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him ... and sources close to him say his past admissions in an interview that he was involved in the slaying are simply empty brags.

Neutrogena took all it could take ... and finally had to scrub away at all the hate the company was getting in the wake of Hayden Panettiere's death -- and her history with the skincare brand.

Neutrogena broke its silence in a Thursday post on social media ... saying the company was deeply saddened by her death and "understand that we made her feel unsupported." The company also said a "significant investment" would be made to a healthcare partner -- thereby giving more help and support to women suffering from postpartum.

If you don't know ... Hayden was the face of Neutrogena for several years -- but that all came to a screeching halt after she talked about her postpartum depression back in 2015 while a guest on "Live! with Kelly and Michael."

Meghan Markle's mom isn't shedding any tears about her daughter and grandkids' imminent departure yet ... looking stoic after news broke that the Sussexes are moving back to the United Kingdom.

A photographer snapped pics of Doria Ragland walking through her Los Angeles neighborhood on Thursday with a furry friend -- a happy-looking dog -- nipping at her heels.

Doria wore mustard pants and a simple black shirt, which showed off the tattoos on her right arm.

It's the first time we've seen her since confirming Meghan and Prince Harry are gearing up to move from California to the UK.

Hayden Panettiere was apparently struggling to stay sober while filming one of her final movies ... and her director says things got so concerning, her team discussed staging an intervention.

Griff Furst -- who directed Hayden in the 2025 movie "A Breed Apart" -- says Hayden was "fighting to stay sober" during production ... and claims her team reached out to him about taking part in an intervention.

Furst says he agreed to participate ... but, to his knowledge, the intervention never ended up happening.
