Yolanda Foster thinks she'll bounce back now that she's split from estranged husband David Foster.

Yolanda's been battling a severe case of Lyme disease, and sources say she's convinced it got worse when things got rocky with David. Lyme disease attacks the nervous system and stress is the enemy.

Our source says Yolanda constantly leaned on David during their marriage, but toward the end he was traveling a lot and she couldn't handle the change and got really sick as a result.

Now that they've pulled the plug on their marriage, she has no expectation that he'll be around, and that's actually dramatically improved her health.

Yolanda's still struggling with Lyme disease, but she's mobile again and feels she's on the mend.

Lamar Odom is apparently feeling good enough to play music reviewer for Kanye West ... according to Kim Kardashian, who bragged about their hospital listening sesh on video.

Khloe posted an update of Lamar's condition which included a video from Thanksgiving where Kim and Kanye chatted about "Swish" ... Ye's soon to be released (fan's hope) album. Remember, we got a photo of them arriving at Cedars-Sinai back in November.

Check out the clip for Odom's "Swish" review, but also for ... 13 full seconds of Kanye smiling!

Charlie Sheen can cry extortion all day long, but his ex-fiancee Brett Rossi is firing back ... there's no secret plot to take his money, she's gonna do it in open court!

Rossi was in NYC on Tuesday when we asked about Charlie's claim that she squeezed him for cash and threatened to reveal his HIV diagnosis. Watch the clip ... she's remarkably calm while responding to Sheen's accusation.

NOFX singer Fat Mike is getting screwed ... out of getting screwed -- he just found out he's allergic to latex, and it's gonna be a big problem for his BDSM loving fiancee.

The punk icon, who's engaged to a dominatrix named Soma Snakeoil, tells TMZ his whole life changed when doctors gave him the news on the weekend. Mike says he recently started getting itchy bumps every time he and his lady "got pervy" with latex.

He says doctors told him he probably developed the allergy due to overuse.

Here's the rough part -- he can't pop a pill to treat the allergy, and the only real "cure" is to quit latex cold turkey. No easy task, considering Mike's house has a dungeon filled with latex toys.

Time to invest in lambskin?

Tyrese just won a huge case against the woman he blasted for taking advantage of his mother -- a verdict that will save him $83,000!

Cynthia Banks wrote a book about Tyrese's mother and her struggles with alcoholism. Tyrese didn't support the project and publicly shamed the author ... who then sued him in Texas for defamation. She initially won a judgement in the case because Tyrese never responded.

Tyrese fought that ruling by filing to have the judgment tossed, and he won it on Monday. He was going to have to pay Banks $83k ... but now he's off the hook.

Charlie Sheen says ex-fiancee Brett Rossi not only knew he was HIV positive, but insisted on having unprotected sex because she wanted them to be "like a normal couple."

Sheen claims Rossi is an extortionist who tried to squeeze millions of dollars from him by threatening to disclose his medical condition.

Charlie gets personal in his response to Rossi's emotional distress lawsuit, claiming as a porn star she's had "hundreds, if not thousands of sexual partners," and has exposed herself to STD's every time the camera rolls. Sheen says it's ridiculous for her to claim she got freaked out by his condition.

Sheen says Rossi wanted to have unprotected sex, and claimed she was a nurse and was seeing doctors who gave her anti-HIV meds.

He also flatly denies he was ever physically abusive to Rossi. And, he scoffs at her claim that he allegedly forced her to have an abortion.

Kim Kardashian's baby boy arrived with one big complication that has her calling the birth the "most painful experience ever."

Our Kardashian sources tell us the still nameless kid took a really long time to make his debut because Kim had something called placenta accreta. As we've reported ... it's a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus.

We're told the issue made the birth more difficult -- doctors needed 2 extra hours to deal with the placenta issues. Still, Kim managed to have a natural birth, instead of a c-section ... which is often recommended in such cases.

Kim's recovering from what she's calling a "very painful" experience, but we're told the ordeal's taken its toll on her appetite. No cravings ... just a lot of hospital oatmeal.

That's one way to drop the baby weight.

Former porn star Brett Rossi is done playing victim to Charlie Sheen.

Brett was leaving a Starbucks Thursday hours after filing her lawsuit against her ex-fiance for bullying her into getting an abortion while he was HIV positive.

The two had been engaged but called things off in October 2014 so it's interesting she's only coming after Charlie now, but she told a photog she's got good reason.

Mariah Carey is hooked up to IVs in a NYC hospital after falling severely ill early Wednesday morning ... TMZ has learned.

Mariah is getting pumped full of fluids and vitamins to fight off a nasty bout of the flu. We're told she was so dehydrated and ill ... her team made the call to get her emergency treatment.

She started feeling bad after an appearance at Pier 1 in NYC on Tuesday evening. There was extra concern about her health because she has a huge performance Saturday night at Hot 97's "Hot for the Holidays" concert in NJ.

We're told she's going to be fine, and could be released later today.

Better safe than sorry.

Kylie Jenner could be in the doghouse with Animal Control -- TMZ has learned the agency is looking into whether one of her dogs is being neglected.

A spokesperson for LA County Animal Control tells us they received complaints of possible animal cruelty after Kylie posted a video of her Italian greyhound, Bambi, appearing to be scary thin.

The rep would not say how many complaints were made but said they don't need multiple complaints to launch an investigation, since they investigate ALL complaints of animal neglect.

We're told if they find evidence of neglect charges could be filed, and the dog could be seized.

However, as TMZ first reported ... the Italian greyhounds are naturally lean dogs, and experts we spoke with didn't see anything out of the ordinary in Kylie's Snapchat clip.

They're 3 scary letters ... but Howie Long says when it comes to CTE, the NFL is doing "as good a job as you can" in preventing players from suffering brain injuries on the field.

All the haters calling out Kylie Jenner for animal cruelty are barking up the wrong tree ... this according to no less an authority than the Italian Greyhound Club of America.

Experts with the club tell us the video Kylie posted of one of her pups is perfectly normal for the breed ... despite the flood of people accusing her of being a crappy pet owner.

A spokesperson for the Club says the pups are supposed to be lean, since they're bred for running -- and, in fact, a healthy Italian greyhound should show a hint of 3 ribs and its hip bones.

The IGCA rep also points out the still photo from Kylie's video could be misleading ... since the dog could be taking a big breath which would exaggerate the rib cage.

Khloe Kardashian's made a full recovery from a staph infection because she was back to her regular workout regimen.

Khloe hit SoulCycle Sunday in Bev Hills to burn some calories. She seemed to enjoy the workout, but remained quiet when our photog asked about Lamar.

It's the first time we've seen her back to her usual routine since she was diagnosed. Makes sense ... a sweaty gym environment is NO place to fight off staph.

Besides her regular workout, Khloe's also back to sporting the Adidas logo -- a clear sign, it's back on with James Harden.

Sinead O'Connor is alive and (physically) well and back at it again ... blasting her family and calling them "child stealing murderers."

O'Connor once again took to Facebook to trash her children, a few baby daddies and her sister ... saying, "I'm s*** to you. You're dead to me. You killed your mother. You stole my sons."

The vitriolic diatribe was her second in as many days ... after her first note, posted Sunday morning, appeared to be a suicide note directed to those same family members.

O'Connor claimed in that post to have taken an overdose of pills, but she was later found "safe and sound" in Dublin and was reportedly getting medical attention.

Lamar Odom is in desperate shape medically, but legally we're told he may get cut a break.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the Nye County D.A. in Nevada is backing off the statements made by the Sheriff, who said there was a strong chance Lamar would be prosecuted for cocaine possession.

TMZ broke the story, Lamar's blood revealed he was high on coke when he fell into unconsciousness at the Love Ranch brothel.

Our sources tell us the D.A. now says they will consider Lamar's medical condition and mental state in deciding whether to charge him. We broke the story, Lamar is barely able to speak and cannot walk. His cognitive functions are also severely impaired.

Fact is ... the D.A. really isn't cutting Lamar a special break, because we did some checking and couldn't find a single case in Nye County where someone was prosecuted for cocaine possession when they landed in the hospital with severe damage.

Lil Boosie is asking fans to pray for him because he just found out he has kidney cancer.

The Louisiana rapper posted his plea on Instagram, saying, "prayer is power that's why I'm letting the world know" about the diagnosis, but his announcement caught some people close to him off guard.

We're told Boosie's team was not happy he revealed his condition ... which is why the caption was deleted shortly after the initial posting. The photo of Boosie eating a meal remains on his IG.

Boosie is only 33, but he's been living with diabetes for years.

He just got out of prison last year ... after serving 5 years on a drug charge.
