Montell Jordan says Kanye West needs a real God in his life ... and he's willing to take him under his wing to show him how to properly reach the man upstairs.

We got the singer-turned-pastor at LAX, where he extended his best wishes for 'Ye amid a mental breakdown that he says can happen to the best in the music biz.

WARNING STRIP CLUB BALLERS: Another Mally Mall-like stunt could mean curtains for your favorite Ace of Diamonds dancers.

The L.A. County Dept. of Public Health tells TMZ it issued an official warning to the popular strip joint to never allow animals inside, EXCEPT for service animals and police dogs accompanied by law enforcement. If it happens again, AoD could be shut down.

The ultimatum came after Mally hit the club with a capuchin monkey as his wingman. We're told Health Dept. inspectors paid the club a visit, and didn't find anything fishy. They did leave a bunch of "No Animals" stickers.

Kanye West has been in desperate shape this week ... paranoid and profoundly depressed, and he's been dealing with these issues for a long time ... sources close to Kim and Kanye tell TMZ.

We're told after Kanye was taken to the hospital Monday he was convinced people were out to get him, including the doctors who were caring for him. Our sources say for a time he wouldn't even let the doctors touch him.

Our sources say the paranoia has been building for months ... obviously going way beyond the stated reasons for the hospitalization ... dehydration and exhaustion.

Kanye West is in a bad mental state ... and sources familiar with the situation tell us his hospitalization is far from over.

Our sources say as of Wednesday morning it appeared he would stay at UCLA Medical Center until at least week's end. We're told some members of Kanye's family wanted him home for Thanksgiving and felt it would do him good, but as of yesterday that looked improbable.

TMZ broke the story ... Kanye's doctor told cops he was suffering from a temporary psychosis brought on by sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration, but we're told the problems go much deeper.

A well-connected Kanye source tells us Kanye's psychological problems are significant enough so that his insurance policy -- which covers lost profits and financial obligations for cancelled concerts due to illness -- will almost certainly cover the losses for the 21 concerts he's cancelled.

Whether Kanye West scores a $30 million payout from his insurance company could depend heavily on the lyrics from his latest album, "The Life of Pablo."

We counted at least 3 'Pablo' tracks where 'Ye mentions struggling with depression and/or his mental health. For example, on "FML" ... 'Ye raps about taking the antidepressant Lexapro -- used to treat bipolar disorder among other things -- and a specific episode that went down while off the drug.

Then there's "No More Parties in L.A." where Kanye gives a shout-out to his psychiatrist, and "Feedback," where he raps "I've been outta my mind a long time."

As long as Kanye disclosed those preexisting conditions to the insurance company ... it would most likely be on the hook to cover costs, including his salary, for the cancelled tour dates.

Key question for the insurance co will be whether Kanye was as open with its agent as he was with fans.

Kanye West is dealing with a medical emergency, but there's a silver lining ... it may have saved him millions of dollars.

Kanye announced the cancellation of his tour 6 hours before he was handcuffed to a stretcher and hauled off to UCLA Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation.

The rapper not only reportedly lost around $30 mil for his cut of the remaining concerts, but he's on the hook for venues and others with whom he made contracts.

TMZ has learned ... Kanye had an insurance policy that covered him in the event illness prevented him from performing. The policy provides the insurance carrier will pay Kanye for not only the money he'd make but the money he was obligated to pay others if "accident or illness ... prevents any Insured Person from appearing or continuing to appear in any or all of the Insured Performance(s) or Event(s)."

Translation ... Kanye's doctor laid the groundwork for filing a claim under the policy.

BTW ... the insurance company can deny coverage if Kanye had a preexisting condition that he didn't disclose at the time the policy was issued, or if his illness was caused by his "unreasonable or capricious behavior."

Jim Jones can't decide whether to laugh it off or be pissed about Kanye West's doctor using his name as an alias, but he's sure he deserves an apology.

The "We Fly High" rapper was cracking himself up when we talked to him about his connection to the Kanye drama. As we reported, Dr. Michael Farzam told the 911 operator ... his patient, "Jim Jones," was experiencing temporary psychosis.

Jim wasn't laughing about 'Ye's diagnosis -- but he did have a funny idea about how to flip the script.

Desiigner has a message for the man who launched his career -- I'M PRAYING FOR KANYE WEST.

NFL running back Isaiah Pead seems to be in good spirits -- or as good of spirits as he could be in -- while recovering from a bad car crash ... smiling in multiple pics from the hospital.

Pead was badly hurt when he wrecked his car in Ohio around 2 AM on Saturday -- and his injuries are so bad, his family says his football career is over.

But despite the bad news, the 26-year-old mustered up a smile when he was visited by an old friend the other day -- University of Cincinnati Asst. Athletic Director Bob Mangine ... who specializes in sports medicine.

Mangine brought over Pead's old college football jersey -- which elicited a smile from the RB.

Pead also posed for a pic in front of the hospital -- sporting a smile while seated in his wheelchair.

We've reached out to Pead to find out how he's doing. We'll let you know if we hear back.

L.A. Rams defensive end Robert Quinn was shaking uncontrollably during an episode on Monday morning -- and his mother-in-law called 911 because she believed he was having a seizure.

The 26-year-old was at a home in Agoura, CA when the medical episode began around 6 AM. His mother-in-law was at the residence at the time -- and despite the fact she was clearly frightened, she composed herself enough to call 911.

At the time of the call, Quinn's mother-in-law told the operator he was still shaking ... though he stopped during the call and actually stood up. The operator advised Quinn to lay back down.

Emergency personnel raced to the scene and Quinn was transported to a nearby hospital. He was released the next day.

The American Red Cross wants people to take pause for the Mannequin Challenge and actually do it for a cause.

A rep for the humanitarian org tells TMZ they'd love to have their name attached to the viral movement that's swept across the country, where folks stand still in crazy poses for a good minute and have someone record the scene.

While the Ice Bucket Challenge helped raise more than $115 mil for ALS research -- the Red Cross says it will accept more than cash from Mannequin Challengers. It's also in the market for blood and volunteer time donations.

Bottom line: next time you and your pals dummy up ... #RedCross, if you're so inclined.

It takes great sacrifice to be a great champion and Serena Williams is making the biggest sacrifice of all -- DONUTS!!!!

The tennis superstar was greeted at LAX by a fan who wanted to gift Serena with a dozen delicious treats from the legendary Randy's Donuts in L.A.

Problem is, Serena had to shoot down the offer explaining, "I'm not eating donuts right now. I'm trying to get fit."

We get it ... she's gearing up for her return to the court at the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand in January.

But for the record, she looks pretty damn fit to us.

Val Kilmer is struggling to speak with a severely swollen tongue -- and while he still denies he has cancer -- whatever his ailment is ... it's forcing him to put his work on hold.

Kilmer shocked an audience in L.A. Thursday night that showed up for a screening of "Citizen Twain." The actor was drooling as he explained his tongue had recently swollen up and he was still recovering.

He did not say what caused the swelling, but a couple weeks ago his former co-star Michael Douglas claimed Val was battling oral cancer. He denied the cancer, but did say he had a lump on his throat.

Magic Johnson still remembers exactly how he felt when he stood before the world and announced he was HIV positive -- 25 years ago today -- and he's expressing tremendous gratitude and hope.

Magic opened up about the anniversary when we got him on his way out of lunch at Crustacean in Bev Hills. He thanked, by name, several people who helped him get through that monumental news conference.

However, in classic Magic fashion, he also made it clear the day isn't just about him -- it's about celebrating medical advances, remembering loved ones lost to the disease, and continuing to educate young people.

Michael Bublé and his wife are confirming their toddler, Noah, is getting treatment for cancer.

Michael and Luisana said they were devastated by his recent diagnosis and would be "suspending professional activities for now" to focus their time and attention on the 3-year-old.

According to reports in Argentina, where the family lives, doctors initially thought Noah had mumps ... but when they brought him to see doctors in the U.S. ... they found the cancer.

In their Facebook post Friday morning, Michael and Luisana wrote ... "We have a long road ahead of us and we hope that with the support of our family, friends, fans around the world and faith in God, we can win this battle."

Val Kilmer says he's healthy, happy and cancer free ... despite what his friend, Michael Douglas, is telling people.

Kilmer responded to recent rumors he's battling oral cancer reportedly started by his "The Ghost and the Darkness" co-star ... saying he loves Michael, but he's "misinformed."

Kilmer says he last spoke to Douglas almost 2 years ago to get a referral for a medical specialist to examine a lump in his throat, but that's it. He says he ended up with a diagnosis that did NOT include cancer.

Val continues in his Facebook post ... he doesn't know what led Douglas to speculate about his health, but he's sure it wasn't malicious.

Kilmer was spotted in February looking good, and he challenged any skeptics out there who think he's lying about his health now ... come see him in person in his play about Mark Twain.
