Alan Thicke went to a Christmas party at John Paul DeJoria's house on Sunday ... and people there say he was happy, healthy and looking forward to the holidays.

Alan, his wife, Tanya, and his son, Brennan, mingled with celebs like Smokey Robinson, Jane Seymour and Clint Eastwood at the Malibu shindig which had everything -- live band, petting zoo, photo booth, Santa Claus, real snow AND an In-N-Out truck.

When it came time to chow down, we're told Thicke ditched his burger bun and ate it with just lettuce. His pal Ron White was also there and tells us Alan was health conscious about his diet, and avoided carbs.

It might be time to start taking the Beer Mile race seriously ... 'cause former world record holder Lewis Kent just released his OWN signature shoe with Brooks Running.

Kent -- the first competitor to dominate the sport -- signed a deal with Brooks back in November 2015 ... and now he's come out with the very first Beer Mile shoe.

Called the Beer Mile Hyperion -- it features a maple leaf on the heels (to honor Kent's Canadian roots) and the outsole is "formulated for premium wet-dry traction and skid resistance" ... perfect for running through spilled beer.

Kent will rock the new kicks at the FloTrack Beer Mile World Championships this weekend when he tries to take back the world record from current holder Corey Bellemore ... who just signed a deal with Adidas.

Talk about competing on AND off the track!!

Kanye West, fresh off an involuntary psychiatric hold, was still able to get security clearance to see Prez-elect Donald Trump, because the Secret Service doesn't consider the rapper a threat.

A Secret Service official tells TMZ, "Personal problems that Mr. West is working through does not establish him as a security threat to President-elect Trump."

The official added Trump's staff ultimately made the decision to give Kanye the all-clear. TMZ has learned Donald Trump himself made the decision to sit with Kanye for 15 minutes.

Kanye West went to NYC Monday to create a coast-to-coast medical team to stabilize him from a condition that resulted in an 8 day psych ward stay ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the rapper tell us ... Kanye made the trek to Manhattan to interview psychiatrists who will become his go-to shrink when he's on the East Coast. The psychiatrist will join Kanye's West Coast treatment team, which has been providing extensive, almost round-the-clock care.

We're told Kanye traveled to NYC on a private jet with members of his medical team. Our sources say doctors are all over Kanye to make sure he takes his meds, which are a critical link in keeping him from going off the rails again.

We're also told stress is a trigger for Kanye, and he's focusing on projects that don't create tension. His biggest pleasure now is working on the remodel of his Hidden Hills estate, which is relaxing to him ... and during his New York trip he met with designers and an architect to help in the various designs.

Our sources say another outing Kanye wants is Xmas shopping for his family in the Big Apple.

Kanye West's road to recovery now includes a cross-country flight -- he's feeling healthy enough to travel all the way to NYC for some business meetings.

We got Pablo out in NYC, and there are no apparent lingering aftereffects of his recent breakdown. He's not all that talkative in public yet, but he's been seen at several different spots around the city ... including his recording studio.

As we reported, 'Ye's been working on new music since he got home from the hospital.

This trip looks to be another sign of Kanye's newfound stability.

6:25 AM PT -- A rep for Nestle USA tells TMZ, "The allegations are baseless and we will vigorously defend ourselves. All Nestle products and labels comply with FDA and USDA regulations."

Lean Cuisine has always touted itself as the healthy alternative ... which is why some incredulous consumers have sued the diet giant, claiming its food fare is filled with preservatives.

Courtney Ross filed a class action suit against Nestle, which manufactures Lean Cuisine frozen dinners, claiming she went to a CVS in NYC and bought the Four Cheese Pizza, paying what she claims is a premium for a preservative-free meal.

Ross says to her chagrin, she checked the label and saw the pie contained citric acid, designed to preserve flavor and freshness. She says other companies fess up when they use citric acid, acknowledging it's a preservative. She mentions Hungry Man, Jimmy Dean and DiGiorno.

And Ross then unleashes a litany of Lean Cuisine meals which contains citric acid, including Asian-Style Pot Stickers, Shrimp Alfredo, Mushroom Mezzaluna Ravioli and Ranchero Braised Beef.

Kanye West is a great actor who fooled everyone into thinking he was melting down, at least according to Rick Ross, who's giving 'Ye props for pulling off a stunt -- but trust us, it's no stunt.

During a NY appearance Sunday night, Rick said Kanye's an absolute "genius" for playing everyone out the way he did. Ross is tight with Kanye, so you might think he's preaching the gospel here.

Truth is though, Kanye really was fighting deep paranoia during his 8 day stay in a hospital. We know from multiple sources ... this was no stunt.

Call off the dogs -- Hugh Hefner looks to be alive and well ... based on what his wife posted Sunday night.

Crystal Hefner -- Hugh's 3rd wife -- uploaded a Snapchat video of herself and hubby having dinner at the Playboy Mansion ... rocking the ever popular dog filter.

From what we can see, Hef looks pretty good for a guy who's 630 in canine years -- despite rumors he went to the big doghouse in the sky.

Kanye West is back in the public eye -- surfacing exactly where you'd expect him to Thursday in Los Angeles.

The 'Life of Pablo' rapper was spotted at an art installation at the Pacific Design Center ... and he was sporting blonde hair -- a different look from what he had before his hospitalization for a mental breakdown.

Good to see 'Ye getting back into what he loves.

As we first reported ... he's also making music in his home studio.

Earl Thomas is getting some superhero support from one of his biggest fans ... Chris Pratt ... who tells TMZ Sports he's praying for the injured Seahawks safety to get well soon.

Thomas broke his leg against the Panthers on Sunday -- and has been contemplating retirement ever since.

Pratt says he'll support whatever decision Thomas makes -- and wants the superstar to know how much he appreciated watching him play.

Question is ... do the Hawks still have a shot at the Super Bowl without ET?

Kanye West's bounce back from the mental breakdown could come sooner than expected -- the recovery process has his creativity flowing again, and a new album could be in the offing.

Sources close to Kanye tell TMZ ... since he got home, he's been more relaxed and focused. We're told Kanye's built a temporary studio in their Bel-Air mansion so he can have the privacy he needs to get healthy, while also making new music as ideas come to him.

Our sources say Kanye's comparing the breakdown, and 8 day hospital stay, to his near-fatal car crash and his mother's death. We're told he feels he created some of his best work -- "Through The Wire" and '808s' -- after those crises.

As we reported, Kanye started melting down when he stopped taking prescribed doses of his usual meds for psychological issues. We're told he's kept that under control since leaving the hospital, and he's in such a creative space ... an album's worth of material is a real possibility.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going through intense emotional struggles -- dealing with the robbery and his breakdown -- but none of it adds up to divorce.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, recent reports Kim's planning to hightail it out of her marriage are total BS. In fact, we're told since Kim's robbery and Kanye's hospitalization, they've grown closer and rely on each other more than ever for support.

Since he's been home, we're told Kanye's been getting much needed rest and spending time with his kids. We're told he's recovered enough to start working again, but still not overwhelming himself with big projects.

Another good sign for Kanye, and for the marriage, we're told they went out for dinner at a friend's house Tuesday night.

Shannen Doherty's husband isn't ready to let her biz managers off the hook for her breast cancer diagnosis -- he's filed his own lawsuit, on the heels of Shannen settling hers.

Kurt Iswarienko says the managing team destroyed his sex life with Shannen. In his suit, he echoes what Shannen said in hers -- that Tanner Mainstain Glynn & Johnson let her health insurance policy lapse, and therefore delayed her diagnosis.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kurt also claims the firm mismanaged his funds, and got him mixed up in bad loans over the years that ruined his credit.

Nicki Minaj is getting more than social media backlash for posting video of a woman losing it in Miami -- now a mental health organization is dressing her down for allegedly mocking the woman.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI-Miami) is sounding off, just like several of Nicki's fans, saying the clip is an invasion of the woman's privacy, which dehumanizes her.

NAMI says it's pissed Nicki's used her fame -- she has 70 million IG followers -- to influence young people in a negative manner. A rep for NAMI says, "Nobody would make fun of a cancer patient, and mental illness is an illness like any other."

Florence Henderson secretly battled serious heart issues for 10 years before she died of a heart attack ... this according to her death certificate obtained by TMZ.

The 'Brady Bunch' star passed away at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica on Nov. 24th.

The death certificate notes she suffered from heart disease for 10 years.

5 years ago, Henderson was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat.

The death certificate also notes Henderson was in the entertainment industry for 64 years ... legend.

R.I.P.

Kanye West is out of the hospital but not out of the woods, and it all stems from the rapper's erratic pattern of taking his meds ... sources connected with the family tell TMZ.

Our sources say Kanye has long suffered from psychological issues controllable by medication. We're told Kanye is steady on his meds, but deviated from the prescribed dosage ... and that's what led to the downward spiral and eventual mental breakdown.

It's still unclear if Kanye flat-out stopped taking some of the pills or just decided to take different amounts -- but we're told he made the biggest changes in the wake of Kim's Paris robbery. Doctors were able to keep Kanye in the hospital for 8 days, and during that time were able to medicate him, and get him more stable.

We're told he's getting outpatient treatment and he's okay right now, but since he's not under 24/7 observation ... it's up to him to stay on the correct dosage.
