Common has the faith -- whatever Kanye's doing to find the creative spark to make a new album is the right move ... and it will be epic.

We got the rapper Tuesday leaving Equinox in L.A. ... he's all for Kanye's musical mountaintop retreat in Wyoming, telling our guy he's done the same type of thing in the past to find his own mojo.

3:45 PM PT -- Despite his no-show, Conrad's been officially charged with a felony count of driving or taking a vehicle without consent. He was also charged with 2 misdemeanors for violating the restraining order Hunter Daily has against him, and contempt of court ... also a misdemeanor.

Conrad Hilton -- who went off the rails Saturday morning with racial and homophobic insults directed at cops -- will stay in jail another night because he decided court was not for him.

Hilton was supposed to be arraigned Tuesday but we're told he simply refused to come out of his jail cell, so he never made it on the bus from County Jail to court.

Turns out ... if he refuses to come out there's nothing Sheriff's deputies -- who control the jail -- can do short of getting a court order allowing them to physically remove him from his cell and take him to the courtroom.

Hilton was arrested after allegedly stealing a Bentley from Rick Salomon's home, driving it to his ex-girlfriend's house and trying to break in. The ex-GF has a restraining order ... Hilton was arrested for violating that order.

TMZ broke the story, Conrad's attorney and family are trying to get him hospitalized as a condition of bail.

The arraignment was rescheduled for Wednesday.

9:15 AM PT -- Kehlani posted a video on IG further clearing up her emotional speech to fans, saying she's fine mentally ... and that she's just physically sick and exhausted. She says she only needs rest ... nothing more.

7:25 AM PT -- Kehlani just addressed her breakdown last night. She says she's still very much sick, but promises the Grand Rapids show will be rescheduled.

Kehlani broke down onstage Monday night and canceled her show -- telling fans she felt "crazy" ... this after being placed on a 5150 hold last year.

The R&B singer was set to perform in Grand Rapids, MI -- an early stop on her summer tour -- but she came out dressed down, and told fans she couldn't do the show because she had to go to a hospital.

Kehlani was in tears with her voice trembling as she promised fans she'd refund them out of her own pocket or reschedule.

We broke the story ... Kehlani was placed on a psychiatric hold last year after authorities deemed she was a threat to herself. Kehlani said at the time she had tried killing herself over rumors she'd cheated on Kyrie Irving.

We've reached out to Kehlani's camp for an update on her condition ... so far, no word back.

Kanye West is making a new album, and he's holed up in a Wyoming retreat at the top of a mountain to find his inspiration.

We know exactly where he is but hey, we don't want to ruin his mojo ... we like his music, too. But we can tell you he's been there a week and also went 2 weeks earlier, so he's smack in the middle of the creative process.

This explains Kanye's absence from some high-profile Kardashian events, including the Met Gala last week, where Kim went solo.

The last time we saw him on camera was during a Valentine's dinner date with Kim. He didn't even hit the stage at his own Yeezy fashion show. And, obviously, he hasn't performed since his hospitalization in November.

Yeezy's definitely trying to disconnect ... he's scrubbed his Instagram and Twitter profiles.

Multiple sources tell us this has nothing to do with problems at home or problems with his head ... it's all about creating music.

Conrad Hilton's family will use his arrest after going off the rails at his ex-girlfriend's house to get him help ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Conrad was arrested Saturday at 4 AM after allegedly stealing Rick Salomon's Bentley, driving it over to his ex-girlfriend's house and trying to break in.

Conrad was arrested for violating a restraining order after going on a vulgar rant against LAPD cops.

Hilton, the younger brother of Paris and son of Rick and Kathy, is still in jail on $60,000 bail.

The 23-year-old's lawyer, Robert Shapiro, tells TMZ he will appear in court Tuesday with his client and not only ask for bail, but Shapiro will ask the judge to impose a very specific condition ... to allow Conrad out ONLY if he agrees to enter a hospital where doctors can diagnose what's wrong with him.

Shapiro calls Conrad's behavior "bizarre and unusual" and says he needs help.

Rick and Kathy Hilton have struggled in recent years trying to help their son, but the issues clearly can't be solved by discipline.

Loretta Lynn is in a Nashville hospital after suffering a stroke at her home Thursday night.

A rep for the country legend shared the news Friday ... saying the 85-year-old is responsive and expected to make a full recovery.

Lynn, who is STILL touring, was scheduled to perform Friday night in North Carolina ... but that show and several of her upcoming stops have been postponed.

The singer's career has been full of milestones ... in 1972 she became the first woman to win Country Music Entertainer of the Year. She's won 3 Grammys and released around 60 albums.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz interrupted his recuperation to cast his vote on the health care bill.

Chaffetz is recovering from surgery he had last week to remove 14 screws and a metal plate in his foot.

He said he would chill in his home state of Utah for a few weeks before returning to Washington, but clearly this was a can't-miss vote.

Chaffetz was not able to enter the chambers on his own steam but rather required the help of a scooter.

The bill just passed 217-213 -- unclear if it would've covered Chaffetz's costs -- but Democrats could be heard chanting, "Na na na na hey hey, goodbye" from the rafters after the vote.

Another huge milestone for J.R. Smith's baby, who just crossed the 6 POUND mark ... after weighing only 1 pound at birth.

The NBA star's wife, Shirley, gave birth to little Dakota "Kota Bear" Smith back in January after only 21 gestational weeks ... roughly 5 months premature.

But after a miraculous 122 days in the Cleveland Clinic Children's Neonatology Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Kota is making incredible progress.

"Our baby has made it to 6lbs today!!!" Smith wrote.

Jeb Bush says he has no regrets after losing his White House bid to Donald Trump ... because Miami living with no media attention is all he needs to be happy.

We got the former Florida Guv and Republican presidential contender at LAX Monday, where he caught us up on everything from his dad's health to life outside the glare.

He has a clear, strong reaction about what could have been had he won the election.

Tom Brady says he didn't skip the Patriots' White House visit to diss President Trump -- he wanted to spend time with his mom.

Machine Gun Kelly is down for the count with broken bones in his chest ... an injury he suffered while shooting a movie last week.

MGK's rep tells TMZ ... he has a contusion and hairline fracture of the sternum (breastbone), and that's why he's had to reschedule the first 3 stops on his tour. Kelly announced the postponements Thursday night on social media, but kept quiet about the injury.

As we reported ... Kelly struggled through a show last weekend in Florida, even walking off stage at one point. Although he finished the show, it was obvious he was in a ton of pain.

Bad timing for the rapper ... his new album, "Bloom," comes out next month ... however, the rep says he's expected to make a full recovery, and Kelly will make up the tour dates.

DMX is pulling the plug on several tour dates, and his people say it's because of an unspecified medical issue.

X was supposed to do a show Tuesday night in Santa Ana, CA ... but the venue informed ticket holders the show had been canceled due to a "medical emergency."

According to our sources, his Wednesday show in Los Angeles, as well as a Thursday gig in San Diego will also be postponed. We're told several people in DMX's inner circle have been concerned about his health this week.

Many fans thought he was a little off the rails during his Brooklyn show last weekend, where the Ruff Ryders reunited. We're told X was indeed drinking heavily that night.

He's battled substance abuse in the past, and friends fear a relapse.

He added, "Wendy Will Be Ok! Thank You For All Of Your Messages And Prayers!!!!."

"The French Maid Will be Back Soon."

Erin Moran swiftly succumbed to cancer after the first symptoms appeared, according to an open letter written by her husband, Steve Fleischmann.

Steve, who was with Erin for 25 years, says she first noticed the signs of her cancer right before Thanksgiving when she woke up to a dime sized blood stain on her pillow.

Steve thought the blood was coming from her tonsils, but by December ... Erin had been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.

In the letter, which Erin's co-star Scott Baio posted on Facebook, Steve says by February Erin couldn't speak and eventually needed a feeding tube. According to the coroner the cancer had spread to her spleen, and she had a lot of fluid in her lungs when she died.

TMZ broke the story ... Erin died on April 22 at the age of 57. Steve says she died in bed holding his hand.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is waving the white flag on his storied career -- announcing he'll retire from NASCAR after the 2017 season.

The 42-year-old has racked up 26 wins (including TWO Daytona 500 victories) in 603 starts since turning pro in 1999.

He suffered a concussion back in 2016 that forced him to miss roughly half the season -- but he's since returned to the track and now the retirement tour begins.

Think Kobe Bryant ... but faster.
