Jeezy's son got slashed in the face in a violent altercation that left a man dead ... and cops are trying to determine if the carnage was the result of the 2 going at each other.

According to law enforcement ... the ATL rapper's 22-year-old son, Jadarius, was involved in an incident Sunday morning in Georgia that ended with gunfire. Officers responded to a shots fired call, and when they arrived they found a 37-year-old man had been shot ... he later died at the hospital

Cops say Jadarius sustained a "possible knife wound to the face" and was treated at the scene, but it's unclear what occurred prior to the altercation between the two.

Drew Findling, the attorney for Jeezy's son, tells TMZ ... "We are grateful to law enforcement for releasing Jadarius after their preliminary investigation. He continues to receive medical treatment for the injury he endured during the incident.”

Jackie Fuchs, the former Runaways bassist and reigning queen of 'Jeopardy,' had a major health scare while taping the show ... and it was so bad, she thought she was having a stroke!

Jackie tells us midway through the latest 'Jeopardy' contest her blood sugar levels crashed, causing her to lose control of her motor functions. She says the studio audience absolutely noticed too, and even groaned as she was struggling to speak.

If you've been watching Jackie dominate her 'Jeopardy' competition, you know she's on a four-night win streak heading into Thursday's episode. Jackie says her medical emergency will most likely be edited out. Meanwhile, she's just trying hard not to reveal anything about the final result.

Jackie's win streak on the show started last Friday, but it wasn't until this week Alex Trebek revealed her rock star past with Joan Jett's all-female rock group.

Jackie's clearly feeling better now ... because we had one of our staffers -- who considers himself a trivia expert -- challenge her.

This is awesome!

The House of Representatives voted UNANIMOUSLY on Thursday to award the Congressional Gold Medal to ex-Saints star Steve Gleason for all the great work he's doing to battle ALS.

Gleason (who played for the Saints from 2000 to 2006) was diagnosed with ALS back in 2011. The disease affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

But, despite his physical challenges, Gleason has been a leading voice in raising awareness and money for ALS organizations.

For example, he's advocated for federal legislation to help ensure people living with diseases like ALS have access to speech-generating devices and he's also been a major leader in the largest coordinated and collaborative ALS research project in the world.

The politicians were obviously impressed -- and Gleason will become the 1st ex-NFL player to receive the award.

FYI, the Congressional Gold Medal recognizes people who have "performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement."

It's one of the highest civilian awards in the U.S.

“It is a true honor to witness Steve Gleason become the first New Orleanian and former NFL Legend to receive the Congressional Gold Medal,” Saints Owner Gayle Benson said.

"Along with his wife, Michel, and everyone at Team Gleason, they have unfailingly confronted ALS with a courageous and unwavering determination. Their tireless work to provide crucial assistance and the latest in technology and services has improved countless people’s quality of living."

"Steve is leaving a truly indelible mark in American history and we are honored to call him a true New Orleans Saint."

Ryan Leaf says he's glad Josh Gordon is stepping away from football to focus on what's really important -- his mental health -- and the ex-QB says he's willing to help if the WR needs him.

Leaf has fought a very public battle with mental illness ... and warns Gordon -- who left the Pats on Thursday to focus on his mental health -- the fight he's facing is a very difficult one to win.

"This will be the hardest thing he ever does," Leaf tells TMZ Sports.

"Making it to the NFL for him was easy in comparison to what he has to battle and what he goes through on a daily basis."

But, Leaf -- who's sobered up and now hosts a sports talk show on SiriusXM -- says he's down to help ... and has actually reached out to Josh to make sure the wideout knows that.

"This is really all about surrender and acceptance. Surrendering to something bigger than you and then accepting the help from people who have been through it before."

"I've reached out to Josh and his manager, Michael Johnson, plenty of times, and they know I'm here for him. They know I'm available."

FYI, Leaf is currently a program ambassador for Transcend Recovery Community and its Mentoring Program ... which helps people who are battling substance abuse issues.

2:35 PM PT -- We're told the tweet Ariana posted -- and then deleted -- that set him off was, "stop weaponizing mental health. everyone." She was responding to Kanye, who had called her out for inserting herself in his beef with Drake. We're told after Pete saw Ariana's tweet, that triggered him to respond with a post supporting Kanye, followed by his suicide threat.

Pete Davidson is turning over a new leaf thanks to the immense support of his loved ones ... and he's getting professional help as well.

Sources close to the 'SNL' star tell TMZ ... he's now hunkering down and focusing on his mental health issues and his well-being. We're told friends and family members rallied around him this week, and calls of support and encouragement have been coming in nonstop.

Our sources say Pete's been overwhelmed by all the love and it's lifted his spirits ... and he plans to be back on 'SNL' when it returns in mid-January.

We broke the story ... Davidson was really in a dark place last weekend when he posted an ominous note suggesting he wanted to die, and he even believed his friends and colleagues didn't care about him. We're told what spun him into that dark place was Ariana Grande's tweet seemingly making fun of mental health issues.

Pete now realizes ... his friends and family do indeed care about him ... a lot.

As for his ex-fiance, Ariana Grande, being turned away by security when she rushed to comfort him ... we're told it's because he was hurt by what she tweeted.

The child Dikembe Mutombo flew to the U.S. to remove a massive tumor from his face required CPR after he went into cardiac arrest during surgery ... TMZ has learned.

According to dispatch audio -- obtained by TMZ -- 8-year-old Matadi was administered CPR Sunday at around 6 PM PT as an ambulance arrived to take him from one section of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center campus -- where he was undergoing surgery -- to an Intensive Care Unit in a nearby building.

At one point, a dispatch operator calls off one ambulance and sends another that's closer.

The surgery was scheduled to last 6 hours and Matadi went into cardiac arrest around the 6-hour mark. We don't know if the operation was completed. We've been trying to get an update for days, to no avail -- no one's talking. We were told, as of Monday night, Matadi was in stable condition and was able to move his hands and feet. Otherwise, everyone's radio silent.

Phaedra Parks has what you need to take care of things while you're down under ... nope, not Australia. Your vagina.

The former 'RHOA' star gathered a bunch of friends for her Ladies' Night Out event at her ATL crib and intro'd them to her new product -- "The Healthy Peach."

Not hard to guess ... it's a cleansing wipe designed, as Phaedra says, to get you ready for any occasion.

Famous Dex falling asleep on IG Live had fans concerned about his health, and it turns out they're not the only ones ... his camp is working overtime to help the kid kick drugs.

TMZ has learned the Chicago rapper passing out in the middle of his live stream earlier this week was just the latest troubling sign that he's got a drug problem. We've been told Dex abuses opioids.

In case you missed it, FD literally nodded off in the middle of talking to his followers and playing music. His head began to lean forward and his lit blunt rested on his hand for a while before he finally woke back up. The disturbing scene was alarming to his fan base.

Dex later responded on the same platform, telling folks he'd simply fallen asleep because he was tired from working in the studio for so long ... and it was all much ado about nothin'.

Thing is, we're told that's just not the case. Sources say Dex was upset by the video of himself passing out and expressed a desire of never wanting to see himself like that again. The problem ... he's tried getting treatment, but always circles back to drugs.

This is how bad it's gotten for Dex -- we've learned there's someone who is always by Dex's side for the sole purpose of making sure he's coherent enough to do his job. We're also being told that, at times, there's even someone who sleeps in the same bed to make sure he's okay. His team is actively working to get him the help he needs.

Selena Gomez continues to be one with nature after completing treatment and returning back West following her emotional breakdown ... taking a hike with some friends.

The singer hit up Malibu with some folks for a mini workout, where she was decked out in a white sports bra, athletic pants and a baseball cap as they walked along a trail.

The hike comes just a day after she hit the slopes with friends in Big Bear, CA. She was bundled up in those photos, but not here. We gotta say, Selena looks fantastic.

We broke the story ... Selena entered a mental health facility a couple months ago after having what we're told was an emotional breakdown in the hospital. Sources say she'd become despondent after her kidney transplant.

Orlando Brown's downward spiral has one of his friends seriously worried the end is near ... and he's calling on one man to save the troubled ex-Disney star.

Brown's set to appear on "Dr. Phil" Friday, in an intervention-type setting orchestrated by Brown's friend who claims he's suffering from a mental disorder and has burned so many bridges ... he's run out of resources for help.

The clip's pretty shocking -- both because of what the friend says about the "That's So Raven" star ... and the look in Orlando's eye(s) when he sits face-to-face with Dr. Phil.

We broke the story ... several of Brown's friends staged an intervention for him in October to encourage him to enter a rehab facility. It worked -- but only temporarily -- and it's clear people are still very concerned about him.

As we reported ... Orlando's been in and out of handcuffs several times in 2018, including after he was busted breaking into a restaurant in September.

And, of course, there was the crazy bounty hunters bust back in April ... when he was arrested in his undies.

For the full interview, check out "Dr. Phil" Friday.

Missy Franklin -- the Olympic prodigy who won 4 gold medals as a 17-year-old in the London Games -- has announced she's putting an end to her swimming career at just 23 years old.

The first American woman ever to earn 4 golds in one Olympics in any sport announced in a statement on ESPN on Wednesday that shoulder injuries are putting an end to her career.

"It took me a long time to say the words, 'I am retiring,'" Franklin wrote ... "A long, long time. But now I'm ready. I'm ready to not be in pain every day."

"I'm ready to become a wife, one day a mother. I'm ready to continue growing each and every day to be the best person and role model I can be. I'm ready for the rest of my life."

Franklin was an absolute monster in the 2012 Olympics ... smashing world records and boat racing the competition.

But, Missy is perhaps MOST famous for turning down all the cash that coulda come from her success in those Games ... 'cause she opted to not go pro and instead swim at Cal Berkeley.

Franklin disappointed years later in the 2016 Olympics in Rio ... failing to earn medals in her individual's events -- and later revealing she battled injuries, depression, insomnia and anxiety during those Games.

"This is by no means the end," Franklin wrote of her retirement.

Remy Ma is back in the hospital days after welcoming a baby girl, due to complications from giving birth ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Remy was suffering from excessive bleeding Tuesday night and went right back to the hospital. The post-birth complications necessitated emergency surgery.

As we reported ... Remy and Papoose announced the birth of their daughter on social media, but didn't disclose her name. Papoose called it "tough labor." Mind you, Remy went into labor at age 38 -- Papoose is 40 himself -- and revealed last year she had recently suffered a miscarriage.

Amazingly, we're told she delivered her new baby naturally.

As for how things went on the operating table, Remy received blood transfusions ... and the good news, we're told the surgery was a success. We're told she's doing well, and she's expected to be released in the next day or so.

Get well soon, RM. And, of course, congrats on the kid.

Pete Davidson thinks the world is against him, and not just internet trolls. He believes even his friends and colleagues don't care if he lives or dies ... even though that's not the case.

Sources close to Pete tell us he's reached out to people in his life and at times lashed out, claiming they were ignoring him and his struggles, and if he did end his life ... they wouldn't care.

Now it's clear what Machine Gun Kelly was saying when he told us it was a really "weird time" for Pete and those around him.

We're told Pete has reached out to those in his circle, including colleagues asking for help, but at the same time putting up a wall and even accusing them of ignoring his pain.

As we reported, Ariana Grande was so concerned after Pete posted what seemed like a suicide threat over the weekend, she rushed to 30 Rock to offer him comfort, but he turned her away and even had security block her.

Our sources say Pete's friends have expressed their love for him and they're doing whatever they can to offer him support, but it doesn't seem to be working.

An 'SNL' insider tells us the cast and crew "have been incredibly supportive of Pete."

Selena Gomez is back doing fun things with her friends, because she was just tagged in a bunch of pics with her pals... and it looks like they're all having a grand ole time on the slopes.

Selena is smiling and looking cute in the photos, the first images we've seen of her since she went to a mental health facility to get treatment for what sources called an emotional breakdown.

A source close to Selena tells us she's healthy and happy to be home.

Selena and her actress friend Bailee Madison hit up Big Bear, CA, Tuesday for some snow tubing ... and naturally, the girls took TONS of pics.

We broke the story ... a few months ago Selena was hospitalized twice when sources say she became despondent and emotional after her kidney transplant. We were told she had "a meltdown" and "freaked out."

The snow day is good news for Selena, who will hopefully spend the holidays with her friends and family.

The child Dikembe Mutombo brought to the United States for a surgery to remove a life-threatening tumor on his face, went into cardiac arrest during the operation ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the surgery tell us, at around 6 PM Sunday, more than 6 hours into the operation, 8-year-old Matadi went into cardiac arrest and was immediately taken to the Intensive Care Unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. We're told he's now in stable condition and is slowly recovering.

The emergency came toward the end of the surgery, which began at 11:30 AM.

We do not know if the surgeons had completed the surgery, but if it went according to schedule it should have been wrapping up.

Matadi and his family were staying at the Ronald McDonald house in Los Angeles leading up to Sunday's procedure. Mutombo, who met the little boy during a visit to the Congo, greeted the boy and his family when they landed Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Knee inflammation be damned ... nothing can keep Todd Gurley from a good Ugly Sweater party!

The L.A. Rams running back threw on his best Santa coat and red beanie for a big Christmas event at a mansion in the Hollywood Hills on Monday night.

Gurley seemed to be moving around the party pretty well -- sipping on drinks, posing for pics and even dancing around a little bit.

It's not like he was running wind sprints in the backyard -- but it was a big mansion with stairs and he handled it all just fine.

Gurley aggravated the injury in his left knee during Sunday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles -- and coach Sean McVay has said he'll be monitoring the knee going into Week 16.

"If he's able to go, we want him to be able to go," McVay told the media ... "But, if it's something that whether you're playing for the playoffs or whether you're not, we're always going to be smart with a player like Todd."

Gurley wasn't the only star at the party -- comedian Michael Blackson was there with an attractive female friend.
