8:30 AM PT -- Kim just thanked the doctors and nurses who helped Saint, saying, "I just want to thanks every nurse & doctor out there who works so hard around the clock. We are so grateful for you all!"

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's son, Saint West, was hospitalized last week with a bad case of pneumonia ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us the 2-year-old was brought to an L.A. area hospital Thursday with pneumonia, and that his parents were with him while he remained hospitalized, sharing overnight duties.

We're told Saint was released on Saturday, so he was checked in for just a couple days. He's at home now, and sources say he's doing well.

Kim shared a family photo from Christmas just a few days before Saint was admitted.

Kim and Kanye also shared a New Year's Eve kiss on Sunday. The hospitalization went down right after her mid-week meet-up with J Lo and A-Rod -- where Kim and co. enjoyed a taco Wednesday party.

Good thing Saint's on the mend ... his new baby sis is supposed to be coming home sometime this month. She'll probably need her big bro to show her the ropes, sniffle free.

Carrie Underwood might look different whenever she returns to the big stage ... 'cause she says she needed at least 40 stitches in her face after falling last month.

Carrie reportedly sent a health update Sunday to members of her fan club, revealing her doctor patched her face up with "between 40 to 50 stitches" while undergoing surgery from a nasty fall she suffered at home in November. She also broke her wrist at the time.

She goes on to say she's currently healing, but "not quite looking the same." She ends her note with a hopeful message about the new year ... adding "And when I am ready to get in front of a camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a bit different."

Carrie posted a photo of her covered face this Christmas season, but didn't address anything about her facial injuries ... which, apparently, were very serious. #GetWellSoon

Michelle Obama and daughter Malia got some extra R&R during their Hawaiian vacation by hitting up a local yoga studio.

The former First Lady Wednesday was spotted at Corepower Yoga in Kailua, Hawaii where the Obamas have been vacationing for the holidays. Michelle looks incredibly fit -- as usual -- and visibly happy. That million dollar smile says it all.

Although Malia joined her mom... there was no sign of Barack or Sasha. As for the family as a whole, splitting your time between yoga classes and the beach doesn't seem all that bad.

Namaste!

Solange is too sick to perform at AFROPUNK FEST on New Year's Eve, and she says it's due to an autonomic disorder she's been secretly battling for months.

Beyonce's sister opened up on her Instagram Wednesday and apologized to the people in South Africa for canceling her NYE gig ... but says it's doctors' orders.

Solange says she's been working through the illness and getting treatment for the past 5 months, but it's a "complicated diagnoses." She says, "Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all" ... and her docs couldn't clear her for a long flight and concert right after.

She vows to make it up to her fans, though ... by returning to AFROPUNK next time around.

FYI ... people with autonomic disorders typically experience fainting, lightheadedness, blood pressure issues and other symptoms due to a problem with the body's autonomic nervous system.

Ever challenge your boss to a fist fight while hopped up on painkillers?

That's exactly what Tyron Woodley did earlier this week ... when he texted Dana White in a post-surgery haze.

No, we're not kidding.

Tyron told us all about it on "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- saying he called out the UFC honcho after a shoulder surgery ... after some "ooey-gooey goodness" got the better of him.

FYI, Woodley told us his surgery was a success ... and you won't believe how fast he's expecting to come back and fight.

Devon Still -- one of the most beloved athletes in pro sports -- is officially retiring from football ... telling TMZ Sports he's ready to move on to the next phase of his life.

"I never wanted to be somebody who gives up on their dreams, but I don't want to be somebody who chases their dream too long and misses other opportunities."

The defensive end entered the national spotlight in 2014 when he put his NFL career on hold to focus on helping his daughter, Leah, battle Stage 4 cancer.

Devon and Leah inspired millions of people through appearances on TV shows, like 'Ellen' -- and the two raised a fortune for cancer research. They were awarded ESPN's Jimmy V Perseverance Award in 2015.

Still -- who was selected in the 2nd round of the 2013 NFL Draft -- later signed contracts with the Houston Texans and the NY Jets ... but was waived in August 2017.

Now -- after much thought and prayer, Still says he's made his decision to hang up his cleats. It sounds like he'll focus on growing his Still Strong Foundation (which provides aid to families with kids fighting cancer) and doing speaking engagements around the globe.

Heather North -- the longtime voice of Daphne on 'Scooby-Doo' -- died of a heart attack brought on by respiratory disease ... TMZ has learned.

North's official cause of death is listed as cardiopulmonary arrest with an underlying cause of constrictive bronchiolitis ...

. She also had a very low level of oxygen in her blood when she died on November 29.

As we reported ... the actress passed away at her home in Studio City following a long illness.

Heather starred on 'Scooby' for more than 30 years, and also had on-camera roles on "Days of Our Lives," "The Barefoot Executive," "Mr. Novak," and "The Fugitive."

John Salley says Magic Johnson called him the day after the NBA legend's 1991 earth-shattering HIV announcement ... to ask if Isiah Thomas had been privately dissing him for contracting the disease.

Johnson and Thomas ended their decades-old feud this week with a teary-eyed reconciliation -- part of a sit-down interview between the two men.

Salley played with Zeke on the Bad Boy Pistons team of the 80's, and when we reached out to him to ask him about the hatchet burying, he gave us some insight into why things were so bad in the first place.

"I know how tough it was. The morning after Magic announced I was on the phone with him, and he asked me, 'Did Isiah say such and such?'"

The fact Johnson was so concerned with Thomas' reaction to his illness shows how fractured their relationship was -- and why it took nearly 30 years to repair things.

Salley went on to say he's glad Magic and Isiah have patched things up -- and the fact that Johnson apologized for the way he treated Zeke really makes a difference.

"I'm the biggest Magic Johnson fan ever ... and now even more."

Darryl Strawberry says his sex addiction was so bad during his MLB days ... he would take chicks into the clubhouse and nail 'em between innings.

The ex-NY Mets star opened up to Dr. Oz (the full interview airs Thursday) and said he used to get away with it because teammates would cover for him when he would go MIA.

"It was pretty crazy," Strawberry says ... "I would go between innings, and stuff like that and run back and have a little party going on."

Strawberry has since sought treatment for his addictions and says he's a changed man -- noting that his old behavior is "not good for anyone."

Sarah Hyland put CVS on blast for leaving her hanging on crucial meds she needed, but the pharmacy is firing back, saying the mix-up was her own damn fault.

Sarah tore into CVS earlier this week after she said a Studio City location never notified her to pick up her medication before closing time ... as she claims they promised they would.

She also called them out for allegedly posting the wrong hours on the Internet. Based on her post, it appears she pulled the hours from a maps app.

And therein lies the problem, as they say. We're told CVS learned Sarah did use a 3rd party search engine to find those hours -- but did NOT check the actual CVS website. That site displays the correct pharmacy closing time ... 9 PM.

Fresh Kid Ice -- founding member of 2 Live Crew -- died of, among other things, cirrhosis of the liver ... TMZ has learned.

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... contributing factors to Fresh Kid's death also included Hepatitis C and a history of alcohol. We're told Kid suffered from acute respiratory failure and went into shock before his death.

The Medical Examiner's office said it signed off on a request for Fresh Kid's -- real name Chris Wong Won -- body to be cremated and sent to a funeral home, though it's unclear if the body's already been cremated.

TMZ broke the story ... Fresh Kid died at a Miami hospital back in July. He was a pioneer for Asian rappers and formed the legendary hip-hop crew with DJ Mr. Mixx and Amazing Vee in 1984 before hooking up with Luther Campbell.

Fresh Kid was 53.

Selena Gomez's mom got so worked up when she found out how serious things are between Selena and Justin Bieber, she had to be taken to a hospital ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us police went to an L.A. area hotel last week to do a welfare check on Selena's mom, Mandy Teefey, at a family member's request. We're told she was taken to a nearby hospital to get checked out, but not under a 5150 hold -- instead, she was voluntarily transported for treatment.

Sources with direct knowledge of the incident tell us Mandy had a heated convo with Selena that day about the reunion with Justin. When Selena revealed she and JB were in couples therapy, Mandy flipped ... realizing the relationship was going to be more long-term than she thought.

As we've reported ... Justin is a huge trigger for Selena's family, some of whom say they'll never forgive him or accept him for what they think he did to her years ago.

Mandy was released from the hospital the same day. We're told she's giving Selena space to figure out what she wants, but the fam already knows what they want ... and it ain't Justin.

Jay-Z's concert came to a screeching halt when he noticed a woman holding a sign that said she had beaten cancer not once ... but TWICE.

The rapper was in Oakland on his 4:44 tour when he couldn't help but read the sign he spotted one of his fans holding. Hova was so moved by her courage, he ended up inviting her onstage. Can't knock that hustle.

Jay made sure the woman got through the roaring crowd before they shared an awesome heart-to-heart moment ... with 20,000 people watching, of course.

It's a beautiful sight for N.Y. Giants fans ... Odell Beckham Jr. makin' his way around the Big Apple without his walking boot!!

TMZ Sports spotted the NFL superstar heading into MSG for the Knicks vs. Lakers game Tuesday ... and although his boot was super swagged out, it's a great sign for his health to see him without it.

OBJ went down with a season-ending ankle injury in October ... but watching him sit courtside with Magic Johnson to cheer on the Knickerbockers sans boot should give fans hope.

Get well soon, OBJ!

"WWE Tough Enough 3" winner Matt Cappotelli has terminal brain cancer ... but is still doing everything he can to fight the disease 6 months after the painful diagnosis.

Back in June, TMZ Sports reported on Matt's second surgery to remove a brain tumor -- over 10 years after he had one removed ... and had his pro wrestling career cut short.

But this time, 10% of the Grade 4 tumor could not be operated on since it was too close to his brain stem ... which gives Cappotelli 5 more years to live, at best -- doctors told WDRB in Louisville.

But, Matt ain't goin' down without a fight -- staying physically active and wearing a special cap 18 hours a day to keep the cancer at bay.

“Though it seems unfortunate, I want it to be portrayed as a story of hope -- unending hope,” Cappotelli said.

The burned bunny rescued from one of California's wildfires -- seen in a viral video -- is recovering well and could be released back into the wild soon. Take that, 2017 bad news!

The female cottontail suffered burns to both her ears and feet and was taken to the California Wildlife Center in Malibu after hopping into the flames of the Thomas fire ... which has scorched about 230,000 acres in Southern California.

She was rescued by 21-year-old Caleb Wadman, the dude seen wearing a red sweatshirt in that video, and although the move was super risky, some say the furball wouldn't have survived if he hadn't intervened.
