Great sign for Ryan Shazier -- a little over a month after he suffered a serious spine injury, the Steelers star was finally able to attend team practice Wednesday ... and says he's pushing HARD to make a full recovery.

Shazier, who's still in a wheelchair, but has reportedly regained some feeling in his legs, shared a photo of himself at practice along with an inspirational update.

"It’s great to be back for practices and meetings. Just to be able to feel a part of it means the world. So I’m working harder than I ever have to get back," he wrote.

"I’ve been making strides over the past month and continue to make progress. Taking it day-by-day, but I’m far from done."

Kim Kardashian looks like a hot milf chugging milk while promoting meal replacement shakes -- which she is -- but she's getting more attention for the whole barefoot in a dirty kitchen thing.

Kim posted the snapshot of herself in what appears to be a commercial kitchen, and her followers were quick to point out the floors need a good bleaching. The comments ranged from ruthless to trivial -- one person commented commercial kitchens have bigger stoves.

Apparently, it's come to that -- fans are so accustomed to seeing Kim's smoking hot body, they'd rather focus on appliances. Go figure.

Rod Carew says he feels like a "superman" with his new heart and kidney ... telling TMZ Sports he's only getting stronger since suffering a major health scare 2 years ago.

ICYMI -- Carew experienced a massive heart attack back in 2015. Just months later, he received a heart transplant from Baltimore Ravens tight end Konrad Reuland ... who died from a brain aneurysm when he was 29.

Carew -- who was a part of the '18 Rose Bowl Parade -- says he's forever grateful he received Reuland's organs and has kept in touch with his family ever since.

The 72-year-old -- who once made 18 straight All-Star games -- jokes that he's feeling better than ever ... and would LOVE to make a comeback after being away from the majors for 32 years!!

BONUS: We asked Carew who he thinks is the next Rod Carew ... and you gotta check out his answer.

Kanye West provided a little joy in a fan's final hours ... chatting with and rapping for her before she died.

We're told Kanye recently became aware of a young fan who was battling cancer. The fan's family tried hard to get in touch with him because the pre-teen was a huge fan, and last week -- when word reached Kanye, he jumped at the chance to connect.

Kanye FaceTimed the girl last week. They talked for awhile and the girl then asked Kanye to rap, "I Love Kanye" -- her favorite song. He was more than happy to oblige.

Celine Dion had to cancel her Vegas concert Saturday because, like many Americans right now, she's sick at home battling a nasty virus.

We're told the virus was serious enough to warrant a visit from the doctor. She was unable to sing clearly Saturday and was faced with no alternative, so she pulled the plug on the show and has been resting and on medication ever since.

Celine's generally known for toughing it through performances. She doesn't like canceling because so many people fly from out of town to see her perform.

There was a rumor Celine got hurt Friday night when a drunk fan got onstage and hugged her, but we're told that's not true.

Australian high jumper and model Amy Pejkovic is about to steal your heart ... and we're not just talkin' about her amazing bikini shots.

The 24-year-old got some rays with her friends at Bronte Beach in Sydney on Friday ... and the pics will make everybody in the U.S. forget all about the "bomb cyclone" -- but there's more to the story.

Pejkovic's journey is incredible ... she was misdiagnosed TWICE with a middle ear infection back in 2012. Turns out it was a life-threatening brain tumor ... and Amy believed she was days from dying.

But Amy fought like hell after brain surgery, and she's now gunning to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games!

Donald Trump surprised no one Saturday morning by finding it irresistible to respond to claims he's mentally unstable ... declaring himself a genius.

Trump reacted to claims made in Michael Wolff's new book "Fire and Fury," tweeting, "Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames."

Trump went on ... "I went from VERY successful businessman to top T.V. Star ... to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius ... and a very stable genius at that!"

He went on to blast the Russian investigation, saying after a year it's proven to be "a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media."

Rapper Kevin McCall says he suffered 3 broken toes and a fractured tibia after being shot in the foot in broad daylight in South Central L.A. and he swears he wasn't the one who fired.

McCall was taken to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood Wednesday after he says someone put a hole through his shoe as he was coming out of a convenient store.

There was a rumor going around that he accidentally shot himself in the foot, but Kevin gave us the play-by-play. He says police took a report, but Kevin does not plan to take any further action.

Fetty Wap's baby mama is mostly out of the woods after giving birth 3 months early to a baby girl.

Alexis Skyy gave birth to Alayia, who has been placed in an incubator after reportedly weighing a little over 1 pound at birth. Alayia is stable according to The Shade Room. We're told Fetty was by Alexis' side the whole time and he's still with her at the hospital.

Alexis underwent a C-section after her water broke early Tuesday. She's reportedly also doing fine. This is Alexis' first baby and at least Fetty's fourth. He has 1 more on the way with a different baby mama.

Fetty, a premature baby himself, didn't seem worried based on the video they posted earlier this week.

"Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines may have reason for concern over their unborn child ... and it centers around their ultrasound.

Joanna posted video of the ultrasound Wednesday after the couple announced they'd soon be welcoming their fifth kid. "Fixer Upper" fans speculated something was wrong with the images, because of excess fluid around the fetus. They've been commenting that the condition appears to mimic hydrops fetalis, a sometimes fatal condition.

Radiologist Nicole Saphier -- who has extensive experience in interpreting ultrasounds -- tells us there does appear to be skin edema (excess fluid in the skin). But Dr. Saphier is quick to add, although the ultrasound gives cause for concern, it's not conclusive. She says she'd need to see the whole ultrasound to determine if excess fluid is present in additional cavities such as the heart, lungs or abdomen.

Alex Trebek is taking a break from game show duties to recover from surgery he needed after taking a nasty fall a couple months ago.

The "Jeopardy!" host revealed Thursday he's out on medical leave to recover from a subdural hematoma suffered during the fall. Sounds very serious, but Alex downplayed it, calling it "a slight medical problem."

Trebek says docs discovered blood clots on his brain, but he's already undergone surgery and "the prognosis is excellent." He assures fans he'll be back soon.

Gabi Garcia says she's got a damn good reason for missing weight in Japan ... she literally could've killed herself if she kept droppin' sweat.

"I decide not cut weight because I feeling like I almost died," said Gabi -- who insists she did NOT miss weight by 27 pounds, but rather 17.

The Brazilian MMA star told TMZ Sports about the scary events leading up to her weigh-in debacle ... saying her vision went dark once she started shedding pounds, which told her it was time to call it quits.

In a social media post, Garcia also said she suffered from gnarly headaches and bloody noses anytime she trained.

Still, Gabi feels terrible for having to scrap her fight with Shinobu Kandori ... and told us she's gonna learn from this and come back stronger.

"I accept this fight. It's my fault."

Is Orlando Scandrick done in Dallas??

We tried asking the 10-year Cowboys vet when we got him out at E. Baldi in Beverly Hills ... and he definitely wasn't saying no.

FYI, the stud CB was placed on the IR with a back injury before the Cowboys' season finale. Orlando told TMZ Sports that move "didn't really mean anything," but at the same time, it's clear he's keeping his options open.

"I just wanna play football," Scandrick said.

Feel better, O ... we're sure Draya Michele will get you back in shape.

"Teen Mom 3" star Mackenzie McKee is asking for prayers for her mom after discovering her illness is much worse than they thought -- she's been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer ... TMZ has learned.

A family source tells us Mackenzie's mother, Angie Douthit, had exploratory surgery Wednesday that revealed 5 large lesions covering her brain -- they initially thought it was only 3 -- plus masses in her lungs and several blood clots throughout her body.

Mackenzie said Tuesday the family thought Angie was dealing with bronchitis. After getting the cancer diagnosis she asked for prayers and added, "I’m devastated, I’m angry, I'm shook, I can’t breathe. You are everything. Please pray."

We're told the next step will be radiation treatments, once doctors have the full picture of Angie's cancer.

The news is especially shocking based on how fit and healthy Mackenzie's mom was -- they'd just competed in a diabetes awareness run in November and Angie whooped her.

McKee also called her mom "the healthiest person I know" and said she works out daily, doesn't smoke or drink, and the disease doesn't run in the family.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were hot and sweaty for each other Wednesday afternoon, but it was likely only because of the pilates class they just left.

Fresh off a New Year's trip to Cabo San Lucas, the back-on couple looked like they needed some water leaving their West Hollywood hot pilates class after an intense workout.

They've been enjoying a much healthier and active lifestyle together since getting back together a couple of months ago. Selena's often on the sidelines watching Bieber's hockey games, but looks like they've found an activity they can do together.

Chief Keef had a pharmacy of drugs in his system when he was busted for DUI ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Keef was arrested in April in Miami, after cops say they saw him doing a weed deal.

Keef submitted to a urine test, and now we know the results, and they're pretty amazing ... Keef had the following drugs in his system:

-- Morphine
-- Codeine
-- Promethazine
-- THC
-- Hydrocodone
-- Norcodeine
-- Dihydrocodeine
-- Hydromorphone

8 drugs (EIGHT) in his system.

The State's attorney actually dropped the DUI Tuesday, but it was a scheduling issue. The DUI was refiled Wednesday.

BTW ... we learned firsthand how out of it Keef can be ... on "TMZ Live"
