Wendy Williams Says She'll Be Back on TV Very Soon ... Out & About for Met Gala

Wendy Williams is doubling down on her return to TV -- vowing she'll be back on the air later this year ... this while partying it up during the Met Gala.
The longtime host -- who's been MIA from her program for about a year due to health issues -- was painting the town red Monday night in NYC with Jason Lee ... where she hit the Standard Hotel for an after-party hosted by Cardi B.
Speaking of red, her dress was quite the sight ... but check out the quick convo we snuck in as she was entering the building. Our photog asks if Wendy is, indeed, going to take the reins on 'The Wendy Williams Show' again -- and sure enough ... she tells us she will.
February 2022
Watch to see what her timeline is ... sounds like WW is eyeing a fall lineup, but the details are still a bit hazy. Of course, Sherri Shepherd has permanently replaced Wendy ... so it's unlikely the OG will return to that show.
In any case, it's great to see her in such high spirits -- as you know, she's been dealing with a lot lately beyond just her medical care ... Wendy's in a financial battle, of sorts, but she put on a happy face for us here.
The last time we saw her was at Newark Airport where she appeared to be en route to Miami. She was walking around on her own then, and once again ... she's back on her feet.

ROE VS. WADE Supreme Court Overturning Abortion Rights ... In Leaked Draft Opinion
Abortion rights are all but over at the federal level in the United States ... the Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision in a draft opinion.
SCOTUS is striking down Roe, according to the draft document obtained by Politico.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, signed by 4 other Republican-appointed justices, and his language was scathing ... "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division."
Alito had more to say ... "The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation's history and traditions."
The opinion was drafted up back in February and it's unclear if there have since been any big changes. If the majority ruling sticks, Roe would be repealed immediately and states can immediately ban abortion or impose severe restrictions.
What's also shocking ... a draft of a Supreme Court opinion has never been leaked before the decision was published ... until today. There will undoubtedly be a full-court press on the part of SCOTUS to find the leaker.
It's unclear how Chief Justice Roberts will vote. If he sides with the majority, it would be a 6-3 ruling.
There are also rumblings now, about Congress creating a federal law banning abortions in all 50 states. It's unclear if Congress would even have that authority ... it could be for the Supreme Court to decide another day.
The Court is expected to issue its ruling in June.

Jared Padalecki Car Crash Was Horrendous ... Vehicle Hurls Over Wall And Hits Utility Pole

Exclusive

Jared Padalecki's car crash was about as bad as his costar, Jensen Ackles, made it seem the vehicle he was in went for quite the ride ... eventually bouncing off a solid steel pole.
The "Supernatural" star was involved in a bad car accident a couple weeks ago in Austin, TX -- something Jensen referenced at a weekend fan event in New Jersey -- which left him injured and unable to attend.
According to the accident report, obtained by TMZ, Jared was one of four people who were knocked around that night -- this after the Tesla they were all cruising in jumped over a concrete wall on a left turn ... and smashed against a utility pole.
The report, issued by the Texas Dept. of Transportation, features a description of what happened based on what the responding peace officer observed ... and it says the Tesla was going too fast on the turn, which caused it to hop the retaining wall.
The car apparently went head-first into the pole, and it then spun off to its right. Jared appears to have been a passenger alongside a driver named Jeremy Padalecki ... who we're told is his cousin. Two other people were also in the car.
The driver appears to have been most seriously injured, and considering Jared couldn't make the fan event ... that's saying something. Jared did share an update on his health last week, saying he was on the mend and planning to return to filming soon.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Jeremy was cited for speeding, but nothing more.

Lil Xan is not only doing much better, but he's taking extra precautions to make sure he stays sober when he returns to life on the road.
We caught up with the rapper this weekend at BOA Steakhouse ... where he told us about his progress and how he plans to stay on track in the future.
Xan says, he is 40 days clean, after doing 30 days in a detox center and 30 days in a rehab facility. He tells us he's feeling better than ever, and blessed to finally be sober.
NOVEMBER 2018
One element of his sobriety will be controversial to some people -- Xan says his rehab facility allowed patients to smoke weed, which he says helped him. That approach has been called "California sober," something Demi Lovato said worked for them ... until it didn't.
For now, LX is in great spirits and even showed off his GF while opening up to us about his new lifestyle. He's also looking forward to going on tour May 25 -- but, he's gonna be extra careful this time ... planning to bring a sober companion to make sure everything goes well and he isn't tempted to relapse.
As we've previously reported, Xan checked himself into a hospital in March and got 51/50'd ... he said he was experiencing a mixture of exhaustion, dehydration and depression from things he was seeing online.
He ended up spending 3 days in the psychiatric ward before getting the green light to check into a part of a facility focused on mental health.
Great to see him turning things around for the better!

Colby Covington Photo Of Broken Tooth Revealed ... After Alleged Jorge Masvidal Attack

Exclusive
- 1.7K shares
TMZ Sports has obtained pictures of Colby Covington's face following his alleged March altercation with Jorge Masvidal ... and in one of the photos, you can see the UFC star's front tooth is clearly broken.
The pics were taken a short time after Covington alleged Masvidal punched him in the head and mouth area on March 21 outside of a restaurant in Miami.
In the photos, Covington's right cheek appears to be red ... while his front left tooth is obviously fractured.
The pictures were included as exhibits in docs filed by Masvidal's attorney, Bradford Cohen, on Monday.
"Interestingly," Cohen wrote of the pictures in the docs, "the images do not demonstrate an injury aside from a small chip in [Covington's] fake tooth."
In the docs, Cohen is asking the judge to order Covington to take independent medical exams to determine the extent of the alleged "brain injury" that Colby said he suffered in the incident with Masvidal.
Cohen also asked the court in further documents filed on Monday to have Colby's Rolex watch inspected.
Cohen claims the timepiece that Covington said Masvidal damaged in the alleged attack is actually a "FOLEX." Cohen says there are doubts that it's worth anywhere remotely near $95,000 ... and he's asking the court to issue an order that would allow them to inspect the watch.
He also said pictures of the watch taken after the alleged incident with Masvidal show "simple wear-and-tear scratches."
As we reported, Masvidal has been hit with two felony charges following Covington's allegations -- one count of aggravated battery and one count of criminal mischief.
Masvidal has pled not guilty to the charges.

Megan Fox & MGK Be Careful Drinking Each Other's Blood ... Vampires Caution Couple
-
Exclusive
- 3.5K shares
Machine Gun Kelly's revelation he and Megan Fox drink each other's blood is drawing a warning from vampires -- yeah, the real deal -- and, believe it or not, they're reminding the couple ... safety first!
While MGK and Megan haven't explicitly used the V-word, many people on Twitter are labeling them that way, and now self-described vampires are weighing in on the famous couple's blood-drinking ritual.
Belfazaar Ashantison, the co-founder of The New Orleans Vampire Association (NOVA), is urging Megan and MGK to take proper precautions before drinking their lover's blood, including testing for potential diseases and blood-borne illnesses, from which he says vampires are not immune.
Megan and MGK have been together for nearly 2 years, which alleviates one concern, because Ashantison says most vampires do extensive research on their blood donors before using even the slightest drop. He says it took him 6 months to get to know his blood donor and feel comfortable drinking their blood, and they still get tested every 3 months just to be sure.
Soooo ... definitely not your grandpa's Hollywood vampire.
Father Sebastiaan, the founder of Endless Night Vampire Ball, is also urging Megan and MGK to be super safe with their blood drinking, specifically with regards to withdrawing blood.
MGK says he's willing to cut his chest with shards of broken glass to draw blood for Megan, but Sebastiaan says blood withdrawal should only be done through medical professionals.
While Ashantison and Father Sebastiaan admit they don't know all the ins and outs of MGK and Megan's blood ritual, they both agree -- no matter how weird it sounds to you -- if done safely, it's kosher for consenting adults.
Bottoms up???

Shaquille O'Neal is looking to fuel his 7'1", 320-pound body with NO meat -- the NBA legend says he's TRYING his best to go vegan!!
Shaq opened up about his health ambitions with comedian Rip Micheals at Slutty Vegan in Atlanta ... where he explained on the "Urban Eats and Treats" show how he's able to eat his favorite foods and still look out for his body at the same time.
"My friend introduced me to this place and it's healthy," the Big Aristotle said in the clip. "For example, I like cheeseburgers, right. But the way she cooks it, I can eat healthy, but still feel like I'm eating bad."
O'Neal -- who played over 20 years in the NBA -- says the "Slutty Vegan" joint in Atlanta allows him to eat his favorite foods without the guilt.
"Whenever I want to cheat, I come over here and cheat," Shaq added.
FYI -- 'Urban Eats & Treats' is a new food and travel series from Kevin Hart's Laugh Out Loud Studios ... where Micheals and his celebrity friends search for the best food and laughs in their respective cities.
Some of the show's featured guests include Shaq, DJ Envy, Bill Bellamy, Nick Cannon, Russell Peters, Deon Cole, Tamar Braxton and more.

The Diesel also revealed what his go-to food to cook is ... and college kids will be able to relate!!

Sugar Bear's makeover could be life-changing in more ways than one ... because a dentist discovered what appears to be a type of cancer in his mouth.
A rep for Suge tells TMZ ... the reality TV star is undergoing a full makeover in Los Angeles, and when he went to a dentist Thursday to get new teeth, the dentist found what looks like possible cancer of the lower gums.
We're told the signs of potential cancer include multiple white spots on Sugar Bear's gums.

Oprah Still Supports Mask-Wearing PO'd Over COVID Death Amnesia
Oprah's got a new project that addresses racial disparities in healthcare and COVID ... something she believes definitely isn't over, and which has been somewhat forgotten.
The media mogul spoke with LA Times to plug her new documentary, "The Color of Care," which is debuting this weekend on the Smithsonian Channel ... and she opened up A LOT about racism, healthcare, celebrity privilege, mask mandates and what one might characterize as COVID amnesia ... especially relating to those who've died in the pandemic.
Winfrey executive produces “The Color of Care,” a documentary about how COVID-19 has exposed racial inequities in the health system. The film features interviews with families of color who have lost loved ones. https://t.co/6VSusKyEjp
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) April 29, 2022 @latimes
First off, she discussed putting a spotlight on what POC, particularly those living in relative poverty, have had to deal with navigating the healthcare system these past 2 years ... and how she believes race has had much to do with them getting the cold shoulder.
Then, Oprah got personal with her own history ... acknowledging that she's been afforded an enormous amount of access and priority as a well-known person throughout her life.
She says that's actually one of the best perks of being famous ... being able to get the best of whatever you need anytime something is wrong. And, yet -- she explains that one time in the mid-2000s, she had a thyroid problem that was misdiagnosed by multiple doctors, whom she suggests didn't want to find what was really wrong with her out of fear of her fame.
When she did go to a thyroid specialist, she claims the guy told her to "embrace hunger," otherwise she'd gain a lot of weight. Some say that speaks to the fatphobia that permeates this country -- but big picture, O says that even the medical establishment is deeply flawed ... and advocates for folks to get multiple opinions, and to have a support system with you.
On the issue of masks ... Oprah says she still very much supports wearing them, even at this point ... saying it's too soon in her mind, but that she respects those who wanna ditch it.
Finally, Oprah spoke about the idea that we as a society seem to have glossed over the many COVID deaths we've endured ... saying, "I don’t recognize a country where you’ve lost nearly a million people and there hasn’t been some form of remembering that is significant. Not at the opening of a speech or mentioning in a State of the Union."
She believes there should be some sort of formal communal gathering specifically for this, adding ... "Who are we that we don’t recognize the significance of that acknowledgment?"

Kylie Jenner I Gained 60 and Lost 40 ... Candid About Post-Pregnancy Struggles
Kylie Jenner has been something of an open book about her post-pregnancy the second time around, revealing her mental struggles and now her weight.
Kylie says she gained 60 lbs during her recent pregnancy and is not going crazy to lose the weight. She says she's taking her time and has already dropped 40 lbs.
As for how she's doing it ... walking and pilates seem to be doing the trick.
Kylie posted, "Gained 60lbs again this pregnancy." She's essentially saying that's what she gained the first time around with Stormi, but in 2018 she had posted she gained 40 lbs, so the "again" comment is a bit confusing.
Kylie has said she struggled hard with postpartum since the February birth, both mentally and physically ... "I just want to say to my postpartum moms that postpartum has not been easy. It's not been easy, it's very hard, This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter."
She went on ... "It's not easy mentally, physically, spiritually ... it's just crazy. I didn't want to just get back to life without saying that because I think we can look on the Internet and for other moms going through it right now, we can go on the Internet and it might look a lot easier for other people and, like, the pressure on us, but it hasn't been easy for me."
She's now back on the treadmill and seems at least on the surface to be in a better headspace, but she's making it clear ... it's been tough.
BTW ... we still don't know the name of Kylie and Travis Scott's son ... they named him Wolf at birth, but decided fairly quickly it just didn't fit so they 86'd it. They haven't revealed the kid's new John Hancock.

The hours leading up to Sam Bruce's death were frantic and tragic ... because a 911 call, obtained by TMZ Sports on Friday, revealed the former Miami Hurricane was trapped inside of a crashed car while having a seizure.
In the audio, a caller can be heard telling dispatch that Bruce -- a Florida high school football legend -- had just suffered a seizure at around 8:23 PM on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and crashed his car into a pole as a result.
"They can't get him out," the woman on the call said. "And, the car is still in gear."
"People are trying to assist him," she added. "But, the car is still in gear. You can see it because the tires are spinning. Can't nobody seem to get in."
We are saddened to hear about the loss of one of the greatest players to ever come through SFE. Your infectious energy, and the ability to make anybody laugh will forever live in our hearts. We spoke with Sams family, they just ask you to pray for their family during this time 🕊 pic.twitter.com/iqZeWRoJov

The woman said Bruce, a former wide receiver, appeared to be convulsing as he was locked inside of the car ... telling dispatch, "Every time the seizure hits, the tire spins."
"Nobody seems to be able to get inside the vehicle to assist him."
Cops and medical personnel eventually arrived on the scene ... and a Fort Lauderdale Police Dept. spokesperson tells us they performed CPR on Bruce and ultimately transported him to a nearby hospital.
Sadly, Bruce passed away at the hospital hours later on Thursday morning.
The spokesperson tells us "the circumstances surrounding this incident are not suspicious and foul play is not suspected." A rep for the Broward County Medical Examiner said Friday that a cause and manner of death are still pending.
Bruce was a superstar on the gridiron during his high school football days at St. Thomas Aquinas -- blowing by defenders so often, he earned the nickname "The Samborghini."
Bruce signed to play receiver for the Miami Hurricanes in 2016 ... but he was dismissed from the school just months into his freshman year. He went to attend Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. and Southeastern University ... and he later played for the Indoor Football League.
He was just 24 years old.

Danica Patrick I Took Out My Breast Implants ... After Suffering From Illness

Breaking News

Danica Patrick had her breast implants removed this week ... saying on Friday she believed they were causing her health to deteriorate rapidly.
The former racecar driver opened up about the surgery on her social media page ... explaining that after getting the fake boobs in 2014, she took them out on Wednesday.
Danica said they were causing her "Breast Implant Illness" -- believing the silicone was slowly poisoning her.
Danica did say she was happy with them over the first few years after having them put in ... but in 2018, she started to notice changes in her health. Weight gain, hair loss, dizziness and more affected her, she said.
Then, in 2020, Danica said "the wheels came off."
"I had cycle irregularity, gained more weight, my hair wasn’t looking healthy at all and my face was a different shape (weird I know)," she wrote in her social media post. "So I went down the rabbit hole to figure it out. I did every test that could be done."
Eventually, Danica said she did her homework, and discovered the implants were likely her problem.
Immediately following surgery, Danica said she was feeling better -- posting a side-by-side photo to prove the procedure had helped.
"The picture is a snap shot of a couple hours before and a couple hours after," the 40-year-old said. "Within hours after surgery this is what I noticed - my face had more color and less dark circles (no food before the second pic), my face started producing oil again, I could take a 30% deeper breath into my chest already, and I had so much energy when I woke up."
Danica said she's hopeful her story helps impact others who might be going through a similar experience.
"My belief is, it's not if but when you develop symptoms," Patrick said of people who get the implant procedure done. "Some are right away, others are over 15 years later. Silicone is a foreign object and leaches chemicals."
"If this post helps just one get to the root of their issues, it did its job," she added. "I will share my progress as I go along. ❤️"
