Rick Ross $30K Donation Saves Health Clinic From Foreclosure

Published

Rick Ross brings more to his community than just car show bonanzas ... and his latest act of kindness to his Georgia neighborhood is sparing a health center from imminent doom.

We're told the MMG rapper learned about the Fayette C.A.R.E. Clinic's fate through a conversation with his lawyer Steve Sadow.

Rozy was immediately touched by pending bad news for the community ... and swooped in with a $30k check to save the clinic from an immediate shutdown, and he's planning to do more down the line.

Rozay told the local media his father would probably still be alive had he had access to healthcare resources, and he didn't want anyone else to suffer the same fate.

The clinic executive director Geneva Weaver says their patients live 200% below the national income level and Rick's donation is the largest they've ever gotten!

Rozay's neighbors recently complained about the additional level of vehicle and foot traffic his annual car show brings to the area ... a hurdle that was overcome and he went on to get praise from the county itself.

Haters gon' hate but this move to spare the clinic feels pretty untouchable.

Bam Margera Son His Motivation for Sobriety ... Finally Talking to Phoenix

Published | Updated

Bam Margera's son Phoenix is inspiring him to detox and sober up following a psych hold ... and his estranged wife is allowing him to talk to their kid again.

Nikki Margera's attorney, David Glass, tells TMZ ... she's given the green light for Bam and Phoenix to start communicating, and they're talking over FaceTime while Bam's in rehab.

We're told Bam's FaceTime sessions with Phoenix are being modulated by one of Bam's therapists ... and, so far, things are going well.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Bam is still in treatment at one of Lamar Odom's rehab facilities, and Nikki is not talking to him on the FaceTime calls.

There's been a lot of bad blood between Bam and Nikki ever since she filed for legal separation, including a series of angry texts Bam recently sent her, so it's not a surprise she's staying off the calls.

Our sources say Bam usually dominates the FaceTime convos with 5-year-old Phoenix, with Dad typically going on for about 5 minutes.

As we first reported, Bam's been detoxing since June 7 ... this after LAPD put him on a 5150 psychiatric hold following a video rant where he threatened to end his life if he couldn't see his son.

"Imagine Dragons" frontman Dan Reynolds will do whatever it takes to show love to people who are battling cancer ... even if that means an impromptu performance of one of his band's biggest hits.

Dan was at a comedy show over the weekend in Hollywood with his girlfriend, Minka Kelly, when he serenaded 16-year-old cancer survivor Zoe Suder with a special tune ... and TMZ has it all on video.

Zoe's mom, Leslie, tells us her family was celebrating Zoe finishing 8 months of chemotherapy for stage 4 metastatic bone cancer -- they rented out a lounge area Friday night at the Bourbon Room on Hollywood Blvd.

During his set, comedian Anthony Jeselnik shouted out Zoe, and when Dan caught wind of their celebration ... he went over to her group and sang "Whatever It Takes."

As you can see, Dan shocked Zoe when he came over, said he was super proud of her ... and shared how he's lost friends and family to cancer.

Dan helped launch the Tyler Robinson Foundation after the Imagine Dragons super-fan passed away at 16 from a rare form of cancer. The foundation helps families who have children fighting cancer.

John Amos Declines $$$ From Kid's Fundraiser ... GoFundMe Shut Down

Published | Updated

"Good Times" star and "America's Dad" John Amos doesn't want any of the money his daughter crowdfunded on his behalf ... and now her GoFundMe has been taken down.

John's daughter, Shannon Amos, had been seeking donations for medical bills and attorney fees in the name of her famous father, who she claims is fighting for his life in a hospital after falling victim to elder abuse and possible financial crimes ... all of which John has called total BS.

As we reported, Shannon started a GoFundMe with a $500,000 goal earlier this month, but it's now been wiped from the internet ... and a spokesperson for GoFundMe tells us it's because John declined the funds.

A rep for GoFundMe tells TMZ ... "Ensuring that donors’ intentions are honored is our top priority. However, upon being informed that Mr. Amos wished to decline the funds raised on his behalf, the GoFundMe was put under review by our Trust & Safety team and then removed from our platform."

Shannon's GoFundMe reportedly brought in $13,000 from 300 people before being shuttered ... and the rep says the money is being refunded to donors.

John was hospitalized in June, but his rep told us he was never fighting for his life ... and he told us he didn't know why his daughter started crowdfunding in the first place.

Reports say Bebe needed 3 stitches to close her wound.

NYPD officers responded to the scene and arrested the alleged culprit, Nicolas Malvagna, for assault. Police noted the charge was upgraded to a felony because Malvagna used the phone as a weapon.

Chatting with her fans at her show over the weekend, Adele got super personal -- telling everyone she'd recently been diagnosed with a case of good ole fashioned jock itch.

The way Adele explains it -- she wears Spanx during her shows to make sure all of her costumes fit -- combine that with the hot lights, and it's a recipe for sweat soup. The singer says she noticed the condition developing ... and was officially diagnosed with jock itch by her doctor.

MENDES RETURNS

Shawn Mendes is dipping his foot back into the pool of live performances ... nearly a year after pulling the plug on his tour, the singer made a surprise appearance with Ed Sheeran.

Ed's own tour stopped in Shawn's native Toronto Saturday night, and fans were thrilled to see Shawn join him to duet on Ed's track, "Lego House."

SM looked totally at ease as he harmonized with Ed, and both guys played acoustic guitars. It's exactly the kinda thing Shawn's fans have been jonesin' for since last summer.

As we reported, Shawn abruptly canceled his 2022 tour last July citing post-pandemic anxiety and mental health issues.

As he put it at the time, "The reality is I was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away. After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I've never taken personally, to ground myself and come back stronger."

Shawn recently dropped a new song, "What the Hell Are We Dying For?" -- albeit with some controversy over the single's cover art -- but it's another sign the artist is poised for a full-fledged return to performing.

Quincy Jones Rushed to the Hospital ... After Bad Food Reaction

Quincy Jones suffered a medical emergency ... one serious enough that he decided he needed to be rushed to a hospital, but, luckily, it seems everything's going to be fine.

A rep for the legendary music producer tells TMZ ...  Quincy had a bad reaction to some food he ate, and out of an abundance of caution he called 911 for help.

Paramedics arrived at Quincy's L.A. home Saturday afternoon and transported him to the emergency room to get checked out.

Quincy was soon given the all-clear by doctors and released from the hospital ... his rep noted Quincy never lost consciousness and was in "great spirits" in the end.

It was a scary moment for the 28-time Grammy winner's loved ones, but, in the end, good news.

We need more of that ... especially for 90-year-old icons like Q.

Amanda Bynes Mental Health Evaluation in L.A. ... Amid Recent Troubles

Published | Updated

Amanda Bynes found herself in police custody again this weekend -- she was just thrown into handcuffs for another mental health evaluation ... this amid her ongoing struggles.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Bynes was intercepted by LAPD officers Saturday morning after a call came in for a woman who was in distress. That woman, as we've learned, is Bynes. We're told she was taken to a police station where a professional medical unit was standing by to check her out and determine if she needed further treatment.

As you can see, as part of this process ... Amanda was detained. Eyewitnesses tell us she was calm during the interaction with cops, and looked defeated as they dealt with her. We're told she was placed in the back of one of the 3 cruisers that arrived to her location.

It's unclear if Amanda was escorted out of her home, or if she was just found on the street here. We also don't know if she was ultimately taken to a hospital for a full-blown 5150 hold, or if she was released by LAPD. We're working on getting more info now.

This latest stumble follows a downward spiral the former Nick star has been on since being admitted into a mental hospital earlier this year -- this after she was found roaming the streets of DTLA completely naked, at which point she was placed on a psych hold.

Amanda has since been released from that mental health facility, but we've heard from people with direct knowledge that she hasn't been doing so great in the aftermath of that.

As we've reported ... AB has been living alone and doesn't have many people in her orbit. She tends to keep to herself, and we're told her attitude lately has been despondent. However, we do hear she's been good about taking her meds and seeing therapists.

Of course, her on-again-off-again fiance, Paul Michael, told us they split about a week before her breakdown in the spring ... and it doesn't appear they're back together at this point.

The larger backdrop to all of this is Amanda having been released from her multi-year conservatorship in 2022. Leading up to that, she appeared to be doing quite well for herself -- attending fashion school and seeming focused and relatively healthy amid a career change.

It's heartbreaking to see her going down an all-too-familiar road after all of her progress.

Ms. Jacky Oh!'s Plastic Surgeon My Practice is Safe, 'Highest Quality' ... First Post Since Her Death

Published

Ms. Jacky Oh!'s plastic surgeon Dr. Zachary Okhah is breaking his silence, and while he isn't mentioning her or her death ... he is trying to reassure clients his practice is safe and open for business.

In his text-only post Friday -- his first since Jacky's May 31 death -- Dr. Zach, as he's commonly known, says ... "To all my past, current and prospective patients, PH-1 Miami remains devoted to the highest quality medical care."

He added, "All aesthetic procedures are performed in a hygienically safe environment to universally recognized medical standards."

Dr. Zach reportedly performed a so-called "Mommy makeover" for Jacky in Miami at some point before she was found unresponsive. It's unclear how much time passed between the procedure and her death -- Dr. Zach hasn't publicly addressed her case.

A photo of Dr. Zach with Jacky had been posted on his IG on May 30, referring to her impending procedure, but it was quickly removed after she died.

Comedian and actor DC Young Fly, with whom she had 3 children, paid tribute to her in an Instagram post earlier this month, calling her the "GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW."

As we reported, DC Young Fly honored her with an elaborate and beautiful funeral service in Atlanta.

And while there's been no official linkage between Jacky's makeover and her death, Dr. Zach is doing his best to ease any fears amongst his clientele.

As he said in his post, "Our mission is to help our patients achieve the best possible results in the safest and most medically appropriate way possible."

NBA's Tony Snell Reveals Autism Diagnosis At Age 31

Published | Updated

Longtime NBA player Tony Snell is opening up on a recent health discovery ... revealing he was diagnosed with autism last year.

The 31-year-old shared the news with "Today" on Friday ... saying his son's own diagnosis gave him the courage to get checked out as well.

As it turns out, Snell says the signs were there throughout his life ... explaining he was often independent and alone, and struggled to connect with people on a personal level.

"I was not surprised because I always felt different," Snell said. "I was just relieved like, 'Oh, this is why I am the way I am.' And it just made my whole life, everything about my life make so much sense."

"It was like a clarity, like putting some 3-D glasses on."

Snell believes if he knew his diagnosis earlier, he would have not made it in the NBA ... because people would have "put a limit or cap on my abilities."

The former 20th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft has played 9 seasons in the league ... suiting up for the Bulls, Bucks, Pistons, Hawks, Trail Blazers and Pelicans.

He currently plays for the G League's Maine Celtics.

AWKWARD SITUATION

Here's the deal ... Colleen is under fire for a viral clip from one of her old comedy shows, which features her calling a young fan up to the stage for an embarrassing fart stunt.

In the resurfaced footage, Colleen spreads the young fan's legs as she lies on her back on stage ... and then a fart noise blares over the speakers.

Another advertiser, healthcare marketplace Zocdoc, says they will no longer run ads on her podcast.

John Boyega Gonna Keep Dialing Jamie Foxx ... ☎ Until He Picks Up!!!

Published | Updated

Jamie Foxx's "They Cloned Tyrone" costar John Boyega says he's desperately attempting to contact the ailing megastar -- and has been since Jamie fell ill 2 months ago -- all to no avail, but John's not a quitter!!!

John and several other cast members were feeling Jamie's absence at the 'TCT' premiere event Thursday in Miami.

John says he was hoping Jamie would be well enough to attend the Netflix film's premiere, but says he still expects a least one pick up of the phone one of these days.

'TCT' is the first of several Jaime-led films slated to drop this year, and the Academy Award-winner was actually in the middle of filming another in April when he suffered a medical emergency in Atlanta.

His family has been in his corner while he got treatment at a renowned Chicago physical rehab facility.

It's pretty clear John's also got his back -- let's hope Jamie's feeling that through all the missed calls!!! And, John ... go easy, he'll get back to you, post-recovery.
