Matthew Perry's character, Chandler Bing, on "Friends," almost had a scandal on his hands by cheating on Monica ... but we're told the actor got the whole idea scrapped.

We spoke with Lisa Cash, who appeared in the 1999 episode from season 5, "The One in Vegas: Part 1" -- telling us she got the gig as an extra, but her role on the episode was originally a lot more controversial ... or it would have been if Matthew didn't speak up.

She tells TMZ ... the OG scene revolved around Monica -- played by Courteney Cox -- getting into a heated argument with Chandler, with Lisa's character eventually bringing up room service to his hotel room in Vegas.

Apparently, Chandler and Lisa's character hit it off after his big fight with Monica -- going so far as to actually cheat on her with the hotel staffer.

If you watched the show, you know that's something fans would NEVER forgive Chandler for, and that's exactly what Matthew thought. Lisa says after rehearsing the scene, he went to the writers and told them to axe it.

Lisa knew having a costarring role with Matthew Perry would have been a game changer for her career, but thinks it was ultimately a good move and could have changed the course of the show.

While the whole plot got nixed, Lisa ended up staying in the episode as a flight attendant in Ross and Rachel's scene.

Damar Hamlin made his first return to Paycor Stadium since suffering cardiac arrest back in January ... and the Buffalo Bills safety was visibly emotional as he reflected on his journey in a postgame moment on the field.

25-year-old Hamlin -- a healthy scratch from the Bills' 24-18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals -- made his way onto the field after Sunday's matchup ... crouching down near the spot he collapsed and needed resuscitating last season.

"Head Clear. Blessed & Highly Favored. Thank You," Hamlin said on social media alongside a short clip of his time on the grass.

It was a special night for Hamlin -- he also embraced several Bengals players before the game ... smiling from ear-to-ear as he dapped them up.

"Tonight was everything for me," Hamlin said on X. "Y'all don’t know the half of it. Trust me."

Hamlin also took his return as an opportunity to do something really special -- announcing scholarships named after the 10 medical professionals who brought him back to life ... and enjoying a dinner with the heroes over the weekend.

C-Knight -- an original member of rap group The Dove Shack -- is fighting for his life, with his loved ones waiting on some key tests before any next steps ... TMZ has learned.

The MC's father, George Lee Washington Blount Jr., tells us his son was hospitalized on Oct. 18 as a result of a scary blood sugar level -- which we're told stems from his diabetes. Blount says that while C-Knight was receiving dialysis, he somehow suffered a stroke.

In addition to that, we're told C-Knight went into cardiac arrest ... and that his heart stopped, with him needing to be resuscitated by doctors. At that point, Blount says C-Knight was placed on life support -- but Blount says even more health issues surfaced amid all this.

Since the stroke and cardiac arrest ... we're told C-Knight has been in an unresponsive state, and that the medical staff has told the family there's no signs of progress they're detecting.

As for where things stand now ... Blount tells us they're waiting on a crucial MRI scan to be done, which will tell if them if there's any notable brain activity. We're told the family believes he can battle back and recover from this ... despite how grim it looks at the moment.

In the case that the scan shows no brain activity -- which is the worst case scenario -- we're told his family plans to keep him on life support for the time being ... and will weigh their options. For the time being, they're praying for a miracle, hopeful he can pull through.

The Dove Shack only released 2 albums, but they're both memorable ... especially for their impact on the West Coast G-Funk movement in the '90s, which was spearheaded by Snoop Dogg and Warren G -- both of whom are familiar with these guys, and friendly with them.

The other members, 2Scoops and Bo-Roc, are obviously tight with C-Knight -- and Bo called for everyone to send their thoughts and well-wishes his way as CK tries to bounce back.

La madre de Ray J, Sonja Norwood, se está recuperando de una mala reacción a algo que es, en general, algo saludable. Un error al realizar un tratamiento llamado IV en casa se convirtió en una situación de emergencia, TMZ ha indagado.

El drama se desarrolló cuando Sonja comenzó a sentirse mareada después del tratamiento IV, que está destinado a entregar las vitaminas esenciales y nutrientes directamente al torrente sanguíneo.

Es una tendencia de salud y bienestar popularizada por las celebridades en los últimos años y, hace unas semanas, Sonja decidió entrar en la acción.

Por desgracia, nos informan que Sonja tuvo que recostarse debido a que su respiración se aceleró repentinamente. Su familia llamó a una ambulancia por la preocupación.

La revisaron en el hospital y finalmente se recuperó.

La terapia intravenosa que recibió fue una mezcla de vitaminas C y B, así como calcio y magnesio. Se supone que esto se hace para estimular el sistema inmunológico de un paciente, pero los efectos secundarios pueden incluir infecciones, erupciones cutáneas, coágulos de sangre, embolia gaseosa entre otras dolencias.

Ray J's mom, Sonja Norwood, is recovering from a bad reaction to something that's, generally speaking, good for you -- a home IV drip that turned into an emergency situation ... TMZ has learned.

The health drama unfolded when Sonja began feeling light-headed after the IV treatment ... which is meant to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream.

It's a health and wellness trend popularized by celebs in recent years, and a few weeks ago ... Sonja decided to get in on the action.

Unfortunately, we're told there was no wellness involved that day ... as Sonja had to lie down due to sudden rapid breathing, which prompted her family, including Ray, to call an ambulance out of concern.

She got checked out at the hospital and, eventually, she was okay.

The IV therapy she got was a mix of C and B vitamins, as well as calcium and magnesium. It's meant to boost a patient's immune system, but side effects can include infection, rashes, blood clots, air embolism and more.

1:54 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained some video of Katy Perry's last residency show in Vegas -- and it looks like the stars on hand, including Celine Dion, were busting a move and having a blast.

Check out this footage that shows the celebs who attended boogying down throughout the concert -- you can see Celine Dion bobbing to the music as Katy did her thing ... plus, Cameron Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, were right behind getting their groove as well. So was Zoe Saldana, BTW -- so yeah, it was a packed house, and star-studded to the max.

As for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ... we're told they were also seated in the VIP section, but they were in a group of seats that were adjacent to Celine and co., so not really with them.

Their night seemed to be a little more low-key ... with Meghan chatting up a woman she was sitting next to, and PH just kinda sitting there minding his own biz, somewhat aloof. Even when they were seen standing up with the others ... the couple just sorta stood there. 😅

Anyhoo, one other notable sighting ... Katy's fiancé, Orlando Bloom, was obviously in the crowd and he had their daughter perched up on his shoulders and Katy explained how much their child means to her. He also danced with their little girl, Daisy Dove, while mom was onstage.

After the show, Katy and Orlando broke off from everyone else and hit up XS Nightclub at the Wynn and celebrated her last bow with The Chainsmokers. Cool way to go out, no doubt.

Celine Dion is definitely on the comeback trail ... she made her second public appearance in a week at Katy Perry's concert last evening -- and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also in the crowd!!!

Celine and her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, dropped in to catch Katy's performance at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas Saturday night -- and she looked absolutely spectacular.

This is great news given her health struggles. As you know, Celine has long been dealing with a debilitating disease called stiff-person syndrome, which causes painful muscle spasms.

On Monday, the iconic singer was seen out for the first time in 3 ½ years, showing up at the T-Mobile Arena for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and her hometown Montreal Canadiens.

As for Harry and Meghan, the couple arrived apart from Celine and her sons to Katy's concert Saturday. They quickly became the center of attention as fans shot cell phone videos of them.

At one point, Harry and Meghan were pictured near Celine, but it's not clear if they ever got to talk to one another.

Interesting photo, nonetheless. And, it seems like everyone had a terrific time, including Katy’s fiancée, actor Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy Dove.

¡Celine Dion está de regreso! La cantante hizo su segunda aparición pública en una semana en el concierto de Katy Perry anoche. El príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle también estuvieron en la multitud.

Celine y sus hijos gemelos, Eddy y Nelson, se dejaron caer para ver la actuación de Katy en el Resorts World Theatre en Las Vegas el sábado por la noche y ella se veía absolutamente espectacular.

Esta es una gran noticia teniendo en cuenta sus problemas de salud. Como ustedes saben, Celine ha estado luchando durante mucho tiempo con una enfermedad debilitante llamada síndrome de la persona rígida, que causa espasmos musculares dolorosos.

El lunes, la icónica cantante fue vista por primera vez en tres años y medio, apareciendo en el T-Mobile Arena para un partido de hockey entre los Vegas Golden Knights y su ciudad natal Montreal Canadiens.

En cuanto a Harry y Meghan, la pareja llegó aparte de Celine y sus hijos al concierto de Katy el sábado. Rápidamente se convirtieron en el centro de atención ya que los fans les grabaron vídeos con sus teléfonos móviles.

En un momento dado, Harry y Meghan fueron fotografiados cerca de Celine, pero no está claro si llegaron a hablar entre ellos.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former boxing champ and son of one of Mexico's greatest-ever athletes, was recently treated at a psych hospital after his wife told police he consumed dozens of pills, and she was scared for his safety.

Sources tell TMZ Sports 37-year-old Chavez Jr.'s wife, Frida Chavez, contacted police in the Hollywood area on October 24 ... after she became worried about her hubby's health.

Frida -- who was previously married to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's late son, Edgar Guzman Lopez -- told cops she believed Julio ingested a large amount of potent and potentially dangerous medication ... and wanted medics to check him out.

Rescuers were dispatched and were able to contact Chavez Jr.

It's unclear exactly what happened, but Julio wasn't permitted to leave after officials determined Chavez Jr. needed to go to a psychiatric facility for treatment, known as a 5150 in California.

The law allows certain officials (police officers, doctors, etc.), should they believe someone to be "a danger to others, or to themselves, or gravely disabled" to be held for up to 72 hours "for assessment, evaluation, and crisis intervention."

Chavez Jr.'s family is clearly concerned for his health. In fact, his dad, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., recently expressed fear for his son's well-being during a podcast appearance.

"I feel sorry for him, because his children are little and he's not enjoying them. It hurts me that he's going to go crazy, that he's going to have an accident driving at 12-1 in the morning at full speed, that he's going to have a heart attack from all the pills he takes," Chavez Sr. said on the Bromeando con los Rivera show.

Speaking of Sr., while Chavez Jr. never reached the athletic heights of his legendary father, he was still an accomplished boxer, holding the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and 2012.

Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil is on the mend after a very risky surgical procedure ... and she's gearing up to get back on the campaign trail as she runs for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida.

Tan Mom's campaign manager, Adam Barta tells TMZ ... she was admitted to a hospital in Boca Raton last Monday for bypass surgery to remove the stent separating her pancreas and liver.

We're told Tan Mom previously had the stent inserted because of her pancreatitis, and when doctors removed it this time, her organs had major swelling and caused her a ton of pain.

What's more, we're told doctors discovered gallstones stuck by her liver during the surgery ... and she's going to have to go back under the knife in the future to address the issue.

Tan Mom's camp characterized the procedure as "very risky" for her ... and we're told she's recovering at home and recently regained her ability to walk.

We're told Tan Mom's hoping next week she'll be feeling well enough to make her scheduled campaign stops as she runs for one of Florida's seats in the U.S. Senate. She's filming a new campaign video next week with Dr. Miami, who did her makeover in her reality series, "Tan to 10."

Michael J. Fox's health problems are no secret to the world -- but they're far more dire than just about anyone could've imagined ... 'cause the guy nearly became an amputee.

The beloved actor got into the full extent of his medical hurdles with Town & Country, opening up about just how banged up he's been in recent years ... and revealing that he practically had to have a part of his body surgically removed.

MJF says, "My hand got infected and then I almost lost it. It was a tsunami of misfortune."

The context here is Mike discussing all the injuries he's sustained of late -- including breaking two of his arms, a shoulder, his orbital/cheekbone and one of his hands ... which somehow led to a far more dire diagnosis, albeit ... one that thankfully never fully manifested.

On top of these dings, Michael also underwent surgery in 2018 to have a spinal tumor removed -- which was unrelated to his Parkinson's disease. While rehabbing from that, he suffered a nasty fall ... and says he broke his other arm in the process.

In this T&C interview, he continues to reflect on his mortality -- just like he did earlier this year with CBS ... where he said he didn't see himself living past 80.

Here, Mike says ... "One day I’ll run out of gas ... Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn’t be unheard of. And so, no, I don’t fear that."

Los problemas de salud de Michael J. Fox no son ningún secreto para el mundo, pero son mucho más graves de lo que cualquiera podría haberse imaginado.

El querido actor abordó extensamente sus problemas médicos con Town & Country, abriéndose sobre lo golpeado que ha estado en los últimos años y revelando que casi tuvo que se amputado.

El actor dijo: "Mi mano se infectó y casi la pierdo. Fue un tsunami de desgracias".

Mike estaba hablando sobre todas las lesiones que ha sufrido en el último tiempo, incluyendo la rotura de dos de sus brazos, un hombro, su orbital/pómulo y una de sus manos, lo que de algún modo condujo a un diagnóstico mucho más grave, aunque afortunadamente nunca se manifestó plenamente.

Además de estos golpes, Michael también se sometió a una cirugía en 2018 para que le extirparan un tumor espinal, que no estaba relacionado con su enfermedad de Parkinson. Mientras se rehabilitaba de eso, sufrió una fea caída y dice que se rompió el otro brazo en el proceso.

En esta entrevista, el actor también reflexiona sobre la muerte, al igual que lo hizo a principios de este año con la CBS en donde dijo que no se veía a sí mismo viviendo más allá de los 80 años.

Aquí, Mike dice ... "Un día me voy a quedar sin gas ... Ciertamente, si yo fuera a morir mañana, sería prematuro, pero no sería inaudito. Así que no, no temo eso".

This never happened coding ... Mark Zuckerberg tore his ACL training MMA, and was forced to go under the knife, delaying a real deal fight Zuck had scheduled for early next year!

The Facebook founder shared several photos from his hospital bed Friday afternoon ... announcing he's suffered a serious injury to his left leg.

"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it. Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support," 39-year-old Zuck wrote on Instagram.

The bit about the upcoming fight is news, too. No one ever publicly announced Mark scheduled a mixed martial arts bout.

A bunch of MMA stars wished Zuck well after hearing about his injury, including former UFC champ-champ Henry Cejudo, who wrote ...  "Speedy recovery Mark! 🙏"

Through training, Zuckerberg has befriended many of the world's top fighters like Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski.

FYI, the ACL, or the anterior cruciate ligament, is a band of tissue that connects your thigh and shinbones together and is a common injury among athletes.

Of course, Zuckerberg and Elon Musk spent months negotiating terms for an MMA fight, though it never came to fruition. The billionaires blamed each other for the breakdown.

Earlier this week Musk went on Joe Rogan's podcast and again reiterated that he would fight Zuckerberg "anytime, anywhere, any place."

ACL recovery typically takes around 9 months, give or take, to return to competition post-surgery.

Until then, Mark's likely not fighting anyone.

Arnold Schwarzenegger está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por una ciclista a la que accidentalmente golpeó con su carro, y ella está apelando a sus habilidades de conducción, o más bien, a la supuesta falta de ella.

De acuerdo con la nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joanne Flickinger afirma que es la ciclista a quien Schwarzenegger chocó con su SUV en febrero en una concurrida calle de West Los Ángeles.

En los documentos, Flickinger afirma que Arnold es responsable. Dice que estaba conduciendo "a exceso de velocidad" y falló en mantener una "visión adecuada". También afirma que la colisión del actor le causó lesiones graves.

TMZ publicó la historia, Arnold estuvo involucrado en un accidente de tráfico con una mujer que fue trasladada a un hospital. Se nos dice que tomó la bicicleta de la señora, la ató a su SUV y la llevó a un taller de bicicletas local para su reparación.

En ese momento, nuestras fuentes policiales nos dijeron que la mujer hizo un giro a la izquierda delante de Arnold, antes de que él tuviera la oportunidad de pisar el freno. También dijeron que no iba muy rápido en absoluto.

Obviamente, la ciclista ve las cosas de manera diferente, y va tras de Arnold por dinero.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's getting dragged to court by the cyclist he accidentally hit with his car, and she's ripping his driving skills ... or the alleged lack thereof.

According to the new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Joanne Flickinger claims she's the bicyclist who collided with Arnold's SUV back in February on a busy West L.A. street.

In the docs, Flickinger claims Arnold is at fault ... she says he was driving "with excessive speed and failed to keep a proper lookout." She also claims the collision caused her severe injuries.

TMZ broke the story ... Arnold was involved in a traffic accident with a woman on a bike, and she was transported to a hospital. We're told he took the lady's bike, attached it to his SUV and took it to a local bike shop for repairs.

At the time, our law enforcement sources told us the woman made a left turn in front of Arnold before he had a chance to hit his brakes and he was not going very fast at all.

Obviously, the bicyclist sees things differently ... and she's going after Arnold for money.

There is growing evidence Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are welcoming their son Rocky into the world ... although we don't know for certain she's had the baby, we'll lay out what we do know, and the biggest clue involves Travis Barker and Kylie Jenner.

This past Monday, we began receiving tips Kourtney showed up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. On the one hand, lots of people know the Kardashians typically give birth at that hospital, so it's not automatically a lock the tips are accurate.

But then, we've been in touch with various people in the Kardashian orbit, and they have been unusually sketchy on the subject. The only clear fact we confirmed is that her due date was this week. One source said labor would be induced.

And that brings us to the next clue ... Travis and Kourtney have said they wanted the baby to be born on Halloween, which was this past Tuesday. If this was an induced birth and she was due this week, that kinda makes sense.

And now, the kickers ... Check out the photo of Travis Barker's reflection from the side mirror as he pulled into Cedars Thursday afternoon.

And then there's a photo of Kylie Jenner's Range Rover pulling into Cedars Thursday around 3:30 PM. Witnesses eyeballed her as she entered the facility.

All in all, our money is on Kourtney gave birth this week.

Cada vez hay más pruebas de que Kourtney Kardashian y Travis Barker están dando la bienvenida al mundo a su hijo Rocky, aunque no sabemos con certeza si tuvo al bebé, vamos a exponer lo que sí sabemos, y la mayor pista implica a Travis Barker y Kylie Jenner.

El pasado lunes, empezamos a recibir pistas de que Kourtney se presentó en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center en Los Ángeles. Primero que todo, muchos saben que las Kardashians suelen dar a luz en ese hospital, aunque eso no implica que siempre sea así.

Además de eso, hemos estado en contacto con varias personas de la órbita Kardashian, quienes han sido inusualmente escuetos sobre el tema. El único hecho que confirmamos es que su fecha de parto era esta semana. Una fuente dijo que el parto sería inducido.

Y eso nos lleva a la siguiente pista... Travis y Kourtney han dicho que querían que el bebé naciera en Halloween, que fue este martes pasado. Si se trata de un parto inducido, que estaba previsto para esta semana, tiene un poco de sentido.

Y ahora, las mayores pistas... Echa un vistazo a la foto de Travis Barker desde el espejo lateral cuando se detuvo en Cedars el jueves por la tarde, donde se lo ve muy reflexivo.

Y luego está la foto del Range Rover de Kylie Jenner entrando al Cedars el jueves alrededor de las 3:30 PM. Los testigos la vieron mientras estaba entrando en las instalaciones.

En definitiva, apostamos a que Kourtney dio a luz esta semana.
