If you remember, we caught up with BigX on the cusp of "Take Care's" release last year when he revealed Wallo267 of the Million Dollarz Worth of Game podcast was his lone guest appearance ... which was more of a spoken word interlude.

Public service announcement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz ... walking outside in the sun for 15 minutes a day boosts our health and overall wellbeing -- and they say it could save the country billions of dollars!!!

They say all it takes to transform our health, mood and connection to our fellow Americans is 15 minutes of walking under the sun ... looking into the camera and saying, "Sunlight is medicine," as corny music plays in the background.

Wendy Williams' guardian is trying to shut down A&E's attempt to depose her early ... arguing issues need to be resolved in guardianship court before they do anything in the civil suit.

Sabrina E. Morrissey made the request in documents filed Wednesday ... basically arguing she could be stuck between a rock and hard place if the judge in the civil case orders something that runs in contradiction to an order by the judge in the guardianship case.

For example, Morrissey argues, the civil judge could decide on certain deposition conditions that the guardianship judge isn't cool with ... and, then she won't know what the heck to do.

Ganga placed the words "Did We Win?" on the NFLer's neck to signify the question Hamlin asked docs when he regained consciousness. On one of the football player's shoulders, the artist etched Bo Jackson's tweet that answered Hamlin's inquiry.

Wendy Williams' lawyer is challenging the alleged test results that reportedly prove she has dementia and aphasia ... insisting those spreading the claim are acting out of self-interest.

Joe Tacopina tells TMZ ... Wendy's leaked medical diagnosis is "false" -- and, it's "being spread by a party with a vested interest in keeping Wendy trapped under this excessive and restrictive guardianship."

He adds the leaking of the alleged diagnosis is a total violation of Wendy's rights as a human being.

Wendy Williams took a series of cognitive tests this week ... and, a new report states that the results back up her original diagnosis.

The former talk show host's official test results have not been released ... but, People reports Wendy was again diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. She was first diagnosed with both diseases in 2023.

Jones told the outlet he immediately turned to the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for treatment ... and a short time later, he began PD-1 therapy to get healthy.

Wendy Williams' medical evaluation is complete -- but her court-appointed guardian Sabrina E. Morrissey is asking to pause the ongoing litigation with A&E over their 2024 documentary to let the guardianship court make a call on whether, or how, the guardianship will continue.

In an August 5 filing, obtained by TMZ ... Morrissey says the evaluation is complete and "medical specialists have formed an opinion concerning [Wendy's] current neurological condition and diagnosis, including whether she has the ability to make decisions" about the A&E litigation over the network's doc, "Where Is Wendy Williams?"

Morrissey says the opinion was cemented following a significant number of medical and neuropsychological test and scans, which included brain imaging.
