Ice hockey star Jack Hughes turned the ice red before he turned it gold -- flashing a blood-soaked, tooth-jacked grin after burying Team USA’s crowning goal ... but one top doc says that smile might need a whole lot more than a victory lap to recover!

Dr. Jason Auerbach -- board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the New Jersey Devils -- broke it down for us on "TMZ Live" Monday, telling us the 24-year-old looks like he fractured his left front tooth, possibly shoved another out of place, and may have even rattled his upper jaw. Ouch.

Watch the clip -- the doc goes full dental dictionary on us, spelling out how Hughes is probably staring down serious restorative work, starting with a quick temporary fix while swelling peaks in the first 48 hours.

It’s been a brutal, two-week nightmare for Lindsey Vonn … and now we know just how close she came to losing her leg.

The Olympic legend revealed Monday in an Instagram video she finally made it out of the hospital after suffering what she called the “most extreme and painful and challenging injury” of her life -- “times a hundred” -- following her crash at the games.

Vonn didn’t hold back on the gruesome details … explaining she shattered her tibia, fractured her fibular head and tibial plateau -- saying “everything was in pieces.” But the real danger came from compartment syndrome, a condition where swelling and trapped blood can crush muscle, nerves and tissue.

Hollywood continues to rally around Eric Dane's family in a major way following his death and Hailey Bieber just made one of the biggest moves.

Hailey isn't the only high-profile name stepping up financially. Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, donated $10K. Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary contributed $5K, while Disney president Dana Walden also gave $5K. Producer Randall Emmett, known for his past relationship with Lala Kent, matched Falchuk with a $10K donation.

The husband of the "American Horror Story" actress shared the news Friday in a lengthy Instagram post, writing, “Things I never thought I’d have to post: I was diagnosed with Stage I Papillary Thyroid cancer.”

He included hospital bed selfies with Sidibe smiling by his side. According to Frankel, doctors caught the cancer early, but only because he insisted on getting an ultrasound ... which his doctor initially didn’t think he needed.

Barry Manilow is rushing back to the stage after undergoing surgery for lung cancer but he says his doctor is advising him to reschedule his first batch of scheduled arena shows.

The singer posted the health update on Friday and said he's just not able to make it through a 90-minute concert at this time ... and is rescheduling all his shows scheduled between Feb. 27 and March 17.

Barry went under the knife a little over a month ago, and he says he's been running on the treadmill three times a day. He says he can sing only three songs before needing to stop.

Snooki said she’d been dealing with abnormal Pap smears for years, but stayed on top of her screenings -- and urged fans to do the same, stressing Pap tests can detect abnormal cells before they turn cancerous.

Miss J Alexander’s health battle has been devastating to watch -- especially after opening up in the new "America’s Next Top Model" doc -- and now he needs public support to help cover the crushing cost of recovery.

Miss J’s close friend and talent manager, Steven Grossman, has launched a GoFundMe to help pay for ongoing treatment, specialized care, rehab services, and daily living support -- all stemming from the debilitating stroke Miss J suffered back in 2022.

Eric Dane's death is spurring people to action ... encouraging many to support researchers looking to cure ALS.

A spokesperson for the ALS Association -- a leader in the fight against the vicious disease -- tells TMZ ... the website's seen a 100% rise in website traffic since Dane passed away yesterday, as well as a 200% rise in donations.

We're told many of the donations are for small amounts ... coming from new donors around the country.

Jake Paul and his fiancée Jutta Leerdam didn't get much time to celebrate her gold and silver Olympic medals after touching back down in the United States ... 'cause the Problem Child was forced to undergo another surgery on his jaw following his brutal knockout loss to Anthony Joshua.

Paul shared the news on Instagram, explaining he was put under the knife after "the screws and plates were coming loose because apparently I didn’t rest for the past 2 months."

JP wasn't alone as he made his way around the hospital halls, as Leerdam was by his side after the procedure.

Jake also included some crazy AI videos with the post.

The injury will certainly push back any potential return plans for Paul ... who will be looking to bounce back after just his second loss as a pro.

The 29-year-old had his first surgery on Dec. 20 ... the day after his bout against Joshua, when he required two titanium plates inserted around his jaw. It also cost him a couple of teeth.

The serious injury didn't slow Paul down ... we spotted him at a post-fight party thrown by Celebrity Sports Entertainment at a private mansion in Miami, though Paul understandably wasn't doing a lot of talking.

Quinton Aaron's split is getting messier ... because he's convinced his "spiritual wife" Margarita Aaron tried to kill him ... though she claims he's full of it.

We received a statement from "The Blind Side" actor Thursday ... and, he explains to us Margarita lied to him by not admitting she's legally married to someone else.

Quinton's convinced Margarita "was trying to take [him] out" ... adding he feels Margarita is Satanic. He's made it clear “publicly, to family, close friends and the hospital staff that [he doesn't] want to see her or talk to her.” Instead, he plans to focus on his recovery, faith, family and career moving forward.

Ray J's heart monitor has been stolen ... and he's pleading with the thief to give it back.

TMZ caught up with the "Sexy Can I" singer this week -- less than 2 months after he was hospitalized -- and he tells us he's been wearing a heart monitor for the last 2 weeks so docs can keep track of his health. But ... he says a fan snatched the monitor off his bare chest when he hopped into the crowd during his Valentine's Day concert in Shreveport, Louisiana while singing "One Wish."

It's all in the clip -- Ray J says his monitor has important health data his doctors need in order to make a plan for him going forward ... and is even offering cash to the person who has it. He presses that this is no joke and he was wearing it during a "critical" time.

We told you all about it -- Ray J was hospitalized in Vegas in early January and was treated for pneumonia and serious chest pains. He later revealed his docs told him he might not live past 2027.

She believes every aspect of Michael's life was negatively impacted on that fateful day ... telling us it was a heartbreaking, sad and horrible moment in Michael's life.

Quinton Aaron is well on the road to recovery and looking great ... according to this first photo of the actor since he was hospitalized for a spinal stroke last month.

Check out the pic, provided by Quinton to us ... we're told it was taken last week, and as you can see, the 'Blind Side' star is in great spirits -- throwing up a peace sign while hanging with his younger brother, Jarred.

We’re told Jarred has not left Quinton’s bedside, and the bond between the two remains strong.

The release of this photo follows news of Jarred's restraining order against Margarita Aaron -- the woman who allegedly misrepresented herself as Quinton's wife to both Quinton and the medical staff tending to him.

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans this week on two counts of simple battery charges ... and TMZ has learned some colleagues were concerned about him while shooting his latest film.

James Van Der Beek was working right up until the end ... and now fans are getting a chilling first look at his final film role, with the former teen heartthrob stepping into seriously sinister territory.

James fully leaned into the darkness, delivering a spine-tingling performance that fans can catch when "The Gates" hits theaters March 13.
