Justin told People he "could tell she was struggling," adding ... "I was like, 'I don't think it's this movie' ... There's a handful of women that I've worked with that I really liked, and I really loved working with her, but I also know that she was really lonely."

Dolly Parton was forced to miss a major event at her beloved Dollywood theme park this week after her doctor advised her to stay in Nashville amid ongoing health issues.

Dolly -- who appeared on screen wearing fairy wings -- joked that her Nashville doctor had "clipped my wings" and told her she shouldn’t travel this week ... adding she wanted to keep fans informed about what she’s going through.

Dr. Terry Dubrow has a whole different kind of "Botched" situation on his hands ... cybercriminals breached his plastic surgery practice and accessed sensitive patient information.

He says he spent a tremendous amount of money and resources protecting his patients' data -- and stresses there's no evidence any of it has been misused or shared.

Perez Hilton was treated for an overdose following an alarming TikTok live stream earlier this month, according to a Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office incident report, obtained by TMZ.

As we reported, the internet personality -- legal name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. -- was taken to a Miami-area hospital on August 4, after authorities responded to reports of a possible suicide attempt at his home.

According to the police report, fire rescue personnel treated Perez at the scene for multiple injuries and an overdose before he was transported to the hospital.

Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris briefly woke from an induced coma and asked to leave the hospital ... but doctors were forced to sedate him again after his blood pressure rose and he struggled to breathe.

Doctors placed Paris in an induced coma after he arrived at the hospital from his medical emergency last week so they could provide critical care ... according to an update from a Facebook page created by Verdine White's wife, Shelly.

At one point, Paris opened his eyes, looked around, and asked for his wife, musician Kathy Merrick. Once he saw her, he turned to a close friend named Eddie and joked, "Get me outta here."

The emotional breakthrough brought tears, laughter, and renewed hope to those at his bedside ... but it was short-lived.

Perez Hilton's kids were already aware of his mental health struggles before his disturbing live stream meltdown ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Perez's three kids are old enough to understand his mental health challenges, which had been explained to them before last week's crisis.

We're told the children have been in the house during previous emotional moments when Perez went live on social media and opened up to his followers about his struggles.

So, while last week's incident was far more serious, seeing their father become emotional online was not entirely new to them.
