Here's an uplifting sign of just how good Celine Dion's feeling these days -- not only did she make a surprise appearance onstage at the Grammys, but backstage she gave an impromptu performance!

The icon showed off her famous vocal chops alongside Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sonyaé in a clip filmed backstage Sunday night at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena -- proving she's still got it amid her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome, which makes performing difficult due to painful muscle stiffness and spasms.

Celine was effortlessly smooth in her delivery while groovin' along with Sonyaé ... this marking the first time she's sung publicly in 4 years, making the moment all the more special.

Sonyaé shared the IG clip ... rightly captioning it as one of her most iconic moments from the evening, which went down a treat with her followers.

It was a big night for Celine ... who was met with a standing O while presenting the Album of the Year Award -- her industry peers were clearly thrilled to see the hitmaker out, who has mostly been staying out of the spotlight since announcing her rare neurological syndrome.

Although she looked and sounded amazing, sources with direct knowledge tell us the sad reality for Celine is that she still struggles physically many days. In December, her sister said Celine remained focused on her desire to return to the stage.

That explains the joy on Celine's face Sunday night ... as she put it before presenting the Album of the Year, "When I say I am happy to be here, I really mean it. From my heart."

Of course, that heartwarming moment turned awkward moments later when Taylor Swift bizarrely ignored her as she rushed onstage to collect her award.

However, no one dares disrespect the Queen of power ballads, not even Tay Tay herself.

Estas sí que son alentadoras señales de lo que bien que se está sintiendo Celine Dion por estos días: no solo hizo una aparición sorpresa en el escenario de los Grammy, sino que también ofreció una improvisada actuación tras bambalinas.

El icono musical mostró sus habilidades vocales junto a la compositora nominada al Grammy Sonyaé en un clip filmado el domingo en el Crypto.com Arena de Los Ángeles, demostrando que aún lo tiene en medio de su batalla contra el Síndrome de Persona Rígida, que hace que la actuación sea difícil debido a la dolorosa rigidez muscular y sus espasmos.

Celine cantó de manera relajada y casi sin esfuerzo junto a Sonyaé, en la primera vez que la vemos cantar en público en 4 años, haciendo aún más especial el momento.

Sonyaé compartió el clip en Instagram, el que subtituló como uno de sus momentos más emblemáticos de la noche, lo que le encantó a sus seguidores.

Fue una gran noche para Celine, quien fue recibida con una ovación de pie al presentar el Premio al Álbum del Año. Sus compañeros de la industria estaban claramente encantados de ver a la estrella, quien se ha mantenido principalmente fuera de los focos desde que anunció su inusual síndrome neurológico.

Aunque parecía y sonaba increíble, fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que la triste realidad para Celine es que aún lucha físicamente muchos días. En diciembre, su hermana dijo que la cantante seguía centrada en su deseo de volver a los escenarios.

Eso explica la alegría en la cara de Celine el domingo. Antes de presentar el Álbum del Año, esta dijo: "Cuando digo que estoy feliz de estar aquí, lo digo en serio. De corazón".

Por supuesto, el conmovedor momento se volvió algo incómodo momentos más tarde, cuando Taylor Swift bizarramente la ignoró mientras recogía su premio.

Sin embargo, nadie se atreve a faltarle el respeto a la reina de las baladas, ni siquiera la propia Tay Tay.

Kumail Nanjiani says that movie critics were so harsh on his Marvel movie from a few years ago that he thought it'd be best to get on the couch and see a shrink about it ... yep.

The actor -- who played one of the leads in 2021's "Eternals" -- told the tale on the "Inside of You" podcast with Michael Rosenbaum ... where he explained that the work he put into it didn't match the reaction, at least in his eyes.

KN said the reviews were terrible, and he was a little too aware of it -- going on to explain that he was reading each think piece about his movie, which apparently bothered him a lot.

He also notes that it was affecting his home life, adding ... "It was really hard, and that was when I thought it was unfair to me and unfair to [my wife] Emily, and I can’t approach my work this way anymore. Some s*** has to change, so I started counseling. I still talk to my therapist about that."

Even now, Kumail thinks he's still suffering from the experience -- saying ... "Emily says that I do have trauma from it. We actually just got dinner with somebody else from that movie and we were like, 'That was tough, wasn’t it?’ and he’s like ‘Yeah, that was really tough.'

A baby delivered at a hospital last year was somehow decapitated during birth -- something officials are now calling a homicide.

The mother in this tragic case -- 20-year-old Jessica Ross -- says she was rushed to Southern Regional Medical Center in Clayton County, GA, back in July after her water broke ... after which, she went into a lengthy labor.

Ross says her baby boy, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., became stuck 10 hours into her attempts to push him out -- and she has since claimed the doctor working on her tried to pull the baby out of her birth canal, allegedly using so much force his head detached from his body.

The mother claims the bones in her baby's skull, head and neck were broken by the doctor manipulating the infant's body way too hard ... which literally left the infant separated at the head and torso. When they did a C-section, the family claims the medical staff was able to pull the body out of the mother's stomach ... the head was still lodged in the birth canal.

The family has also alleged that the mother then had to deliver the baby's head vaginally -- just an absolutely awful thing as described in a lawsuit they subsequently filed. What's more, the family alleges the hospital tried to cover up the baby's decapitation ... allegedly wrapping their dead child in a blanket so as not to show his severed head.

On Tuesday, the Clayton County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a homicide and said the baby died from "fracture-dislocation" in his spinal cord and upper cervical spine.

The family is now going after the hospital, doctors and nurses involved in the delivery ... suing for wrongful death and medical negligence.

Meanwhile, the Clayton County Police Department says it's launching a criminal investigation.

In a statement, the hospital says the baby died "in utero prior to the delivery and decapitation."

Kumail Nanjiani dice que los críticos de cine fueron tan duros con su película de Marvel de hace unos años que pensó que lo mejor sería ver a un psiquiatra.

El actor que interpretó a uno de los protagonistas de "Eternals" de 2021, contó la historia en el pódcast "Inside of You" con Michael Rosenbaum, donde explicó que el trabajo que puso en el filme no se condice con la reacción de la gente.

Kumai dijo que las críticas eran terribles y él era demasiado consciente de ello, pasando a explicar que estaba leyendo cada artículo de opinión acerca de su película, lo que al parecer lo molestó mucho.

También señala que estaba afectando a su vida familiar, añadiendo: "Fue muy duro, y fue entonces cuando pensé que era injusto para mí y para Emily [(su mujer), y que ya no podía enfocar mi trabajo de esta manera. Algunas cosas tienen que cambiar, así que empecé a ir a terapia. Todavía hablo con mi terapeuta sobre esto".

Incluso ahora, Kumail cree que todavía está sufriendo por la experiencia, diciendo: "Emily dice que sí tengo un trauma por ello. De hecho, acabamos de cenar con otra persona involucrada en esa película y estábamos como, "Eso fue duro, ¿no?" Y él dijo: "Sí, eso fue muy duro".

Un bebé nacido en un hospital el año pasado fue decapitado durante el parto, algo que las autoridades califican ahora como homicidio.

La madre en este trágico caso -Jessica Ross de 20 años de edad- dice que fue trasladada de urgencia al Centro Médico Regional del Sur en el condado de Clayton en julio, cuando su fuente se rompió y tuvo que hacer trabajo de parto.

Ross dice que su bebé, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., se quedó atascado 10 horas después de sus intentos de sacarlo. Afirma que el médico trató de sacar al bebé de su canal de parto, supuestamente usando tanta fuerza que su cabeza se separó de su cuerpo.

La madre afirma que el médico le rompió los huesos del cráneo, la cabeza y el cuello al manipular el cuerpo del bebé con demasiada fuerza, y que literalmente le separó la cabeza del torso. Cuando le hicieron la cesárea, la familia afirma que el personal médico pudo sacar el cuerpo del estómago de la madre, pero la cabeza seguía alojada en el canal del parto.

La familia también ha alegado que la madre entonces tuvo que entregar la cabeza del bebé por vía vaginal, una cosa absolutamente horrible como se describe en una demanda que presentaron posteriormente. Lo que es más, la familia alega que el hospital trató de encubrir la decapitación del bebé, supuestamente envolviendo a su hijo muerto en una manta para no mostrar su cabeza cortada.

El martes, la Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Clayton dictaminó la muerte como un homicidio y dijo que el bebé murió de "fractura-dislocación" en su médula espinal y la columna cervical superior.

La familia va ahora por el hospital, los médicos y las enfermeras que participaron en el parto. Todos han sido demandados por homicidio culposo y negligencia médica.

Mientras tanto, el Departamento de Policía del Condado de Clayton dice que está iniciando una investigación criminal.

En un comunicado, el hospital dice que el bebé murió "en el útero antes de la entrega y la decapitación".

Jim Irsay says he's getting over his recent health issues ... revealing Tuesday he's officially "on the mend."

The Indianapolis Colts owner suffered multiple medical scares in the last few months -- including a suspected overdose at his Indiana home followed by a respiratory ailment -- but, thankfully, he said on his X page he's now doing better.

He told his fans he appreciated all of their support as he went through his recovery process ... writing, "Grateful for all the messages of love."

The Colts first announced 64-year-old Irsay was struggling with his health back on Jan. 9 ... when they said he was battling "a severe respiratory illness." The issue was so dire, it actually forced Irsay to back out of a concert with his band.

To make matters worse for the NFL owner, TMZ Sports learned that just weeks prior -- on Dec. 8 -- cops were called to his Carmel home after they said he had been found unconscious with a blue skin tone.

In police documents, cops said first responders administered live-saving measures before taking him to the hospital ... classifying the incident as both an "overdose" and "overdose/poisoning."

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Country music legend Toby Keith has sadly passed away surrounded by family due to complications from a lengthy battle with stomach cancer. He was just 62.

Taylor Swift's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to a man who runs a social media page tracking her private jet whereabouts.

In other Swiftie news ... rumors have been running rampant following the Grammys that Taylor Swift is going to be Lana Del Rey's surprise guest at Coachella in April. Taylor's BF Travis Kelce revealed that he's already listened to her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, and says that "it is unbelievable!"

Rapper Killer Mike addressed his controversial arrest that took place at the Grammy awards, in which he allegedly knocked down a security guard.

Prince Harry is now in the United Kingdom to be with King Charles following his cancer diagnosis.

Plus, the lawyer behind the backup dancers suing Lizzo believes her presence at the Grammy awards was a double standard.

7:54 AM PT -- King Charles just emerged from his meeting with Prince Harry at Clarence House -- one that only lasted about 45 minutes or so -- and His Royal Highness was all smiles next to Camilla.

This is one of the first times we're seeing the King since word of his cancer diagnosis broke -- and he's surprisingly in very good spirits. Now, he's on his way to Buckingham Palace.

Prince Harry has wasted no time hopping on a plane to London to see his dad less than 24 hours after Buckingham Palace announced King Charles has cancer.

Harry flew private from LAX to London's Heathrow Airport and arrived at 12:20 PM London time. He beelined it for Clarence House ... where his father is staying.

It's unclear how to read this ... whether Harry's quick move in any way intersects with the severity of King Charles's diagnosis.

As you know, Harry and his dad have a fractured relationship, although it's more cordial than Harry's relations with his brother, Prince William.

As we reported, doctors discovered the cancer during a procedure for an enlarged prostate. It is not prostate cancer -- though, the Palace was not more specific.

It's unclear how long Harry will stay. We also don't know if there are plans for Harry and William to see each other, but it would seem that would be hard to avoid given that William is probably spending time at Clarence House as well.

BTW ... Meghan Markle did not travel with Harry.

El Príncipe Harry no esperó para subirse a un avión y viajar a Londres para ver a su padre, menos de 24 horas después de que el Palacio de Buckingham informara que el Rey Carlos tiene cáncer.

Harry voló en un avión privado desde el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles al aeropuerto de Heathrow y llegó a las 12:20 PM de Londres. Fue a Clarence House donde se aloja su padre.

No está claro si el rápido movimiento de Harry tiene algo que ver con la gravedad del diagnóstico del rey Carlos, es difícil de interpretar.

Como ustedes saben, Harry y su padre han estado distanciados, aunque su relación es más cordial que la que tiene con su hermano, el príncipe Guillermo.

Como informamos, los médicos descubrieron el cáncer durante un procedimiento por próstata agrandada. No es cáncer de próstata, aunque el Palacio no fue más específico.

No está claro cuánto tiempo se quedará Harry en Londres. Tampoco sabemos si hay planes para que se encuentre con William, pero parece que sería difícil de evitar, dado que es probable que William pase tiempo en Clarence House también.

Killer Mike and his family are breathing a collective sigh of relief ... the surgery to give his son a new kidney went successfully.

Mike tells us his 21-year-old son Mikael "Pony Boy" Render came through the transplant, and "did really well." He says Pony will be in recovery for a few hours before he's moved back to his hospital room, but they're already seeing some positive signs -- Mike says it "looks like the kidney is already working."

TMZ broke the story ... Pony went into surgery Monday morning, after waiting 3 years for a matching organ. It's been an ongoing health issue that Mike has been very open about.

His son's lifesaving surgery comes on the heels of one of Mike's most memorable days, professionally, for good and bad reasons.

As we reported, Killer Mike cleaned up at the Grammys on Sunday ... winning 3 awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance -- however, moments later he was in handcuffs for allegedly getting physical with a security guard at the Grammys venue, Crypto.com Arena.

Mike was booked for misdemeanor battery, and released on his own recognizance -- in fact, he was still able to step out Sunday night and celebrate his Grammy wins.

All of that was firmly in his rearview, though, when the family got word Pony was cleared for surgery.

Emily Willis -- a famous porn star -- was hospitalized after an apparent overdose, and she's in bad shape as doctors work on nursing her back to health ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the adult film actress was transported to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, CA Sunday -- this after a call for service reporting a possible OD. We're told the report came in for an unresponsive 25-year-old ... whom we've confirmed is Emily.

Our sources tell us she's currently in the critical care unit at the hospital -- although her exact condition is unknown.

One other notable tidbit -- Emily was actually transported from a well-known celeb rehab location in Malibu ... where she appears to have been receiving treatment for addiction.

Emily has been working in the porn biz since at least 2017 -- and she's been a rising star since then ... having appeared in countless videos and productions since then, and collaborating with a ton of recognizable brands like Reality Kings, Evil Angel and more.

She's also done work for Penthouse Magazine -- and actually won Pet of the Month in 2019. Emily has also made waves at AVN Awards in recent years ... so she's a known name.

Emily has even rubbed shoulders with big-time social media stars -- including David Dobrik. She was embroiled in a bit of controversy in 2021, when she filed a defamation suit against a bunch of other porn stars ... alleging they were trashing her on social media apps.

Since then, Emily has kept busy with a lot of different kinds of projects, including a handful outside of porn -- she's appeared in music videos and other promotional modeling campaigns.

Like we said ... she's incredibly popular -- with over 2 million followers on Instagram alone.

10:43 AM PT -- El rey Carlos III ha notificado a sus dos hijos -el príncipe Guillermo y el príncipe Harry- sobre su diagnóstico y ambos se apresuraron a estar a su lado. Se dice que Will está en contacto regular con su padre, y obviamente está cerca de verlo en persona también.

En cuanto a Harry, nos informan que va a volar al Reino Unido los próximos días para ver a su padre.

El Rey Carlos III está luchando contra el cáncer...

El Palacio de Buckingham -la residencia real del Reino Unido- emitió un comunicado oficial el lunes diciendo: "Durante el reciente procedimiento hospitalario del Rey por un agrandamiento benigno de la próstata, se observó una cuestión separada de preocupación. Las pruebas de diagnóstico posteriores han identificado una forma de cáncer".

El Palacio añade: "Su Majestad ha comenzado hoy un programa de tratamientos regulares, tiempo durante el cual se le ha aconsejado por los médicos posponer los deberes de cara al público".

El palacio dice que Carlos continuará con sus asuntos de Estado y trámites oficiales a pesar del diagnóstico.

Como informamos, Carlos ingresó en un hospital londinense el mes pasado para someterse a un "procedimiento correctivo" por un agrandamiento de próstata. Kate Middleton estuvo en el mismo hospital al mismo tiempo para una cirugía de estómago.

El Palacio dice que Carlos "sigue siendo totalmente positivo sobre su tratamiento y espera volver a su plena función pública tan pronto como sea posible".

La familia real dice que está anunciando el diagnóstico de Carlos "para evitar especulaciones y con la esperanza de que pueda ayudar a la comprensión pública para todos aquellos en todo el mundo que se ven afectados por el cáncer".

Es curioso... El anuncio del cáncer de Carlos llega justo después del Día Mundial contra el Cáncer.

La esposa del Rey, la Reina Camilla, inauguró la semana pasada un nuevo centro de apoyo contra el cáncer en el Royal Free Hospital del Reino Unido.

10:43 AM PT -- King Charles III has notified both of his sons -- Prince William and Prince Harry -- about his diagnosis ... and both of them are rushing to be by his side. Will is said to be in regular contact with his dad, and is obviously nearby to see him in person too.

As for Harry ... he's reported to be flying into the UK in the coming days to see his father.

Major health update out of Buckingham Palace ... King Charles III is fighting cancer.

Buckingham Palace – the United Kingdom's royal residence – released an official statement Monday saying ... "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer."

The Palace adds ... "His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties."

Charles, the Palace says, will continue with his state business and official paperwork despite the diagnosis.

As we reported, Charles was admitted to a London hospital last month for a "corrective procedure" for an enlarged prostate. Kate Middleton was in the same hospital at the same time for stomach surgery.

The Palace says Charles "remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."

The Royal family says it's announcing Charles' diagnosis "to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."

It's interesting ... Charles' cancer announcement comes on the heels of World Cancer Day.

The King's wife, Queen Camilla, last week opened a new cancer support center at Royal Free Hospital in the UK.

Killer Mike's officially putting his arrest at the Grammys on the back burner, because after a long wait, his oldest son is finally getting a kidney transplant ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

Sources connected to the Grammy-winning rapper tell us Mike is with his son Mikael "Pony Boy" Render Monday as he undergoes the transplant surgery. The 21-year-old has been waiting for a kidney match for 3 years.

Back in November, Mikael got bumped up on the transplant waitlist, and his proud dad talked about it during an interview with Graham Bensinger.

Mike has said Mikael -- who's a musician and rapper, just like Dad -- never had a chance to fully experience his teenage years, because of his battle with kidney disease.

The fact Pony Boy's number got called for the transplant today, of all days, seems like a strange twist of fate ... considering his dad's weekend of some major ups and downs.

TMZ broke the story ... Killer Mike was awarded 3 Grammys Sunday at L.A.'s Crytpo.com Arena -- but he also got arrested.

He was booked for misdemeanor battery after allegedly knocking over a security guard at the venue, but was quickly released on his own recognizance. After getting released ... Mike was in relatively good spirits, even though he'd gone through a fairly dramatic situation.

Paps tried talking to him about it in the aftermath -- but he wasn't really trying to talk much about it ... keeping his attention on the music. In light of this news about his son ... his mind was clearly elsewhere, as he had more important matters to attend to.

Mike won Grammys for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance -- but today his focus is purely on Mikael's surgery.

Los arrebatos de Kanye West han llevado a algunas personas a cuestionar su aptitud como padre, incluso algunos se han preguntado si Kim Kardashian debería poner límites en las interacciones de su exmarido con sus 4 hijos, aunque otros dicen que sería indignante restringirle los encuentros con ellos.

Como saben, Ye ha soltado numerosos comentarios antisemitas, ha dicho que se identifica con Adolf Hitler y que teme el "adoctrinamiento" judío de sus hijos. Se opone también a que los niños vayan a una "escuela judía".

Ahora en un nuevo TMZ Investiga, que se emitirá el lunes en FOX a las 9/8 central, diversos expertos en psicología y amigos de Kanye compartirán sus pensamientos sobre cómo la pareja está cuidando de sus hijos.

Uno de ellos es el Dr. Kevin Cokley, profesor de Psicología en la Universidad de Michigan, quien piensa que Kim necesita sentar a sus hijos y tratar de hacerles entender que pueden amar a su padre sin aprobar todo lo que dice.

Otros, entre ellos The Game, dicen que es absurdo preocuparse por Kanye y sus hijos. Game dice que Kanye los ama más de lo que se ama a sí mismo.

Aunque algunos pueden querer que Kim le prohíba a Kanye ver a sus dos hijos y dos hijas, sobre todo porque lucha con un trastorno de bipolaridad, el psiquiatra Dr. Kyle Smith dice que una persona no puede proteger a sus hijos de todo.

Smith dice que siempre y cuando Ye no está poniendo en peligro a los niños no es diferente de otros padres que tienen prejuicios, y eso es un grupo grande.
