Jamie Foxx says he's only now starting to feel like himself again, but getting back to normal has been an "unexpected dark journey."

The Academy Award-winning actor posted his most encouraging health update to date on Instagram Wednesday, explaining he finally "can see the light." He also gave props to everyone who supported him and promised to personally thank them. He ended with a shout-out to the Almighty, writing, "GOD IS GOOD."

A carousel of images accompanied his message, showing Jamie looking stronger than ever while sporting a white V-neck shirt, bucket hat and Aviator glasses. Many fans and celebs showered Jamie with heartwarming words of encouragement in the comments section.

Jeremy Renner, who was nearly killed in a snowplow accident, wrote, "Bless you my friend !!!❤️❤️."

Actress Octavia Spencer referenced Jamie's "GOD IS GOOD" remark, saying, "Yes He is!!! Glad you’re better." Fellow actress Garcelle Beauvais added, "God is amazing and so are you!"

As you know, Jamie suffered a major health scare in April in what his family described as a 'medical complication,' the nature of which still remains a mystery. After Jamie was released from the hospital, he was seen around Chicago, boating and hitting golf balls.

The home where Aaron Carter died has officially sold ... and the bathroom where the singer's body was found has been completely remodeled.

Christie Limpus of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices held the listing, and tells TMZ … Aaron's Lancaster house closed Wednesday for $765,000. You'll recall, it was put on the market in April for just under $850k.

We're told the bathroom got a big facelift, although no photos are being shared of the remodel. The purchase was a probate sale because Aaron died without a will ... and Christie says the keys are being handed over to a happy family.

TMZ broke the story, the money made from the sale was going directly to Aaron's estate, and into a trust for his 1-year-old son, Prince. Remember, Aaron bought the place in 2019 for $430k, and actually put it on the market about a month before he died.

Britney Spears and her husband, Sam Asghari have separated after a nuclear argument that involves allegations of cheating ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... about a week ago, Sam confronted Britney over rumors she stepped out on him. We do not know if the rumor has any basis in fact, but we're told Sam believed it and the 2 had a huge fight.

Our sources say Sam has moved out of their house and is now living in a place of his own. As one source put it, "It's only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce."

TMZ broke the story, there's been "deep trouble" with the couple's union for months ... Sam wasn't sleeping at the house much, and we're told Britney has gotten physical with him in blowout fights that include frequent screaming matches.

As we reported, Britney has a prenup which protects her assets, but one insider tells TMZ, the likely end to the marriage will be a check from Britney to Sam that will settle things, at least financially.

If you've been following Britney's journey post-conservatorship, the writing's been on the wall. At times, Britney's behavior has been erratic, and we're told Sam was over it.

Sam has publicly defended Britney from critics, but privately we're told he was frustrated ... at wits' end.

Sam and Britney started dating back in 2016, when he got a gig in one of her music videos. Since then, they've been practically inseparable.

Amid the #FreeBritney movement, Sam often expressed support for Brit's fans ... she shared plans of marrying him and starting a family. He even posed in a Free Britney t-shirt, which he posted to his Instagram.

Britney was ecstatic when Sam popped the question in September 2021 ... sharing pics and video of her ring and happiness with her fans on social media.

Eventually, Sam and Britney said their "I Dos" and tied the knot in a small private ceremony at their Thousand Oaks home -- not without drama, courtesy of one of her exes. Still, the ceremony itself seemed to go off without a hitch ... and they appeared happy.

While divorce docs haven't been filed yet, we're told that should happen sooner rather than later.

Doja Cat reportedly lost thousands of social media followers last month when she blasted diehard fans for worshipping her career -- a small price to pay, she thinks, to find her genuine supporters!!!

Doja posted an IG story Tuesday where she explained she had no regrets about ripping her rabid fanbase for calling themselves "kittenz" -- she actually referred to their social media rejection as a weight lifted off her shoulders.

She wrote, "Seeing all these people unfollow makes me feel like I've defeated a large beast that's been holding me down for so long and it feels like I can reconnect with the people who really matter and love me for who I am and not for who I was."

The clarification coincided with Doja's Harper's Bazaar cover story where she further vented about fans to Angie Martinez, saying ... "My theory is that if someone has never met me in real life, then, subconsciously, I’m not real to them. So when people become engaged with someone they don’t even know on the internet, they kind of take ownership of that person.

She adds, "They think that person belongs to them in some sense. And when that person changes drastically, there is a shock response that is almost uncontrollable ...  I’ve accepted that that’s what happens."

It's also clear Doja's fine losing some of that fan induced-pressure. As she said in Harper's ... "I put my wigs on and take them off. I shave my head or my eyebrows. I have all the freedom in the world."

Chris Brown's affinity for the timestamp "11:11" has led him to shape his entire next album around those digits ... and if the stars align for him, he'll have a pretty groovy concept to market!!!

The R&B superstar outlined his developing album plans on Wednesday, revealing his wishes for the album to be named "11:11" ... as it will be his 11th full-length project.

CB says the album will fittingly have 11 songs, and he's looking toward November 11 (11.11.23) for the release date.

For many, 11:11 is a symbol of good luck and spirituality, which CB is clearly hoping to drum up after his last LP, 2022's "Breezy," didn't get the reception he hoped for.

It only debuted at No. 4, forcing CB to lash out against the lack of fanfare, which prompted T-Pain to call him out over the tantrum.

EST Gee didn't feel like his upcoming album was getting enough plug time during a chat with Bootleg Kev -- so, talking turned to walking, as he bolted midway through the convo!!!

Kev had been trying to inquire about EST's past stint as a football player, but the Kentucky-born rapper wasn't feeling the topic, as Kev seemed kinda hazy on details of the question.

EST expressed his desire to discuss his album "El Toro 2," and was noticeably bored as he fiddled with his ashtray.

When Kev inquired about EST signing with Yo Gotti, EST decided he was both done and finished and removed himself from the studio. The interview lasted about 20 minutes before the meltdown and Kev claimed EST was 2 hours later for the meeting.

Shortly after, EST hopped on IG to scold Kev for posting the interview while his vacated seat was still warm. He also denied the football questions made him mad, and said it was more about the wacky questions about porn star Brian Pumper and UFOs!!!

Kev tells TMZ Hip Hop he got the vibe EST didn't want to be there from the start, but hopes they can do another interview down the line.

The Killers are apologizing to their fans after getting pelted with boos at a recent concert in the country of Georgia for bringing a Russian fan onstage and calling him their "brother."

The rock band, led by singer Brandon Flowers, invited a fan up onstage at their Shekvetili gig Tuesday to play the drums -- a tradition the group's been doing for a while. This fan, however, claimed he was from Russia ... something the Georgian crowd wasn't thrilled with.

Brandon and co. got a swarm of negative responses instantly, prompting him to suggest the man was the country's brother -- which set them off even more. After more booing, he asked if he wasn't their brother, being from America ... and got more boos.

The crowd got pretty pissed, and many folks in the crowd reportedly left in protest ... and the band offered up an apology after the rough show, saying, "Good people of Georgia, it was never our intention to offend anyone!"

Responding to the "brother" comment, they add, "We recognize that a comment, meant to suggest that all of The Killers' audience and fans are 'brothers and sisters,' could be misconstrued. We did not mean to upset anyone and we apologize."

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are lighter in their real estate portfolio, but heavier in their pockets as they just sold off their beautiful Miami home.

The two purchased the home for $11 million about a year ago, listed it for $16.995M and eventually sold it for $15M. Definitely an impressive profit over such a short period of time, but they also reportedly did some renovations on the pad, so you gotta account for that too.

The lucky owners of the 10,400 sqft home will enjoy its tall ceilings, renovated kitchen and a ton of windows to take in all that Miami sunshine.

There's also a beautiful pool in the backyard with direct water access and a dock for any potential boaters. Carl Gambino of Compass held the listing.

Unclear why Joe and Sophie made the decision to unload the place so quickly, but they've got two small kiddos ... so maybe they've decided to go elsewhere and potentially continue to expand their fam.

Quavo's swinging for the fences with his new album ... using the Atlanta Braves' stadium as his stage to give ATL a taste of the project!!!

The Atlanta rapper hyped the crowd inside Truist Park ahead of the Braves vs. Yankees game with his unreleased single "Who Wit Me?" ... a chant he got the crowd repeating on command.

The track will appear on Quavo's "Rocket Power" album that drops Friday -- the title being a nod to his late nephew Takeoff, who Quavo also honored by wearing the commemorative merchandise he recently launched to celebrate Takeoff's birthday.

Tori Kelly must be feeling a whole lot better after her major health scare … because she’s hitting the road for a nationwide tour and in Canada.

The Grammy-winning singer announced her plans for "The Take Control Tour" on Instagram Tuesday, writing, "It’s been too long." She gave a list of tour dates, beginning on September 10 in Toronto, Ontario, before moving on to a number of American cities, including L.A. and NYC.

Fans can DM Tori to snag presale tickets at 9 AM today -- others can purchase general admission tickets Thursday through her website.

This is great news for Tori, who was hospitalized with serious blood clots last month. TMZ broke the story … Tori was having dinner with friends at a downtown L.A. restaurant when she passed out and was rushed to the hospital.

Colombian singer Manuel Turizo is makin' moves after his recent collab with Shakira ... because he's now working with the Mexican-American mega group, Grupo Frontera.

TMZ's learned Manuel and the popular band are joining forces for a new song and music video, called "De Lunes a Lunes"  -- something they're planning on officially announcing in the coming weeks.

TMZ has obtained some shots of Manuel and Grupo Frontera on set in Miami last week shooting the music vid ... and they all seemed to be gettin' along pretty damn well.

The guys came together because they're big fans of each other and wanted to collab on a new sound, combining each of their styles.

As you know, Manuel's track with Shakira, "Copa Vacía," has blown up since dropping in June, and he's got a lot going for him right now.

He was nominated for the Rolling Stone En Español Awards Monday, and he closed out La casa de los famosos -- the Spanish language version of "Celebrity Big Brother" -- with a performance.

NYC native and American actor Jason Patric was in his early 20s when he became known for his movie characters, such as playing Michael Emerson -- the handsome and laid-back guy -- in "The Lost Boys" back in 1987 and Jim Raynor -- the undercover narcotics officer -- in "Rush" back in 1991.

Some of his other early notable parts include "Sleepers" with Kevin Bacon and Brad Pitt and "Speed 2: Cruise Control" with Sandra Bullock.

During the mid 2000s, Patric veered from the movie screen to the Broadway stage ... appearing in shows like "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" and "That Champion Season."

Katharine McPhee and David Foster's son's nanny died after an elderly woman at a Toyota dealership ran her over with an SUV.

Our sources say the nanny, Yadira Calito, is the woman who died last week in an incident at a San Fernando Valley car dealership.

The fatal accident happened Wednesday morning at Hamer Toyota when an 84-year-old woman behind the wheel of a Toyota RAV4 crashed into the customer reception area.

Kat's nanny was pinned under the SUV and dragged for about 20 feet before eventually being freed from under the car. She was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, and later pronounced dead.

Police say the elderly driver was taking her car in for service when she hit the gas instead of the brakes ... sending her car from the service bay driveway into the customer reception area. The driver has not been arrested.

Two men working at the Toyota dealership were also injured in the crash ... but both are expected to make full recoveries.

Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa's relationship is officially out of the gutter -- that much is clear -- but we can't swear that's also true for their bowling game, which they worked on together.

Selena and her one-time BFF/kidney donor hit up a Studio City bowling alley Monday night, and even hopped in the same car after their time on the lanes with some other pals.

It's hard to say if their friendship is back to what it once was, but as we reported, it's been moving in that direction -- they were dining out together just a few days before taking on the 10 pins.

Selena and Francia hit up celeb hot spot Giorgio Baldi Friday night in Santa Monica, both looking as stunning as ever while getting in the same ride.

You'll recall, they've had an up-and-down relationship since the transplant, but Francia recently claimed there's no more bad blood ... after Selena wished Francia a happy birthday last month.

Beyoncé is setting the record straight on her feelings toward Lizzo -- not only is she back to name-dropping the artist in song, she also singled her out with a loving shout-out.

Bey was bringing the house down, per usual, Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in ATL, and performed "Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)," which supports her fellow female artists -- including Lizzo -- by shouting them out.

You may recall, Lizzo was notably absent from the song's callout section during a Beyoncé show earlier this month, but she was back on the lineup a couple of days later. Bey took things a step further this time, though -- saying, "I love you, Lizzo!"

The crowd certainly took that as a sign -- one fan in the crowd even responded, "OK!"

As we reported, Beyoncé ditched Lizzo's name at a Massachusetts show on August 1 ... coming directly after the "About Damn Time" singer was slapped with a lawsuit from 3 of her former dancers, claiming she created a hostile work environment with alleged sexual harassment and fat-shaming, among other things.

Lizzo, for what it's worth, has denied the allegations against her ... and it looks like Beyoncé's got Lizzo's back, and then some.

Adele's got a habit of tearing up onstage while singing her love songs, but her latest sob sesh is for a gender reveal ... not hers, but for a couple of her fans in Vegas.

Chris Dare and his wife, Shantelle Lord, got the gender reveal party of a lifetime at Adele's residency show at Caesars Palace, getting the singer to answer the question: boy or girl?

Adele was filled with excitement from the get-go during the weekend, and eventually revealed the parents-to-be are having a baby boy -- which got the 3 of them, and the entire audience, jumping for joy.

After wishing them well, Adele breaks down in tears, apologizing to the crowd for getting emotional ... before jokingly asking Chris and Shantelle to do her next gender reveal "if and when" she gets pregnant again.
