Derek Hough says his wife, Hayley, is recovering after having brain surgery, but it's gonna take quite a while for her to feel 100 percent again.
In a message posted on Instagram Friday, the "Dancing with the Stars" judge gave an update to his fans on Hayley's situation, pointing out that she has a "long road of recovery" after she suffered a "cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy."
The Mayo Clinic defines an intracranial hematoma as blood that forms within brain tissue or below the skull, putting pressure on the cranium. The condition is usually caused by a blood vessel that bursts in the brain as a result of head trauma.
In his IG post, Derek also talked about how Hayley inspires him with her will and strength and "no more so than in the last 48 hrs,” when she suffered her medical emergency.
On Thursday morning, Hayley became disoriented and was rushed to a D.C. hospital after their "Symphony of Dance" performance the night before.
Derek also gave thanks to his fans for their love and support, explaining, "The offers of assistance that have poured in have been so humbling and appreciated."
He added, "Our hope is that as a family, we can somehow and someway pay it forward."
Mama June delivered an ominous message on social media Friday, asking her fans to pray for her family as her cancer-stricken daughter, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, fights for her life.
In a video posted on Instagram, June explained their world has changed over the past few weeks, and while "Anna is still us," her life is in God's hands.
The reality star called for everyone to pray for Anna as she and her family go through "this transition."
June said they are currently spending their days with Anna and making lasting memories before her time comes.
And when it finally does come, June promised to announce the news via social media because Anna wouldn't want it "any f***ing other way."
June also thanked their fans for reaching out with messages of support for Anna, before signing off with, "We love you guys and we'll see you soon."
In January, Anna was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma -- a rare cancer that begins in the kidneys and causes stomach pain.
Two months later, Anna reportedly went through her first round of chemotherapy. And, in May, Anna gave her last health update, posting on IG that she had a "pretty good day" after completing her third round of chemo.
Shannon Beador is making strides in her sobriety journey ... choosing not to be tempted by any alcohol during a celebratory night out on the town.
Witnesses at the season 2 premiere Wednesday night of Amazon's "Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis" tell TMZ ... the "RHOC" star held onto a clear cup filled with water as she mingled in a crowd of more than 100 guests at the Sunset Tower Hotel.
They also say Shannon seemed to be in great spirits, with no man in tow ... only her girlfriends.
She was arrested over an alleged drunken car ride ... zipping through a Newport Beach residential area before crashing into the property, which was all caught on surveillance footage.
Cops booked her on 2 misdemeanors, and sources close to Shannon told us she was taking responsibility and accountability for her arrest by enrolling in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.

Two months later, it looks like Shannon's still on the straight and narrow.
Shannon Beador está haciendo grandes progresos en su camino hacia la sobriedad, la elección de no ser tentado por una bebida durante una noche de celebración en la ciudad el miércoles.
Los que pudieron ver el estreno de la segunda temporada de Amazon "Hollywood Houselift con Jeff Lewis", le dicen a TMZ que la estrella de "RHOC" se aferró a un vaso de agua mientras se mezclaba en una multitud de más de un centenar en el Sunset Tower Hotel.
Añaden que Shannon se veía de muy buen humor y sin ningún hombre en el remolque, solo sus amigas.
Ella fue detenida por un presuntamente conducir borracha, comprimir a través de una zona residencial de Newport Beach antes de estrellarse contra la propiedad, todo grabado en imágenes de vigilancia.
Los policías la ficharon por dos delitos menores, con fuentes cercanas a Shannon diciéndole a TMZ en octubre que estaba asumiendo la responsabilidad por su arresto y se inscribió en un programa ambulatorio de bienestar conductual con un componente de alcohol.

¡Y dos meses más tarde, parece que Shannon está mucho mejor después de dejar el alcohol!
There's a good reasonTaylor Swift called out Kim Kardashian in TIME over a now 7-year-old phone call with Kanye West -- it's an incident for which Kim still has not apologized ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Kim has never said sorry to Taylor over the notorious "Famous" phone call between Taylor and Kanye in 2016 ... the one Kim and Ye released, attempting to show Taylor was cool with the song's racy line about her.
2016
Snapchat
Remember, at the time of the track's release, Taylor expressed outrage over Ye's lyric ... "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex // Why? I made that bitch famous." In response to Taylor's anger, Kim posted her version of the recorded phone call in an effort to prove Taylor understood exactly what the song would include.
However, the full unedited version of the recorded call eventually came out, and it became clear Kanye had not revealed he'd refer to Taylor as a "bitch."
2016
Our sources say Kim's never apologized to Taylor for the call -- and even after the Time article, it's still crickets.
Interestingly, we're told Taylor would actually accept an apology from Kim on this issue, even all these years later, but only under one specific condition ... it would have to be done publicly.
As one source put it to us, a public shaming calls for a public "I'm sorry."
Our sources say Taylor still feels like Kim and Kanye were in the wrong ... and she was dumbfounded when Kim doubled down on her position even after the full, unedited version of their call got published.
From Kim's POV -- which she made clear in tweets at the time, and in subsequent interviews -- the fact Taylor was looped in on the song, period, vindicated her and Kanye ... but we're told Taylor's position has always been about the use of the word "bitch."
Kim downplayed that in a GQ piece ... saying all rappers use that term, and that it was NBD -- and while this might sound like a lot of hair-splitting ... we're told Taylor still feels she was seriously wronged in the framing of all that, something she touched on in her TIME interview.
TMZ.com
Again, we're told Taylor is still willing to bury the hatchet with Kim -- who has since divorced Kanye -- but at this point, our sources say the 2 women have no relationship.
Even more context to all this is, of course, Kanye's infamous tirade interrupting Taylor's 2009 VMAs acceptance speech -- an old feud that got relitigated with the phone call saga in 2016 ... and is now being reopened yet again in 2023.
Based on her current feelings about the whole mess, it's clear TS feels she deserves an apology -- but, luckily, she doesn't seem to be holding her breath for it.
El mayor premio de un reality de televisión de $4,560,000 dólares fue a parar a las manos de su ganador, con la coronación oficial de "El juego del calamar: El Desafío".
ALERTA DE SPOILER
Millones de personas siguieron en streaming la adaptación a la vida real del popular programa de Netflix y todo llegó a su fin el miércoles cuando los 3 finalistas se disputaron el primer lugar. Los concursantes fueron agasajados con un banquete en su dormitorio -compuesto por filetes- antes de que se revelara que solo 2 pasarían al juego final.
Desde ahí, Mai Whelan (jugador 287), Sam Lantz (jugador 016) y Phill Cain (jugador 451) quedaron reducidos a dos en un juego de azar. Este consistía en elegir un botón: el verde significaba que podían elegir a otro jugador para ir a la final, el rojo que quedaban eliminados y el gris era neutral. Mai consiguió el gris y Sam el rojo, por lo que pasó Phil.
En la partida final, Mai y Phil jugaron a "Piedra, papel o tijera". Cada vez que un jugador ganaba una ronda, tenía que seleccionar una llave de una caja con varias de ellas e intentar abrir una cerradura
Después de una docena de rondas, Mai, de 55 años e inmigrante de Virginia eligió la llave ganadora, pudo abrir la caja fuerte y llevarse a casa el premio de $4,560,000.
Por cierto, al igual que en la primera temporada de "El juego del calamar", esta primera temporada del reality show también terminó con un teaser para una 2ª temporada. Esto, a pesar de las recientes demandas de los concursantes que dicen que las condiciones en el programa fueron brutales ... así que permanezcan muy atentos.
Reality TV's biggest prize of $4,560,000 has officially been won ... as the winner of "Squid Game: The Challenge" was crowned.
SPOILER ALERT
Millions streamed the real-life game show adaption of the extremely popular Netflix show, and Wednesday night it all came to an end as the final 3 became one single champion. The three remaining contestants were all treated to a feast in their dorm -- consisting of steak -- before it was revealed only 2 of them would move on to the final game.
From there, the remaining 3 Mai Whelan (player 287), Sam Lantz (player 016), and Phill Cain (player 451) were narrowed to two in a game of chance where players selected a button to press ... green meant they got to choose one other player to bring to the final, red meant they were eliminated and grey was neutral. Mai got grey and Sam chose red which meant Phil and Mai moved on.
In the final game, Mai and Phil played "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Every time a player won the round, they'd select a single key from a box of several and attempt to open a lock.
After about a dozen rounds ... 55-year-old Mai, an immigration adjudicator from Virginia picked the winning key, opening the safe and taking home the $4,560,000 prize.
BTW -- much like the first season of "Squid Game" -- the first season of the reality show also ended with a teaser for a 2nd season, despite recent lawsuits from contestants who say the conditions on the show were brutal ... so stay tuned.
Flo Rida's performance at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball Detroit brought good feelings out for Flavor Flav, surprising the crowd as Flo's hype man and running into an old friend backstage ... his 'Flavor of Love' Season 1 winner Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander!!!
The animated rap legend joined Flo for "Club Can't Handle Me" ... which ended in jolly fashion with Flo being carried off stage by a beastly Santa Claus.
A rep for Flav tells us he still has one more stop on the iHeart Jingle Ball Tour after making cameos in both Detroit and L.A.
TMZ.com
As for his reunion, we're told Flav follows Hoopz on social media and loves watching her updates, but he hasn’t seen her in person in years ... neither planned on running into the other at the Jingle Ball.
As you can see in the video, the two were excited to hang -- they remixed the song "Hey Mickey" to insert Nicole's name in the lyrics ... a little inside joke from their past.
Hoopz beat out Tiffany "New York" Pollard back in 2006 to win VH1's trendsetting series ... a fruitful union that lasted to the show's next season.
La actuación de Flo Rida en el iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball de Detroit trajo cosas buenas para Flavor Flav, sorprendiendo a la multitud como hype man de Flo y encontrándose con una vieja amiga entre bastidores, ¡su ganadora de la primera temporada de "Flavor of Love" Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander!
La leyenda del rap se unió a Flo para "Club Can't Handle Me" que terminó de manera alegre con Flo siendo llevado fuera del escenario por un Santa Claus gigantesco.
Un representante de Flav nos dice que todavía tiene una parada más en el iHeart Jingle Ball Tour después de hacer cameos en Detroit y Los Ángeles.
TMZ.com
En cuanto a su reencuentro, nos comentan que Flav sigue a Hoopz en redes sociales y le encanta ver sus actualizaciones, pero no la ha visto en persona en años, ninguno planeaba encontrarse con el otro en el Jingle Ball.
Como se puede ver en el video, los dos estaban emocionados de pasar el rato, remezclaron la canción "Hey Mickey" para insertar el nombre de Nicole en la letra, una pequeña broma interna de su pasado.
Hoopz se impuso a Tiffany "New York" Pollard en 2006 para ganar la serie de tendencias de VH1, una unión fructífera que duró hasta la siguiente temporada del programa.
Bam Margera finalmente consiguió la luz verde para ver a su hijo, esto después de cruzar recientemente un gran hito en la sobriedad y tiene planes para ver al niño para la Navidad. TMZ ha iondagado.
David Glass —el abogado que representa a la esposa separada de Bam, Nikki— nos dice que la ex estrella de "Jackass" ha concedido visitas supervisadas para ver a su hijo pequeño, Phoenix. Se nos dice Bam puede ver Phoenix con un supervisor profesional siempre y cuando sea en el sur de California, que es donde Nikki vive con el niño.
Glass dice que ni él ni su cliente han sido informados acerca de cualquier fecha potencial para Bam ver Phoenix, aunque nos dicen lo contrario por Bam.
El propio Margera le dice a TMZ que no ha visto a Phoenix en persona desde hace más de 200 días y está decidido a visitar a su hijo justo alrededor de Navidad... nos informan que pasa a ser el cumpleaños del niño también.
Bam dice que esto es desde hace mucho tiempo, ya que afirma que sólo se ha permitido FT llamadas con Phoenix hasta ahora - y como tal, Papá Oso está todo listo para conducir a Cali para pasar algún tiempo de calidad con él. Nos dicen que Bam viene con un saco lleno de regalos, también, para Phoenix.
Al parecer, Bam había comprado $ 5,000 en regalos para su hijo - pero debido a todo el drama legal últimamente, no ha sido capaz de darles a Phoenix todavía ... aunque, Bam dice que va a recoger estos juguetes de la casa de un amigo en Burbank cuando llegue a la ciudad.
Como hemos informado, Bam recientemente logró estar más de 100 días sobrio, lo cual es una gran victoria para él en muchos aspectos. Bam nos dice que el juez en su caso de divorcio ha estado monitoreando este progreso cuidadosamente y pareciera que la decisión de concederle visitas se debe a su sobriedad.
Ahora todo lo que tiene que hacer es llamar a Nikki y contarle sus planes. 😅
Bam Margera finally got the green light to see his son -- this after recently crossing a huge milestone in sobriety -- and he has plans to see the boy for Christmas ... TMZ has learned.
David Glass -- the attorney repping Bam's estranged wife, Nikki -- tells us the former "Jackass" star has, indeed, been granted monitored visitation with their young son, Phoenix. We're told Bam can see Phoenix with a professional supervisor if/when he's in Southern California ... which is where Nikki lives with the kid.
As of right now, however, Glass says neither he nor his client have been informed about any potential dates for Bam to see Phoenix.
BM himself tells TMZ ... since he hasn't seen Phoenix in person for well over 200 days now, he's dead set on visiting his son right around Christmas -- which we're told happens to be the kid's birthday as well.
Bam says this is long overdue, as he claims to have only been allowed FT calls with Phoenix up until now -- and as such, Papa Bear is going to be flying into Los Angeles this month for an event and wants to spend some quality time with him. We're told Bam's coming with a sack full of presents, too, for Phoenix.
Apparently, Bam had purchased $5,000 worth of gifts for his kid -- but because of all the legal drama lately, he hasn't been able to give them to Phoenix just yet.
As we reported ... Bam recently hit over 100 days sober, which is a major win for him in so many respects. Bam tells us the judge in his divorce case has been monitoring this progress carefully -- and feels like the decision to grant him visitation is due to his sobriety.
Brandi Mallory murió de complicaciones debido a la obesidad, esto de acuerdo a su informe oficial de la autopsia.
TMZ obtuvo el documento del médico forense del condado de Fulton, y no arroja demasiados detalles sobre lo que fue lo que sucedió exactamente para causar la muerte de la estrella "Extreme Weight Loss". El hecho fue muy repentino y se cita su peso como el factor principal.
El papeleo dice que no había señales de una lesión reciente y no había razón para sospechar de juego sucio tampoco. El informe señala que había rastros de marihuana y alcohol en su sistema, pero el forense dice que no tuvieron implicancia en su muerte.
Esto es lo que dicen en la autopsia: "Es mi opinión que Brandi E. Mallory murió de complicaciones relacionadas con la obesidad, la cual se consideró una condición significativa respecto a su muerte". También enumera su muerte como natural cuando se trata de la forma.
TMZ publicó la historia, Mallory fue encontrado muerto en un estacionamiento del centro comercial de Atlanta después de una carrera de comida rápida de la noche anterior. Ella entró en el establecimiento, salió con su comida, y luego entró a su vehículo, pero nunca volvió a salir después de eso.
Un transeúnte preocupado llamó al 911 y dijo que sospechaba que había un cuerpo en el carro, ya que se dio cuenta de que no se había movido durante mucho tiempo.
November 2023
Mallory concursó en la cuarta temporada de la serie de ABC allá por 2014 y participó en el programa hasta 2018.
Brandi Mallory died from complications due to obesity -- this according to her official autopsy report.
TMZ obtained the document from the Fulton County Medical Examiner, citing the "Extreme Weight Loss" star's weight, an enlarged heart, and some elevated blood indicators suggestive of prediabetes all as factors in her overall health.
The paperwork says there was no sign of a recent injury and there was no reason to suspect foul play either. The report does note there were trace amounts of marijuana and alcohol in her system ... but the coroner says neither played a role in her death.
Here's how they put it in the autopsy ... "It is my opinion that Brandi E. Mallory died of complications of obesity was considered a significant condition contributing to the death." It also lists her death as natural when it comes to the manner.
TMZ broke the story ... Mallory was found dead in an Atlanta strip mall parking lot after being seen entering her car the night before. A concerned bystander called 911 and said he suspected there was a body in the car, as he noticed it hadn't moved for a long time.
November 2023
Mallory competed on Season 4 of the ABC series back in 2014, and had been involved with the program as recently as 2018.
Jessey Lee's ex-wife claims he's abused her and their kids, and now she's trying to get court ordered protection, but Jessey's denying it ... and claims she's lost all parental rights.
Crystal Hoang Lee -- who was once married to Jessey and has 2 children with him -- ran to court in L.A. this week to file for a temporary restraining order ... and her docs, obtained by TMZ, include shocking allegations of violence.
In the TRO request, Crystal claims Jessey's most recent date of alleged abuse against her was on Nov. 25 of this year ... and she claims he hit one of their children when they wouldn't go to sleep. She also alleges he caused her to have a miscarriage, but the docs don't include any further detail.
If you read through the docs ... she lists several other allegations of abuse from previous years -- ranging from hitting the kids, to hitting her, leaving the family to go gamble, uprooting the children and placing them in different schools.
Still, it appears the court wants to hear more details -- for now, a judge has denied Crystal's request for the TRO, and scheduled a hearing in 2 weeks, when she'll have a chance to lay out all her alleged details.
TMZ.com
Jesse's rep tells us, "Mr. Lee has no knowledge of this restraining order. He actually was granted a restraining order against Ms. Hoang on Nov 21st. He has been awarded full exclusive custody of the children and they currently live with him. Ms. Hoang has no access or parental rights. There is absolutely no truth to any of these allegations."
Mind you ... Crystal's claims come more than 2 years after Jessey abruptly left "Bling Empire" with his then-wife Cherie -- and while they told us at the time they were moving on to focus on other family ventures, there was speculation Crystal was at the center of the decision.
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are falling deeper into the debt hole -- she just got hit with a new credit card lawsuit ... meanwhile, a different judge just ordered him to pay 5 figures.
The embattled couple had some new legal docs come their way Tuesday -- in Kim's case, she's now being sued by Chase Bank over a balance they claim is way past due ... they're suing her for $4,624.02
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Chase attached a bunch of statements from her account to demonstrate she's been behind on payments dating back to Nov. 2022.
The balance, they allege, has only ballooned ... and now, they say they want their dough. Remember, Kroy also got sued by Chase Bank over another credit card account he had with them ... and in that instance, they alleged he owed quite a bit more -- about $13,000.
Speaking of KB, he got hit with a judgment in a completely separate case -- although, it pertains to the same sort of allegations. Discover is suing him over a balance it says he owed, which had grown to $11,275.45 ... and was past due.
Per new legal docs, Kroy never officially filed a response in that suit -- and now, a judge has signed off on a default judgment saying he's gotta fork over that full amount ... plus $111 of court costs.
Of course, in the background of all this is their divorce ... which is still technically on -- although, they seem to be trying to work things out and stay together as a couple.
Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann se están hundiendo cada vez más en el agujero de las deudas. Ella acaba de recibir un nuevo embate, con una demanda por atrasos en su tarjeta de crédito, mientras que otro juez acaba de ordenarle a Roy que pague 5 cifras.
La asediada pareja se encontró con nuevos documentos legales el martes. En el caso de Kim, ahora está siendo demandada por Chase Bank por un sobre saldo que está muy atrasado y que asciende a los $4,624.02, según están demandando.
En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Chase adjunta un montón de declaraciones de su cuenta para demostrar que los retrasos en los pagos se remontan a noviembre de 2022.
Alegan que el saldo solo se ha disparado y que quieren su dinero de vuelta. Recuerden, Kroy también fue demandado por Chase Bank por otra tarjeta de crédito que tenía con ellos. En ese caso, alegan que debía un poco más de $13,000.
Hablando de Kroy, también fue aporreado con una sentencia en un caso completamente separado, aunque se refiere al mismo tipo de reclamos. Discover lo está demandando por un saldo adeudado que habría crecido a $11,275.45 y está atrasado.
Por nuevos documentos legales, Kroy nunca presentó oficialmente una respuesta a esa demanda y ahora un juez ha firmado una sentencia diciendo que él es tenedor de esa cantidad total, más unos $111 por los costos judiciales.
Por supuesto, su divorcio está al fondo de todo esto, el que técnicamente sigue en curso, aunque ellos parecen estar tratando de resolver las cosas y seguir juntos como pareja.
