"Days of Our Lives" actor Eric Winter is recovering in a hospital with debilitating and mysterious numbness.

Eric has been dogged by neck and back issues for years, and he's already gone under the knife twice, but without success.

The pain was too much and last Tuesday he went back in ... it was especially alarming because he experienced numbness running down his right arm.

Lucky for Eric ... doctors did not perform a third neck surgery. They tried a minor procedure they hope will do the trick.

It's been a rough couple of weeks for soap stars. A "General Hospital" actor was in a horrendous car accident but got off pretty easy.

The tranquility at a San Fernando Valley park was shattered by what sounded like gunfire, sending picnickers and others scrambling for cover ... but it was all just a reenactment of an infamous murder case that put Snoop Dogg in the defendant's chair.

It happened last week at Tarzana Park. A scene was being shot for the docuseries "Rich and Acquitted," putting the spotlight on the 1993 shooting death of gang member Philip Woldemariam. Snoop, who was in a rival gang, was tried for murder and acquitted.

We're told cops were aware blanks would be fired in the park to reenact the murder, but apparently the memo didn't get out to people who were strolling around.

It's really bizarre ... this is happening more and more where there's a shooting reenactment for a TV show or movie but bystanders are left in the dark. It happened recently on the Vegas strip during a reenactment of the Tupac shooting.

"Rich and Acquitted" will also chronicle the acquittals of Robert Blake, Oscar Pistorius, O.J. Simpson, R. Kelly, and Michael Jackson.

Producers weren't taking any chances ... they played Michael Strahan off as he was saying his goodbyes on 'Live' ... just like the Oscars.

As Michael and Kelly sipped champagne ... Strahan thanks the fans and the staff, but not Kelly.

In the end, he told her he loved her and gave her a smooch.

If someone told Meghan Trainor to "break a leg" before her 'Tonight Show' appearance -- she took it way too seriously.

She performed her song, "Me Too" Thursday night and turned to face her band for the BIG finish ... which was great. Not so great her pivot back to the microphone.

And you know what always makes a fall worse -- fighting it. Watch ... you'll cringe and then laugh, which is okay since her camp says she didn't get injured.

They are good ... Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan were all over each other, holding hands, hugging, and even being mutually chivalrous for Michael's last stand.

You just gotta watch ... 2 people who now have unbridled contempt for each other ... you would never, ever know.

Turns out Glenn and Daryl save people in real life too ... just not from zombies.

"The Walking Dead" stars Norman Reedus and Steve Yeun were cruising on motorcycles Thursday in Peachtree City, GA when they came upon a car crash near the set ... and they jumped into action.

We're told injuries were fairly minor, but the duo hung around until paramedics arrived.

"The Voice" winner Craig Wayne Boyd put a smile on his baby's face by making her an honest woman ... on the sly.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ the country star got hitched to his fiancee, Wilhelmina model Taylor Borland, on April 28, but there was no big fancy ceremony. Instead, they did the deed at the Franklin, TN courthouse. Craig's assistant and 2 of Taylor's family members were there too.

CWB's wedding ring is turquoise with diamonds, and we're told it set Taylor back about $10k. Don't worry, she's got a giant rock on her hand too.

The couple plans to throw a huge party at the end of the year for family and friends. Craig and Taylor got engaged last August, and already have a 4-month-old daughter.

Mazel.

Michael Strahan doesn't want fanfare Friday as he exits 'Live' for 'GMA' ... we've learned the show will be a look back at the last 4 years, minus some hard feelings by his co-host over the last 2 weeks.

Sources on the show tell us ... Friday's 'Live' will be laced with clips from shows past, highlighting Michael's ascendancy ... ironically the very thing that caused Kelly Ripa to intensely dislike him.

We're told there will be 2 guests ... Carmelo Anthony and Matt Bomer.

Michael will likely end the show thanking the staff and his fans for their support.

His exit isn't coming a day too soon. We're told Kelly barely says a word to him off camera. He has a habit of knocking on her door when it's time to go out onstage, and she now walks out without even acknowledging him. As we reported, her makeup door used to be open and he'd say hi. It's now shut.

And our sources say there's a lot of acrimony on the staff, because when Kelly came back after her boycott she talked about how they were all family, and how important it was to keep the lines of communications open. We're told the day she came back she hardly said a word to anyone on the staff or to Michael ... she only spoke to her husband and her agent.

There's also lots of support for Michael, because many on the staff say he did nothing wrong. All he did was agree to be a good soldier and go to another show on the same network ... per bosses orders.

Expect a snowstorm for Michael Strahan's last day on 'Live' -- that's how frigid things are right now with Kelly Ripa, and there's one obvious sign every morning.

Sources connected to production tell us prior to Kelly's protest a few weeks ago, she would sit in her makeup room with the door open and Michael would greet her as he arrived ... but that's all changed.

We're told Kelly's door is shut every morning ... delaying any "good morning" salutations, and Strahan believes she's sending a clear message. Although they're putting on a good face on the air -- we're told the tension between them is palpable.

As for Strahan's last show, airing this Friday, we're told he's asked for it to be low key. One source says Michael would be happy with "a few flashback" segments and he just wants out of what's become an unfriendly environment.

Sharon Osbourne returned to "The Talk" Tuesday and made it clear ... she and Ozzy are on the outs and an alleged affair is at the bottom of it.

Sharon walked out with a glass of lemonade ... clearly a reference to Beyonce's album about Jay Z and alleged cheating.

Sharon was strong and blunt, saying she did indeed kick Ozzy out of the house. Sharon says she and Ozzy are still on speaking terms but has no idea what to expect for their future.

As TMZ reported ... Sharon confronted Ozzy with allegedly having an affair with a celebrity hairdresser. Ozzy moved out of the family house last week and stayed in a hotel, but had a change of heart and on Monday moved back to the Bev Hills home. Sharon packed some things and left.

We're told Sharon hasn't decided whether to file for divorce after 33 years of marriage.

Chris Massey dodged serious legal trouble in Las Vegas as prosecutors have decided not to pursue domestic violence charges.

The Clark County D.A. rejected the domestic violence case against the "Zoey 101" star, citing insufficient evidence. TMZ broke the story -- Massey got arrested last month after he allegedly pushed GF Cassalei Jackson inside Marquee Nightclub.

Kim Kardashian brought out her cleavage 'A' game for one of her last nights in Cuba -- but she got upstaged by her own daughter's dance moves.

Kim and Kanye West and the rest of the krew packed in a ton of activities before jetting off the island -- touring a bird sanctuary, an art gallery ... and a private dinner party, complete with salsa dancing lessons.

Check out the pics -- North, Penelope and Mason made grandma Kris proud. There will be another generation of 'KUWTK' ... for better or worse.

Seems Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler has made an off-season acquisition of his own ... 'cause he was out on a lunch date with "Pretty Little Liars" star Shay Mitchell -- and we're told the two are together.

Butler and Mitchell had lunch together at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills on Saturday -- and TMZ Sports has video of the two smiling and laughing together after the meal.

Sources extremely close to the couple tell us it wasn't just a one-off lunch thing -- the two are dating ... but it's pretty fresh, so they're keeping things on the DL.

Later that night, Butler was out at dinner without Shay -- and was playing it coy when we asked about the relationship ... but you can tell.

We also asked if there was ever a chance of him playing for the Lakers -- but Butler made it clear he's a Bulls man.

At least for now.

Khloe Kardashian shot a bunch of photos and videos of Lamar Odom on life support -- but he signed off on them being used on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" ... TMZ has learned.

Sources closely tied to production tell us Khloe took the images of Lamar in his hospital bed, so she could "share with him his progress when he got better."

We're told when Lamar got better, Khloe showed him the images ... and HE decided he wanted them on the show.

Johnny Manziel -- future NFL commentator?? It's possible.

With his playing career likely over, we asked CBS honcho Les Moonves if he would ever consider the former Heisman Trophy winner for a job in the booth.

The answer wasn't a resounding YES -- but it wasn't no either.

"He'd have to audition like 50 other guys do," Moonves said.

Michael Buble can add acting chops to his resume ... 'cause the beloved crooner pulled a cruel, cold-blooded and HYSTERICAL prank on one of our photogs!

We spotted the singer walking around Bev Hills, and asked him about fellow singer Josh Groban possibly replacing Michael Strahan on 'Live.' Buble was NOT in the mood to talk ... or so it appeared.

The video is so awesome ... it almost makes up for Buble's recent corn on the cob fiasco, which he tried to explain away to our guy.
