La estrella de "Mob Wives", Renee Graziano, lleva 40 días sobria después de una temporada en un centro de rehabilitación en Texas, y sigue recibiendo tratamiento gracias a la ayuda de Lamar Odom.

Un representante de Renee le dice a TMZ que ahora se está centrando en la terapia de trauma en el centro de bienestar de Lamar, donde espera luchar contra el abuso de sustancias, una causa por la que ha prometido luchar después de su sobredosis casi fatal en 2015.

Un representante de Lamar dice que esto viene luego de que él se acercó a Renee a través de IG cuando ella llegó a los titulares por su rehabilitación en noviembre, diciéndole que si necesitaba algo en el transcurso del tratamiento, se lo hiciera saber.

Nos dicen que la ex estrella de la NBA también le informó de los servicios ofrecidos en su lujoso centro de tratamiento de Sherman Oaks, el Vanity Wellness Treatment Center.

Hace dos semanas, Renee se puso en contacto con Lamar, diciendo que necesitaba tratamiento para el trauma extenso y el programa en el que se encontraba actualmente no ofrecía ese tipo de atención.

Lamar inmediatamente puso los engranajes en movimiento y conectó a Renee con las admisiones de su instalación. Ella se registró en el pasado jueves después de volar a California desde Texas.

Hasta ahora, todo bien. Renee está amando el programa y planea quedarse por otros 60 días mientras trabaja en su salud mental, la sobriedad y la salud física.

A devastating update on Celine Dion's debilitating battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome ... as her sister says she's lost control of her muscles.

The star's sister, Claudette Dion, revealed the shocking turn in her disease which causes painful muscle spasms, saying it would be a while before Celine returns to the stage.

She told 7 Jours it broke her heart 'cause her sister had always been disciplined and hard-working ... recalling their late mother telling Celine her habits would make her successful -- but that very success now appears threatened.

Despite the grim outlook, Claudette says it's still Celine's goal to return to the stage -- but in what capacity, she doesn't know.

Research into the neurological disorder is still ongoing ... but because it's so rare, it means progress is slow -- which Claudette can't wrap her head around ... adding that many people in the same boat have "lost hope" of a cure ever being found.

The update comes after she told HELLO! Canada in Sept that Celine was "doing everything" in her power to recover ... but her spasms were impossible to control.

The "All By Myself' singer announced she was stricken with the disease in a December 2022 video message ... forcing her to cancel a bunch of her 2023 concert dates.

3 ½ years after last being seen in public, Celine was spotted last month at a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and her hometown Montreal Canadiens -- looking in good spirits despite her health woes.

Una devastadora actualización reveló la hermana de Celine Dion sobre su batalla contra el síndrome de Stiff-Person diciendo que la cantante ha perdido el control de sus músculos.

La hermana de la estrella Claudette Dion reveló el impactante giro en su enfermedad, la que causa dolorosos espasmos musculares, diciendo que pasará un tiempo antes de que Celine vuelva al escenario.

Claudette le dijo a 7 Jours que esto le partió el corazón porque su hermana siempre había sido disciplinada y trabajadora y citó a su difunta madre, quien alguna vez dijo que sus hábitos la harían exitosa. Aunque ahora ese mismo éxito parece amenazado.

A pesar del sombrío panorama, Claudette dice que para Celine sigue siendo un objetivo volver a los escenarios, pero en qué capacidad, no lo sabe.

La investigación sobre el trastorno neurológico todavía está en curso, pero debido a que es tan raro su progreso es también lento. Claudette dice que muchas personas en el mismo barco han "perdido la esperanza" de que se encuentre alguna vez una cura.

La noticia llega después de que en septiembre dijera a ¡HOLA! Canadá que Celine estaba "haciendo todo" lo que estaba en su poder para recuperarse. Pero sus espasmos son imposibles de controlar.

La cantante de "All By Myself" anunció que estaba afectada por la enfermedad en un mensaje de video de diciembre de 2022. Esto la obligó a cancelar un montón de fechas de sus conciertos de 2023.

3 años y medio después de haber sido vista en público por última vez, Celine apareció en un partido de hockey el mes pasado, entre los Vegas Golden Knights y su ciudad natal, Montreal Canadiens. Se veía de buen humor a pesar de sus problemas de salud.

Omri Miran is among the Israeli hostages being held captive by Hamas ... and his brother-in-law, a former captain in the Israel Defense Forces, is calling for his safe return ASAP.

Moshe Lavi, the former IDF captain, says Omri was held at gunpoint by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, when he was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Moshe says Omri's wife, his sister Lishay, and the couple's 2 daughters, Roni and Alma, were also held at gunpoint with Omri before ultimately being left behind and rescued by the IDF.

Some hostages have since been released by Hamas, but Omri was not among them ... so Moshe and family members of other hostages are pressuring public officials in Israel and across the globe to do whatever is necessary to bring more hostages home.

Moshe tells TMZ ... his family hasn't received any official word of how Omri is doing in captivity, though hostages released 2 weeks ago claimed Omri was seen alive in one of the Hamas tunnels in Gaza.

Still, Moshe says just because Omri was said to be safe back then doesn't mean he's in good shape now ... as Moshe points out, "Every second in captivity is eternity" ... which is why time is of the essence here.

Of grave concern to all the families is the fact 3 of the remaining hostages were accidentally killed during IDF efforts to take out Hamas militants. The victims have been identified, and Omri is not among them.

But, Moshe is calling on public officials to work day and night to bring Omri and his fellow captives back safely to their loved ones.

Omri Miran es uno de los rehenes israelíes cautivos de Hamás y su cuñado, ex capitán de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel, pide que sea liberado cuanto antes.

Moshe Lavi, ex capitán de las FDI, dice que Omri fue retenido a punta de pistola por terroristas de Hamás el 7 de octubre, cuando fue secuestrado en su casa del kibutz Nahal Oz. Moshe dice que la esposa de Omri, su hermana Lishay y las dos hijas de la pareja, Roni y Alma, también fueron retenidas a punta de pistola con Omri antes de ser finalmente abandonadas y rescatadas por las FDI.

Algunos rehenes han sido liberados por Hamás, pero Omri no estaba entre ellos, por lo que Moshe y familiares de otros rehenes están presionando a los funcionarios públicos en Israel y en todo el mundo para hacer todo lo necesario para traer más rehenes a casa.

Moshe le dice a TMZ que su familia no ha recibido ninguna palabra oficial de cómo Omri está haciendo en cautiverio, aunque los rehenes liberados hace dos semanas afirmaron que Omri fue visto vivo en uno de los túneles de Hamás en Gaza.

Sin embargo, Moshe dice que solo porque Omri dijo que era seguro en ese entonces, no significa que esté en buena forma ahora. Como Moshe señala: "Cada segundo en cautiverio es la eternidad", por eso el tiempo es esencial aquí.

Como resultado, Moshe está pidiendo que los funcionarios públicos a trabajen día y noche para traer a Omri y a sus compañeros cautivos de vuelta a sus seres queridos.

Amanda Bynes is bringing her podcast back from the dead ... switching course and soldiering on despite saying she was going to pull the plug after just one episode.

The day after saying her new podcast was going the way of the dinosaur because of a lack of big-name guests, Amanda says she's going to continue the podcast.

Amanda says her friends convinced her to reconsider giving up so soon ... and she says she's excited to record a new episode.

Remember ... Amanda said she was going to kill the podcast after the inaugural episode because A-list musicians like Drake, Jack Harlow and Post Malone weren't lining up to join her as guests on the podcast, as she hoped.

Now, Amanda says she realizes podcasts need time to grow a following ... and those big-name guests she has on her radar might join down the road.

Of course, no matter who the guests are they won't be talking about her mental health struggles or her Hollywood career.

Still, Amanda says she has some guests lined up ... and her "Amanda Bynes and Paul Sieminski: Podcast" is doing well on Spotify early on.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is clearly recovering nicely after breaking his hip during a nasty fall last week -- 'cause he's now firing off jokes about the situation, calling himself "Humpty Kareem!"

The NBA legend shared an update on his status on his Substack page on Monday ... revealing he was actually on his way to delivering a speech at The Manhattan Transfer's concert on Friday at Disney Hall in Los Angeles when the spill happened.

"I'd like to say I fell while trying to save a child from plunging over a balcony," he wrote, "but I just tripped."

"Hard for me to accept that a once world-class athlete just stumbled. But age is the great equalizer and humbles us all."

The 76-year-old, though, shared a snap of him in a hospital bed with a huge grin -- appearing to show that his rehab is moving smoothly.

Abdul-Jabbar also thanked all the first responders who cared for him after he went down ... and he vowed to be up and at 'em again shortly.

"All my best to you from my hospital bed," he wrote. "Me and my new hip will be dancing to [The Manhattan Transfer's] tunes again."

"Well," he continued, "gently swaying."

Rejoice, Eagles fans ... Jalen Hurts has just arrived at Lumen Field despite dealing with a gnarly illness -- and, as of right now, the quarterback looks set to play in the pivotal game against the Seahawks.

Of course, about 24 hours ago, it was unclear if Philadelphians would see the sight -- because the signal-caller had reportedly been battling some bad flu-like symptoms last week that worsened overnight Saturday.

In fact, things apparently got so miserable for Hurts over the weekend, the Eagles officially downgraded his status for the Seattle game to "questionable."

However, Hurts eventually made his way to Washington on Sunday -- and on Monday afternoon, just a couple hours before "Monday Night Football" kickoff, he strolled into the stadium looking OK.

The 25-year-old rocked sunglasses and carried his own bags ... moving without any noticeable hitch in his gait.

The Eagles could certainly use his presence -- they need to keep winning if they want to hold off the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East crown.

Norman Lear, the TV icon famous for creating "All In The Family," died from heart issues ... TMZ has learned.

Norman's official cause of death is listed as cardiac arrest, according to his death certificate. The doc, obtained by TMZ, also lists congestive heart failure as an underlying cause of death.

Norman's longtime TV career gets a nod on his death certificate ... the doc notes he spent 80 years as a writer-producer in the entertainment biz.

Following his death, Norman got a touching tribute from Henry Winkler ... remembering Norman as a forward-thinking man who used art to help Americans see the best and worst in themselves.

Kate shared a positive health update over the weekend on social media, revealing she is cancer-free following successful surgery.

In a TikTok post, Kate says the procedure removed all of the cancer in her lungs ... and she says there are no further treatments needed.

Kate says she's grateful she detected the cancer early and she's thanking her doctors, nurses and fans ... saying she's excited to be out of the hospital in time to spend Christmas with her 3-year-old son.

As we reported ... Kate revealed earlier this month she had lung cancer, describing her diagnosis as a complete shock because she's not a smoker.

La estrella de "The Big Bang Theory" y comediante Kate Micucci dice que ha ganado su batalla contra el cáncer.

Mama June's granddaughters are taking their mother's death very hard ... and the family is thinking about sending them to talk with therapists.

Family sources tell TMZ ... Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's daughters are reeling from the recent loss of their mom, grieving and trying to take things day by day.

Anna died Dec. 9 and her funeral was Wednesday in Georgia, where her 11-year-old daughter Kaitlyn worked up the courage to speak.

We're told Kaitlyn had no intention of speaking at her mom's funeral, but her feelings changed when she was at the funeral home ... and she shared memories of her time with Anna, some of which brought laughs.

While Kaitlyn was able to open up and reflect at the funeral, the family is discussing the benefits of having her talk with a therapist moving forward. As we first told you, Mama June now has custody of Kaitlyn.

Our sources say Kaitlyn was very involved in Anna's cancer battle, making sure her mom took her medicine and sticking by her side throughout the process. So there's a lot to unpack.

Anna's youngest daughter is 8-year-old Kylee, who is now living with her biological father, Michael.

Because of Kylee's age, we're told it's been harder for her to understand her mom's death ... and she's been leaning on her friends for support and went back to school Friday, which the family sees as a good sign. The school had a field trip, we're told, and the family felt it was a good time for Kylee to go back.

Unclear if Kylee's dad will get her in a room with a therapist, but we're told the family wants her to at least have someone to talk to.

He was just 52 years old.

Montross was a star for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels ... winning a national championship in 1993 before playing eight seasons in the pros for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors.

"Eric was diagnosed with cancer in March 2023, and his family is grateful for the tremendous support and the truly overwhelming love expressed by so many people as he battled with his signature determination and grace."

"They also thank the many members of the medical community -- and particularly those at UNC Lineberger Cancer Center -- who matched his fight with equal passion. To know Eric was to be his friend, and the family knows that the ripples from the generous, thoughtful way that he lived his life will continue in the lives of the many people he touched with his deep and sincere kindness."

Montross was an All-American for UNC ... and received All-ACC honors in 1993 and 1994.

6:10 AM PT -- Amanda just made the difficult decision to pause her podcast after just one episode, telling fans she was unable to land the guests she'd hoped for -- including Drake and Jack Harlow.

Amanda Bynes has a new podcast, but she'll be steering clear of the mental health struggles that have overtaken her life.

Amanda tells TMZ ... she won't be talking about anything regarding her former career or personal life on "Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast" -- which includes her time in inpatient treatment and mental health centers.

She tells us the pod is focused on the guests that join her and Paul ... saying it's their careers, personal lives, and fun stories they find more interesting.

As we reported, Amanda and Paul debuted their new podcast this week, with the first episode featuring an L.A.-based tattoo artist that the former child star has known for years.

It's a big deal for AB -- as well as her fans -- marking the first time she's come back into the spotlight after dipping out of Hollywood and moving on to other ventures, like fashion.

Las nietas de Mama June se están tomando la muerte de su madre con mucho dolor y la familia está pensando en enviarlos a terapia.

Fuentes de la familia le dicen a TMZ que las hijas de Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell están bastante heridas por la reciente pérdida de su madre. El duelo ha sido muy duro y están tratando de vivir las cosas día a día.

Anna murió el 9 de diciembre y su funeral fue el miércoles en Georgia, donde su hija de 11 años de edad, Kaitlyn se armó de valor para hablar.

Nos informan que Kaitlyn no tenía intención de hablar en el funeral de su madre, pero sus sentimientos cambiaron cuando llegó a la funeraria. Allí compartió recuerdos de su tiempo con Anna, algunas anécdotas incluso causaron risas.

Aunque Kaitlyn pudo abrirse y reflexionar en el funeral, la familia está discutiendo los beneficios de que hable con un terapeuta en el futuro. Como te contamos por primera vez, Mama June tiene ahora la custodia de Kaitlyn.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kaitlyn estuvo muy involucrada en la batalla contra el cáncer de Anna, asegurándose de que su madre tomara su medicina y permaneciendo a su lado durante todo el proceso.

La hija menor de Anna es Kylee, de 8 años, que ahora vive con su padre biológico, Michael.

Nos cuentan que debido a la edad de Kylee, le ha sido más difícil procesar la muerte de su madre. Ella ha estado apoyándose en sus amigos y volvió a la escuela el viernes, lo que la familia ve como una buena señal. La escuela tenía un viaje de campo y la familia sintió que era un buen momento para que Kylee volviera.

No está claro si el padre de Kylee la llevará con un terapeuta, pero nos dicen que la familia quiere que al menos tenga a alguien con quien hablar.
