Wendy Williams sounds just like her old self, and she doesn't deserve to be locked up in a conservatorship that's bordering on a jail sentence ... so says the comedian Luenell.

We caught up with the comedian in Inglewood Thursday -- just days after we chatted with her at LAX -- and, Luenell says she's been blessed to have a real talk with Wendy on the phone.

She tells us Wendy sounded like the "old Wendy" -- totally and completely fine during their call ... and, Luenell even says she's clean and sober, which is good for everyone around her.

Trace Cyrus is deeply concerned about Billy Ray Cyrus' achy breaky everything ... on the heels of his dad's disastrous inauguration performance.

The country crooner's eldest son reached out to him in an emotional plea Wednesday night, begging him to get the help he needs following his attempt to perform at one of President Donald Trump's inauguration balls.

While Billy Ray coped with technical issues, and an apparently hoarse throat ... Trace is saying there's something deeper troubling his father. He says, "You're not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it," and fears the world may lose Billy Ray "far too soon."

Bhad Bhabie is showing off her healing nose after undergoing plastic surgery ... and taking the opportunity to reveal the type of cancer she has.

The rapper hopped on her Instagram Story Tuesday night to give a glimpse of her "so swollen" nose six days after going under the knife, telling fans nose jobs "are not for the weak!!"

The healing process looks serious ... in addition to having a temporarily enlarged nose, BB has bruising under both her eyes. She also gave fans a look at her sniffer before and after the surgery, explaining she "wanted to remove the hump."

NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan says he was left in a state of panic after his daughter, Isabella, was diagnosed with cancer ... but her dedication to defeating the disease helped calm his nerves.

The Super Bowl champ and his two daughters, Isabella and Sophia, spoke with People in an interview released on Wednesday ... and shared the emotional details behind Isabella's medical discovery in 2023 -- medulloblastoma, a tumor in the cerebellum.

Strahan -- who played 15 seasons with the New York Giants -- was shocked by the news ... admitting he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The Nike sneakers Kobe Bryant wore during one of the most iconic moments of his career are up for grabs ... and TMZ Sports has learned the one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia could go for more than half a million dollars!!

The size 13 Kobe 8 Elites Bryant wore during the Lakers vs. Warriors game on April 12, 2013 are hitting the auction block ... the same matchup where the late Hall of Famer tore his Achilles in the fourth quarter, but nailed two free throws before limping off the court.

It was a true display of Bryant's toughness ... as he clearly was down for the count, but made sure to do his job at the charity stripe to tie the game at 109 with three minutes left.

Ryan Seacrest better hit the gym if "Wheel of Fortune" contestants keep pouncing on him ... 'cause one of 'em knocked him down on his ass while celebrating!

Here's how it all went down ... contestant Daniel Thomas was trying to solve a 7-letter word on Tuesday night's episode to win $40,000 during the show's bonus round.

Ryan kicked things off with the standard offering -- "R, S, T, L, N, E" -- in the "Living Things" category with "S" and "E' appearing on the big board.

Comedian Luenell is taking shots at the conservatorship controlling Wendy Williams' life ... going as far as to call the TV personality's legal guardian "the devil."

We caught up with the comedian at LAX following Wendy's recent pleas for freedom -- in which she compared her current treatment to prison -- and the actress made it clear she supports her friend 100 percent.

As Luenell sees it ... Wendy wasn't hurting anyone but herself before she was put into a court-appointed conservatorship in 2022 ... defending Wendy's situation is unacceptable, comparing it to Diddy's even -- who is currently incarcerated while awaiting his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

Talk about a "holy s***" moment ... check out this insane video of a boy in China getting literally blown off his feet after a sewer explodes underneath him.

The wild footage was shot last Friday by a witness in China's Gansu Province, where you see the youngster walk up to a sewer opening and drop a firecracker inside.

Suddenly, the street detonates beneath his feet, sending him flying high into the air with all the debris. Soon, the kid comes crashing back down to earth on cement steps, causing him to suffer serious injuries.

Wendy Williams sounds like the same person she was 10 years ago and is not showing a hint of disability ... so says TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin, who just spent 90 minutes with her on the phone.

Harvey's shocked the person he spoke with is under a guardianship that has stripped her of her personal and financial freedom. She was lucid, articulate, opinionated and with it ... a far cry from the picture being painted by her guardianship's attorney, who says she is permanently disabled with frontal lobe dementia.

Wendy showed no lapse in judgment, no hesitation at all. Charlamagne Tha God was on the call as well, and Harvey co-signs on his assessment that Wendy is a far cry from disabled.

Wendy Williams is hitting back at her guardianship attorney's claim about her supposed "good days and bad days" ... saying the statement is actually a bunch of hogwash.

The legendary TV personality tells TMZ ... Roberta Kaplan, who is the attorney representing the guardianship in its lawsuit against the makers of the "Where Is Wendy Williams?" series, has no business commenting on her mental state ... as she's never even met the lawyer.

She adds ... "How would she know that? I’ve never met Roberta Kaplan and I have never talked with her. I’m isolated and locked away in a luxury prison. So much for the Me Too movement."

Roberta Kaplan is the attorney for the Wendy Williams guardianship, not for Wendy, personally.

Wendy Williams has some good and some bad days when it comes to her health, but people should not assume she's totally fine just because she's doing interviews ... so says her lawyer.

Roberta Kaplan, Wendy's attorney, tells us ... Wendy is still dealing with frontal lobe dementia -- a neurological disease with no cure.

Roberta says that's why a NY state court found her unable to make legal and financial decisions on her own, and -- due to the degenerative nature of the disease -- she will require care for the remainder of her life.

Bruce Willis is thanking first responders in Los Angeles after wildfires took a toll on the city ... and he's making an extremely rare appearance in public.

The actor's wife, Emma Heming, just shared video of Bruce shaking hands and chatting up a couple LAPD officers on the streets of L.A.

Bruce is hardly ever seen in public these days in the wake of his dementia diagnosis. His wife and kids share photos of him every so often at family events, but we don't really see him outside anymore.

Wendy Williams says her "life is f***ed up" and feels like she's trapped in a prison ... and it's all due to her being stuck in a conservatorship, despite not being "cognitively impaired."

In a rare interview, Wendy opens up about her lack of well-being on "The Breakfast Club," where she went in depth about how she's been mistreated over the past three years by her conservator, Sabrina Morrissey.

Wendy called in to the popular radio show, since she was unable to leave what's described as a "luxury prison." Wendy was joined on the call by her niece, Alex, who helped expand on Wendy's poor living conditions.

Kelly Stafford says she felt massive guilt bringing her sick children aboard the L.A. Rams charter flight ... knowing the players had a hugely important playoff game on the horizon!

Stafford opened up on the situation on the latest episode of "The Morning After" ... just days after she documented her daughters' sickness on social media in the leadup to the Wild Card tilt vs. the Vikings.

"We were sick on that flight," Stafford said, "and there was a huge guilt factor to me going 'should we be on this plane right now because everyone surrounding us and everyone who has to play this game?'"

Prince William was cheesin' big time at a royal outing, just a day after his wife, Kate Middleton, revealed to the world she's in cancer remission.

William attended the inaugural Emergency and Critical Care Conference in Birmingham, England on Wednesday ... rocking his new title as Patron of the College of Paramedics -- a role that hits home after everything Kate's been through.

William mingled with College of Paramedics leaders from all corners of the field -- the whole initiative dedicated to making sharp calls in high-pressure situations. William likely drew on his experience as a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue pilot and with the East Anglian Air Ambulance crew to connect with the paramedics.
