Lindsay Lohan didn't let a little thing like getting a huge chunk of her finger chopped off ... stop her from charity work.

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, she had surgery over the weekend -- you can see the (still gnarly) results in the photos we got -- and on Tuesday she was helping resettle displaced refugees again.

She took her bandaged hand to Sultanbeyli, met with the mayor and helped move a family into a new home.

A$AP Rocky just hooked up the homie Lil Uzi Vert with a chain for the ages ... that even looks like the up-and-coming rapper.

Uzi's chain is made up of 10,000 diamonds and gems -- including pink, sapphire, white, canary and chocolate diamonds -- and features Gucci links like Pharrell's famous necklace. The ice didn't come cheap -- we are told it's worth around $100k!

Custom jeweler Ben Baller of IF & Co. tells TMZ ... he considers this one of the top 3 chains he's ever done. He made it for Uzi after meeting him through his business partner, A$AP. We're told A$AP and Travis Barker vouched for Uzi, and the deal was done.

Ben says Lil Uzi's already ordered a 2nd chain, but this one's gonna be hard to top.

Kid Cudi has checked himself into rehab for depression and suicidal thoughts.

The rapper entered Monday, saying he hasn't felt at peace for years and made the decision to get help for himself, his family, his best friend/daughter and his fans. Cudi continues, "I would've done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life."

Cudi says his upcoming music will still be released as planned and he wanted to finish up all business before starting to focus on his recovery.

You'll remember ... Cudi lashed out at mentor Kanye West and Drake last month for not working with him and using others to write songs. 'Ye responded to the rapper at a recent show, telling him to "Respect the God!"

It's interesting -- it was announced in early September Cudi was to be replaced by Romeo on "Empire" -- but it's unclear if his depression played a part in that decision. We spoke with Romeo at LAX who said the move was strictly business and there were no hard feelings between the two.

KC finished his announcement with, "I really am sorry. Ill be back, stronger, better. Reborn. I feel like s***, I feel so ashamed. Im sorry."

Sad news ... the NBA player who was called out on Instagram for allegedly cheating on his Playboy Playmate girlfriend ... has been dumped for good.

You remember the story ... 2014 Playmate of the Year Kennedy Summers put Utah Jazz center Jeff Withey on blast back in June when she found out he took someone else on a movie date behind her back.

Somehow, Jeff won her back and they got engaged the following month.

But now, their relationship has hit a roadblock once again -- with Kennedy calling the whole thing off ... citing "many issues." We're told jealousy was a factor.

In fact, Kennedy's rep, Zack Teperman, issued a statement saying social media played a huge role in the split.

"While it has its many pros, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. can also create many issues within a relationship. The negative effects of social media have claimed yet another couple."

Kennedy -- a 3rd year medical student -- has already moved out of the couple's home.

So ... PLAYMATE AND NBA PLAYER ON THE MARKET!!!!

10:07 AM PT -- Azria's attorney, Marty Singer, tells TMZ: "The lawsuit filed against Max Azria is a bogus lawsuit by a foreign billionaire couple who used a British Virgin Islands entity as the tenant. During the entire 3 month rental, the tenants never made any complaints of rats, dog feces or the other claims. In fact, they remained in the house for the entire lease period, hardly the behavior of a tenant who disliked the house. The tenants made major changes to the house, without the landlord’s consent, to accommodate their personal tastes."

He adds, "My client intends to sue the tenants for damages they caused to the property and we are confident we will prevail in this action."

Famed BCBG founder Max Azria promised to serve up grand amenities in a mansion, but instead delivered a colony of rats, dog poop and more -- so claims a former tenant in a lawsuit.

A company called Tres Hollywood brokered a lease for a client, who says she found a disaster zone when she moved into the designer's 17 bedroom, 22 bath Bel-Air estate -- for a whopping $500k a month, mind you. Plus $500k deposit!

Tres says it was overrun with rats and ants. Throw in mold, non-working toilets, no hot water and broken appliances -- according to docs -- and suddenly the dog feces and urine stench might not seem so bad.

Tres says Azria refuses to return the deposit on the place, which is currently listed for $88 million. It's suing for the $500k plus repair costs and penalties -- all told they want more than $1 million.

We've reached out to Azria, so far no word back.

HERE'S THE RUNDOWN

Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jill, are back together, and their first order of business -- dumping the pad Jill bought when they were on the verge of divorce.

Jill swooped the 2 story Pacific Palisades home last summer for $6.1 million -- when she and Patrick were in the throes of the breakup -- and now she's unloaded it for $7.575 mil. The deal closed on Tuesday.

Pretty sweet temporary housing for Jill -- 5 beds, 5 baths with 6,135 square feet of space, and a full extra guest house out back. Not to mention pool and spa, cathedral ceilings and its own library.

Now she's passed on all that luxury -- because of her agents, Brett Lawyer and Barbara Boyle -- to continue life with Dr. McDreamy. The tidy profit doesn't hurt either.

Paul McCartney can still shake it out like his Beatles days, and we got video of him proving it for Persian Rosh Hashanah.

Sir Paul hit the dance floor at a pal's Rosh celebration Sunday night in Bev Hills. He's got his big Desert Trip concert coming up this weekend, but we'll go ahead and assume this was not a rehearsal. Watch, you'll agree.

He was definitely loosening up though after seder, which we're told was stocked with the usual Persian delicacies ... apples and honey, beef tongue and stew.

Kim Kardashian's armed robbery might be a total fabrication according to a U.S. Supreme Court Justice ... who actually brought up the incident during oral arguments.

The SUPCO was hearing a case on Tuesday where a guy from Cali is arguing it wasn't bank fraud when he drained someone's bank account ... because the bank's money is insured.

Justice Stephen Breyer jumped on the opportunity to show off his pop culture prowess, saying ... "Even Kardashian's thief, if there is one, believes that all that jewelry is insured. So, it's not theft?"

Breyer extended his metaphor, saying even if the Kardashian krooks posed as jewelry cleaners ... "Wouldn't you think that was fraud?" He went on to make a crack about her jewelry possibly being on loan, and not hers at all ... metaphorically speaking.

Model Damaris Lewis -- who was a Prince backup dancer -- wants the opening of his museum to be pushed back out of respect for those who are still mourning ... like herself.

Damaris was one of Prince's muses in his final months and says she's not against the Paisley Park Museum altogether because she believes Prince's legacy needs to be honored. Her issue is timing.

She kinda got her wish. Paisley Park's gates were originally set to swing open to the public Tuesday, but the local city council put the kibosh on it out of fears Chanhassen, MN would be overrun with tourists. The council's now granted temporary approval for limited tours.

Rihanna's gonna get all wet -- and probably (fake) bloody -- when she steps into the infamous "Psycho" shower, and her "Bates Motel" director is so psyched.

Nestor Carbonell stars on the show, but will also be directing RiRi's upcoming episode where she plays Marion Crane ... the character in that legendary shower stabbing. We got him out in L.A. -- walking his dog -- and tried to find out if he's going for a straight remake or putting a new twist on the scene.

Check it out ... Nestor does spill at least one big deet.

The guys who rushed Ryan Lochte on "Dancing With the Stars" now have to steer clear of him until their trial, and they're also banned from some good eats and shopping.

A judge has ordered Sam Sotoodeh and Barzeen Soroudi to stay 300 yards away from Ryan, and since their attack/protest went down on the CBS Lot ... they're persona non grata at CBS Studios, CBS Television City, and the L.A. office for BBC Productions.

One more swift kick in the ass for 'em -- the judge's order also includes The Grove shopping center and the Farmers Market off Fairfax, which are both right next to the 'DWTS' studio.

That hurts almost as much as getting tackled by giant security guards.

1:21 PM PT -- Johnny is denying EVERYTHING ... telling TMZ Sports the allegations are bogus.

"I never rented a house in the hills," Manziel says.

"I've been staying with a friend when I've been in L.A. which, as of late, has not been much. This guy is upset with a friend of mine and dragging me into it."

Johnny Manziel is accused of trashing one of the most famous homes in the Hollywood Hills -- with the owner telling TMZ Sports the ex-QB has turned it into "the worst frat house you've ever seen."

Here's the deal ... celebrity real estate magnate Danny Fitzgerald says he rented his legendary Weidlake mansion out to a guy named Bryan Chase back in July -- only to learn Johnny and his pal, OVO Ryan, moved in too.

FYI, the property has been used in TONS of TV shows including "American Idol" -- and has been rented by huge stars like The Weeknd and Ne-Yo (who Fitzgerald described as "great" tenants).

Fitzgerald says Johnny had been footing the bills -- paying the $25,000 per month rent and all of the utilities with checks with his name on it. But he's several days past due on the October rent so Fitzgerald sent him a pay or get out notice.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg -- Fitzgerald says the guys have been raising hell in the home and pissing off the neighbors.

In fact, Fitzgerald says the cops have been to the home several times to deal with raging parties.

Plus, Fitzgerald says the home has been trashed ... with more than $180k in damages to windows, doors and more.

"It's like this is a movie about a frat house ... but the worst frat house you have ever seen. It's like Charles Manson is living here."

Fitzgerald says he plans to sue.

We reached out to Manziel for comment -- so far, no word back.

Kim Kardashian's confident she'll get back her multi-million dollar ring because it's very rare with unique identifiers.

Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she believes if anyone tries to sell the ring they'll find it. The police report she filed includes the diamond's inscription number and other markers that will raise red flags if it ends up on the market.

The Gemological Institute of America says inscribed diamonds have a microscopic number laser-inscripted on the girdle of the stone. Once a police report is filed, any lost diamonds would be flagged in the system, and if they pop up for a cleaning, grading or possible sale ... police are called.

Even if the inscription is scratched off, rings like Kim's can be identified by special internal characteristics of the diamond ... according to the GIA.

It's not foolproof, of course. Big diamonds can be crushed into several pieces so they're less traceable -- and if crooks avoid legit jewelers ... there's less chance anyone reports a run-in with the stolen rock.

Bottom line: Kim needs the thieves to make a dumb move in order to get back the diamond.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had Rosh Hashanah dinner with someone who knows a thing or two about eating ... the dude from "Epic Meal Time"!

Harley Morenstein and Trudeau are fellow Canadians and family friends. As the Jewish half of the duo, it fell on Harley to teach the PM all "aboot" the holiday. We're told Trudeau joined the party at Harley's brother's house in Ottawa ... and dug into apples and honey, Challah bread ... the whole nine.

JT had a front row seat for the blowing of the shofar, but passed on blowing it himself. Still, wine, laughs and based on the pics ... a wonderful time with a nice Jewish family.
