The guy who made Fashion Santa world famous last year is in the cold -- North Pole-like cold -- because the mall that turned him into a sensation has cast him aside for this year's version.

Paul Mason thought the moniker was all his, so imagine his chagrin when he found out Toronto's Yorkdale mall hired a new guy for the job. Paul thought he had an air-tight case to block the new St. Nick, but he was asleep at the wheel. While he made assumptions, Yorkdale trademarked "Fashion Santa."

Yorkdale claims it was actually open to re-hiring Paul for the 2016 XMAS season, but he didn't return their calls ... so they moved on to a new model -- Adam Martin.

"Fashion Santa" has been a big attraction at the mall the past 2 Christmas seasons ... celebs like Justin Bieber sought out selfies with the slimmer, much hunkier St. Nick. Only time will tell if fans will embrace the FS reboot.

Kanye West is in a bad mental state ... and sources familiar with the situation tell us his hospitalization is far from over.

Our sources say as of Wednesday morning it appeared he would stay at UCLA Medical Center until at least week's end. We're told some members of Kanye's family wanted him home for Thanksgiving and felt it would do him good, but as of yesterday that looked improbable.

TMZ broke the story ... Kanye's doctor told cops he was suffering from a temporary psychosis brought on by sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration, but we're told the problems go much deeper.

A well-connected Kanye source tells us Kanye's psychological problems are significant enough so that his insurance policy -- which covers lost profits and financial obligations for cancelled concerts due to illness -- will almost certainly cover the losses for the 21 concerts he's cancelled.

Jared Fogle, Brendan Dassey and a bunch of other famous prisoners may have given up many of their inalienable rights, but not the right to get the bird on Turkey Day.

We surveyed the landscape, and here's what the joints are offering for Thanksgiving dinner:

Brendan Dassey (Wisconsin)
The "Making a Murderer" star gets roasted turkey with giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, biscuits, pumpkin pie with crust on top, veggie salad and chocolate milk.

Suge Knight (Los Angeles)
Suge's meal is similar to Dassey's, but he gets a dinner roll instead of a biscuit and a pumpkin muffin instead of pie ... and milk without the chocolate.

Kevin Gates (Florida)
The rapper also gets a traditional meal, but add corn and a fruit turnover to the spread. Sorry, no milk. Gates' prison also serves a vegetarian option of rice, beans and fruit.

Joe Giudice & Apollo Nida (New Jersey)
The 'Real Housewives' hubbies will chow down on a traditional meal, cafeteria-style, that includes stuffing and dessert.

Amy Schumer's mannequin challenge was both an enormous fail and maybe the most entertaining yet.

Amy tried her luck at Schwa Restaurant in Chicago Wednesday, and even though she's a big star she had significant trouble in the cooperation dept.

Sometimes pictures tell life stories, and this one sure does.

Gwyneth Paltrow posted this pic of ex-hubby Chris Martin hugging 10-year-old Moses, adding, "Here's to reunions, togetherness, family, and love love love. Happy thanksgiving eve, everyone. Love, gp."

They do divorce right.

Tyga's birthday was full of surprises Friday night ... he got himself a brand new lawsuit, and it was even hand delivered.

Kylie's BF rolled into Penthouse nightclub in WeHo when a guy popped out of nowhere and served him with legal docs. The process server was unceremoniously and forcibly removed.

As for why Tyga got served ... it could be the Lambo, the Maybach, the Ferrari, jewelry, a home ... who knows?

Before you stuff yourself with Thanksgiving snacks squeeze into these skin-tight shots of stars in Spanx and see if you can guess the celebs in the plump pics.

Jamie Foxx will not reprieve his rendition of the National Anthem for Donald Trump's inauguration, and even though he won't say why ... it's not hard to read between the lines.

Jamie was strolling Bedford Dr. in Bev Hills Wednesday when our photog recalled his controversial performance last year at the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.

The singer/actor/athlete was sketchy, but his Barbra Streisand reference made it pretty clear ... not a huge Trump fan.

Mouse House fans will be able to get their hands on a rare piece of memorabilia when Walt Disney's last will and testament -- or the first draft, anyway -- auctions off for an estimated $60k!

The will was drafted in August 1941 and includes this interesting breakdown: half of his personal Disney stock was split between his 2 kids, and the other half he dropped in an "employees bonus pool." The doc isn't his final will ... Disney drafted 2 more before he died in 1966.

Profiles in History is unloading several other collector's items for animation fans, and conservative final bid estimates range from $12k up to $80k:

- Original "Peanuts" comic strips signed by Charles Schultz ($12,000)
- Wicked Queen art from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" ($15,000)
- Grinch and Max production cels from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" ($12,000)
- Walt Disney Legal License for Use of Walt Disney Inc. ($80,000)

There's a ton more available, including animation cels, when online and live bidding begins Dec. 9.

R&B singer Sevyn Streeter says she's taking the Philadelphia 76ers up on their offer to redo the national anthem ... and she'll proudly wear the 'We Matter' jersey that sparked the controversy.

Sixers brass came under fire by activists -- and their own players -- when Streeter's opening day anthem performance was nixed because of the jersey ... which was an endorsement of Black Lives Matter.

The team quickly reversed its position, apologized and offered Sevyn the chance to sing again, but the question was ... would she or wouldn't she?

We spoke with her (and her good friend boxer Andre Berto) and she told us she definitely WILL ... coming back to belt out the song on December 16th ... and she'll be decked out in her convictions.

It’s the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Washington Redskins in the ultimate Thanksgiving showdown ... the battle for hottest cheerleaders!

Flip through the game-time gallery and vote for your favorite squad.

Not Tom Brady. Not Matt Ryan. Not Matthew Stafford ... not even Ezekiel Elliott.

The guy who deserves the NFL MVP award this season is Dak Prescott, period ... so says Jamie Foxx.

A Martha Stewart Living folding chair almost did in a woman who just wanted to sit ... so she claims in a new lawsuit.

Gina Currie claims she bought a wicker folding patio dining chair at Home Depot. The chair was manufactured by Martha's company, so what could go wrong?

Currie claims she took a seat 2 years ago, when the welds of the support bar failed and she went crashing to the ground, causing her serious injuries.

The customer is not only going after Martha's company, she's gunning for Home Depot, claiming the store should have known it was hawking a faulty chair.

And this is interesting ... the chair's been discontinued from Martha's line.

We reached out to Martha Stewart Living and Home Depot ... so far, no word back.

The L.A. Mission had celebrities giving back for Thanksgiving by rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands deep in mashed potatoes and gravy.

Stars like Emmy Rossum, Ali Landry, Garcelle Beauvais and 'Walking Dead' actor Tom Payne joined current L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in helping serve Turkey Day meals to the less fortunate.

Even former Laker Derek Fisher got in on the action.
