There’s a troubling update on Quinton Aaron’s health after his recent hospitalization ... TMZ has learned doctors have found a rare cyst on his spine.

Family sources tell TMZ the cyst was discovered after a series of tests, and doctors are now running more exams to determine whether it’s benign.

We’re told back surgery is now on the table ... and if that happens, the 40-year-old actor will face extensive physical therapy and could be confined to a wheelchair for some time.

The mayor of a small town in the Philippines was attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade in an apparent assassination attempt and lived to tell the tale ... and it looks like his armored car saved his life.

Ya gotta see this crazy footage out of Shariff Aguak in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ... a white van stops on the side of the road, two men hop out with a rocket launcher and fire a grenade at the mayor's Toyota Land Cruiser.

The RPG explodes under the armored car, and a fireball leads to a huge cloud of smoke ... but the Toyota is able to drive away to safety!!!

YouTube star Adam the Woo died from natural causes, TMZ has learned.

A rep for Florida's Orange County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... Adam died of "atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease with obesity."

Adam's dad, Jim Williams, reached out to fans in a Facebook post Monday, writing, "Our beloved Son . . . your beloved friend . . . died, in essence, of a heart attack in his sleep from health issues he probably never knew he had."

He continued ... "Now, we can all stop guessing. Be grateful the Lord allowed him to die at home and not in a foreign country. Be grateful he was found by friends (as hard as that was) and not some nameless stranger."

As we reported, Adam died December 22. Deputies initially went to his Orlando, Florida home for a welfare check, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet must've packed light for their trip to Los Cabos, because they went shopping for some sexy swimwear ... and it's all on video.

Check out this viral footage showing Kylie and Timothée browsing around a clothing shop in Mexico this weekend ... they go straight for the bikini section, and TC helps KJ pick out the perfect piece.

We saw Timothée wearing the same hat around a Cabo marina, and we've seen Kylie rocking a skimpy black swim top at their swanky, oceanfront resort ... but it's unclear if Kylie purchased that bikini on this shopping excursion.

Move over EDC, move over Insomniac, because we have a new EDM festival in town ... "TMZ After Dark!"

Friday night was hosted by pop-alt singer Nikki Paige and DJ'ed by the enigmatic DJ Eveready, who quite literally turned the bus into a music festival on wheels. Nikki performed her original music while everyone got TURNT.

Dare we say, we had our first-ever mosh pit on the TMZ bus? And just looking at a clip of everyone vibing makes you wonder: Is "TMZ After Dark" bringing L.A. nightlife back?!

People were dressed like they were going to a music festival like Coachella or something, even having a raver-esque dance party outside the bus!

Djimon Hounsou's baby mama, Ri'za Marie Simpson, was arrested for alleged assault earlier this month ... but Ri'za just told a judge she's the one who needs protection from Djimon.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Ri'za says she was wrongfully arrested and has suffered financial abuse and an attempted illegal eviction at the hand of Djimon.

Ri'za also claims Djimon slammed a vehicle door on her left side, screamed in her face and called her names during an incident in December ... and says there was a separate incident in October when Djimon got in her face in front of their children. Ri'za claims Djimon began to "come at" her, yelling and standing nose-to-nose with her in the heated exchange.

The judge ended up granting the temporary protective order, which requires Djimon to not have any contact with Ri'za and stay 200 yards from Ri'za and the children ... at least until a hearing in early February.

Christian Combs isn't taking 50 Cent's recent online digs lying down ... he's hitting back at the "senior citizen" by bringing up his baby mama!

Here's the deal ... 50 Cent shared a clip of Christian trying to get a "Bad Boy" chant started at a recent concert -- which went over like a lead balloon and made for a hilariously awkward moment.

50 captioned the post, "Damn 👀his timing was just a little off. 😳" ... which got fans cackling online. Christian, however, wasn't snickering -- he was crafting his own roast online.

Robert Ri'chard and Juliah Cheree Taylor were fatally ours this weekend ... killing it while hosting the "TMZ After Dark" tour this weekend -- and, we've got video of the exciting evening out!

The stars hopped on our bus Saturday night to take our riders to some of the best bars L.A. had to offer ... while also talking about their new movie "Fatally Yours," which is set to come out later this year.

DJ Blue played the tunes on the bus ... getting people out of the benches and dancing on the way to the Burgundy Room -- one of Hollywood's oldest and coolest bars -- where all of our riders got a complimentary green tea shot.

Aaron Paul wants out of the L.A. real estate market badly ... bringing the listing price of his L.A. mansion down to $8.1 million after initially asking for nearly $10 million.

The actor relisted the home a few days ago after taking it off the market in November ... and, he's now asking for $8,195,000.

ICYMI ... Aaron first listed the home over the summer with an initial asking price of $9,995,000 ... a price that decreased steadily to $8,995,000 over the next four months before it was removed from the market.

Ernie Hudson is filling in for the late Carl Weathers by voicing Combat Carl in the upcoming "Toy Story 5" ... but Ernie told us he was the last to know!

We caught up with the 80-year-old actor Monday outside NBC in NYC, where we asked him when he found out he was taking over for Carl.

He answered ... "Not until I actually started working. And the studio didn't tell me but the fans did. The fans are amazing. They know more than I do."

Having watched all of the "Toy Story" movies, Ernie said, "I was very happy to be included but I didn't know I was stepping in for Carl, who was a good friend."

Kendall Jenner is officially in on the joke -- and she’s using the Super Bowl spotlight to poke fun at one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan's most infamous pop-culture myths.

In a new Fanatics Sportsbook ad, Kendall leans straight into the so-called "Kardashian Curse," the long-running internet theory that athletes' careers mysteriously nosedive after dating someone from the famous family.

"Haven't you heard? The internet says I'm cursed," she says in the spot. "Any basketball player who dates me kind of hits ... a rough patch."

Celebs are flocking to Utah for one last take at the Sundance Film Festival before it packs up and moves to Colorado ... and it's not just movie stars wrapping things up.

As you know ... Sydney snuck up an L.A. mountain a few days ago, climbed the iconic HOLLYWOOD Sign, and decorated it with bras ... all to promote her new business venture.
