Noah Weiland is doing alright after making some nerve-wracking posts on Instagram Thursday … with a family friend coming to his aid during what seems like a time of crisis.

Tim Ryan — a friend of the Weiland clan — tells TMZ … he spent all Thursday afternoon and evening with Noah after he posted about his own death on IG, and the 25-year-old is doing fine.

We’re told the son of Scott Weiland has spoken to his mother, Mary Forsberg, since sharing the posts, and she’s aware he’s safe.

ICYMI … Noah shared a blurry gray photo with white words written on top, which began with “I’d rather be DEAD then live as my father did.” He then followed it up by writing that he can’t wait to see his dad again and thanking everyone for their support.

He also set another Instagram story post to the Green Day song “Last Night on Earth” … seemingly a foreboding message about possible suicidal ideation.

Scott Weiland — lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver — was found dead on a tour bus in 2015. He overdosed on a combination of cocaine, MDMA and alcohol. Noah recently took the stage to play some of his dad’s hits in honor of the 10th anniversary of the late star’s death.

Bijan Robinson is expressing his regret over repeating the controversial name of a playground game during an interview … saying even though he didn’t mean any disrespect by uttering “smear the queer” on live TV, it shouldn’t have come out of his mouth.

The Atlanta Falcons star was chopping it up with the Prime Video crew after his team’s big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football” … when Richard Sherman praised his ability to avoid being tackled throughout the contest.

Robinson had 93 yards and a touchdown on the ground … and 82 yards through the air in the 29-28 win.

“I recognize the mistake and make sure to do better in the future. It was not reflective of my beliefs and I am so sorry to those I offended seriously!”

Here’s the thing — the name for the keep-away game has been phased out over the years out of respect for the LGBTQ+ community … and has since been replaced by more accepted titles.

There has been a debate over whether its origin had any derogatory intent to begin with … but either way, folks have substituted it for the modern-day names.

Aubrey O’Day had a recent medical scare … and that’s the reason she had to skip the Danity Kane reunion show Wednesday in Los Angeles, a stop on the group’s comeback tour.

On her Instagram Story, Aubrey explained she was hospitalized after feeling sick all day … fighting her undisclosed symptoms until she finally had to go to the ER — saying she was “heartbroken” to let fans down.

Aundrea Fimbres and D. Woods ended up performing as a duo at the El Rey Theatre … the second stop on Danity Kane’s “The Untold Chapter” tour, which was announced in October.

Aubrey has been in the news lately because she appeared in 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary on Netflix … reading a sexually charged email allegedly from Diddy … and said she believes she was fired from the “Making the Band 3” group because she refused to sleep with him.

Along with the health scare … the singer posted to IG on Thursday that it had been a “heavy time” for her — and that it was stressful for fans to finally hear in the Netflix doc “things that were hard for me to say.”
