The legendary actor, 98, has canceled his upcoming appearance at the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.

In a statement posted on X and Facebook, the convention announced, “We are sorry to announce that Dick Van Dyke is not able to travel to FanX. He expresses his gratitude to all of those who support him but, at almost 99 years of age, traveling and interacting with thousands of people is more than he is able to do at this time.”

This cancellation comes after Van Dyke missed the 2024 Emmy Awards, where he was scheduled to present.

However, he attended the 2024 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 7, where his birthday special, Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic, won outstanding variety special (pre-recorded).

Van Dyke spoke to reporters, “I hope to be remembered for making people laugh for 75 years.”

He offered advice to upcoming actors, “You have to stick with it. You’re gonna go through hard times and a lot of auditions … but you have to stay with it. Be patient if you’ve got the confidence in yourself, and it’s very important to believe that you can do it.”

Van Dyke recently became the oldest Daytime Emmy winner, taking home best guest performer in a daytime drama series for Days of Our Lives.

He shared with People magazine, “This nomination is very exciting; after all, it took me 75 years and my pal Drake Hogestyn to get on a soap opera! He is really the reason this happened and deserves the credit and thanks.”

Julianne Hough shared her experience attending a wedding with her ex-husband, Brooks Laich, and his girlfriend, Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir.

On The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, Hough described the encounter, “It was so beautiful. It was so beautiful.”

She reflected on her personal growth, “And again, like I’m in this place where I now feel like I’m just beginning with so much wisdom, with so much insight, with so much compassion and so much empathy and understanding of like, what’s possible.”

Hough emphasised her desire for a fulfilling life, “I don’t want a perfect life, I want a full, beautiful, connected life.”

She valued experiencing a range of emotions, “You feel joy because you feel sorrow, you feel all these things because you have the spectrum to feel it. You have the space to feel it, and that, I think, is what we’re here to experience, is the fullness of life.”

Hough and Laich married in 2017 and separated in 2020, finalizing their divorce in 2022.

Laich now dates Davíðsdóttir, going Instagram official in August 2021.

Hough seeks someone aligning with her “non-negotiables” in her next partnership:

“Living and vibrating in the place of my most authentic self for that to be what attracts whoever it is, versus I’m gonna put what I think I want and need out there and then literally force create it.”

A source said that the exes didn’t tie the knot with a prenuptial agreement in place.

“The papers also mentioned that Ben and the JLo would split attorneys’ fees, and that the Maid in Manhattan actress wanted her last name restored.

Another source shared that the former couple “were still moving forward with the divorce and working out financial details amicably”.

“They all came together for a fun lunch so the kids could hang out,” continued an insider.

Lily Collins has recently recalled attending first Phil Collins’ Genesis concert during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live.

“You know the funny thing is that I have these memories as a kid of songs that I don’t know if they’re actually real,” said the Emily in Paris star.

Lily told the host, “Because they were like, in my head, as I was maybe in the womb.”

The actress explained, “But then when I went to the first Genesis concert that I actually remembered as an adult, there were songs that came on that I went, ‘That’s a real song?’”

“I thought that was just a melody in my head,” she remarked.

Lily admitted, “It was really weird.”

The actress shared her favourite Phil’s song, saying, “Probably ‘In the Air Tonight,’ there’s too many.”

Lily, who is the daughter of Phil and Jill Tavelman, spoke to Glamour about not changing her last name.

“I’m so incredibly proud of what my surname represents, for what my dad’s done,” she told the outlet.

The Love Rosie actress continued, “And I’m an incredibly proud daughter, but I am going on my own path, my own journey. I didn’t want to change my last name.”

“I so badly wanted to always fight that, because it wasn’t the place that I was coming from. And so, I am really proud of where I am today because I know how hard I work,” she added.
