  • Dick Van Dyke Cancels Appearance Due to Undiagnosed Neurological Disorder

    Dick Van Dyke (Kevin Mazur/WireImage)Funnyman Dick Van Dyke isn't laughing right now.

    The 87-year-old actor, best known for his own "Dick Van Dyke Show" in the '60s, the crime drama "Diagnosis Murder" in the '90s, and movies such as "Mary Poppins" and "Night at the Museum," has canceled an appearance in New York next week because of fatigue and other symptoms caused by a "yet-to-be diagnosed neurological disorder," his rep told "Entertainment Tonight." Based on the advice of his doctor, Van Dyke will not be able to travel from his home in Malibu, California, to the 92nd Street Y in New York, where he will be honored with the organization's first Lifetime Achievement Award for Bettering Humanity Through Comedy.

  • Kristen Stewart Channels ‘Rebel Without a Cause’

    Kristen Stewart has embraced the Hollywood norm of wearing high-end fashion on the red carpet, but she's still a rebel at heart.

    The "Twilight" star showed off her tomboy side on Wednesday when she wore a plain white T-shirt, rolled-up jeans, and her beloved Chuck Taylors as she took out the trash at her home in the hipster Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A. Although it almost certainly was due to her nasty smoking habit and unintentional, Stewart, with a cigarette tucked between her lips, channeled James Dean in the iconic movie "Rebel Without a Cause."

  • Octavia Spencer: I’m Grateful Success Didn’t Happen at 22

    Octavia Spencer arrives at the 2013 Oscars. (Gregg DeGuire/WireImage)Octavia Spencer worked in Hollywood for 16 years before she became a household name.

    She appeared in "E.R.," movies like "Big Momma's House," and many, many more TV shows and films before landing the role in "The Help" that won her the Best Supporting Actress Oscar last year. The surprising thing is that she wouldn't have had it any other way.

    "I think [success] came at the right time," Spencer tells omg!. "I think success happens when it's supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn't happen for me at 22 or 23. I would've been foolish enough to think that we're all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is."

    The 42-year-old explains that the movie -- in which she portrays Minny, a woman taking care of the homes and children of white families in pre-Civil Rights Era Jackson, Mississippi -- brought her much more than accolades.

    "I'm still good friends with Viola [Davis] and Emma [Stone], Jessica [Chastain] -- we were a tight-knit

  • Former Sexiest Man Alive Bradley Cooper Lives With His Mom

    Bradley Cooper covers Details. (Mark Seliger/Details)Bradley Cooper, the one-time Sexiest Man Alive, has been romantically linked to women such as Zoe Saldana, Renée Zellweger, and Jennifer Lopez.

    And yet the woman he's spending much of his time with these days is … his mom. The 38-year-old is sharing an address with his mother Gloria following his father's death, and he explains how that's working out for him in a new interview with Details.

    "The best way I can answer that is to say we're surviving. Both of us," the "Place Beyond the Pines" star tells the mag. "Let's face it: It's probably not easy for her, by the way, to be living with her son. It's life. And right now, two years after my father's death, this is where we are. My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us. It was a schism, and its aftershock has not stopped. And we need each other. So here we are."

  • Lourdes Leon Steps Out With Her ‘Homeland’ Beau Timotheé Chalamet

    Lourdes Leon and Timothee Chalamet. (Elder Ordonez/INFDaily.com)Lourdes Leon is not Madonna's little girl anymore.

    The 16-year-old was photographed with her 17-year-old boyfriend, Timotheé Chalamet, on Sunday in NYC. Chalamet, who "Homeland" fans will recognize as the actor who plays the vice president's son, Finn, joined Lourdes, her father Carlos Leon, and Leon's fiancé for a family dinner.

    Earlier this month, the New York Post reported that the two started dating after meeting as students at the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in the Big Apple, where she's a junior and he's a senior.

    Lourdes, who collaborates with her mom on the Material Girl clothing line, wrote on her blog Monday about some of the pressures -- academic and otherwise -- that she's facing in a new blog post for the Macy's brand of juniors apparel and accessories.

  • Reports: Matt Damon and Wife Luciana to Renew Vows at Caribbean Resort

    Matt Damon and wife Luciana (Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images)How romantic!

    Matt Damon and his wife of eight years Luciana have rented out the luxe Sugar Beach resort on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia to renew their vows this weekend, according to Condé Nast Traveler. Even more romantic is the fact that the couple will celebrate months after their anniversary, which is December 9.

    No one at the resort was immediately available to comment on the report.

    However, the two will supposedly be joined by many of their famous friends, such as George Clooney (the co-star and director of Damon's upcoming film "The Monuments Men"), bestie Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner, and possibly "Ocean's Eleven" co-star Brad Pitt and his fiancee Angelina Jolie. E! News claims that both Stanley Tucci, the brother-in-law of Damon's friend Emily Blunt, and a private plane associated with Catherine Zeta-Jones, the wife of Damon's "Liberace" co-star Michael Douglas, have been spotted near the venue.

  • Former Nanny Sues Diddy’s Ex Kim Porter for Abuse

    Kim Porter, who's best known as the former longtime love of Sean "Diddy" Combs, is being accused of being a really bad boss -- and a questionable mom.

    Dawn Drago, the former nanny of Porter's twin daughters -- the now-6-and-a-half-year-old D'Lila and Jessie James -- with Combs, filed a lawsuit on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court in Santa Monica, California, seeking an unspecified amount of money from her former employer for allegedly abusing her, not paying her correctly, and wrongfully terminating her when she complained. Drago claims that Porter required long hours, yelled at her, even struck her at one point, and constantly subjected Drago and her twin charges to marijuana smoke during her employment for almost two years. The job ended in June, allegedly when Drago complained about the secondhand smoke.

    Porter has yet to respond to omg!'s request for comment.
