Legend Dick Van Dyke was forced to cancel a public appearance in New York last week after he suffered from fatigue. Now it appears the symptoms may be due to a neurological disorder.

The 87 year-old, known for his roles in Bye Bye Birdie, Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang among countless others, was due to appear at the 92nd Street Y (92Y) community center. However, his rep told Entertainment Tonight Van Dyke was unable to attend due to "fatigue and lack of sleep resulting from symptoms of a yet-to-be diagnosed neurological disorder."

The rep also said that Van Dyke will be cancell...

It’s almost impossible to believe, but it’s true: ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ premiered on CBS 50 years ago next month. Yes, it was half a century ago that America was first introduced to the Petries’ living room and the office of Alan Brady’s writing staff.

What’s even more amazing is that the show still holds up better than ever. ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ was one of the first sitcoms to depict a husband and wife who actually had the hots for each other – even though they supposedly slept in separate beds. (It was obvious that wasn’t always the case. I mean, they had a kid and everything.)...

Mary Tyler Moore will receive SAG’s Life Achievement Award at the awards ceremony in January 2012. The actress, who will turn 75 in December, is of course being honored for her unforgettable TV work in ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ and her own self-titled sitcom.

SAG is also said to be impressed by her film roles, her work on Broadway, and her humanitarian efforts. Moore suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, a condition that has left her health fragile. She frequently speaks about the disease, lobbies for more research and funds, and wrote a book about her experiences with it in 2009.

For the most ...

Sam Denoff, a prolific TV writer who won two Emmys for 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' and who created 'That Girl,' has died at age 83. He had reportedly suffered from Alzheimer's Disease.

Denoff started in TV writing for shows like 'Your Show of Shows' and 'McHale's Navy' before he struck gold with writing partner Bill Persky. Carl Reiner recruited them to write for Van Dyke's show, and the pair became favorites in the latter half of the show's run. They won an Emmy in 1964 for various episodes, and in 1966 were nominated for two episodes: They won for the classic 'Coast to Coast Big Mouth' e...

In the season premiere of TV Land’s ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ Betty White’s character, Elka, found herself in jail. A slim cell mate who called her “fresh meat” turned around and turned out to be none other than Mary Tyler Moore. The cameo was more a wink at the two icons’ history together, with the characters noting it had been 33 years since they’d seen each other – exactly as long as it had been since Moore and White worked together on ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show.’

This sequence made me wonder – what are all the iconic TV actors from the glory days up to? Aside from this cameo, Moore re-eme...

In the wake of the current brain-draining drive to remake just about everything Hollywood has ever had to offer, there are some films that are so sacred they should never be touched. This is a blatant retort to the deluge of watered down franchises, remakes, medium changes, etc. It ranges in levels of snark from low to apocalyptic strength.

My frustration with this extremely long trend came to a fever pitch after watching the Obsessed trailer. Anyone even peripherally familiar with Fatal Attraction could easily catch the obvious, racially spurred recasting of a classic film.

U2 guitarist The Edge has gone to war with celebrity neighbors in Malibu, California over his home development plans.

Classic movie-musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is reportedly set to head back to the big screen in a new film. The 1968 picture starred Dick Van Dyke and was based on a novel by James Bond creator Ian Fleming.

And Michael G. Wilson, who owns the rights to Fleming's story, has revealed that he is in talks to create a new version of the movie.

Lindsay Lohan is worried about an upcoming role in which she has to talk with a British accent because she dreads her efforts being compared to Dick Van Dyke. Van Dyke's performance in 1960s movie Mary Poppins features a notoriously unconvincing London cockney accent, and Lohan is keen to avoid any comparisons with her turn in "A Woman Of No Importance."

She says, "I'm going to London in the spring to make a movie with Keira Knightley. It's a period piece and my character has a British accent. But it's crazy. If I hang out with a British person for an hour or so, I start talking just ...

The pair will play security guards at New York City's famous Museum Of Natural History. In the film, Stiller will play a bumbling security guard who accidentally lets loose an ancient curse that causes the extinct animals and insects on display to come to life and wreak havoc.
