The PBS Kids series Caillou has been cancelled by the network after airing on TV for 20 years. Caillou first premiered in 1997 and ran for five seasons until 2010. Reruns of the show were then aired in syndication until now.

PBS Kids wrote on Twitter, “We’re saying farewell to @cailloudhx, but remember, when we say goodbye to something…It just means we get to say hello to something new!”

Caillou followed the adventures of af our-year-old boy named Caillou who delights in the small wonders of the world around him and learns about life while doing so. Thanks to his vivid imagination, ordinary, everyday events quickly become exciting adventures where Caillou can play “make-believe.” When he is finished playing, he happily returns to his familiar normal daily experiences with his parents, friends, and neighbors.

UPDATE: The GRAMMYs have confirmed that the award ceremony has been pushed back to March 14. They said in a statement:  “After thoughtful conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear, we are rescheduling the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards to be broadcast Sunday, March 14, 2021. The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those in our music community and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly on producing the show.

We want to thank all of the talented artists, the staff, our vendors and especially this year’s nominees for their understanding, patience and willingness to work with us as we navigate these unprecedented times.”

The 2021 Grammys, originally scheduled for January 31st, have been postponed due to concerns over the spread of Covid-19.  It’s unclear if original host Trevor Noah is still set to host this year’s show.  The Grammys had already been planning the show without an audience, only allowing presenters and performers on-site during the show. Nominated artists wouldn’t have been allowed on-site, similar to the 2020 Emmys where nominees appeared and accepted awards remotely. 

California has seen a surge in Covid-19 cases following the holiday season, setting a new single-day record of 74,000 new cases on January 4th.

Dr. Dre is in the intensive care unit after suffering a brain aneurysm. The rapper, 55, is hospitalized at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,. TMZ reported Tuesday that the musician was taken to the hospital by ambulance on Monday after suffering the aneurysm. Dre (born Andre Romelle Young) is in a stable and undergoing tests, the outlet reports.

Dr. Dre’s medical emergency comes about six months after his estranged wife, Nicole Young filed for divorce in June after 24 years of marriage. The former couple tied the knot in May 1996 and share two children together: son Truice, 23, and 19-year-old daughter Truly.

Academy Award-winning actress Emma Stone is pregnant. Multiple entertainment outlets are reporting that Stone and her husband, Saturday Night Live segment director Dave McCary, are expecting their first child together.

Stone, 32, and McCary, 35, have not publicly announced the pregnancy. The actress was spotted with her bump last week in Los Angeles, and a source said:  “She seems very happy and very excited about becoming a mother – she’s constantly oohing and cooing. She looks great, she looks healthy, she’s glowing. She’s been keeping up with friends and work lately, she’s always staying active and gets her daily exercise in.”

Stone married McCary secretly last year. After meeting on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2017, the couple started dating and were engaged two years later, which they announced via Instagram.

Tanya Roberts’ publicist and longtime partner have released statements that the actress is still alive, despite previous reports that had announced her death on Sunday. A day after releasing a statement saying that the 65-year-old had died, her rep Mike Pingel said on Monday that he had been mistaken.

Pingel said Roberts’ partner, Lance O’Brien, had informed him of her passing at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Roberts had been hospitalized there since Christmas Eve, when she collapsed at home after walking her dog. Pingel told TMZ that O’Brien got a call from the hospital on Monday morning saying Roberts was actually alive; however, Roberts remains in the ICU in “dire” condition as of Monday. Roberts does not have COVID-19, but she was placed on a ventilator because she was struggling to breathe, according to O’Brien — who said he wasn’t allowed to visit Roberts because of coronavirus protocols, until what he thought were her final moments.

Roberts was known for her part as Stacey Sutton in the 1985 James Bond film “A View to a Kill,” and also appeared on the TV show “Charlie’s Angels” for its final season in 1980-1981. She later starred on “That 70s Show” as Donna Pinciotti’s mom Midge. Roberts was previously married to actor Barry Roberts, who died at 60 in 2006.
