A spokesman for Dick Van Dyke says the actor is undergoing tests for “cranial throbbing” that’s causing him to lose sleep. Spokesman Bob Palmer said Thursday the 87-year-old has been experiencing a throbbing sensation in his head when lying down. Palmer said scans and other tests have yet to yield a diagnosis. He says Van Dyke has a strong constitution and is otherwise OK, but the “fatigue factor has become acute.” Palmer says that until Van Dyke receives a diagnosis and treatment plan, he’s been advised not to fly and is resting at his Malibu home. Van Dyke’s credits include “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “Diagnosis Murder.” He was to accept an award next week from New York’s 92nd Street Y but canceled the trip.

Khloe Kardashian is left out following the latest game of musical chairs on “The X Factor.”
Fox said Monday that while Mario Lopez is returning this fall as host of Simon Cowell’s music competition series, Kardashian will not be joining him.
Cowell’s series, which has never quite met ratings expectations, is in the midst of turnover with its judging panel, too. Cowell and Demi Lovato will be returning, but Britney Spears and record producer Antonio “L.A.” Reid left and have not been replaced yet.
The show starts its third season in the fall.
