LOS ANGELES — Madonna has postponed her career-spanning Celebration tour due to what her manager called a “serious bacterial infection” and her ongoing recovery.

Manager Guy Oseary wrote on Instagram Wednesday that the singer had spent several days in an intensive care unit after becoming ill on Saturday. He said the 64-year-old singer is expected to make a full recovery.

The tour was set to kick-off in Vancouver on July 15.

"Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care," Oseary wrote.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend welcomed a baby boy via surrogate this month, the couple revealed in a surprise announcement Wednesday.

Wren Alexander Stephens is their fourth child. Teigen gave birth to daughter Esti in January.

Teigen suffered a pregnancy loss with a baby boy, Jack, in 2020. In Wednesday’s announcement, Teigen said she and Legend reached out to a surrogate agency in 2021 about enlisting two surrogates, before she decided to try to carry a child again and restarted the IVF process.

“Around this same time, we also met the most incredible, loving, compassionate surrogate we could ever imagine, Alexandra,” Teigen wrote. “I knew she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her.”

Teigen said the first embryo they tried with Alexandra did not survive. Then, during Teigen’s pregnancy with Esti, the surrogate became pregnant with Teigen and Legend’s son.

“We ate hot pot to celebrate, watched ‘Vanderpump Rules’ with our growing bellies, our families blending into one for the past year,” Teigen wrote Wednesday. “Just minutes before midnight on June 19, I got to witness the most beautiful woman, my friend, our surrogate, give birth amidst a bit of chaos, but with strength and pure joy and love.”

“We want to say thank you for this incredible gift you have given us, Alexandra,” Teigen continued, revealing the child’s middle name of Alexander is a tribute to the surrogate.

Teigen, 37, and Legend, 44, are also parents to 7-year-old daughter Luna and 4-year-old son Miles. Teigen wrote Wednesday that she always wanted four kids.

Her post included multiple photos, including one of Teigen kissing her surrogate’s pregnant belly and another showing her cradling the child alongside Legend.

“Our hearts, and our home, are officially full,” Teigen wrote. “And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you.”

Legend — one of 18 people to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony — married Teigen in 2013. Teigen, who starred as a cover model for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, has also co-hosted the competition series “Lip Sync Battle” and published three cookbooks.

John Goodman is looking at the sunset for a role he has played for decades.

The Emmy-winning actor, who has portrayed patriarch Dan Conner on “Roseanne,” its rocky reboot and current spin-off “The Conners,” said that the latest series may soon be calling it a wrap.

“I think we may be coming to an end on it, I’m not sure,” he told France 24. “It’s lasted longer than I thought we would. It was just supposed to be like an eight (episode) show and out thing at one point, but they picked us up again, and they keep picking us up.”

“The Conners” follows the dysfunctional, working class, Midwestern family that television audiences fell in love with in the original Roseanne Barr -led sitcom during the late 1980s. ABC ordered the series as a replacement for the 2018 “Roseanne” revival that was canceled after Barr became embroiled in a racist controversy for describing former President Barack Obama’s adviser Valerie Jarrett by tweeting, “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.”

Despite the drama, “The Conners” has gone on to become one of the Disney-owned network’s top-rated sitcoms, according to Deadline.

While there has been no official announcement about the show’s fate, the trade outlet reported that it has been “picked up for 13 episodes, with an option for nine more.”

Meanwhile, executive producer Bruce Helford told TVLine : “At this point in time, we feel that (next season) is possibly going to be the last season ... I would not (say that) definitively because the numbers were so good this season, and we’ve all had a really great time … but it’s definitely a possibility.”

LONDON — Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi said Tuesday that he's taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future as he seeks to adjust to the impact of Tourette syndrome.

His announcement follows his Saturday performance at the Glastonbury Festival where he appeared to lose his voice and the crowd carried him through his songs.

“First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards," he said in a statement.

“The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future," he added.

Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes individuals to make involuntary sounds and movements, often referred to as tics. Capaldi revealed last September that he had been diagnosed with the condition.

Capaldi, 26, was due to perform in Zurich, Switzerland on Wednesday. His current tour, which would include venues in Australia, South Korea and Iceland among others, was due to climax In the United Arab Emirates on Oct. 7.

In his statement, Capaldi said he was “still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.”

In an interview with The Associated Press in April following the release of a Netflix documentary about the Grammy-nominated star, Capaldi said he was happy to have had his symptoms diagnosed. At the time, he said he was trying “not to learn too much” about Tourette’s because it would often make his condition feel even worse.

The documentary, entitled “How I’m Feeling Now," shows the fear and anxiety that plagued Capaldi as he returned home to Scotland and tried to write new songs during the pandemic.
