Dick Van Dyke Drops Out of Fan Event, Wife Explains it Was ‘Not a Good Day For Him'

Dick Van Dyke dropped out of a public appearance on Saturday during the third edition of Vandy Camp, a fan event held at the Arlene & Dick Van Dyke Theater at Malibu High School. His wife, Arlene Silver, confirmed that the actor was not going to attend the event as originally planned (via USA Today). As Silver took the stage, she introduced herself as 'not the Van Dyke you're expecting,' and explained that Van Dyke would not be attending Vandy Camp this year in person.

'When you're 99-and-a-half years old, you have good days and bad days, and when you're 40 years old, you have good days and bad days. Unfortunately, today is not a good day for him, and he's sick that he can't be here.' Even though Van Dyke was not in attendance, Silver told the audience that he would be tuning in from home. Fans from around the world voiced their appreciation for the actor after Silver addressed the crowd, asking for everyone to tell Van Dyke what he 'meant to them.' Van Dyke made a brief appearance via livestream during Vandy Camp shortly after. During the livestream, Silver said that she was 'pretty confident' that Van Dyke would be in attendance for the next Vandy Camp. Vandy Camp is a one-day event with performances by Van Dyke, Silver and their group Vantastix. With conversations from Van Dyke and Silver, the event incorporates live music, selected clips from Van Dyke's career and a Q&A session.

Forget hot girl summer — Gen Z women are flocking to convents with nuns: ‘Vow of silence summer is in'

Bye, Hamptons shared houses — this summer, it's all about the convents. Gen Z women are opting for a peaceful summer — with nuns this year. Summer is usually a time when singles look to book shared houses by the beach, bar hop until the wee hours of the morning or drink fun cocktails on sunny rooftops. That's not the case for Gen Z. Young women are not only giving up swiping on dating apps, they're now looking to protect their peace even further by taking a vow of silence and booking stays at Catholic convents and monasteries for the summer. Yes, you read that correctly. In case you're unfamiliar: a vow of silence is the act of being verbally silent, only communicating through writing or sign language. Considering a quarter of a million Americans experience burnout by 30 — spending a summer getting in touch with one's spiritual side sounds like the ideal peaceful escape. This quiet trend has become so popular that guests are being put on a waitlist for these holy stays, as pointed out in one woman's viral TikTok video. '…I booked a vow of silence at a Catholic monastery late last year and the booking process is reallly straightforward — you just email the nuns, they give you some dates. Overall, they're really flexible,' @mc667868 said in her post that has garnered over 700,000 views. Explaining she had a great experience her first time around, when the content creator went to book her stay this summer — she was shocked to learn that the monastery was fully booked 'for the next three months.' 'Maybe we can start a resy app for vows of silence,' she ended her video, saying. Her video racked up thousands of comments from other women, wholeheartedly supporting this unexpected trend. 'the call to be a nun is too strong rn.' 'brat summer is out, vow of silence summer is IN.' 'i lived with nuns last summer (they're Episcopalian). legit the best three months of my life, they are so cool and fun. i worked in their garden and lived in a cottage for free.' 'I tried to apply in FEBRUARY to live in an italian monestary with the nuns this summer and they were already fully booked.' 'The girlies are FED TF UPPPPPPP and this is the proof.' 'I feel the nuns have been expecting us. They knew our last nerve would disappear at some point.'
