Singer Beyonce Cancels Show Due to Exhaustion



The 31-year-old superstar is canceling her Tuesday concert in Belgium due to dehydration and exhaustion, The Associated Press confirms.

Beyonce has been advised by her doctors to rest. The show will be rescheduled and tickets can be used at that show.

Though Beyonce is scheduled to perform Wednesday at the same arena she canceled -- the Sportpaleis in Antwerp -- she is "awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision."

No doubt this will fuel rumors that have swirled recently, claiming the singer is pregnant with baby number two.

'24' is back: Fox reviving hit series for 12 episodes in May 2014



Jack is back. Fox Broadcasting chief Kevin Reilly has announced that 24 will be returning in 2014. According to Brian Stelter of The New York Times, the show will run for 12 weeks — meaning producers plan to deviate from its longstanding format, where each hour-long episode represents an hour in realtime.

When it debuted in 2001, that unique approach established 24 as one of the first network programs tailored for binge viewing sessions. The New Yorker's Emily Nussbaum shared that sentiment when we spoke to her last November, crediting 24 for breaking the network tradition of putting out procedural episodes, where "any individual hour could be distributed in any order."
