JOE ARROYO: Joe Arroyo, the Colombian salsa star known as El Joe, died Tuesday at a Barranquilla hospital, his representatives said. He was 55.
The BBC said Arroyo had been receiving treatment at the medical facility for about a month for heart, lung and kidney problems. He also had long battled an addiction to drugs.
A specific cause of death was not immediately disclosed for Arroyo, who was scheduled to be awarded a lifetime achievement award at this year's Latin Grammy Awards show.
Colombia Reports quoted the Archbishop of Barranquilla as saying the performer is to be buried Wednesday. His hometown of Cartagena will observe two days of official mourning and all flags are to be flown at half-staff.
Hundreds of fans had gathered at the hospital to pay tribute to the music icon, Colombia Reports said.
"The Archbishop of Barranquilla calls on the whole community touched by the artist to respectfully and serenely live through these moments of sadness in which the best tribute we can offer is to unite the prayers of Colombians so that the soul of our beloved and always remembered Joe Arroyo may rest in the peace of the Lord," the archbishop said in a statement.
CHRISTOPHER SCHWARZENEGGER: Broadcast journalist Maria Shriver says her son Christopher has been discharged from the California hospital where he was treated after a surfing mishap.
The 13-year-old suffered a collapsed lung and broken ribs in a boogie-boarding accident in Malibu more than a week ago.
"Blessed to be able to take Christopher out of the hospital last night," People.com reported Shriver announced via Twitter Tuesday. "What a feeling of relief to know that he's going to be fine. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. The whole family, especially Christopher, felt your love."
"Thanks for all your support for Christopher," the teen's father, actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said in his own Twitter posting Monday night. "It means a lot to me & to him. He's doing much better & we'll have him back at full speed soon."
Schwarzenegger and Shriver are in the midst of a divorce following Schwarzenegger's admission he fathered a child during an extramarital affair with a member of the family's household staff.
LAURYN HILL: U.S. recording star Lauryn Hill has given birth to her sixth child, a boy whose father has not been publicly identified, People.com said Tuesday.
Rohan Marley -- son of late reggae icon Bob Marley and the father of Hill's other five children -- has denied her sixth baby is his and it is unclear whether Hill and Marley are still together.
A source close to Hill told People.com her youngest child was born Saturday night with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, but he and Hill are fine now.
FRAN DRESCHER: "The Nanny" co-stars Fran Drescher and Charles Shaughnessy are to reunite on the season finale of Drescher's new U.S. sitcom, "Happily Divorced."
TV Land said Tuesday Shaughnessy will guest star as Gregory, a possible love interest for both Drescher's character and her gay ex-husband Peter, played by John Michael Higgins.
The episode is to air Aug. 17.
"Happily Divorced" is based on Drescher's own life. It is about a woman whose 18-year marriage ends suddenly when her husband announces he's gay, but can't afford to move out of the marital home.
"The Nanny" ran from 1993 to 1999. In the sitcom, Drescher played a New York nanny who ultimately marries the wealthy father of the three children she watches. Shaughnessy played the dad.
