Dina's Dirt for July 22, 2025
David Beckham's wife tells him to leave it to the pros
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played the teenage son Theo Huxtable on "The Bill Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992, has passed at the age of 54. He was on family vacation in Costa Rica when he was caught by a high ocean current and drowned. TMZ reports that bystanders pulled him to shore, but he was declared dead at the scene. After "The Cosby Show" ended, Malcolm starred in "Malcolm & Eddie" from 1996-2000, voiced "The Producer"' on "the Magic School Bus," and appeared in numerous other television and film roles. Most recently, he was in "The Resident," "9-1-1," and "Alert: Missing Persons Unit." Malcolm also hosted the "Not All Hood" podcast, with the newest episode dropping just four days ago. He is survived by a wife and daughter.
Talk show hosts and comedians are standing in solidarity with Stephen Colbert after the cancellation of the "Late Show." Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, Andy Cohen, and John Oliver all showed up last night on "Late Show." They were joined by a slew of other stars including Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Weird Al Yankovic, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. CBS called the cancellation a "financial" decision, but some question that since the news came just days after its parent company, Paramount Global, agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris.
Billy Joel talked about how he's feeling after a brain disorder sidelined him. Billy Joel was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain's ventricles. This condition led him to cancel all his concerts through next year. He is currently undergoing treatment and physical therapy to manage the symptoms, which include balance issues, and problems with hearing and vision, but according to Billy, it sounds worse than it is, and he's currently doing great.
David Beckham cuts his own hair, and he really botched it this last time - and his wife, Victoria, is not letting him live it down. She posted a video where she's asking David, "What have you done?!" He claimed "the clipper head fell off" mid-cut, and Victoria told him he had to get it fixed by a professional now, adding, "I'm gonna always be honest with you, it looks terrible." Maybe so, but even the most terrible haircut won't make him look any less handsome.
