Dina's Dirt for June 26, 2025

Strike first, strike hard, no mercy – but no biting! There's now audio of "Karate Kid" star Martin Kove getting blasted by his "Cobra Kai" co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim after allegedly biting her at a Washington fan convention. Officer footage shows Alicia going off on Martin for biting her. She told officers, "He insisted he bit me for fun," and she ultimately decided not to press charges. She did request a formal police report though and requested police take pictures. Martin later issued a public apology, saying, "I deeply regret and apologize for my actions."

LeAnn Rimes teeth fell out mid-concert and had to rush off stage. Fans were worried, but LeAnn jumped on Instagram the next day and explained, "If you've been around, you know I've had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front, and it fell out in the middle of my song last night." That's when she panicked and ran off-stage to pop it back in. She added, "And so, for the rest of the show, I was literally like this, pushing my teeth in." She then warned her fans for the next show, "The front row, get ready for something to fly out. If you catch them, please return them."

On "The Today Show," Machine Gun Kelly, revealed the meaning behind his new daughter Saga Blade's name. He said it means epic story (and anticipates she'll be a great storyteller) and that it's of Norwegian descent, as he is. He also gave Meghan Fox a shout out for being a great mom, which is a nice nod considering the two of them aren't together right now, after she dumped him.

A teacher at a PA school assigned his students to type letters to Tom Hanks on vintage typewriters, with the goal of teaching them about deliberate writing. What happened next? According to the teacher, "Everyone who wrote him a letter, he responded personally and carefully to the actual content of their letters." I'll bet there are some kids who now wish they spent a little more time on their letters.
