FOX/ Morris Chestnut / Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s untimely and tragic passing is still fresh in the mind of Morris Chestnut.
Speaking with People, Morris Chestnut had nothing but fond memories of his The Resident co-star, Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
In the interview, the Watson star remembered Warner as “such a good dude while adding that he “still can’t believe that Malcolm’s no longer here.”
The Cosby Show star tragically died in a drowning accident while on a family vacation in Costa Rica back in July.
Chestnut joined the cast of the Fox medical drama in season 3 while Warner was already a series regular.
During the interview, Chestnut pointed to a photo of them together on set, telling the magazine, “I remember this scene. Our characters didn’t like each other. He was very protective of everybody on the show, and that’s kind of how he was.”

The Best Man actor touched on the first time he saw Warner as the iconic character, Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, and how it resonated with him.
“I can see myself, as an actor, in his character,” Chestnut said. “I hadn’t decided to act at that time, but that probably was one of the first times I was like, ‘Wow, that’s kind of cool. This dude’s an actor on TV, we kind of look alike.’ Matter of fact, he had one of my favorite episodes on The Cosby Show with the Gordon Gartrell shirt — that’s just one of my favorite all-time episodes.”
Chestnut revealed that he and Warner discussed the classic Cosby Show episode when they met 2 years later.
“He was telling me a couple stories about working in New York. When I first came to that cast, he was like, ‘Hey, let’s go grab a bite to eat.’ So we went out to dinner … [He was] just an incredible dude. I hate what happened to him. Rest in peace,” Chestnut remembered.
Indeed, gone too soon.

After years of being out of stock, and a subsequent Augudy restock that sold out in less than 24 hours, Melanie Martinez’s Cry Baby Perfume Milk is finally back in stock.

This second restock is not one you’ll want to miss, given the fragrance has been off the market for around eight or nine years as of press time. The coveted Cry Baby fragrance is back on Portals Perfumes’ website, and retails for $175. The bottle, shaped like a vintage-inspired glass baby bottle, is 100 ml or 3.4 oz, giving you ample product to hopefully last you until the next restock. Nostalgic and unique, Cry Baby is a milk-scented perfume, capturing innocence and childhood wonder through Martinez’s lens.
You’ve got top notes of milk, which smells powdery and sweet, along with strawberry and forest fruits that lend a sweet touch to the milky base. Milk often smells creamy, soft and sweet rather than animalic like some would believe it to be. With a top note like milk, we’d classify this perfume as a gourmand. Now, you might be asking yourself, “What’s a gourmand?” A gourmand fragrance is one that contains edible notes such as vanilla, caramel, chocolate, matcha and orange. The resulting fragrance is often decadent and sweet, rather than herbal or woods.

Middle notes are where the powdery scents live, while the base is composed of notes of caramel and wood, adding more depth to the fragrance. According to Portals Parfums, the fragrance is described as “the spirit of the girl who is playfully innocent, but conceals an irreverent edge.” It’s playful and sweet but sharp thanks to the woody notes that transform the otherwise sweet scent into something more complex.
The fragrance was created sometime around 2016 in support of her 2015 album of the same name. Upon the fragrance’s release, it was a massive hit. In an interview with Wild 94.9 radio station in 2023, Martinez confirmed that the perfume could not be restocked because the manufacturer no longer existed after fans begged her to bring the fragrance back. In between the 2025 Cry Baby restock, the internet went crazy trying to satisfy their craving for the fragrance by duping it on sites such as Etsy. You even had some savvy Martinez fans selling their OG bottles on EBay for up to $500. The restock was a much-needed reprieve for fans, giving the opportunity to smell and try on the perfume first-hand.

Halle Bailey and DDG have temporarily agreed to share custody of their son and drop domestic violence claims against each other, putting a halt to the musicians’ messy legal battle after months of back and forth.
Bailey and DDG (Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) had been fighting in family court since this summer over custody of their nearly two-year-old child, Halo. The proceedings got ugly, with Bailey accusing the 28-year-old streamer and rapper of physical abuse and DDG claiming the 25-year-old singer and actress is mentally unstable.

But the two artists have put their differences behind them, at least for now. A settlement docketed on Monday (Oct. 27) sets forth a temporary custody arrangement lasting for the next four months, and Bailey and DDG agree to mediate in “good faith” to reach a more permanent plan afterwards.
The settlement also sees both Halle and DDG dropping their competing requests for domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) against each other. However, both sides reserve their rights to revive these allegations “upon a further incident of abuse.”
“Each party further agrees that should a future incident of abuse occur that postdates the dismissal of the instant DVRO requests, the fact that the parties dismissed her/his DVRO request shall not be prejudicial to the party seeking new orders,” reads the agreement. “The dismissal is for settlement purposes only and may not be used as evidence against the party(s) seeking new orders.”
Reps for Bailey and DDG did not immediately return requests for comment on Tuesday (Oct. 28). This is not surprising, as the settlement mandates that “the parties shall not publicly discuss the terms of this stipulation or the litigation between them.”

Bailey and DDG dated between 2022 and 2024, and Halo was born at the end of 2023. Their court dispute began this past May, when Bailey filed a petition claiming DDG had physically attacked her multiple times in Halo’s presence. In one such instance, Bailey alleged that DDG pulled her hair, slammed her face on a car steering wheel and chipped her tooth.
DDG denied these claims and brought a counter-petition of his own in June, alleging that Bailey was actually the abusive one and had repeatedly threatened self-harm as a means of emotional manipulation. Bailey responded that she struggled with her mental health in the past but now has these issues under control.
Bailey was given court-ordered custody of Halo while the litigation played out. She’s retaining primary custody under Monday’s settlement agreement, while DDG gets the child twice a week and two weekends a month. They will split holidays.
The former couple agrees in the settlement not to post any photos or videos of Halo online. There are also a number of guardrails to govern their relationship; neither one is allowed to disparage the other in the child’s presence, they can only communicate via a special co-parenting app, and Halo should always be dropped off with the other parent at a public park.
“All exchanges shall be peaceful and polite, with the custodial parent handing the child to the non-custodial parent. (A polite hello and goodbye is acceptable),” reads the settlement.

THE BIG STORY: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was so big that it has developed its own legal system.
With a record-shattering haul of more than $2 billion face-value ticket sales — and many times that in the secondary market — it’s not surprising that legal disputes have broken out. Don’t forget the old adage in the music industry: “If you write a hit, you get a writ.”
It started immediately after the chaotic pre-sale, when Swift fans filed class actions against Ticketmaster, accusing the company of causing the “disaster” rollout. In August, the Federal Trade Commission sued a ticket broker for allegedly using bots to buy thousands of Eras tickets that it resold for more than $1 million in profit. Just this month, an angry Swiftie sued StubHub for giving her “inferior” seats after she dropped $14,000 on Eras tickets.

The latest fallout came last week in a criminal case — over a “cybercrime crew” that allegedly stole Eras tickets from StubHub and resold them for a windfall. For more, go read our full story here.

Need an early indication that a World Series game at Dodger Stadium is going to extend late into the evening? Seeing Brad Paisley step up to perform the national anthem just might be a clue.

The country artist performed the U.S. national anthem at Dodger Stadium preceding a matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night (Oct. 27), and the game ended in extra innings — marking the fourth time a World Series game with Paisley playing the national anthem went into extra innings, according to Major League Baseball. This time, during the 18th inning, the Dodgers pulled ahead for a 6-5 victory.
Paisley now has been the anthem singer prior to both of the World Series’ longest games, which each ending in 18 innings.
Each of the four times Paisley has played the national anthem prior to a World Series Game, the game has gone into extra innings. Paisley sang the anthem last year for Game 1 of the World Series, a matchup between the Dodgers and the New York Yankees that lasted 10 innings. In 2018, he performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Game 3 of the World Series, prior to a game between the Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox; that game lasted 18 innings. In 2017, he sang the national anthem for the first time at the World Series, in Game 2 before a match between the Dodgers and the Houston Astros, which went for 11 innings.
Though Paisley has yet to comment on his seeming penchant of playing before extended games, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, his wife and actress, chimed in on social media, commenting on a video of the country singer playing the anthem before the game, which also happened to take place the day before his 53rd birthday on Oct. 28.
“Is it your fault it went 18 innings again? Nice of the @dodgers to win for your birthday!” Williams-Paisley wrote.
Some of Williams-Paisley’s fellow Hallmark Channel actors also chimed in, including Kris Polaha, who commented with fire emojis, and Tyler Hynes, who wrote, “Knew he was a Jays fan.”
Paisley has just added a slate of European dates to his tour for 2026, including stops in Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. He is also set to release the holiday album, Snow Globe Town, on Nov. 7.

Cardi continued to tease her next era: “However, I want to put out a project another album in less than a year, so I’m really planning on that. I want a new era. I kinda know what I want it to look like. It’s gonna be different from Am I the Drama?”
Now, plenty of Cardi promises came and went in the seven years between Invasion of Privacy and Am I the Drama?. The Bronx native’s sophomore album finally arrived in September and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 200,000 total album-equivalent units earned.
After giving birth to baby No. 4, Cardi will hit the road for her first headlining tour in February. The Little Miss Drama Tour kicks off on Feb. 11 in Palm Desert, Calif. She’ll then head through major cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C, before finishing up on April 17 in Atlanta.
Later in the Spaces, Cardi explained how she’s ready to get back to her pre-pregnancy self after giving birth.
“You see how I was in a strict schedule while I was doing the rollout? Well, that is the same way that I’m going to be when I give birth,” she said. “I want to be a bad b—h. I feel really beautiful being pregnant, but I want to go back to bad b—ing. So I need to tighten up my body.”
