'DWTS' judge Derek Hough, wife Hayley Erbert Hough expecting first child together
Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert Hough are expecting their first child together. The "Dancing with the Stars" judge and the "So You Think You Can Dance" alum announced they would be parents in a sweet Instagram video posted Tuesday, July 22, seemingly shot in a backyard overlooking Los Angeles. "We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small," the couple captioned the joint Instagram post. The video was set to "So Small," a song from Alexander Jean, the band of Hough's "DWTS" costar and pro dancer Mark Ballas. The video showed the couple embracing, sharing a kiss and Herbert wrapping her arms around Hough as she held an ultrasound photo. A post shared by Hayley Erbert Hough (@ 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' are headed to 'DWTS.' Which two join the dancing competition? The couple received an outpouring of love and support from friends who waltzed their way to the comment section. "Baby Hough is not even ready for Uncle Mark, Auntie BC + Cousin Banksi play dates about to go TOO HARD," Ballas said, while Erbert Hough's best friend and "DWTS" pro Britt Stewart said that "truly no words can match this blessing!!!! Auntie Britt is ready! Love you both so much." The Houghs began dating in 2015 after meeting on "DWTS." Before joining the judge's table, Hough was the show's winningest "DWTS" pro dancer, capturing the coveted Mirrorball Trophy a record-breaking six times in the televised dance competition. They announced their engagement on June 2, 2022, with joint Instagram posts. The couple married in front of family and friends in a redwood forest in Northern California's Monterey County during an August 2023 ceremony. Hough is set to judge Season 34 alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli on the show's premiere Tuesday, Sept. 16, hosted by his sister Julianne Hough and "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" alum Alfonso Ribeiro. The upcoming cast features "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" duo Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, social media star Alix Earle and Steve Irwin's son Robert Irwin.

Stephen Colbert reveals the real hairy reason for 'Late Show' firing
"CBS saw my upper lip, and Boom! Cancelled! Coincidence?" Stephen Colbert said on July 21. There are many legitimate reasons why both Stephen Colbert and the "The Late Show" franchise were cancelled by CBS last week. There's the collapse of TV late-night's business model amid rising costs, declining profits, and shrinking viewership. There's Colbert's unrelenting criticism of a thin-skinned president while CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, seeks to finalize an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval from the federal government. All of these things could be true. However, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" host floated another eyebrow-raising theory on July 21, that, while made in apparent jest, shouldn't be brushed away like panini crumbs in Movember: This firing was spurred on by his controversial summer mustache. It was "stashe-ism." More: Stephen Colbert is out at CBS. Is all of late-night TV officially doomed? Stephen takes us behind the 'stache to reveal how his vacation look earned him a new nickname. #Colbert #Mustache #Vacation Colbert returned from summer hiatus to "The Late Show" on July 14, sporting what I charitably referred to as an "unfortunate summer mustache." In his first monologue, the host got way too close to the camera while discussing the ongoing facial hair situation on his upper lip, which he referred to as his "salt and pepper cookie pusher." Sure, Colbert also eviscerated Donald Trump and Paramount in the same monologue, causing consternation in corner offices and likely the Oval Office. Yet as we all know, three nights later, a newly shaven Colbert announced the news of "The Late Show" cancellation to a stunned nation. I'm following the mustache trail. I would have kept quiet on my theory until Colbert blew his own whistle on July 21, which he's able to do now that the 'stache has been removed. "I delivered a blistering monologue during which I had the courage to have a mustache," Colbert said. "CBS saw my upper lip, and Boom! Canceled! Coincidence? Oh, I think not. This is worse than fascism. This is 'stache-ism." A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) Hollywood history is filled with great mustache battles, including Tom Selleck's insistence on keeping his as Franl Reagan, the New York police commissioner on CBS's "Blue Bloods." Selleck and his famous facial hair won that battle. Henry Cavill discussed his "mustache fiasco" on his Instagram in 2017, explaining he was compelled to keep his "Mission: Impossible" villain mustache for "Justice League" reshoots as Superman. The bushy beaut was not right for the Man of Steel, obviously. It was digitally and ineffectively removed from "Justice League," a source of online derision. It needs to be pointed out that Cavill is no longer DC's Superman. Coincidence?

Ozzy Osbourne was rock 'n' roll's 'Prince of Darkness.' How he got the twisted nickname
You can call him Ozzy, but to the world, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will always be the reigning Prince of Darkness. The heavy metal icon, best known for his eerie vocals and outlandish stage persona, died on Tuesday, July 22, according to a family statement shared with USA TODAY. He was 76. Osbourne's death comes just weeks after he reunited with Black Sabbath for a final show in England. Born John Michael Osbourne, the rock vocalist found early fame as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, an English heavy metal outfit that earned fan fervor — and industry criticism — for its dark sound and occult image. Ozzy Osbourne dies: Black Sabbath rocker was 76 As Black Sabbath began to make a name for itself with the group's musical unholiness, Osbourne was christened the band's Prince of Darkness. Why is Ozzy Osbourne called the 'Prince of Darkness'? Black Sabbath, which was formed in the late 1960s by Osbourne alongside guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler, previously went by the group names the Polka Tulk Blues Band and Earth. The band landed on Black Sabbath after members observed a screening of the 1963 Italian horror film of the same name across the street from their rehearsal room. Inspired by the horror genre, the group wrote the song "Black Sabbath," which became its new name, as well as the title track of its 1970 debut album. In a 2016 interview with NME, Osbourne said fans' reactions to the song's doom-metal sound helped spawn his dark nickname. "When we started gigging way back when, as soon as we started playing this song's opening chords, young girls in the audience would ... freak out," Osbourne said at the time. "They thought we were Satan's ... friends or something." Malcolm-Jamal Warner dies in drowning: 'The Cosby Show' star was 54 Osbourne reflected on the legacy of the macabre alias in a July 2013 interview with the Broward Palm Beach New Times. "It's a name. I didn't wake up one morning and go, 'You know what, I'm going to call myself…'" Osbourne told the outlet. "It started as a joke name, really. I'm OK with it, you know? You know, it's better than being called an a------." Contributing: Melissa Ruggieri, USA TODAY
