'Gifted' Mulholland Drive singer Rebekah Del Rio dies aged 57
Rebekah Del Rio has died aged 57.
The singer songwriter – who made a brief but memorable appearance in David Lynch's iconic 2001 movie Mulholland Drive – passed away on Monday (June 23) at her home in Los Angeles.
Her nephew Dan Coronado confirmed the tragic news on Facebook, as he wrote: 'Just found out my Tia Becky passed away, and we literally just saw her on Father's Day.
'So grateful the kids got to hear her sing, and also that I didn't listen to her and secretly recorded the moment.'
He paid tribute to her 'God-given talent' for music and thanked his late aunt for sharing her 'gift'.
He added in his tearful post: 'Her most famous song is titled Llorando which is named after Roy Orbison's song Crying which I'm doing right now as I type this out.
'Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with the world Tia. We love you.' More Trending
Her Spanish version of Crying appeared in an iconic scene in Mulholland Drive.
She is singing live at Club Silencio, but her character's voice can still be heard even after she faints and drops to the floor.
She previously revealed that despite the version in the film being a secret recording from her first meeting with Lynch, who died aged 78 earlier this year, she had sung along each take.
She told IndieWire: 'There were many takes. And with every take, I sang along, because I felt I had to produce that same feeling with the vibrato in my throat so the audience could see it.'

Woke madness as sketch comedy The Fast Show slapped with trigger warning by BBC over infamous scene
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NINETIES sketch comedy The Fast Show has been given trigger warnings by the BBC — including for one of its infamous Suit You Sir scenes. The Corporation has flagged up two episodes of Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson's classic series on iPlayer for using 'discriminatory language'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up One is for episode five of series three, which aired in December 1997. It is most likely for a sketch featuring the outspoken tailors asking a customer if they would like to have sex with a 'she-male', with the customer then declaring: 'Come on you tr*nnies!' Episode one of the second series, from February 1996, also has a warning. That is likely due to a scene featuring the Middle Aged Guys who declare two women who rebuff their advances 'lesbians'. The BBC does not indicate which scenes their trigger warnings apply to. But the notes could also be for the beloved Chanel 9 News skit — delivered with fake Spanish word including 'Scorchio'. All 25 episodes of the Bafta winning show are on iPlayer. The trigger warnings come after the BBC also slapped notes on The Office and Only Fools and Horses. In February, Channel 4 was branded 'humourless' for flagging a series of Father Ted episodes on its streaming service. Regulators also hit Graham Linehan's Bafta-winning sitcom The IT Crowd with advisories, with one telling sensitive viewers: 'This episode was made in 2006 and contains strong, strong/offensive derogatory language and adult humour.' And ITV has slapped 1970s comedy George & Mildred with a similar caution. Dr Who gone Woke

Chef Dani García's Favourite Things
'Honestly? Amancio Ortega, the founder of Zara. He built an empire – it was a shock to the industry. And in a way, it's similar to what I want to do with food: make it accessible to everyone. It's not about luxury; it's about smart design and reach. Same with Spanish food. I want people everywhere to enjoy it. It's not about ego. I just want to be happy, to be free — and to have fun.'

Jonathan Anderson reboots Dior menswear with subtle subversion and commercial savvy
Jonathan Anderson walked on to the Dior stage on Friday with the hardest brief in luxury fashion: reignite a 9.5 billion euro powerhouse whose growth has begun to slow and whose identity, at least on the men's side, has drifted since the Hedi Slimane era. The 40-year-old Northern Irishman is hardly a novice. LVMH took a minority stake in his JW Anderson label in 2013 and, in the same breath, installed him at Loewe, where he built the once-sleepy Spanish brand into a cult enterprise (and created the Puzzle bag in the process). The inevitable next step, Dior, finally materialised this spring after a messy sequence of leaks: a departure from Loewe, an initial appointment to menswear, and, following Maria Grazia Chiuri's exit last month, full control of every Dior line. A marketing breadcrumb trail In the week before the show, Dior's image machine offered clues. American art royalty Jean-Michel Basquiat and socialite Lee Radziwill, both captured by Andy Warhol, floated across mood-board teasers. A shaky Super-8-style film lingered on peonies, a chateau and a wooden canoe adrift on still water. Viewers, like the canoe, were asked to wait. Context: revenue up, momentum down The waiting has had real-world stakes. Dior's turnover quadrupled between 2017 and 2023, yet HSBC flagged a slowdown from Q1 2024, citing consumer resistance perhaps to relentless price hikes and shifting priorites. Delphine Arnault, Dior's chief executive, now talks less about fireworks and more about 'quality and craft'. For Anderson, the unspoken mandate is clear: deliver covetable product, bags, sneakers, ready-to-wear, and a point of view that can translate into sustained demand. Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight The collection: Saltburn meets Warhol On the runway the pressure translated into nonchalance. Shirts half-tucked, collars popped, one trouser leg rolled, looks that recalled the louche decadence of Saltburn spliced with a Warholian downtown shrug. The tailoring, less razor-sharp than Slimane's fabled skinny suit, was offset by playful twists: a vampiric cape, a cable-knit in peony pink, Oscar-Wilde bows adorning the neck, coats in drapey tweeds. Anderson's British eccentricity surfaced in tailcoats fastened with Napoleonic buttons and the ubiquitous look of a chino and polo shirt was reimagined as a nod to aristocratic decay, pleated, loose, and worn with the ease of someone who has never had to try too hard. Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Were the cargo shorts and polos special? Perhaps not. But in their casual iteration they reset the palette, signalling that everyday wear is once again fair game for high fashion, and, crucially, high turnover. Commercial chess moves Accessories telegraphed intent: a hybrid sneaker-deck shoe, bright book bags, sweaters emblazoned with a refreshed lower-case Dior logo—bait for Gen Z and a lodestar for retail. Denim returned with pocket stitching first introduced by Slimane, proof that Anderson is willing to cannibalise house history where it works. And all this is only the start. By LVMH arithmetic Anderson will produce roughly 18 collections a year across men's, women's, leather goods and his own label, a workload that would fell lesser talents. Yet his track record suggests an ability to inject nuance into the mundane: tweak a heel, pop a collar, ignite a cash register. Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight What the creases say Christian Dior once championed post-war polish; Anderson's wrinkled shirts propose something different. Perhaps dressing up now feels performative, or perhaps life—pandemic, conflict, cost-of-living angst—is simply too short to iron. Either way, Anderson has staked out a fresh clearing in the Dior forest. The real test will be whether this studied casualness converts into queues outside the stores. In a year, the peonies, like the revenue charts, will show whether the house is blooming again. Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Dior Men's SS26. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight
