(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer.”)
“The Masked Singer” Season 5 returned Wednesday with an episode featuring Group B’s second performances and the show’s second “Wildcard” round. And just like last week, the night’s surprise contestant came in and managed to steal the slot from an existing competitor. In this case, it was newbie Crab who got more votes than Grandpa Monster, who was thus eliminated from the competition and unmasked at the end of the episode.
Following last Wednesday’s inaugural “Wildcard” round for Group A — which now consists of Russian Doll, Seashell, Robopine (f.k.a. Porcupine) and Orca (who ousted Raccoon) — Group B’s remaining contestants Grandpa Monster, Chameleon, Black Swan and Piglet took the stage again.
They each gave their second performances in front of panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger, as well as guest host Niecy Nash (filling in for Nick Cannon, who is recovering from COVID-19).
Once those four were done, the “Wildcard” round began, with crashing contestant Crab making their grand entrance by singing Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.”
Then it was time for the judges and at-home audience to cast their votes for Wednesday’s top contestant.
The performer who came in last was Grandpa Monster, who sang Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation.” Before Grandpa Monster was unmasked, Thicke guessed the contestant was Johnny Manziel, Scherzinger picked Jake Paul, Jeong said Kevin Hart and McCarthy thought The Miz. Grandpa Monster turned out to be YouTube star Logan Paul.
Read TheWrap’s interview with Paul about his time on “The Masked Singer” here.
“The Masked Singer” Season 5 began with 10 scheduled contestants, broken into two groups. After last week’s elimination of Danny Trejo’s Raccoon and addition of “Wildcard” contestant Orca, and the prior episodes’ cuts of Phoenix (Caitlyn Jenner) and Snail (Kermit the Frog), there are now eight remaining contestants, due to the fact that Crab took over Grandpa Monster’s slot in Group B via Wednesday’s “Wildcard” round.
Per Fox, “The season five contestants boast a combined 26 Grammy nominations, nine multi-platinum singles, four Academy Award nominations, three Super Bowl appearances, six gold medals and two world records.”
“The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Fox.

A virus-themed episode of Nickelodeon’s animated series SpongeBob SquarePants has been pulled in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, as NBC News reports.
The episode, “Kwarantined Crab,” will not air “due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real world pandemic,” Nickelodeon’s executive vice president of communications David Bittler told NBC News.
In the Season 12 episode, a health inspector visits SpongeBob’s workplace, Krusty Krab, and informs workers and customers that there is a case of the “Clam Flu” present. They are subjected to quarantine inside the restaurant, which gives rise to anxiety and panic.
In addition to “Kwarantined Crab,” a second episode called “Mid-Life Crustacean” from Season 3 will not air. In it, SpongeBob and his friend Patrick, along with SpongeBob’s boss Mr. Krabs, break into a woman’s house and steal her underwear. The episode has been out of the show’s lineup since 2018 “following a standards review in which we determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate,” Bittler said.
Paramount+, which recently began streaming SpongeBob SquarePants alongside other Nickelodeon shows, will not carry those two episodes. Amazon Prime, which streams the first six seasons of the show has removed “Mid-Life Crustacean.”
Recently, several children’s-oriented items have been reexamined and adapted to the times. Earlier in the month, it was announced that six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published due to racist imagery. In February, Hasbro rebranded Mr. Potato Head to the gender-neutral “Potato Head.”
Since the interview first aired, it has become understood that William, 38, is not pleased with his brother and sister-in-law, who also made mention of William's wife, Kate Middleton, during the interview.
Now, a source has told Us Weekly that the Duke of Cambridge wants to publicly share his side of the story.
Prince William is reportedly 'struggling' to hold back sharing his side of the story following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent tell-all interview. (WireImage)
"The queen is insisting that the royals handle the matter privately," said the insider
Furthermore, they also said that Queen Elizabeth II "thinks that retaliating will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse."
That doesn't mean William isn't antsy about responding to the claims, however.
"William is struggling to hold back," shared the source. "He wants to get his side out there."
The insider said that the mention of Middleton is his priority for wanting to speak out, as he's reportedly felt "very protective" over his wife since Markle claimed Middleton made her cry around the time of her wedding to Harry.
Additionally, the royal would like to "clear the racial allegations," said the source.

Reps for Kensington and Buckingham Palaces did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.
He added that, at the time, he had not yet spoken to Harry about the contents of the interview. Gayle King recently reported that the brothers have since spoken, but conversations were "not productive."

Britney Spears’ fans have speculated that a new Instagram post — in which she says she was “embarrassed,” by the NY Times’ “Framing Britney Spears” documentary and “cried for two weeks” — was not entirely written by the pop star.
Now, her former makeup artist Billy Brasfield is adding to the chorus, claiming to Page Six he personally spoke to Britney and that she told him she had no control over the caption.
In a post showing Britney dancing, the caption from her own Instagram states, “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in … I cried for two weeks and well …. I still cry sometimes !!!!”
Brasfield, who has also worked with Mariah Carey, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera, contends of Britney, “The content is her, but … the words are NOT how she feels.”
Brasfield posted on his Instagram claiming that Britney told him that, “Of course watching certain things that are now so far in HER past … circumstances that she has already lived through, and has moved beyond, that are now being brought up over and over, can be #emotional. She ‘deals’ with it, and frankly very well … she is not ‘fragile’.”
Brasfield — who worked with Britney on “The X Factor” in 2012 through her 2013 video “Scream and Shout” — tells Page Six of the post, “I immediately knew it was not her,” alleging, “I texted her about it and she texted me back last night.”
“What was upsetting [about the post] — it was basically a narrative denouncing her fans and the Free Britney movement and people now taking a very conscious look at the facts and what is going on,” he tells us.
“Although it might be complicated for her, of course she is invested. It’s her life. She does not like being a victim, she never wanted to be a victim and doesn’t see herself as a victim. She sees herself as a survivor and has navigated this with patience and strategy.”
Brasfield believes that the post was meant to distract people from what is currently happening in court with Britney’s financial matters and conservatorship.
On Tuesday, Page Six reported that Britney’s father Jamie, who functions as her conservator, filed legal papers seeking to have the “Toxic” singer’s estate pay more than $3 million in legal fees — including nearly $2 million to his own lawyers.
“If approved by the judge, this money would come from Britney’s estate, meaning she essentially would be paying her own father’s lawyers to fight her in court,” a source told Page Six.
Jamie has also requested to continue receiving $16,000 per month for his role as co-conservator of the estate — as well as $2,000 per month for an office space.

Fans have been speculating Britney did not write the social post, with one tweeting “There is not a single chance that Britney wrote this #FreeBritney.”
But Cassie Petrey, who runs Spears social media for the company Crowd Surf, in February commented on the rumors, insisting, “Britney creates her own posts and writes her own captions for Instagram.”
“She finds the Google images, Pinterest images, quotes, memes and everything else herself. Nobody is suggesting any of that stuff to her.”
Continuing, “Britney is not ‘asking for help’ or leaving secret messages in her social media. She is literally just living her life and trying to have fun on Instagram. My work on Britney’s social media does not involve her conservatorship in any way. That’s a court and lawyer thing … These are facts.”
A separate source close to Britney’s camp insists that the superstar wrote the social media post and alleged of Brasfield, “If he thinks he is speaking with Britney, he is not. He has no relationship with her. Maybe he is being catfished by someone pretending to be her.”
Jamie controlled Spears’ estate from 2008 until 2019 when he stepped aside due to health problems. Licensed fiduciary Jodi Montgomery temporarily replaced Jamie and has since taken steps to permanently succeed him at the star’s request.
Reps for Britney declined to comment, and her lawyers didn’t respond to us. Crowd Surf did not comment further.
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 5, Episode 4 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired March 31 on Fox.
Logan Paul admits his experience on “The Masked Singer” got off to a rough start. Paul, who was the next celebrity to be unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” said learning to sing and dance at the same time for the show wasn’t exactly what he expected.
“I can barely sing, I’ve never performed in this way, let alone adding dancing to this,” said Paul, who performed as Grandpa Monster. “This is a nightmare. And it was at first, until I crossed that hump and really started falling in love with the show.”
But he recalled being “scared and hesitant” early on. “My PR team got the angry call, I was like, ‘this show is not for me I’m not good at it. They’re having me dance, I thought I was gonna sing!’” Paul said. “And they’re like, just trust the process, believe in yourself.”
So Paul did, and his tune changed after his first episode. “I was like oh my gosh, this really is fun,” he said. “Once you just like open up and let go, this is a great place to be vulnerable and get a fresh start, if you will, because you’re anonymous. And the moment I fell in love with the show then I got eliminated in round two!”
He then joked, “And that’s just the way it works, man. When you get attached to things, you get screwed over! Never fall in love, kids. That’s the lesson.”
Paul also fell in love with his costume, the elderly Grandpa Monster, precisely because it felt like the opposite of his energetic self. “I loved him,” Paul said. “So I didn’t I didn’t really need choices. I thought he’d be a fun misdirect in his geriatric nature, and then me like a kid, teeming with life on the inside like busting out of a grandpa costume. I thought that’d be funny and provide a nice little juxtaposition.”
Indeed, he managed to fool the show’s panelists. Nicole Scherzinger got close (but not quite) by naming Jake Paul — Logan Paul’s brother. Meanwhile, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg went with Michael “The Miz” Mizanin; Ken Jeong thought it was Kevin Hart; and Robin Thicke thought it was Johnny Manziel (“Johnny Football”).
“I was stumped at the feedback and how many people did not guess me,” Paul said. “I was certain, like I think I even called my manager after the first performance and I was like, my voice is so identifiable, there are so many clips of me screaming, yelling, singing online. People are going to guess that it’s me, not to mention I’m jumping and sprinting and kicking across the stage. But few people guessed it was me. Which I guess proves the whole model of the show is that the anonymous singing is harder to predict than one would think.”
For his second song, Paul sang “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett. Prior to that, he had performed “Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of…),” by Lou Bega. Had Paul continued, he was prepping Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” for his next song.
“I was convinced that I was gonna make it to round three,” he said. “I even said in the post-performance interview, I was like, there’s no way I’m going home tonight, I felt like I crushed it. I felt like the energy was there, I felt like my performance was fine.”
Meanwhile, this isn’t Paul’s only high-profile TV appearance this week; he’s also set to guest star on Friday’s episode of “WWE Smackdown” — also on Fox — as the guest of Sami Zayn. “I just doing stuff,” Paul said. “I like working and I like putting on big shows. Masked Singer blessed me with the opportunity to be on the show and WWE invited me.”
As for whether he wants to explore more singing, Paul said, “I would if I also didn’t have a million other things going on. It was tough to fit it in the schedule, they’re pretty demanding days. And I’m in a full training camp to fight Floyd Mayweather right now so the takeaway I had was just that I really do love performing and if I can continue to do that on a scale that big like I definitely will.”
Meanwhile, guest host Niecy Nash continued her run on Wednesday’s show, as the fill-in for regular host Nick Cannon, who was unable to return for the first several episodes of this season due to a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Also new this season, “wildcard” contestants will be introduced into the competition and join the battle for the golden mask trophy. Season 5 celebrity contestants will be split into two groups of five (A and B), but then all-new masked celebrities will jump into the “wildcard” rounds and compete as well. Additionally, the show has added a new character, a rooster named “Cluedle-Doo,” who promises to add some mischief to the proceedings and share additional clues to viewers.
This season’s costumes include Raccoon, Seashell, Black Swan, Snail, Grandpa Monster, Phoenix, Chameleon, Russian Doll(s), Porcupine, The Piglet and the wildcards. Paul as Grandpa Monster Trejo joins previously unmasked celebrities Danny Trejo (as Raccoon), Caitlyn Jenner (as Phoenix) and Kermit the Frog (as Snail).
The Season 5 contestants boast a combined 26 Grammy nominations, nine multi-platinum singles, four Academy Award nominations, three Super Bowl appearances, six gold medals and two world records.
The show’s panelists are also once competing for a “Golden Ear” trophy based on their first impressions of each masked performer (which McCarthy won last time). Jeong and McCarthy Wahlberg each had a point so far, heading into this episode. This week, for Grandpa Monster, McCarthy Wahlberg went with Morgan Freeman; Jeong went with Emmitt Smith; Thicke’s was Jonny Manziel; and Scherzinger went with Cam Newton. None of them got a point.
Here were the other contestants and their performances on episode two, “Group B Wildcard Round — Rule of Claw”:
Piglet, “The Masked Singer” Courtesy of Fox
Piglet
Song: “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” by Andy Grammer Piglet’s 1st crush: Meg Ryan. “I’m a romantic, she’s the queen of romcoms, it’s a match made in heaven.” Panel guesses: JC Chavez, Austin Mahone, Jonathan Knight Voice-over: “Making my debut on this stage with four days notice was a wild ride. But I countered my nervious energy with a love song that made me feel right at home. When you’ve got your eye on the prize, no pain, no tears and no archnemesis can stand in your way. I always had the chops. But it was my competitive nature that made me a hometown hero. When I got to the big leagues, I never anticipated a lifetime of competition with my archrivals. But that only made me train harder. Because I never throw in the towel. Tonight, when those lights come on, it’s Friday night all over again, even on a Wednesday. Clear eyes, full belly, can’t lose.” Previous song: “Speechless,” by Dan + Shay Previous panel guesses: Adam Lambert, Charlie Puth
Black Swan, “The Masked Singer” Courtesy of Fox
Black Swan
Song: “In My Blood,” by Shawn Mendes Black Swan’s 1st crush: D’Angelo. “His voice and talent, he plays every instrument, he’s just the one for me.” Panel guesses: Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson Voice-over: “I might have seen confident while I was singing, but I was terrified. So hearing all the love from the panel felt amazing. It made me want to put into words how thankful I am to the person who brought me to life and gave me the confidence to start this journey. It hasn’t always been an easy journey for us. The higher I flew, the harder it became for them to keep up. I saw their heartbreaking, so I had to let them go. It was the hardest decision of my life. Over time, I realized I was only able to soar because of the wings they gave me. Eventually we were able to fly back into each others’ lives, just like birds of a feather do. I’m thankful we never gave up on each other, and I hope this performance shows them how much they mean to me.” Previous song: “Barracuda,” by Heart Previous panel guesses: Anya Taylor-Joy, Camilla Cabello, Leona Lewis.
Chameleon, “The Masked Singer” Courtesy of Fox
Chameleon
Song: “21 Questions,” 50 Cent feat. Nate Dogg Chameleon’s 1st crush: Salma Hayek. “I have a thing for hot ladies. And the chick right here is smokin’.” Panel guesses: Iman Shumpert, Dwyane Wade, 2 Chains Voice-over: “I knew if I was going to hold my own against these powerhouse singers, I couldn’t just blend in. I had to stand out and let my flow shine. My whol life has been about embracing what makes me unique. And I’ve made it my quest to help others shine too. When I was young, someone inseperable from me was constantly attacked for who she was. It was hard to witness, but I helped lift her up until she was ultimately able to embrace what made her unique. But then tragedy struck, and she was taken from me. It was the most difficult thing I think I ever faced. Now I honor her memory by fighting for those who don’t feel accepted. Because I want everyone to feel proud showing their true colors.” Previous song: “Ride Wit Me,” by Nelly Previous panel guesses: Dwight Howard, Redfoo, Nick Cannon
WILDCARD: Crab
Song: “Ain’t No Sunshine,” by Bill Withers 1st crush: Janet Jackson. “We grew up together on ‘Good Times.’” Panel guesses: Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill Voice-over: “All my life I dreamed of being a star. And I was blessed that my dream came true in a flash. Everyone around the globe wanted to be like me. I felt like a King Crab. But with every blessing, tragedy seems to follow. It’s been a struggle dealing with the darkness that has followed me and my family. We’ve endured so many twists, turns and traumas. But through the pain, it’s the strength of my family that allows me to stand and be a star again. My song tonight is a tribute to that love and the family members who have gone before me. Because after all the darkness, it’s time to finally let the light back in.”

The fourth episode of “The Masked Singer” on March 31 showcased the four acts from Group B who had won enough votes to stay in the competition after their debut on St. Patrick’s Day. They again took to the stage covered from head to toe in cumbersome costumes that disguised them as the Black Swan, Chameleon, Grandpa Monster and Piglet
As much fun as we have watching these celebrities sing, we get even more enjoyment out of figuring out who they are. Keep reading for “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the real name of the famous fellow hidden inside the Piglet costume. He wowed the crowd and the four judges (Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke) on March 17 with his cover of the Dan + Shay hit “Speechless.”
We aren’t buying the judges guesses that the Piglet is singers Adam Lambert or Charlie Puth. And he certainly isn’t Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth.
We think that the Piglet is Nick Lachey, the 98 Degrees boy band singer who at one time was even more famous for being married to Jessica Simpson. Disagree with us? Well consider just how well the clues offered up by Piglet match details of Nick’s life.
The clues package is themed “Love in the Mud” and told in the style of “The Bachelor.” The Piglet readily admits that while he hasn’t always been lucky in love, he remains a hopeless romantic. Indeed, he has given away a few roses in his time. And he reveals that the whole world saw his heart break; Nick and Jessica split at the height of their fame in 2005.
Lachey admits that he was smitten with Vanessa Minnillo, the beauty queen turned TV reporter, when she appeared in his 2006 video for the song “What’s Left of Me.” Like the Piglet he told Vanessa that he was in love with her on their second date. The pair have been married since 2011 and have three children. They host the Netflix reality dating competition series “Love is Blind.”
Just like the Piglet, Lachey sports several tattoos.
Nick was raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, home to the Flying Pig marathon.
Cluedle-Doo told us that “Piglet knows how to stay cool, even in the heat.” Wouldn’t you agree that 98 degrees is certainly a hot temperature?
98 Degrees had four chart-topping albums and sold 10 million discs; as a group, this season’s contestants have racked up sales of 55 million.
The group’s self-titled first album went gold while each of the next three reached platinum status; collectively the contenders for the Golden Mask have 25 gold and platinum records.
We’ll only find out if we are correct about our guess that the Piglet is Nick Lachey when he is unmasked. That will happen when he loses a vote or wins the show. Do you think we nailed the true identity of Piglet? Sound off in the comments section with your best guesses.
Be sure to make your predictions to influence our reality TV racetrack odds. You can keep changing your predictions until just before the next episode airs on Fox. You’ll compete to win eternal bragging rights and a spot on our “The Masked Singer” Season 5 leaderboard. See our contest rules and sound off with other fans in our reality TV forum.

The woman’s sister told police she had not heard from Evelyn Sakash, who was described as a "heavy hoarder," since October 2020.
The sister had recently come to New York to find Sakash and hired a cleaning crew to clear out the woman’s house in College Point on 123 Street to see if she was inside, cops said.
On the two-year anniversary of Nipsey Hussle's death, Lauren London took to Instagram to pay tribute to her partner.
She wrote, "The Day Of Ermias’ transition changed the course of my life forever. 2 years, and it feels like yesterday and eternity all at the same time. Grief and Healing have been constant companions on this journey.
"In Honor of His life and demonstration... May all of Heaven exalt Your name for all You did on Earth and beyond.

Kendall Jenner 'moves out of her West Hollywood home' after double security scare saw naked trespasser, 27, arrested and cops tell her a 'stalker', 24, wants to shoot her dead
The supermodel was told by an LAPD cop that Malik Bowker planned to kill her
He allegedly wanted to buy an illegal firearm and shoot her before killing himself
Bowker is being held in a Los Angeles psychiatric ward, court documents show
On Sunday, a trespasser broke into her home and tried to swim naked
Kendall has reportedly moved to a safe location with armed security
Kendall Jenner has reportedly moved out of her West Hollywood home after suffering a double security scare.
The supermodel, 25, was granted a restraining order on Monday against Malik Bowker, 24, after an LAPD detective said Bowker planned to buy an illegal firearm to shoot her before killing himself.
And in the early hours of Sunday, a trespasser, 27, broke into her West Hollywood home, stripped off his clothes and tried to swim before her security detained him.
Terrifying: Kendall Jenner has reportedly moved out of her West Hollywood home after suffering a double security scare
According to TMZ, Kendall has moved to a safe location with armed security, but it is unclear as yet if she plans to sell her house.
MailOnline has contacted Kendall's representatives for comment.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is said to have stepped up security following the scary threat from Bowker, and an incident with an intruder when at 2am Sunday, an alleged trespasser got onto her estate and attempted a naked swim in her pool.

Security risk: In the early hours of Sunday, a trespasser, 27, broke into her West Hollywood home (pictured)
Earlier this week it was reported that legal documents state that Bowker has been placed on a psychiatric hold at a local hospital and is due to be released, which is said to be causing the Keeping Up with the Kardashian's star 'severe emotional distress and anxiety'.
Kendall has claimed to have never met Bowker before and is petrified that he will cause her harm, which is why she applied for the restraining order that means he has to stay 100 yards away from her at all times by law.
In 2018, the brunette beauty was awarded a five-year restraining order against an alleged stalker.
Protection: Kendall was recently reported to have stepped up security following the scary threat from Bowker, and an incident with an intruder trying to swim
John Ford was arrested after he was found sitting outside her home for the second time in a week, and after Kendall was originally given a temporary document ordering Ford to stay 100 yards away from her and her home at all times, she was later granted a more permanent protective order.
Ford's arrest on October 16, 2018, came after another incident the week previous, in which he scaled the mountainside at the back of her gated complex and was spotted by her team sitting in her backyard by her pool.
Police were called at the time but Ford had gone by the time they arrived, and so no arrest was made until he was spotted once again on Kendall's front porch.
Following his arrest, Ford was held on a 5150 psychiatric hold, but after a psychiatrist deemed him to be mentally stable the following day, he was released.
However, on the morning of October 18, just hours after he was released, the LAPD then swooped in to arrest Ford once again, booking him for criminal trespass and violating a restraining order.

The true-ish story of a road trip gone to hell and back gets the big-screen treatment with Zola, a wild, provocative film from director Janicza Bravo. Taylour Paige plays a dancer who meets another woman, played by Riley Keough, and gets talked into going along on a trip to make some serious money. But nothing goes according to plan, and things go from bad to worse and then downright crazy. Watch the Zola trailer below.
Zola Trailer
On October 27, 2015, Aziah King, using the Twitter handle @_zolarmoon, took to social media and asked: “Y’all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out???????? It’s kind of long but full of suspense.” What followed was a wild and crazy thread that went viral, telling the tale of how King went on a road trip with a cast of characters who could best be described as “eccentric.” The story was indeed based on true events, although King changed some things around here and there.
Now, that Twitter thread has become a movie – Zola, a dark comedy from director Janicza Bravo. Here’s the synopsis:
“Y’all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out? It’s kind of long but full of suspense.”
Thus began the odyssey of one A’Ziah King, aka ZOLA. From acclaimed writer/director Janicza Bravo, Zola’s stranger than fiction saga, which she first told in a now iconic series of viral, uproarious tweets, comes to dazzling cinematic life.
Zola (Taylour Paige), a Detroit waitress, strikes up a new friendship with a customer, Stefani (Riley Keough), who seduces her to join a weekend of dancing and partying in Florida. What at first seems like a glamorous trip full of “hoeism” rapidly transforms into a 48-hour journey involving a nameless pimp, an idiot boyfriend, some Tampa gangsters and other unexpected adventures in this wild, see-it-to-believe-it tale.
In addition to Paige and Keough, Zola also stars Nicholas Braun, Ari’el Stachel, and Colman Domingo. I caught Zola at Sundance 2020, and it exhausted me. It’s a sensory overload of a movie, and it’s going to wow some viewers while turning others off. One thing is for sure: Taylour Paige is phenomenal in the lead, and she needs to become a huge star, immediately. As I wrote in my review:
It’s the performances that keep Zola afloat. Keough can play this type of gum-snapping, slang-slinging character in her sleep, and she’s quite funny as the babyish Stefani, who isn’t as clueless and innocent as she makes herself out to be. But this is Paige’s show. As Zola, Paige’s comic timing is electric, and she brings a much-needed amount of sympathy and empathy to the proceedings. If this movie doesn’t make her a huge star, something is seriously wrong.
Covering up Travis Barker's tattoos is no small thing.
After all, the Blink-182 rocker—who is currently dating Kourtney Kardashian—is covered in body art. Still, it looks like his 15-year-old daughter Alabama—who Barker welcomed with ex-wife Shanna Moakler in 2005—was up for the challenge of tackling his face ink.
In a video posted to Instagram on March 30, the teen sat down with her dad and some KVD Beauty foundation—she's a partner for the brand— and got to work.
"My dad let me give him a makeover," she explained on Instagram. "Covered up his face tattoos with @kvdbeauty's new Good Apple Foundation. The coverage of this formula had us both shocked…"
But, before she could properly cover them up, Alabama tried out a few of the foundation shades on her musician father to see which matched his skin tone. Then, she quickly covered up the "Blessed" tattoo adorning his cheekbone.
During the adorable clip, she asked her dad where he got his first tattoo (his leg) and which one is his favorite. As he quipped back, "Probably the one you just covered."

"Framing Britney Spears," which aired in February, profiled the singer's traumatic life in the spotlight and delved into the court-sanctioned conservatorship that gives her father, Jamie Spears, power over her finances and personal affairs.
Responding to the film on Tuesday night, Spears told her 29 million Instagram followers that she had "cried for two weeks" following its broadcast.
"My life has always been very speculated ... watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!" she wrote, alongside a video of her dancing to the Aerosmith song "Crazy" in her home.
The 39-year-old continued: "I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people!!! It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I've always been so judged... insulted... and embarrassed by the media... and I still am till this day!!!! As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people!!!
According to Spears, she didn't watch the documentary in its entirety but was "embarrassed" by how she was portrayed.
"I didn't watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in ... I cried for two weeks and well .... I still cry sometimes!!!!"
Samantha Stark, the director of the New York Times-made documentary, told Entertainment Tonight last month that her team "tried everything" to secure an interview with Spears but got nowhere.
After touching on the documentary, Spears said in her Instagram post: "I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy ... love ... and happiness!!!! Every day dancing brings me joy!!! I'm not here to be perfect ... perfect is boring ... I'm here to pass on kindness !!!!"
CNN has reached out to Spears' representatives for further comment.
The singer has been subject to a court-ordered conservatorship since 2008, following a series of personal issues that played out publicly.
At a hearing on the conservatorship in November, her lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, asked a Los Angeles judge to permanently remove the elder Spears from his role, saying the singer would not be returning to the stage while he remained in control of her fortune.

Prince Harry and Meghan were legally married at Windsor Castle, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.
During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said the couple exchanged vows three days before their official wedding in May 2018.
Justin Welby said he would have been "committing a serious crime" if he had signed the marriage certificate on the actual day, knowing it was false.
But he met the couple "in a private and pastoral setting" beforehand, he said.

During a revelatory two-hour interview earlier this month, Meghan told Oprah: "You know, three days before our wedding we got married."
She said: "No one knows that. But we called the Archbishop, and we just said, 'Look, this thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us'.
"So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury."
The Most Reverend was speaking to a group of European newspapers when he was asked to address Meghan's remarks.
He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "I met the Duke and Duchess of Sussex several times in a private and pastoral setting before the official ceremony on Saturday 19 May 2018. That day was the day of the marriage.
"If I had signed the certificate on a different day, I would have been committing a serious crime. The marriage was celebrated on the 19 May. But I won't say what occurred in our other meetings."
The interview contained plenty of revelations, including the claim that Meghan and Harry had exchanged vows in private a few days before the ceremony.
"You know, three days before our wedding, we got married," said Meghan. "No one knows that. The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury."
However, Welby, who led the couple in their public vows on May 19, 2018, has now dismissed that claim.
"The legal wedding was on the Saturday. I signed the wedding certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious criminal offense if I had signed it knowing it was false," Welby said, in comments first reported by Italian newspaper La Repubblica and confirmed to CNN by Lambeth Palace.
"So, you can make what you like of that. But the legal wedding was on the Saturday, but I won't say what happened at any earlier meetings," the archbishop added.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, becoming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, in January last year, the pair announced they would step back from the royal family.
Earlier this month, they used a heavily trailed interview with Oprah to discuss their experiences, including allegations of racism within the family itself and Meghan's admission that she felt suicidal during her pregnancy.
The two-hour TV special was highly anticipated because Harry and Meghan are now allowed to speak more freely about the royal family after their effective split from the palace.
In one of the interview's most startling revelations, Meghan said an unnamed member of the family raised the issue of how dark their unborn baby Archie's skin would be while she was pregnant.
There were several "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born," she said.

Britney Spears responded to Framing Britney Spears in a lengthy Instagram post, writing that she was “embarrassed by the light they put me in.” The post, which shows Spears dancing to Aerosmith’s “Crazy,” details her thoughts on the documentary, which premiered on Hulu in February.
“My life has always been very speculated… watched… and judged really my whole life,” Spears wrote to her 29 million followers, adding that she’s felt “judged” and “insulted” by the media. “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in,” she continued. “I cried for two weeks and well…. I still cry sometimes !!!!”
Since the release of Framing Britney Spears, there have been renewed calls to #FreeBritney, bringing the singer’s conservatorship by her father into question. Last month, a lawyer for Spears’ father Jamie, Vivian Lee Thoreen, told CNN, NBC News and Good Morning America that Jamie only has his daughter’s best interests in mind.
“[Jamie] would love nothing more than to see Britney not need a conservatorship,” Thoreen told CNN. “Whether or not there is an end to the conservatorship really depends on Britney. If she wants to end her conservatorship, she can file a petition to end it.”
While Britney has remained largely silent since the documentary premiered until now, her boyfriend Sam Asghari slammed Jamie in a February Instagram post. “Now it’s important for people to understand that I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles our way,” Asghari wrote. “In my opinion, Jamie is a total dick.”
The BBC has announced plans for the release of an upcoming documentary on Spears’ conservatorship to follow Framing Britney Spears. Helmed by BAFTA-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar, the film, tentatively titled Britney, will center on the #FreeBritney movement and the singer’s recent court appearances. It has yet to receive a confirmed air date.
The slogan "Just Do It" neatly sums up Nike's ethos. The same might be said of the three words that greet visitors to the LinkedIn page for a much smaller company called MSCHF: "Nothing is sacred."
The defiantly iconoclastic spirit of MSCHF has been on full display this week with the online debut of "Satan Shoes" — 666 pairs of customized Nike Air Max 97s the company produced in collaboration with the rapper Lil Nas X.
Nike, which has insisted it had nothing to do with the modified sneakers, filed a lawsuit Monday against MSCHF, alleging that the "unauthorized Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF’s products and Nike."
In recent years, MSCHF — a Brooklyn-based outfit that reportedly employs a handful of people — has cultivated a reputation on the online fringes of mainstream retail with a series of outré products and viral stunts, and an anything-goes attitude.
March 30, 202103:08
The company, puckishly blurring the lines between the cheeky and the morbid, previously drew attention with an app that chooses stocks based on your astrological sign, a bath bomb shaped like a toaster and an item called Puff the Squeaky Chicken — a chicken-shaped bong that squeaks when you smoke it.
The products are at once cynical bids for attention in a crowded digital marketplace and gleeful middle fingers to the corporate respectability of e-commerce behemoths like Amazon. (MSCHF's avatar on LinkedIn is a modified version of Amazon's smiley-face logo.)
MSCHF is not exactly an e-commerce platform, though. It might be just as fitting to describe it as an experimental art project or the ultimate anti-brand. It churns out some novelty items that would not be out of place at stores like Urban Outfitters even as it skewers that very idea.
"We're trying to do stuff that the world can't even define," MSCHF founder Gabriel Whaley told Business Insider in January. "Our perspective is everything is funny in a nihilistic sort of way. We're not here to make the world a better place. We're making light of how much everything sucks."
"Satan Shoes," however, might also be here to help promote a new track. The release of the customized sneakers coincides with the debut of Lil Nas X's latest single, "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)," and an accompanying music video that uses religious imagery to depict the artist's coming-out story.
The shoes, priced at $1,018 (an allusion to the Satan-themed Bible verse Luke 10:18) each contain a drop of human blood (drawn from members of the MSCHF team) inside the sole, the company confirmed Sunday. The sneakers sold out not long after they went on sale Monday.
MSCHF did not immediately respond to an interview request sent to its press email address Tuesday afternoon. Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, is not named as a defendant in Nike's lawsuit.
It stands to reason that a company that thrives on pushing buttons will not be immediately cowed by criticism, whether in the form of Nike's legal challenge or a hand-wringing tweet from Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota.
The same appeared to be true of Lil Nas X. The artist put out a brief YouTube video Sunday titled "Lil Nas X Apologizes for Satan Shoe." He holds up the shoe and begins speaking — and then the video cuts to a sexually charged clip from "Montero."
