Image
So close! Judges Nicole Scherzinger , Robin Thicke , Jenny McCarthy and Ken Jeong came close to identifying Grandpa Monster during the Wednesday, March 31, episode of The Masked Singer . Plus, a new contestant named Crab joined the competition during the wildcard round. Group B — made up of Grandpa Monster, Piglet, The Black Swan and The Chameleon — performed and offered fresh clues about themselves during the episode. Grandpa Monster went first with an energized rendition of Joan Jett ’s “Bad Reputation.” “I’ve always hated the sound of my singing voice, but being Grandpa Monster, it’s given me a new kind of confidence,” he teased. “I haven’t felt this free since the time I stranded myself in the wild, castaway just to see if I could survive. Left without food, water and shelter, I mean, I was terrified. There were wild creatures everywhere. It definitely was a challenge, but I made it out by the skin of my three teeth. And now I’m here to take on another challenge: securing that...

Riverdale's Camila Mendes Has No Idea Where Alien Story Line Is Headed

Aliens, mothmen and more! Riverdale has completely shifted gears over the years — so much so that the cast isn’t even sure what’s happening next. 'Riverdale' Cast's Dating History: Inside Their Offscreen Love Lives Read article “I’m so curious to see where that’s headed,” Camila Mendes  told Us Weekly exclusively about the alien story line on Monday, March 30, while promoting her partnership with Secret. “Unfortunately, [creator] Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] doesn’t tell us much. We’re on the edge of our seats just as much as the audience is.”   The series jumped seven years into the future during season 5 and now takes place in 2021, allowing the actors to play closer to their own ages. For Mendes, 26, it’s been especially exciting to see Veronica Lodge grow. “Well, Veronica still says Daddy as an adult, but I think there’s a lot that’s changed. I think Veronica feels way more assertive, which I never thought was possible because she already was so assertive as a teen...

Comedy couples! Saturday Night Live may be known for bringing laughs to viewers, but it’s also brought tons of stars together. From old-school SNL veterans like Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray , to more recent stars such as Colin Jost and Pete Davidson , a ton of the late-night staple’s cast has met their significant others while working on the NBC show. Akroyd fell in love with Carrie Fisher on the set of the Blues Brothers after initially meeting on the sketch comedy series. The pair later got engaged but called off the romance in 1980. Following the Stars Wars actress’ death in December 2016, the Ghostbusters actor penned a heartfelt tribute to Fisher . “One of the most brilliant and hilarious minds of our eon, Carrie would say things like: ‘I love tiny babies. When they cry, they turn red and look like screaming tomatoes.’ OR ‘This romance is finished the second you let out even a threep. I’ll be sick for a year,’” he wrote in an essay for Empire magazine in January 2017. “A...

TV Stars Who Left Hit Shows

It’s never easy to say goodbye, even if it’s a television goodbye. While no TV show can last forever – well, Law & Order: SVU is in the running – the cast doesn’t always stay as long . Many actors choose to leave after their contracts end. Some give the networks a lengthy heads-up, while others just seem to up and vanish, leaving the writers to scramble (see below!). Regardless, the show must go on. One of the most talked about exits was in May 2017, when Sophia Bush decided to leave Chicago P.D. after season 4. She played the lead role of Detective Erin Lindsay on the NBC drama and was written out of the show with a cliffhanger – her character was offered a job in New York to join the FBI. Many thought this could mean she would pop up on Law & Order: SVU – another show written by Dick Wolf which has done a crossover with P.D. before – but over the years, it was made apparent that was not happening. In multiple interviews since her exit, Bush explained that she went to ...

Mention It All! Real Housewives’ Legal Troubles Through the Years

Image
Being a Real Housewife isn’t all diamonds and rosé. Several Bravolebrities have made headlines for money woes, legal drama and court cases over the years. While some franchises tackle the lawsuits on air — including Real Housewives of New Jersey’ s Teresa and Joe Giudice ’s fraud case and Real Housewives of New York City ’s Sonja Morgan ’s bankruptcy filing — other shows try to keep the courtroom proceedings off air. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley , for example, was accused of owing money to her former business partner in 2018. While the Beverly Beach designer was confronted about the situation during the cast trip to the Bahamas, the incident did not air on season 9 of RHOBH . The tense moment was, however, captured by onlookers and shared on social media. Dorit called the viral video “embarrassing” on What What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in April 2019. “Obviously it happened, it’s all over the Internet,” she said at the time. “I was grateful that the ot...
