It was the end of the line for Grandpa Monster on Fox’s The Masked Singer, as the ginger thing was revealed to be a YouTube star.
Group B assembled Wednesday night (March 31), with Grandpa Monster, Piglet, The Black Swan, The Chameleon and a new competitor Crab entering the game.
Grandpa Monster wound back the clock for a performance of Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation”; Piglet hammed it up for a rendition of Andy Grammer’s “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)”; The Black Swan spread her sings for Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood”; Chameleon hit 50 Cent and Nate Dogg’s “21 Questions;” and Crab sidestepped nothing with a charming cover of the late Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine”.
Time ran out for Grandpa Monster, however, as he was eliminated and sent home. But not before revealing the human underneath…Logan Paul.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Last week, Britney Spears took to Twitter to share some of the women who have “truly inspired” her life, and the first photo in her tweet was actress Sharon Stone. While the pick might have seemed out of left field, it turns out the pair have been in touch for awhile now — including at one of the toughest points in Spears’ life.
On Wednesday’s (March 31) Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer/host asked Stone about Spears calling her an inspiration, and the Basic Instinct star shared a surprising story about the pop star.
“Britney wrote to me a very long and poignant letter during a very difficult time in her life — about the time when … she shaved her head — wanting me to help her,” Stone said, recalling Spears’ very public struggles back in 2007, right before she was involuntarily committed to the hospital. “I was in a very difficult time in my life and I couldn’t help myself. But the truth of the matter is, we both needed help — she needed help, and I needed help.”
Spears’ hospitalization led to the conservatorship that still controls her finances to this day, and that arrangement is currently under a microscope thanks to the Framing Britney Spears documentary released on FX and Hulu last month.
“The true fact of it is, it’s very hard to be a very successful woman and not have everyone controlling you, taking your finances and handling you,” Stone continued, alluding to Spears’ situation, in which her father controls her finances and her business deals. “Women, and I’m sure all of the young stars, get handled. You get handled so much that it’s just — there is a huge breaking point, and there’s a point where you get broken.
“The thing with Britney Spears is so out of control and so awful, and I can say it’s been very out of control and very awful more than once in my life,” Stone told Clarkson. “And I have certainly had it. And it’s very complicated to take control of your life. It’s very hard to get control of your finances.”
Back in October, months before the premiere of Framing Britney Spears but in the thick of the fan-driven #FreeBritney movement, Stone commented on one of Spears’ Instagram posts: “You have a right to an attorney NOT provided by your family !! You can get your own attorney ! You deserve that .”
On Tuesday, Spears herself made her first public statement about the New York Times documentary that examines her controversial conservatorship, writing on Instagram, “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 !!!! 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 !!!!”
Among the other inspirational women Spears shared via Twitter on March 24: Miley and Noah Cyrus, Natalie Portman and her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears.

Chrissy Teigen will grace the front of People magazine’s “The Beautiful Issue” in a cover story that delves into her evolved definition of beauty, facing racism growing up and her heartbreaking miscarriage last year.
The magazine revealed the cover Wednesday (March 31) of the annual issue, which hits newsstands Friday.
On this year’s cover, Teigen appears smiling along with her children Luna, 4, and Miles, 2, with the quote “I’ve learned how strong I am.” The 35-year-old model and cookbook author is married to R&B crooner John Legend, who was named Sexiest Man Alive by the magazine in 2019.
Teigen, who is of Thai-Norwegian descent, said she wants to follow her Thai tradition in remembering her son, Jack, who died at 20 weeks of her pregnancy. She was hospitalized with excessive bleeding before the miscarriage. She said it’s important for Luna and Milles to stayed connected with their late brother and always “embrace the ones that we’ve lost” based on her tradition.
“We have this new home that we’re building, and this tree being planted inside,” she told the magazine. “The whole reason why I wanted it was so Jack’s ashes could be in that soil, and he could be with us all the time and grow through the beautiful leaves.”
Over the years, Teigen said her definition of beauty has evolved after giving birth to her children. She has taken a proud stance of embracing her healed scars as a mother.
“Beauty is being able to see how powerful your body is,” she said. “It’s really, really nice to be able to come to an age where I can appreciate every little scar and see my body as something that’s done incredible, miraculous things. The difference is these two beautiful, wonderful babies, and these scars are the things I’ve been through and the journeys I’ve healed from.”
Motherhood has also changed Teigen’s views on her wellness. She used to enforce a strict eating regimen during her modeling days, dealing with the ups and downs of the diet culture. But now, Teigen is focused on what makes her feel good and does her best to “indulge in it.”
“I’ve spent way too many years counting calories and scheduling way too many workouts and trying to figure out what ‘wellness’ meant to me,” she said. “Now I know that it’s on the ground playing with my kids or going to an aquarium or a park.”
Teigen touched on enduring racism while growing up. She often had friends — Black or white — who protected her after racist comments. She said some of her friends got suspended from school for defending her.
As Teigen grew older, she saw more racism occur during her modeling career. “I experienced more everyday casual racism once I entered the modeling world,” she said. “When they needed someone racially ambiguous — that’s what they called it — that was always going to be me.”
People’s announcement comes a week after Teigen quit Twitter, citing it as a negative influence on her life. She wrote in a final series of posts that criticism she’d endured on the site had left her “deeply bruised.”
Addison Rae has responded after she faced heavy backlash for not crediting the mostly Black creators of dances she recently performed on The Tonight Show.
Rae, a social media star born Addison Easterling, told TMZ it was not her intention to snub those who brainstormed the moves.
“I think they were all credited in the original YouTube posting, but it’s kinda hard to credit during the show,” she said. “But they all know that I love them so much and I mean, I support all of them so much. And hopefully one day we can all meet up and dance together.”
The creators of the dances are listed in the credits of the YouTube clip from the show but were not identified on the show or within the video on YouTube.
Asked if host Jimmy Fallon or anyone from The Tonight Show had been in contact over the heat she was taking, Rae said the show was discussing the incident “behind the scenes.” Dance creators such as @jazlynebaybee, @flyboyfu, @yvnggprince and @theemyanicole are listed in the Tonight Show video.
“They deserve all the credit because they came up with these amazing trends,” she said.

Grammy winners Beyoncé and Blue Ivy had a carefree beach day in Malibu on Wednesday (March 31), and Bey shared some rare family photos.
The “Brown Skin Girl” mother-daughter duo made history at the 2021 Grammy Awards, when Queen Bey broke the record for most Grammys won by a woman (and vocalist of any gender) and Blue, 9, became the second-youngest person to win a Grammy. The two took a much-deserved break at Nobu in Malibu, Calif., bringing back the duck face with their swaggy glasses in a new photo series on Bey’s Instagram.
Although Jay-Z was absent from the fam outing, 3-year-old twins Rumi and Sir appear very grown up while walking on the beach near the water in subsequent pictures.
The “Black Parade” singer also shared two separate carousels of her ‘fit pics, flexing her denim two-piece set, white ribbed crop top, giant diamond necklace, embellished bowtie pumps and black Chanel purse. She even posts up by a wall completely stocked with Jay’s Armand De Brignac (also known as Ace of Spades) champagne. (Moet Hennessy recently bought a 50% stake in the brand.)
