'As good as I am, this detective-ing thing is only a hobby. I spend most of my time on massive movie sets. Yes, even bigger than The Hangover. There's not an Oscar I don't know.'
Lucky Duck then impressed viewers with a choreographed dance to Queen's I Want to Break Free surrounded by backup dancers.
Rita, 34, in particular was desperate to uncover Lucky Duck's identity admitting 'it's completely killing me!'
To the show chant of 'take it off' Lucky Duck was then unveiled as Rita's husband, 49.
The Marvel universe director quipped 'I'm a pop star, America!' with a flabbergasted Rita rendered speechless.

He added, 'How I kept the secret? She's always here.'
Rita and her husband wed in a secret ceremony in August 2022, after the singer bucked tradition and popped the question.

After years of not being in the right relationship during her 'messy twenties', Rita said that when she got together with Taika it felt 'right and safe'.
Reflecting on her past, she told the publication last year: 'My love life has been colourful, to say the least. But how wicked is it that we can make those choices for ourselves?.
She added: I was groggy all the time [during her twenties]. I wanted to feel awake and that my brain was switched on.
Rita continued: 'What makes me go 'urgh' is when people pour so much responsibility into somebody else to make themselves feel how they want to feel.
'That's a disaster, a car crash. You'll always be unsatisfied, I was that person.'

Joined by her family, including her partner Van Hunt, 55, she has been posting about the vacation, having already visited parts of Arizona and Utah. Over the last few days, the Oscar winner has been sharing content on Instagram from their time at Amangiri Resort in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It's included Halle posting about enjoying a spa day at the resort recently. One post featured a series of photos from the experience. One showed Halle in a robe, whilst others showcased the spa facilities at the location. Another showed her posing in a bathroom, with her head and arm visible in a mirror. Reflections in faucets above the sink however appeared to show more of Halle's seemingly naked body. Some fans have since pointed it out in the comments section. Her partner Van has also reacted to the photo of her, with the singer writing beside a heart-eyed emoji: "3 got me geeked." Halle shared in the caption of the post that she was taking care of her body. Alongside the photos, accompanied by Doechii's song BLOOM, she wrote: "And then ... we spa! Taking care of my body. It's the only place I have to live!" Halle has been posting about her road trip on the platform lately. She teased two weeks ago that the "next adventure" would see her family face their "fears" and "grow for real," before sharing updates over their activities since then. Just last week, she told her followers that they had been at the Hoodoo Trail.

It accompanied a photo that featured a message for her followers. It read: "Heaven operates in times and seasons, not calendars. Spiritually, when you outstay your welcome in a former version of yourself or a former assignment, the grace for that cycle begins to dry up." The message that was included in her post three days ago continued: "You'll notice that things that used to work no longer work. That doors that used to open are now closed. The patterns you once relied on, now begin to frustrate you. "So when God allows everything to hit you at once, it's not punishment. It's a mass exit of expired alignments. He's allowing the collapse of things that were secretly limiting you, even if they were once blessings."

Kris Jenner fans claim they've spotted SIX toes on the star's foot as she poses in sandals and chic dress for her mother MJ's 91st birthday lunch
Kris Jenner fans claimed that they spotted six toes on the star's foot as she posed in new snaps on Tuesday. The momager, 69, slipped into a pair of sandals and chic dress for her mother Mary Jo 'MJ' Campbell 91st birthday lunch. She penned in the caption of her post: 'Oscar de la Renta for my mom's 91st birthday lunch. Makeup by @etienneortega, hair by @oskarperahair. Dress, cardigan and bag by @oscardelarenta.' But fans were quick to point out that it looked like she had an extra toe in the snaps as they penned: 'Does she have 6 toes are am I trippin?' 'You have 6 toes??', '6 toe steppa...', 'I saw that too!' Others then rightly pointed out that it was just because the bottom of her sandal was a nude colour that it looked like another toe. Kris' daughter Kim has in the past been forced to deny she had six toes after some Photoshop blunders. In 2020 she attempted to clear the air once and for all video taping her foot and counting out each toe. In a series of videos posted to her Instagram story she called the theory she has an extra toe 'really wild.' 'Everyone thinks that I have six toes, and it's really wild,' she said while filming her foot. After counting her toes, noting there are only five, she pointed out it is part of the side and bottom of her foot that when pushed down in an open toed shoe can look like an extra foot digit. 'But it's this, part of my foot, that when I wear a shoe just like this it like smashes down right here and in a picture,' Kim said. 'I don't know why, it looks like a sixth toe.' She captioned the video, 'very baffling.' 'I hope that answered my sixth toe question,' Kim said. 'Because I only have five toes on each foot.' Fans were quick to point out that it looked like she had an extra toe in the snaps as they penned: 'Does she have 6 toes are am I trippin?' After the clip was shared, fans rushed to Twitter to express their bemusement, penning: 'Wait so does Kim kardashian have 6 toes or nah?'; '@KimKardashian how many toes you got?' 'Ok now I can sleep now that @KimKardashian has proven to us she only has 5 toes and not 6. Goodnight'; '@KimKardashian is so funny! Literally dying at the post on her ig story about her 'sixth' toe'; 'The fact that Kim Kardashian had to get on camera and prove to yall she didn't have a 6th toe is just...' The year before in 2019 while promoting the Kylie Jenner by KKW fragrance collaboration with her little sister, fans thought they spotted a Photoshop fail or an extra toe all together. Comments began calling out what appeared to be a Photoshop fail, with one fan joking, 'why you got six toes?' But it was Kim's left foot that caught fans' attention. The TV personality wore clear stilettos on her one exposed foot - and it certainly looked like she had an extra digit. Fans - including gossip blogger Perez Hilton - couldn't resist poking fun of the toe. 'Am I tripping or does Kim have 6 toes? Someone explain, I'm so confused! I counted so many times,' another user said. One user simply asked: 'six toes sis?' Perez joked 'that sixth toe is iconic.'

Francis Ford Coppola 'hospitalised in Italy' after attending film festival
Director Francis Ford Coppola has reportedly been hospitalised in Italy. The Godfather director, 86, was in country for the Magna Grecia Festival in Calabria to present his controversial movie, Megalopolis, which stars Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, and Giancarlo Esposito. It is understood the movie director entered the hospital this morning for scheduled heart surgery but after arriving, he reportedly experienced a mild cardiac arrhythmia and was placed under observation before surgery. He spent a lot of the summer in Italy scouting locations for his new film, which is said to start filming this autumn, as reported by ANSA. While at the film festival, he said to the crowd: "Young people tell me the world is a mess, but I tell them there's no problem that humanity can't solve. We must build a great new future, and do it together for the sake of our children. And tonight, we're taking a leap into the future." The legendary director has close ties to the country after his grandfather, Agostino, emigrated from Bernalda in the early 1900s. In 1989, Francis became an honoray citizen of the town he spends a lot of his time. The Mirror have reached out to his reps for comment. Earlier this month, the Apocalypse Now director appeared at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts to take part in a Q&A session following a screening of Megalopolis. The decades-in-the-making project, which received mixed reviews, stars Adam Driver as a rich and tortured visionary trying to build a utopian city while rowing with a conservative mayor. The film cost a whopping $120million but grossed just over $14million worldwide. However, Coppola wasn't bothered by the box office results and said: "I lost my wife a year ago, around this time. But my attitude for death is that I always lived my life so that when I was at the moment approaching death, I wouldn't say, 'Oh, I wish I had done this and I wish I had done that.' Instead, I say to myself, 'I got to do this.'' 'I got to see my daughter win an Oscar. I got to see my father win an Oscar. I'm going to be so busy saying all the things I got to do that when I die, I'm not going to notice it. When I die, I'm not going to notice it. You know how your electric toothbrush just shuts off when you least expect it? That's what death is like.'
