Who was behind the mask? Latest ‘Masked Singer' reveal uncovers star linked to TLC
Actor Matthew Lawrence was unmasked after performing TLC's hit song 'Unpretty,' in a moment that tied in with a personal connection. His performance, along with a clue referencing a reptile zoo and a famous family, led panellist Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg to correctly guess his identity. Other guesses from the panel included Frankie Muniz, Jason Ritter and Ben Savage.
Lawrence, known for his roles in Boy Meets World and Brotherly Love, is in a relationship with Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas of TLC, a connection teased ahead of the unmasking.
In his pre-recorded segment, he stated, 'Man, if you had told me that this little guy would still be standing here, I'd say you're crazy. Because I've never sang before.' He added, 'The next song is the biggest hint to my identity yet. So listen closely.'
This season has already featured several celebrity reveals including Erika Jayne, Method Man, Candace Cameron Bure, James Van Der Beek, and Oscar de la Hoya. The 'Lucky 6' episode gathered finalists from all three groups — A, B, and C — with characters like Coral, Pearl, Boogie Woogie, Nessy, and Mad Scientist Monster still in play.
Panel regulars Nick Cannon, Rita Ora, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Robin Thicke returned, with Ora continuing to fill in for Nicole Scherzinger.
The Masked Singer Season 13 continues on Fox with themed nights and more celebrity unmaskings ahead.

Cosby Show' star Malcolm-Jamal Warner dies aged 54
Warner was on vacation in Costa Rica with his family at the time of the incident. Photo: File American actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played Bill Cosby's son Theo on the 1980s groundbreaking television hit The Cosby Show, died at age 54 on Monday by drowning, a law enforcement source confirmed to Reuters. Warner was vacationing in Costa Rica with his family, media reported. The Central American nation's judicial investigation department (OIJ) confirmed that a US citizen with the last name Warner had drowned after being pulled out to sea by a rip current. He was declared lifeless at the scene by Red Cross lifeguards, the department said. Representatives for Warner did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The NAACP posted a photo of the late actor on Instagram along with a caption. "#RestinPower, to NAACP Image Award winning actor, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Your talent and spirit touched many lives, and your legacy will continue to inspire," the caption said. Warner won the outstanding actor in a comedy series award from the NAACP for the series Reed Between the Lines in 2012. Fox Entertainment also issued a statement on Monday about Warner's passing. "Everyone at Fox is heartbroken by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, the extraordinary Malcolm-Jamal Warner. While his iconic roles – from comedic to dramatic – are unforgettable and timeless," the statement said. Warner played Dr AJ Austin on the Fox medical drama series The Resident. The Cosby Show, which aired from 1984 to 1992, was one of the earliest portrayals of a successful, stable and wholesome Black American family on television, which challenged negative stereotypes. Cosby portrayed a doctor, and Warner played his only son. Warner, who was born on August 18, 1970, grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, with his mother, Pamela, who eventually became his acting manager. He was named after civil rights leader Malcolm X and jazz musician Ahmad Jamal. At an early age, Warner found he was interested in acting, which launched his career as a child performer and set him on the path to attend The Professional Children's School in New York. While he had some small television roles early in his career, playing Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show served as Warner's breakout role. The actor received an Emmy nomination in 1986 for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his role on the NBC series. Warner won a Grammy award in 2015 for best traditional R&B performance for the song Jesus Children. The 54-year-old actor also had roles in The Cosby Show spin-off series A Different World, Jeremiah, Sons of Anarchy, Suits and hosted Saturday Night Live in 1986. He has a wife and daughter but never publicly disclosed their names.

Little People, Big World's Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler end engagement
Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has confirmed that he and fiancée Caryn Chandler have ended their engagement. The reality TV personality shared the news via Instagram on Tuesday, July 22, explaining the couple's decision to part ways after more than six years together. 'Caryn and I have decided to part ways & end our engagement,' Roloff, 63, wrote. 'Life's a continued journey and this is the right step for us at this time.' He added that the two remain on good terms, writing, 'We will always appreciate the many wonderful memories we have shared.' Roloff and Chandler, 58, began dating publicly in 2017, about nine months after Matt finalized his divorce from ex-wife Amy Roloff. The pair got engaged in April 2023, with Roloff announcing they were planning a 'simple but elegant' wedding for 2024. Their engagement, however, stirred mixed emotions within the Roloff family. During season 25 of the TLC reality series, Matt and Amy's son Zach was notably silent when asked about his father's engagement, responding, 'I don't wanna talk about it.' Amy, 62, also shared her reservations on the show, saying she wasn't sure if she would attend the wedding out of respect for the couple's moment. In a February 2024 interview with Us Weekly, Amy said her relationship with Chandler had evolved. 'We're cordial, we're respectful. We can be in each other's company,' she explained, adding that filming with her ex and his fiancée had been a 'process.' Despite the breakup, Matt expressed optimism for the future, thanking fans for their support and committing to move forward 'with positivity and trust in the path ahead.'
