Rita Ora left speechless by shocking Masked Singer moment
The Masked Singer season 13 took a dramatic turn during its semi-finals episode on April 30, when Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi was unmasked as the season's surprise character Lucky Duck. The twist stunned viewers—and judge Rita Ora, who is Waititi's wife. Lucky Duck had been dropping clues throughout the season but fully entered the competition during the semi-finals, interrupting the elimination process and using the "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell to send all four remaining contestants—Coral, Boogie Woogie, Pearl, and Mad Scientist Monster—to the finale. Then came the shocker: Lucky Duck unmasked himself without prompting, revealing his identity to the judges. Waititi joked, 'I'm a pop star, America!' and added that he joined the show just to see his wife. 'You guys got her working so hard, I never get to see her,' he said playfully. The semi-finals also featured standout performances, with Coral singing Billie Eilish's 'What Was I Made For?' and Boogie Woogie tackling Maroon 5's 'Maps.' Pearl delivered 'You Don't Own Me' while Mad Scientist Monster performed 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' by Shaboozey. Season 13 has already unmasked stars like Edwin McCain, Erika Jayne, James Van Der Beek, Candace Cameron Bure, and Method Man. Hosted by Nick Cannon with judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Rita Ora, the season finale airs May 7 at 8 p.m. on FOX. Fans can expect even more surprises as the remaining contestants battle for the Golden Mask Trophy.

Livvy Dunne left in tears after life-changing decision
Livvy Dunne could be seen shedding a tear as she officially bid farewell to gymnastics in an emotional video after announcing her retirement. Dunne, who had long been expected to hang up her leotard once her eligibility with the Tigers ended, revealed last week that her gymnastics career is over after LSU's national title bid ended in defeat. The TikTok sensation had five seasons with LSU, instead of the traditional four, due to being in Baton Rogue during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now she will enter the real world with LSU's season over, bringing an end to her 20-year journey in the sport. After calling it quits, Livvy sat down to look back through some of her career highlights as part of a farewell video put together by the Tigers, which eventually left her in tears as the emotions took their toll. 'Time flies when you're having fun,' Dunne narrates in the video, with 'What Was I Made For?' by Billie Eilish playing in the background. 'Something said when you're enjoying yourself to the point time seems to slip away from you. And that's exactly how the past 20 years in this sport have felt.' 'The highs, the lows, making the USA national team and competing for our country, every risk was worth the reward. Finishing my career over the past five years of the best university in the world has been an incredible journey, and I'm forever grateful.' 'Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and shaped be a part of me. You've shaped me into the person I am today, creating memories and sisterhoods that will last a life support. You are my first love. 'To my family, especially my parents. Thank you for everything, for supporting me through it all, and to my childhood coaches from New Jersey and the LSU coaching staff, thank you for pushing me to be great. and yes, time did fly by, and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life. 'Thank you for everything gymnastics. You were so good to me.' After the footage concluded inside the PMAC, Dunne was visibly emotional, knowing her athletic journey had reached its end. Dunne became one of the faces of college sports during the NIL era as one of the top earners, regardless of gender. She had an NIL evaluation of more than $4million, per On3Sports, which is more than double that of the current highest-earner, fellow LSU star Flau'jae Johnson. Now the social-media beauty can start her professional career, expanding on the NIL deals she had not under the NCAA's umbrella.

George Clooney is farming and driving a tractor. Seriously
George Clooney is living a life that might be surprising to many. The esteemed actor and director opened up about his life with his wife, Amal Clooney, and their seven-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, in an interview with the New York Times. They have homes in England and near his family in Kentucky, he told the publication, but their primary residence these days is a farm in France. 'Growing up in Kentucky, all I wanted to do was get away from a farm, get away from that life,' Clooney said. 'Now I find myself back in that life. I drive a tractor and all those things. It's the best chance of a normal life.' Clooney as a farmer and it's not for a role? It's true, though people would be forgiven if they thought it was for a project. After all, the New York Times story opens with an anecdote about Clooney smoking, not because he likes to, but for his upcoming Broadway debut as Edward R. Murrow in a stage adaptation of his 2005 movie, 'Good Night, and Good Luck.' 'I had to get better at inhaling,' Clooney explained. 'I go outside so the kids don't see and smoke a little bit.' It's not something he enjoys given that within his extended family, 'eight uncles and aunts all died of lung cancer — it's a big deal.' His aunt, singer and actress Rosemary Clooney, who died in 2002 at the age 74, was among his impacted loved ones. The actor's father, journalist Nick Clooney, bucked the trend. 'My dad's the only one that didn't smoke, and he's 91,' the younger Clooney said. Something the star has done recently that he did enjoy was bowling, though he said he had last bowled 30 years ago. 'Oh my God,' he said. 'It's an amazing thing, getting older, where you think you can still do stuff that you love.' The 63-year-old said his twins help to keep him active and young. 'We're riding in the car to school and I make them listen to heavy metal because I just like it when they sing. My daughter has fallen in love with tragic songs,' he said. 'She loves Billie Eilish's 'What Was I Made For?' and Harry Nilsson's 'Without You.'' But they're happy kids, so I'm really lucky.'
