Season four of The Masked Singer’s US iteration on Fox is rapidly approaching the final round. As more secret celebs are eliminated, fans are almost certain a breakthrough star from Broadway’s Hamilton, recently added to Disney Plus, will be revealed as one of the contenders.

Fox viewers have tipped either Daveed Diggs or Leslie Odom Jr. as the Mushroom on this year’s fourth instalment of The Masked Singer.

So far, fans have had a hard time distinguishing the Mushroom’s vocals, although their performances have been some of the most impressive of this season.

Mushroom even managed to throw viewers off their gender with their high singing register, though it’s now widely agreed the performer is indeed a ‘fun-guy’.

He most recently knocked the judges off their feet with a performance of Cher’s If I Could Turn Back Time in Week 6 at the start of November.

This week will see Group C take to the stage once more to give Broccoli, Jellyfish and Mushroom another chance to show-off before we reach the Semi-Finals.

As the competition heats up, viewers have been trawling through the clues to determine the identities of some of the show’s more elusive contenders.

Over the weeks, fans soon realised a staggering number of references to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s historical musical Hamilton were included in Mushroom’s clue videos.

After spotting the many Easter eggs, Hamilton alums Daveed Diggs and Leslie Odom Jr. were singled out as potential candidates for the woodland singer.

However, the series is infamous for misleading fans with its cryptic clues that are always easy to misinterpret.

Additionally, some viewers are certain the Mushroom has been disguising his voice to throw off the scent.

One fan replied: “I know a lot of people think it’s Leslie, but my gut says it might be Daveed Diggs.”

And on Mushroom’s clue video on YouTube, another joked: “What if every actor from Hamilton took the gig. They’re free, there’s no broadway right now. Would be hilarious and amazing.”

The show received a resurgence in popularity when it was added to Disney Plus earlier this year to be enjoyed by musical fans during the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, Diggs and Odom Jr. have become major stars on both the big and small screens.

Daveed Diggs leads new sci-fi drama Snowpiercer and received acclaim for his role in social drama Blindspotting, while Odom Jr.’s upcoming film One Night In Miami is already getting early buzz.

The episode focused on Princess Diana – played by Emma Corrin – and Prince Charles – portrayed by Josh O’Connor – during their tour of Australia and it featured on the show’s season 4. The couple are seen greeting the masses before a woman wearing a yellow jacket catches the eye for her uncanny resemblance to the Duchess of Cambridge.

While Kate did not make a cameo in the show, some viewers were eager to point out the coincidence.

One person wrote on Twitter: “Meta moment in S4 Ep6 of #TheCrown….while depicting Charles and Diana’s trip to Oz, one of the women reaching out to touch Diana is the spit of Kate Middleton…”

While the show has received favourable from viewers, Palace insiders have criticised the portrayal of the Royal Family.

One source told the Mail on Sunday: “This is drama and entertainment for commercial ends being made with no regard to the actual people involved who are having their lives hijacked and exploited.

“In this case, it’s dragging up things that happened during very difficult times 25 or 30 years ago without a thought for anyone’s feelings.

“That isn’t right or fair, particularly when so many of the things being depicted don’t represent the truth.”

Specifically, the portrayal of Prince Charles and his relationship with Diana allegedly sparked outrage within Palace.

Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, one Palace source said: “The new series paints the Prince and Duchess in a very unflattering light but at least at the start of reality shows like The Only Way Is Essex they admit that some scenes have been invented for entertainment.

“It is yet another example, perhaps, of how difficult it is to mix being royal with the commercial world. There are bear traps everywhere.

“I would guess that William is very angry about this latest series of The Crown. And be deeply upset on behalf of his family. As will Harry.

“It is a grotesque and deeply unfair portrayal of their father, mother and stepmother, and of the wider family, including, of course, their grandparents whom they love dearly.

“Because this series is now covering a time and events that so many people can remember, but is incredibly damaging.

Ahead of the show’s final ten episodes, some fans may be wondering how Katheryn Winnick landed the role of Lagertha back in the first season.

An interview with Collider has revealed how one particular actor’s involvement in the series convinced Winnick to sign on.

She explained: “I am such a big fan of Gabriel Byrne. I grew up watching him in movies and on TV, and when I heard that he signed on to do this, I called my agents and said, ‘You’ve got to make sure I get this role!’”

Irish actor Gabriel Byrne only appeared in Vikings first season, but made a distinct impression as the cruel Earl Haraldson.

We have been storytellers all our adult lives, ever since we first scribbled lines together for a sketch in the early Sixties in an Earls Court pub. It began a career that, amazingly, has lasted longer than Rodgers and Hammerstein, Gilbert and Sullivan, Laurel and Hardy and Morecambe and Wise. The first characters we created were Bob and Terry, factory hands from the North-east, who would become The Likely Lads. The Sixties hadn’t really kicked in when we met. Mini Mokes, miniskirts, sexual liberation and psychedelia – that all came later. Our London was smoke-filled pubs, coffee houses, Wimpy Bars and cheap Chinese restaurants. The whole country was stable, predictable, deferential and dull. It was the England the Kinks missed so much in many of their songs – Sunday roasts, football matches, allotments and racing pigeons. It was a far cry from “swinging London”. But you could be young and broke and live within half a mile of Buckingham Palace.

The BBC’s in-house drama club, the Ariel Players, put on a Christmas revue so, inspired by the movie Saturday Night And Sunday Morning, we wrote a comedy sketch for them, cutting between two boys called Bob and Terry and the girls they’d just had a date with, having a post-mortem on the evening they’d spent together.

It made people laugh and, after that, we made a commitment to write at least one night a week.

We wrote a play for television and called it The One Most Likely. It got turned down – but very nicely. Peter Willes, then head of Yorkshire Television, said we had a natural ear for dialogue.

But our big break came two years later when Dick got on to a directing course. At the end he was given a studio for a day, a £100 budget and encouraged to “make something”. Remembering the sketch we’d written for that revue, we expanded it to 20 minutes or so and made it with real actors on real sets.

We thought it had sunk without trace. But the timing was in our favour. BBC Two was about to be launched and slots needed filling. Michael Peacock, head of the new channel, saw the test piece and we were summoned to a meeting.

After the opening exchanges he asked us the key question: “Do you see it as a series?” The thought had never crossed our minds but without hesitation we said “absolutely”.

Somehow we got six scripts written. We agreed later we owed a debt to children’s author Richmal Crompton because we had both been avid readers of her Just William books as kids.

She was great with plots and one of the lessons we learned was that William didn’t always have to win; a satisfying ending could go either way. We stole from her shamelessly. One of our early plots featured a mobile medical unit checking people for tuberculosis.

Terry was trying to pull the radiologist but as he left the house he had a row with his sister, Audrey, and said: “You won’t half be sorry if I’ve got a spot on the lung!” That was pure Just William.

We wrote the last script of the series in two days. We’ve always found it’s a good sign if a script comes quickly. If we struggle with one it’s usually because there’s something not quite right with it.

When choosing actors, we eliminated those who looked as if they could only be serious, romantic or menacing. This brought us to James Bolam, who had been in The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner, and to Rodney Bewes, who had played Arthur Crabtree in Billy Liar.

We wanted to capture the gritty reality of those movies and transfer it to the small screen. We wanted the factory floor and houses with outside lavatories. These actors checked those boxes: Rodney was from Bingley in Yorkshire, Jimmy from Sunderland.

The chemistry between Jimmy, as the more acerbic, working-class-and-proud-of-it Terry, and Rodney, as the more reflective Bob with dreams-above-his-station, seemed to work right away when rehearsals began.

Jimmy treated his work with great seriousness. He had a great respect for “the text”. He was fiercely self-critical, especially of anything too obvious, which he dismissed derisively as “face-acting”.

When the first episode was transmitted only a handful of households had BBC Two.

What pushed us into orbit was when we were asked to write a sketch for inclusion in Christmas Night With The Stars, seen by 19 million people as they digested their turkey and mince pies. They liked it and the series was repeated on BBC One.

Suddenly, Jimmy and Rodney were recognised on the street. Rodney enjoyed this taste of fame. Jimmy did not.

This was a typical exchange if a friendly fan called out to him: “Hey, Terry, where’s your mate?” “He’s dead!” he’d reply.

We did another two series and decided that enough was enough. We wrote an episode called Goodbye To All That in which Bob decides to broaden his horizons and join the Army, much to Terry’s scorn.

After two weeks, Terry realises he misses his mate and signs on himself. When he gets off the train to report for duty, he finds Bob is going home because of flat feet.

Jimmy and Rodney loved the way we had written them out of our lives. We said goodbye to each other and went our separate ways.

Six years later, we came back from separate summer holidays and found similar thoughts had been bubbling through our brains: what had happened to Bob and Terry? After all, the changes in a young man’s life between 19 and 25 are profound, more often than not including marriage. Moreover, Terry was due to come out of the Army. What would he find in his hometown when he returned?

We were fairly sure we could talk Rodney round. Jimmy was another matter. We took him to an Italian restaurant on the Kings Road. After the preamble, we put our proposal on the table.

His mouth tightened. “Not with Rodney Bewes, no.” It wasn’t a promising beginning. We poured more red wine and started to tell him what had happened to Terry Collier since we had last seen him.

We told him about coming home just in time for Bob’s wedding to Thelma Chambers and his own failed marriage to a German girl, not to be revealed until episode three. He started to laugh. He might not have seen “the text” yet, but Jimmy knew a good plot when he heard one. By the time we got to the sambuca, he was hooked.

They had very different personalities. Tears came easily to Rodney. Jimmy didn’t have an ounce of sentimentality. Unsurprisingly they had flare-ups.

But the general view about the new colour series, Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?, was that it was better than the old one.

It also reflected the social changes that Britain was going through at the time. So the critics said anyway. Our primary concern was still making people laugh.

Every line was timed to perfection. Every pause was the right length. Every laugh came exactly where it should. When one recording was over, Jimmy said quietly: “Well done, Rod.” They may not have complimented each other often but they certainly complemented each other.

We look back on those first shows in black and white with affection and gratitude. Together they gave us our first taste of success. We thought we’d found a formula: write a series, cast it and wait for the accolades.

If only it would always be that easy.

  • Wall Street’s convinced Tesla will need to raise more cash, and has some theories about how and when that may happen
  • Morgan Stanley says that in addition to a capital raise in 2018, Elon Musk may also need an outside partner for more financing. 

Wall Street remains doubtful that Tesla will go through the rest of 2018 without raising fresh capital.

And while Elon Musk remains adamant that the electric carmaker can become sustainably cash flow positive in 2018, sell-side analysts are now busy theorizing possibilities for when and how Tesla might raise cash.

The content has now been restored, but PragerU supporters don’t think it was an accident.

PragerU (short for Prager University, after its founder Dennis Prager) says nine of its posts reached none of its three million-odd followers, and at least two videos were deleted for “hate speech,” in what many conservatives see as part of Facebook’s ongoing censorship campaign. Facebook has now apologized and restored the content, but has offered no explanation beyond “we’re looking into it.”

PragerU is a non-profit organization creating short educational videos discussing a wide array of topics from a conservative perspective. The videos, while not generally covering current news, offer pushbacks against most of the liberal talking points, including gun ownership, oppression of women, trust in the media and climate change. In 2017 PragerU had a run-in with Google after the company restricted or demonetized 37 of its videos. PragerU filed a lawsuit, which was then dismissed by a district court judge.

Facebook, Twitter and other social media are under massive fire from conservatives as the platforms claim they step up their game against “hate speech” and for “conversational health.” In practice this has so far mostly meant bans and suspensions for conservative speakers.

The most prominent example in the recent days was that of InfoWars and its highly-controversial host Alex Jones. InfoWars content was simultaneously removed by Youtube, Facebook and Apple, its pages and channels shut down. Twitter held out for a few days, then handed Jones a week-long suspension for “abusive behavior.” Other casualties in the censorship campaign include Venezuelan broadcaster Telesur and the Pro-Palestinian group Occupy London, among others.

US President Donald Trump himself has chimed in on the matter, saying his administration won’t let the discrimination of Republican and conservative voices continue. “Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!” Trump tweeted.

The disproportionate crackdown on “offensive” conservative content is not unexpected, considering the Silicon Valley’s overall left leanings and the social media platforms’ choice of experts on “conversational health.” Facebook has partnered up with NATO-backed think tank Atlantic Council for fact checking, while Twitter has unveiled a team of Trump haters to root out “uncivil discourse.”

  • Ross Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison in 2015 after being convicted of running the dark web marketplace Silk Road.
  • His family have set up the twitter account @RealRossU, which relays messages Ulbricht dictates from prison.
  • The account has helped get over 55,000 signatures for a petition asking for clemency for Ulbricht.
  • His supporters argue Silk Road was no different to eBay and it’s not his fault that people used it to sell drugs.

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the dark web marketplace Silk Road, is dictating messages from prison that his family are delivering to the outside world via Twitter.

The Twitter account @RealRossU was opened in June and sent its first tweet on July 19. The tweet linked to a handwritten note posted on FreeRoss.org, a website run by “family, friends and supporters” of Ulbricht. The note said that the fact it was posted on FreeRoss.org proved its authenticity. Since then, the account has said Ulbricht is dictating his tweets over the phone to supporters.

  • An often unpleasant aspect of air travel is dealing with airport restrooms.
  • Air travel and airport restrooms are particularly difficult for parents traveling with babies and small children.
  • Let’s be honest: airports do their best to maintain restroom cleanliness, but in a place like Rome‘s Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino, where millions of passengers arrive and depart every year, restrooms can be kind of gross.
  • But this wasn’t the case for me on my last trip through Rome FCO.
  • The Roman airport’s bathrooms impressed with its stylish decor and ingenious design. 

At Business Insider, we review airline travel and airports all the time. We write about airport lounges. We write about airline paint jobs. We write about planes.

But in our entire existence, I believe we have never reviewed an airport restroom. 

That might sound like a gag, but restrooms are an inevitable part of the air-travel experience. More so if you’re a parent and have to deal with changing diapers or attending to small children. For years, and through three kids and a lot of flights, I’ve struggled with changing, with finding a way to safely let my daughter use the facilities, and with simple stuff like getting a 5-year-old to be able to wash his hands. 

For my own part, I’ve seen it all, from truly repulsive men’s restrooms to relatively spiffy ones. 

Obviously, we can’t really review restrooms because we typically post photos with our reviews and nobody would like it very much if we were snapping pictures in semi-private public space. It would be rude and ethically unacceptable. 

But I recently found myself, briefly, in a position to check out that rarest of things: a completely empty men’s restroom at Rome’s Fiumicino airport, on a return trip from Italy to the US.

I quickly seized the opportunity. Here’s what I saw.

Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino is the city’s biggest airport, gateway to tens of millions of passengers annually. I left from Terminal 3 at FCO for an early evening flight back to the New York area.

AP

At the end of the luxury mall — Rolex, Diesel, Montblanc — I found a clearly marked location for the men’s and women’s restrooms. OK, some gender stereotypes as far as the identifiers go. But they got the job done.

  • The New York Times reported President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy that separates families at the US-Mexico border was the work of White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller.
  • Miller pushed the policy to fruition after March’s increase in illegal immigration, which Trump touted as a top priority in his 2016 campaign.
  • The policy has drawn criticism from lawmakers in and outside of the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy that separates families at the US-Mexico border was the work of White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller.

The New York Times reported the origin of the controversial policy on Saturday. Miller, a 32-year-old policy specialist, followed the momentum of March’s peak in illegal immigration numbers since Trump took office to push the policy.
