Two all new celebrities in disguise took to “The Masked Singer” stage for “90s Night” on Sunday, challenging Lambs for the throne and a spot in the semifinals. Despite his best efforts, Milkshake was eliminated following his rap performance of “Jump On It” by Sir Mix-a-Lot and belting out “What is Love” by Haddaway in the Battle Royale. The creamy delight was revealed to be NFL star Le’Veon Bell.
“I’m really trying to showcase my talents,” he told host Nick Cannon during his unmasked interview. “A lot of people know me from the football field. I just wanted to get in another lane and show people I’m talented at other things than just football.”

For a certain generation, this was akin to seeing the return of the “Can you hear me now?” guy. For another, it was a weird ad about a ghost dog. Making sense of this requires a trip back to the late 1980s.

A hit musical TV show that used Jonathan Coulton’s work without permission turned out to be his path to getting his songwriting on BrainDead, the new series from the creators of The Good Wife. “This is the standard path for any musician. Anybody who wants to end up where I am making recap songs for a show should definitely start by covering a rap song from the ’90s,” Coulton deadpanned. “No, it’s this strange, circuitous path, and I would be lying if I said any of those steps made sense at the time.” In 2013, Glee covered Coulton’s acoustic cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” — original melody, his line “Johnny C’s in trouble” and all — without giving the indie artist any credit or payment. The hullabaloo that followed became the inspiration for a court case in The Good Wife episode “Goliath and David.” Coulton got...

Of course, we've loved seeing her tiny baby bump and her giggly photo session with Kristen Stewart, but on Tuesday, the actress faced social media heat for the way she captioned a red carpet Instagram snap. "L.A. face with an Oakland booty," Blake wrote alongside two snaps of her in a sequined cutout dress; the phrase, if you don't recognize it, comes from the wildly popular Sir Mix-a-Lot song, "Baby Got Back."

Don’t worry, Blake Lively; your booty has the Sir Mix-a-Lot stamp of approval. The actress, who’s been accused of racism this week after posting a photo of her posterior with a lyric from the Sir Mix-a-Lot classic “Baby Got Back,” has gained a crucial endorsement from the rapper himself. “I don’t think she’d wear that dress if she thought that booty is horrible — and to me, it ain’t horrible,” the rapper asserted to the New York Daily News.

Blake Lively has been criticized for an Instagram post that's been deemed racially insensitive.
The 28-year-old actress is currently wowing fans with some incredible ensembles at the Cannes Film Festival in France. She shared a snap of herself in a stunning gold sequinned gown, and drew attention to the fact that her bottom is getting bigger with her second pregnancy.
She captioned the shot: "L.A. face and Oakland booty."
This was a reference to the Sir Mix-a-Lot track Baby Got Back (I Like Big Butts), which refers to the generalisation that people from the Californian city of Oakland - a high percentage of which are African-American - have curvy derrieres. The Urban Dictionary defines an 'Oakland booty' as "a booty that is large, round, Aka bootylicious".
"With how gentrified Oakland has become, Blake Lively kind of does have an La face with an Oakland booty," one person tweeted after Blake's post.
The 28-year-old actress is currently wowing fans with some incredible ensembles at the Cannes Film Festival in France. She shared a snap of herself in a stunning gold sequinned gown, and drew attention to the fact that her bottom is getting bigger with her second pregnancy.
She captioned the shot: "L.A. face and Oakland booty."

Blake, who's pregnant with her second kid, is in Cannes and pretty clearly was just joking with the Instagram post, but it's inflamed lots of people on social media. Blake was clearly gabbing a line from Sir Mix-a-Lot's song, "Baby Got Back (I Like Big Butts)." Some of the people who...

First, he jammed with Sir Mix-a-Lot in a car. Then, he made a dope jam with Anna Kendrick and his other Pitch Perfect 2 castmates. Now, for his latest act, DJ Flula Borg has engineer a new hot track with some help from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The YouTube star, known for his funky tunes and his tendency to struggle with American idioms, interviewed the Sisters co-stars and constructed a techno beat that uses their words as its base.
Even when sitting down next to two comedy all-stars, Flula is his usual charming self, and Fey and Poehler can’t help but laugh at his antics. They also highlight their own connections to the German language; Poehler’s name is derived from it, and Fey’s ability to speak it was a running gag on 30 Rock.
The centerpiece of the interview, is the techno track Flula derives from it.

Deadline reports that Showtime is developing a half-hour comedy titled 36-24-36. Despite the title, the show will not be written by Sir Mix-a-Lot. Instead, it comes from Delia Ephron (You've Got Mail) and will be set in the world of game show models in the '90s, following the story of the first black model on a major game show. It will deal with racism, sexual harassment, and misogyny, among other social issues of the time. In order to keep authentic, the first black Price is Right model Kathleen Bradley, will serve as a consultant. Here's hoping for the sexy, campy follow-up to Models, Inc. we've all craved.

If you ever wanted to watch a former NFL player sing a series of semi-nonsensical sexual come-ons, Lip Sync Battle has you covered.
Oh, and if you want to watch Hoda Kotb sing about butts, they've got that, too.
Cable's breakout hit of the season came out of the gate this week with Michael Strahan taking on Hoda Kotb, and the pair did not disappoint. Kotb, 50, had a ton of fun tackling Sir Mix-a-Lot's workhorse "Baby Got Back," and Strahan, 43, followed it up with Fergie's "London Bridge," performing far, far more of Fergie's original choreography than we would have given him credit for.
