President Trump would proceed with plans to construct barriers on the southwestern border without legislative approval but keep the government open.
might be the most bonkers reality show on TV at the moment, but nevertheless, I can't help but find myself fascinated by the mystery of which thirsty celebrity is lurking behind each of those bizarre, nightmarish masks that look like rejected outfits from the Spy Kids costume department.
Hosted by Nick Cannon, the Fox reality competition series is the US remake of the popular South Korean show King of Mask Singer. It began with 12 singing celebrities, with one being eliminated each week. The catch? Each of the contestants wears head-to-toe costumes, concealing every inch of their identities from not only the audience but also the panelists and other contestants. Panelists Ken Jeong, , Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke receive small hints about who the singer might be over the course of the show and then try to guess their identities.
Warning: spoilers for The Masked Singer to follow!

As draws closer, the cast is making the most out of . The crew has a history of over the last 12 years, but their latest one is truly larger than life. On Wednesday, Kaley Cuoco shared a video of the cast's final flash mob, which was set to none other than the ." "One of my favorite moments in 12 years," she wrote alongside a video featuring Jim Parsons, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch, Kunal Nayyar, and Simon Helberg. "I told you we would go out with a bang!!" Unfortunately, Johnny Galecki couldn't participate because of his ankle injury, but he did make sure to cheer on his costars from the sidelines.
The beloved show - which is one of the longest-running staples of network TV - will likely come to an end in May this year. While the official date has yet to be announced, reportedly came down to Parsons's decision to step away. "There is no negative reason to stop doing Big Bang," Parsons previously told Entertainment Weekly. "It felt like we have been able to do this for so many years now, it doesn't feel like there is anything left on the table. Not that we couldn't keep doing it, but it feels like we've chewed all the meat off this bone. I guess at a personal level, it feels like the right time in my life." Well, at least we'll always have to remember the show by. Related:

Like everyone else who has a brain and two functioning ears, I've decided to dedicate my life to spreading the gospel of Lizzo.
The 30-year-old rapper, singer, and talented flautist - if isn't instantly iconic, I don't know what is - dropped her debut album, Lizzobangers, in 2013, and she's been pumping out bop after bop ever since. Although it's long overdue (in my not so humble opinion), Lizzo is finally getting the mainstream shine she deserves, from flawless appearances and to seeing her latest single, "Juice," chart on Billboard's Hot R&B.
Like many others, a lot of what appeals to me about Lizzo, other than her infectious beats, is her inclusive, empowering message. But in an age when feminism and self-acceptance are often hollowed out by big brands in order to sell everything from body wash to pink hats with the help of a cheeky hashtag, Lizzo continues to prove that her message is authentic. She lives what she raps; she puts immense thought into her lyrics, ensuring that they're not empowering for empowerment's sake. Related: For instance, in her 2017 track "Truth Hurts," she sings, "I will never ever, ever be your side chick," but that wasn't the original lyric. During , the musician notes that the original lyric was "I could never ever, ever be a side chick," but she decided to tweak it to be more inclusive.
"B*tch, what about side chicks! I don't want to exclude them! I don't want to make them feel bad. I think that's why this feels brand new. I'm trying to be inclusive," she explains. "Could this song ["Like a Girl," her new track that's about throwing dollars at strippers "like a girl"] be in a Dove commercial? Yes, but it won't. They aren't thinking about everybody. . . . The old heads aren't ready for that."
While "the old heads" might not be ready for Lizzo's brand of confidence just yet, there's nothing standing in the way of falling in love with her yourself (if you haven't already). Check out her most essential songs ahead before her next album, Cuz I Love You, drops in April. Related:

After a few for season eight, a ton of glorious photos from have arrived! HBO shared a whole bunch of illuminating images from Westeros, including glimpses of Dany and Jon Snow together in the North, Cersei stalking around on her lonesome (in some sick new armor, we might add), Brienne looking worse for wear, and more.
Who will live? Who will die? And who will get to sit on that freakin' throne?! While we'll have to wait to get the answers to those questions and any potential confirmations of about the last season, these photos are enough to keep us busy in the meantime. Keep reading to see them all! Related:
You might know the series like the back of your hand, but how well do you know the novels' author, J.R.R. Tolkien? If your answer is "not very well," then you should make a point of seeing the upcoming biopic about the writer's life starring Nicholas Hoult, aptly titled Tolkien.
The official description of the upcoming drama notes that it will explore "the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love, and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school." Although the first teaser, above, is brief, we can already see the connections between Frodo, Sam, and the rest of the fictional band of friends to Tolkien and his real-life pals, whose relationships suffered after the outbreak of World War I. Related: In addition to Hoult, the film stars Lily Collins, Colm Meaney, Anthony Boyle, Patrick Gibson, Tom Glynn-Carney, Craig Roberts, and more, who all play people whose interactions with Tolkien eventually inspired him to write .

Sure, the battles in are undeniably epic, but nothing is quite as epic as the words exchanged between our favorite Westeros residents. From to profound statements, the show knows how to deliver some serious food for thought - especially when those quotes come directly from George R. R. Martin's books. If you're in need of some inspiring words to keep you going this week (or to keep you going until Game of Throne's ), check out the gallery to hear some wise words from Tyrion Lannister, Lord Varys, and Lord Petyr Baelish, as well as a few more surprising sources.

Lawmakers said they had reached the agreement after an impasse over the number of ICE detention beds had threatened to derail negotiations.
Catch-22, the 1961 novel by Joseph Heller, is so iconic that the titular phrase is still used, to this day, to describe life's most paradoxical situations. Now, in 2019, the satirical story that started it all has been adapted into a new series by Hulu, and there's already a teaser! What's more, it looks really good. With a star-studded cast - , Kyle Chandler, Christopher Abbott, , and more - and plenty of striking imagery to reel us in, it's hard to see how this won't be one of the most talked-about series in 2019.
If you're not familiar, the story plunks us right into the World War II trenches, where pilots are desperately trying to be relieved from duty. They request mental evaluations, hoping the army psychiatrist will declare them insane . . . but the catch is, if you have enough mental faculties to request an evaluation in the first place, you are, by default, sane enough to fly a plane. Cue the ensuing madness that surely can't lead to any kind of bright conclusion. Catch-22 premieres on May 17. Try not to unravel before then.
