Were you as pleased as we were that the judges saved the Lizard on the March 20 episode of “The Masked Singer”? We liked this fellow from the moment he strode on stage and blew the roof off the joint with his rollicking rendition of “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel Seger. So we were beyond pleased when he won the Smackdown against Spaghetti and Meatballs after they duelled on the ditty “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song).”
We’ve rewatched both of the performances by the Lizard as well as his clues package. Forget those guesses by the judges that Lizard is Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant or Ray J. We are convinced we’ve cracked the code and know the name of the celebrity masquerading as Lizard. Keep reading as we have all your “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the answer to the question, “Who is Lizard?”

Basketball legend Michael Jordan is officially a married man once again. After applying for a marriage license in March, Jordan and model Yvette Prieto tied the knot Saturday (April 27) in Palm Beach, Fla., People reports.
The ceremony was attended by 500 of the couple's closest family and friends, with 1,500 invited to take part in the reception afterwards at Bears Club, a golf course community designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan recently had a new home build in the community.
The couple met and began dating in 2008, before Jordan popped the question in late 2011. Jordan ended his 17-year marriage to Juanita Jordan in 2006. In the settlement, Juanita received $168 million, because the couple didn't have a prenuptial agreement.
This is Prieto's first marriage. She previously was in a long-term relationship with Julio Iglesias Jr. Jordan recently passed the 10-year mark since he last played professional basketball. His last game was with the Washington Wizards,...

It's been 39 years since "The Brady Bunch" concluded its five-season run, but rerun heaven has kept the series very much alive, and the cast's frequent reunions have allowed them to stay within reach of the spotlight. But what exactly has this lovable clan been up to since their goofy sitcom said goodbye in 1974? Most of them have popped up in a variety of TV shows and movies, but a few others have taken decidedly more low-key paths. Here's the story of what one of television's most famous families is up to today.
Florence Henderson (Carol Brady)
Current age: 79
The only member of the "Brady Bunch" cast to retain her icon status, Henderson appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010. She currently hosts "The Florence Henderson Show," a daily talkfest on Retirement Living TV. Henderson also regularly pops up in guest-starring roles, including a gig on "Samantha Who?" that earned her an Emmy nomination.

Madrid, March 27 (Ians/Efe) Singer Julio Iglesias Jr. regards as a "challenge" his role in the Spanish stage version of "Grease" because this is the first time he will appear in a musical inspired by a movie he has seen many times since he was a youngster.
"Grease" is hard work, Iglesias told Efe, because every day he has to act, sing and take the stage, but above all, it is a "perfect" work because it combines two of his passions, music and acting.
Starting Tuesday, Iglesias will play Teen Angel "for eight minutes in the third scene of the second act of the musical, which lasts 2 1/2 hours", the artistic director.
