Giuliani's reveal on 'The Masked Singer' reportedly sparks outrage from judges

Deadline reported that Giuliani was unmasked during the show’s production last week, prompting judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke to leave the stage in protest

Fox is staying radio silent on a report that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani — more recently remembered for his part in encouraging a coup against the elected United States president on Jan. 6, 2021 — was revealed as a contestant during a recent taping of its reality competition series “The Masked Singer.” The unmasking apparently sparked outrage from some members of the show’s regular panel of judges, who perhaps weren’t fans of Giuliani trying to rehab his image on the show.

On Wednesday afternoon, Deadline reported that Giuliani was unmasked during the show’s production last week, prompting judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke to leave the stage in protest. According to the report, the pair eventually returned to rejoin judges Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger to continue the taping and stage a brief discussion with Giuliani.

When asked for comment, Fox informed Variety that the production refuses to acknowledge leaks, maintaining the series’ policy against confirming “spoilers.” Giuliani’s reveal will reportedly be broadcast on an episode in March.

Nonetheless, the report has been met by an outpouring of criticism on social media. The former New York mayor had become a close affiliate of former President Donald Trump in recent years, working as Trump’s personal lawyer and promoting claims of election fraud.

This isn’t the first time that “The Masked Singer” has faced controversy for one of its reveals. In March 2020, the series unmasked Republican politician Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska, as the Bear.

“The Masked Singer” stands at the precipice of its seventh season, with a premiere set for March 9 on Fox. The theme for the upcoming season is “The Good, the Bad and the Cuddly,” with costumes themed around one of those three descriptors.

4 men arrested in connection with overdose death of actor Michael K. Williams

Members of a drug organization sold heroin to the “Wire" star in September that “was laced with fentanyl and a fentanyl analogue,” a federal complaint said.

Four men were charged with a narcotics conspiracy connected to the overdose death of "The Wire" actor Michael K. Williams, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.

Irvin Cartagena, Carlos Macci, Luis Cruz and Hector Robles are accused of operating a drug trafficking organization, from which Williams bought laced drugs, according to documents filed by the U.S. attorney for Southern New York and unsealed Tuesday.

Members of the drug organization sold heroin to Williams in September that “was laced with fentanyl and a fentanyl analogue,” the complaint said, adding that “Williams died as a result of using that fentanyl-laced heroin.”

Williams, 54, was found dead at his apartment in Brooklyn, New York, in September. The New York City medical examiner’s office confirmed his cause of death to be an accidental overdose that included the synthetic opioids fentanyl and p-fluorofentanyl.

Authorities found surveillance video of the alleged sale on Sept. 5, with Williams wearing the same clothes he was found in the next day. Confidential informants were used to help New York police detectives identify those involved in the sale, according to the complaints.

Undercover police officers then made an estimated 14 sales from the suspected drug trafficking organization, which were recorded on video, the complaint said.

Cruz, Macci and Robles were arrested in New York City and each charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl. They were expected to appear in federal court for an initial appearance Wednesday.

They face a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and could be sentenced to a maximum of 40 years if they are convicted.

Cartagena was arrested in Puerto Rico on a charge of narcotics conspiracy causing Williams' death. He is expected to appear in court Thursday. The charge comes with a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum life sentence.

Attorney information was not immediately available for any of the four men.

Williams was perhaps most known for his role as Omar Little on “The Wire,” which ran for five seasons on HBO. He was also praised for his work as Albert “Chalky” White in “Boardwalk Empire,” and he would go on to earn an Emmy nomination for his performance as Montrose Freeman in “Lovecraft Country," both series also from HBO.

He also had roles in movies such as “Bringing Out the Dead,” “The Road,” “Gone Baby Gone,” “Life During Wartime,” “I Think I Love My Wife” and “Wonderful World.”

A website claimed to sell popular songs as NFTs. Some artists say the site never got their permission.

Following the backlash, the website HitPiece on Wednesday displayed a seven-word statement on its homepage: “We Started The Conversation And We’re Listening.”

A website called HitPiece garnered backlash this week after some artists pointed out that the site was claiming to sell iconic songs as NFTs without their permission.

NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, of legendary music, including songs by Britney Spears and BTS, were up for grabs on HitPiece. But, as a handful of artists said Tuesday on Twitter, the platform doesn't own any of the music, nor does it have permission to sell the work as NFTs.

Following the backlash, the site displayed a seven-word statement on its homepage Wednesday: "We Started The Conversation And We’re Listening."

HitPiece was launched by former Sony employee and music label owner Rory Felton and music executive and former rapper Michael Berrin, and it is backed by venture capitalists Ryan Singer and Blake Modersitzki.

In a statement on its Twitter account, HitPiece said it was "committed to evolving the product to fit the needs of the artists, labels, and fans alike."

"Clearly we have struck a nerve and are very eager to create the ideal experience for music fans," the website wrote in its tweet.

Singer did not directly address the backlash when he was asked for comment.

“NFT’s aren’t immune to bad actors using them to scam people,” he wrote in a statement. “That said, just like verified channels on youtube reduced copyright fraud, so will artists minting their own NFT’s preemptively and building out their metaverse identity and brand.”

Felton and Modersitzki did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Reached by email, Berrin directed NBC News to contact The Rose Group, a reputation management company. The Rose Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An archived version of HitPiece’s website says artists who created the music being sold would receive royalties from the sales.

“Each time an artist’s NFT is purchased or sold, a royalty from each transaction is accounted to the rights holders account,” the website reads.

Although the website is defunct, HitPiece’s LinkedIn page remains up. It describes the platform as a community where "you, the music fan, can purchase one-of-one unique music NFT’s from your favorite artists."

"Our one-of-one music NFT’s include either the original release artwork or bespoke generative cover art and can consist of access to experiences, exclusives, and additional utility found nowhere else," it says.

HitPiece's archived website described "one-of-one" NFTs as "one-of-a-kind NFT’s,” adding: “Other NFTs may be serialized or one of many copies. HitPiece NFT’s are one-of-ones and are the only NFTs for that unique recording in HitPiece."

The archived site shows NFTs of songs like "Killing Floor" by Jimi Hendrix, "Money" by the singer LiSA and "Jammin' (Live At The Pavillon De Paris)" by Bob Marley and the Wailers.

What artists are saying

As the site took off, artists on Twitter called out HitPiece for selling their music as NFTs without permission.

"apparently a lot of my music’s been stolen and put up as NF*s on this platform called hitpiece," artist Louie Zong tweeted.

The musician CZARINA tweeted that while she had hoped to focus on her coming album, she is now preoccupied with her music’s being listed on HitPiece.

The singer Ted Leo tweeted that he hadn’t approved HitPiece to list his music as NFTs.

"Bottom feeding scavengers of late capitalism sucking the last marrow from our bones and/or running a scam on me, you, or everyone, because obviously, I didn’t approve this, and apparently neither did anyone else you’ll see on the site," Leo wrote.

The singer Nat Puff, better known as Left at London, tweeted that HitPiece owed her money, specifying that she did not want cryptocurrency from it.

"I have a lawyer @joinhitpiece. do you want to meet her?" she wrote.

The rock band Eve 6 described the NFTs being sold on HitPiece as "fraud."

"this site ‘hitpiece’ is selling nft’s of our band and MANY others without permission," the band wrote in a tweet, adding that "nft’s are fraud."

The hip-hop band Clipping tweeted that it wanted its music removed from the site.

"Thanks for the heads up," the band tweeted. "We’re looking into what we can do to get it taken down."

Colbert Speaks On Republicans ‘Crushing Hard' with Russia

Late-night hosts also discuss supreme court justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement and Biden’s insult of Fox correspondent Peter Doocy

Stephen Colbert

On Thursday’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert weighed in on sky-high tensions over Russia’s massing of troops on the border with Ukraine. “So the world’s two greatest nuclear powers are toe-to-toe in a high-stakes staring contest, but not everyone is pulling for our guy,” he said, citing a new poll which found 62% of Republicans think Putin is a “stronger leader” than Biden.

“What is wrong with you? Stop rooting for the other team!” he marveled. “Haven’t you seen Rocky IV, From Russia With Love, Air Force One, Rambo First Blood Part II, Golden Eye, The Hunt for Red October? Come on.“ I’m not sure what the Republican criterion for toughness is. It is true that Biden hasn’t murdered anyone with a cup of tea laced with polonium, a noose, point-blank shootings or by chucking them out of windows,” he continued, citing several examples of the Kremlin killing dissidents. “The only way Joe’s gonna kill you is by repeatedly telling the same story.”

Nevertheless, Republicans are “crushing hard” on Putin, Colbert concluded, pointing to a clip from Fox & Friends in which host Brian Kilmeade said, based on a poll in which six out of 10 Americans thought Biden was likable, “give us a strong leader who’s a little less likable”.

“Republican daddy issues are going to kill us all,” Colbert mused.

Amy Schneider’s 40-Win Jeopardy! Streak Broken by New Champ

Amy Schneider’s dazzling Jeopardy! streak is over, when the groundbreaking champion was finally defeated after 40 consecutive wins and about $1.4m in prize money.

Earlier this week, Schneider became the second-longest-running champion in the game’s history. Her success put her in the ranks of Ken Jennings, who is serving as guest host, and the quizshow’s other all-time greats. It also made Schneider, a trans woman, a visible symbol of achievement for often-marginalized people. “It’s still a little hard to believe,” she said of her impressive run. “It’s something that I’m going to be remembered for, and that’s pretty great.”

New champ Rhone Talsma, a Chicago librarian, had the correct response to the final Jeopardy! clue for a winning total of $29,600.

“I’m still in shock,” Talsma said in a statement. “I did not expect to be facing a 40-day champion and I was excited to maybe see someone else slay the giant. I just really didn’t think it was going to be me, so I’m thrilled.”

The answer that stumped Schneider was about countries of the world: The only nation whose name in English ends in an “h” and which is also one of the 10 most populous. (The answer: “What is Bangladesh?”)

Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California, scored her 39th win on Monday night, giving her the second-longest winning streak of any contestant. Since November, she has won about $1.3m, making her the first woman and fourth person to win more than $1m on the show. She has also become the first transgender person to qualify for Jeopardy’s Tournament of Champions, an annual event with the game’s top players.
