Who Is Paparazzo on The Masked Singer Season 13? Sneak Peek Clues (2025)

The grand finale of The Masked Singer’s lucky season 13 is fast approaching, but six contestants remain — and Us Weekly has an exclusive sneak peek at one of the last masks standing.Ahead of the Wednesday, April 16, episode, Us caught a glimpse of Paparazzo hanging out at Crossroads of the World, an iconic Los Angeles landmark built in 1936. Widely considered to be America’s first outdoor shopping mall, the structure has appeared in everything from Indecent Proposal to The Muppets and L.A. Confidential.In these exclusive snaps, Paparazzo was snapped hanging out near the Crossroads, which could be a major hint to his identity. The question, however, is whether it’s the location — an historic L.A. landmark — or its name that’s the clue. Is this an older Hollywood legend, or is this clue a play on the words “crossroads” or “world”?Inquiring sleuths will have to keep watching to uncover the truth, but for now, keep scrolling for more clues about Paparazzo:

The Crossroads of the World has appeared in several notable films, including Argo and 2011’s The Muppets. The former had a star-studded cast that featured actors like Scoot McNairy and Tate Donovan, while the latter was headlined by Jason Segel. Maybe Paparazzo is hiding a lengthy Hollywood résumé underneath his camera outfit.

If the word “crossroads” is the key part of this clue, then perhaps this is someone who starred in the movie Crossroads alongside a young Britney Spears. The pop star was obviously the movie’s main draw, but there were also a couple of notable actors in the film: Justin Long, who went on to appear in many more rom-coms, and Anson Mount, who currently stars on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Could one of them be hiding under the Paparazzo costume?

“World” could also be the most important aspect of this clue, which, given the hints that Paparazzo could be a former child star, makes Us wonder whether this is an alum of Boy Meets World. No one from the cast has been on The Masked Singer before, so it’s reasonable to guess this could be someone like Ben Savage, Matthew Lawrence or Rider Strong.

The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Hulu.
