Photos: Kenji Fitzgerald/Brigette LacombeFamily Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has teamed up with a seemingly unlikely collaborator — Oscar-winning movie legend Martin Scorsese — to save some cartoons. The Seth MacFarlane Foundation and Scorsese's The Film Foundation are funding The Film Foundation's first-ever restoration of a "curated selection of historically significant animated shorts" from the 1920s through the 1940s.Included will be nine films from animation legend George Fleischer, the creator of icon Betty Boop, among many other characters.A program of the restorations, titled Back from the Ink: Restored Animated Shorts, will premiere during Turner Classic Movies' 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival at its Hollywood Boulevard location on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. PT, with an in-person introduction by MacFarlane.Seven shorts directed by Dave Fleischer will be screened, including Koko's Tattoo from 1928; 1935's Little Nobody; The Little Stranger and Greedy Humpty Dumpty from 1936; and 1937's Peeping Penguins.Also screening will be a 1939 Terrytoon production called The Three Bears and 1944's Two-Gun Rusty from animator George Pal. Oddly, the former came to a new audience a few years back thanks to the Spaghet meme."I'm so grateful to Seth MacFarlane for his enthusiasm and his support on these restorations," said Scorsese in an announcement."What an astonishing experience, to see these remarkable pictures that I experienced for the first time as a child brought back to their full glory," the filmmaker added. "The films now seem as fresh as they did when they were newly made."MacFarlane expressed, "The work Martin Scorsese and his Film Foundation have been doing is essential cinematic preservation. I'm honored to partner with them in restoring their first-ever collection of storied animation."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Variety reports Robbie and her LuckyChap production company are teaming up with Hasbro Entertainment and Lionsgate to bring the game from the board to the big screen.

Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty ImagesIt's a rare occasion when Rihanna shares an update about her music, especially after years of making headlines for her babies and businesses. Fortunately for fans, she gave some tidbits on her process of creating her long-awaited album R9 during her cover story for Interview magazine.“I have a lot of visual ideas. It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals," Rihanna said.She notes the visuals have not yet been translated into songs but believes they may end up "leading me to the songs that I need to make.”“Random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all," Rih added.One of the people who have something to do with Rihanna is boyfriend A$AP Rocky. She recalled the time he grabbed her butt during their performance of “Cockiness (Love It)” at the 2012 VMAs and her team guessed she liked him because she didn't react in a negative way.Several years later, in 2019, they chose to date, proceeding with caution. “We’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We’ve seen each other outside of relationships," Rih explained. "We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives. We can make or break each other’s hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution.”The two are now parents to sons RZA and Riot, but Rih says she'll go for "as many as God wants me to have."“I would try for my girl," she says. "But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

On his Instagram Story, he announced that he was canceling his planned April 7 show in London, Ontario due to illness, and rescheduling it to April 17."I performed in Toronto sick last night. I was thinking I'd be okay to do a show, but felt very faint and disoriented for most of the night. I feel worse today," he wrote on April 7. "I would never reschedule a show without feeling like it was a genuine threat to my own health and safety and sadly this is one of those occasions."He then went on to say that he didn't want to, "further hurt my voice and body by pushing through, potentially having to cancel future shows or not tour at all due to vocal injury." Noah added that he was, "really sorry to let you down," saying he had, "so much respect for the sacrifices you make to make it [to] my shows."On Instagram, Noah also revealed that after he appeared at Olivia's show on April 5, he watched the rest of the show from the audience, wearing a long blond wig to disguise his appearance.
