Tom Kane, ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Powerpuff Girls’ Voice Actor, Dies at 64

Tom Kane, who provided his voice for both "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "The Powerpuff Girls," has passed away. He was 64 years old.

His death was shared by his talent agency, Galactic Productions, on Monday.

 He lost his life after facing complications from a stroke.

The statement said, "Today we say goodbye to Tom Kane — a legendary voice actor whose work shaped the childhoods and imaginations of millions around the world.

 From his unforgettable performances in 'Star Wars' to countless animated series, documentaries, and games, Tom brought wisdom, strength, humor, and heart to every role he touched. His voice became part of our lives, our memories, and the stories we carry with us."

Very Young Frankenstein’ Ordered to Series at FX

FX has given the green light for a series based on "Very Young Frankenstein."

The idea was first announced with a pilot order back in 2025.

 So far, not much about the plot has been shared, except that it's inspired by the classic Mel Brooks-Gene Wilder comedy "Young Frankenstein." As previously mentioned, the show features Zach Galifianakis, Dolly Wells, and Spencer House. Nikki Crawford, Kumail Nanjiani, and Cary Elwes also appeared in the pilot.

Very Young Frankenstein is created by writer Stefani Robinson, who also serves as an executive producer along with Taika Waititi and Garrett Basch.

 All three have worked on the popular FX comedy series "What We Do in the Shadows." Waititi also directed the pilot. Mel Brooks, who co-wrote and directed the original film, will be an executive producer, as will Kevin Salter and Michael Gruskoff. Salter is Brooks' producing partner, and Gruskoff was in charge of the original movie. The show is produced by 20th Television.

Nick Grad, President of FX Entertainment, said, "Very Young Frankenstein blends the spirit of the beloved movie with the inventive, irreverent style that has defined FX comedies.

 This is a completely original take on the classic story." He added, "With FX veterans Stefani, Taika, and Garrett, alongside the iconic Mel Brooks, we know fans will have just as much fun watching this series as we're having making it."  

Young Frankenstein first came out in 1974 and was well received by both critics and audiences.

 It's often considered one of the funniest American films ever made. Gene Wilder played Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of Victor Frankenstein. When he inherits his grandfather's estate in Transylvania, Frederick gets interested in continuing his ancestor's work of bringing the dead back to life.

The film also starred Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, and Kenneth Mars.

 Gene Hackman made a short appearance as a blind man who meets Frankenstein's monster.

ACM Awards: Ella Langley Tops Winners; Cody Johnson Named Entertainer of the Year

Ella Langley was the biggest winner at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards, which happened on Sunday night. Even though Cody Johnson won the top prize, which is entertainer of the year, Langley took home five awards in total. Her song "Choosin’ Texas" won the first award of the night for song of the year and also won single of the year. She also won female artist of the year and artist-songwriter of the year. Another award she got was for "Don’t Mind If I Do," a song by Riley Green featuring Langley, which won music event of the year.

Cody Johnson also won male artist of the year.

 Parker McCollum’s album, which is also named after him, won album of the year. The Red Clay Strays were named group of the year, and Brooks & Dunn won duo of the year. Avery Anna got best new female artist, and Tucker Wetmore won best new male artist. Jessie Jo Dillon was named songwriter of the year for the third time in a row.

Shania Twain, who has won ACM Awards three times before, hosted the show for the first time.

 The ceremony was streamed live only on Prime Video and was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilson opened the show with an energetic performance of "Can’t Sit Still."

 There were many performances that night, including from Langley, Anna, Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett & Jordan Davis, Zach Top, Little Big Town, Riley Green, the Red Clay Strays, Kacey Musgraves, Carter Faith, Parker McCollum & Lee Ann Womack, and Kane Brown.

Lauren Alaina got emotional when introducing Dan + Shay, who performed their song "Say So" in memory of Ben Vaughn, a respected figure in the music community who was president and CEO of Warner Chappell Nashville and passed away by suicide last year.

The show ended with Blake Shelton performing Kenny Rogers’ "The Gambler," written by Don Schlitz, who passed away last month.

The awards are decided by members of the Academy of Country Music, which has more than 5,000 members this year, a record high.

 The eligibility period for the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards was the calendar year 2025.

Kristen Stewart and ‘Full Phil’ Cast Get Lively 5-Minute Cannes Ovation Despite Mixed Response to Quentin Dupieux’s Absurd Comedy

Kristen Stewart and Woody Harrelson's fame was very noticeable at the premiere of their new movie, "Full Phil," inside the Palais. The film is a funny, father-daughter story directed by French musician and filmmaker Quentin Dupieux. Before the movie started, Dupieux and his actors, like Charlotte Le Bon and Emma Mackey (who had a very popular movie called "Ella McCay" in France), got a lot of cheers from the crowd, which seemed to be full.

The movie is a strange, funny comedy that made people laugh, but it didn’t quite hit the mark with the audience.

 When the credits ended, people clapped politely. As the lights came up, the crowd stood and applauded for the cast, especially cheering loudly for Stewart. Stewart joined in by making faces at the camera, waving at the people in the balcony, and even dancing a bit to keep the attention on the other actors.

Dupieux then took the microphone and said, “I’ll be very brief because I imagine everyone wants to leave.”

 He thanked the audience for staying and said it was nice but it was late. He used the moment to thank his team, including producer Hugo Sélignac, musician Siriusmo, his wife Joan Le Boru, and the cast.

He ended by saying, “I want to live with artists and work with artists.

 Thank you, Cannes, thank you very much.” He finished with a literal mic drop.

"Full Phil" stars Stewart and Harrelson as a father and daughter trying to reconnect in Paris.

 Along the way, they face French food, a 1950s horror movie, and a nosy hotel worker. The cast also includes Emma Mackey, Charlotte Le Bon, Tim Heidecker, and Eric Wareheim.

Dupieux was last at Cannes with his 2024 comedy "The Second Act," which opened that year's festival.

 Stewart was at Cannes last year to show her directorial debut, "The Chronology of Water," which was praised by critics. She starred in that film as a swimmer overcoming addiction, played by Imogen Poots.

In an interview, Stewart said she was really excited to work with Dupieux because of his creative style.

 She said, “I love his movies. They don’t look or feel like anyone else’s, and those are the kinds of directors actors are lucky to work with. He holds the camera all the time. You’re with him, completely connected. He knows how he’s going to edit it by the end of the day. If he misses a shot, he gets it. He’s not just an auteur—he’s like a mastermind.”

Bulgaria Wins 2026 Eurovision Song Contest as U.K. Comes Last With One Point

Bulgaria's Dara won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest with 516 points for her song "Banagaranga."

Israel's Noam Bettan came in second with 343 points for his song "Michelle," while Alexandra Căpitănescu, representing Romania with "Choke Me," placed third with 296 points.

The UK finished last, with Sam Battle performing under the stage name Look Mum No Computer and singing "Eins, Zwei, Drei."

Australia and Italy were in fourth and fifth places, respectively.

 Delta Goodrem's "Eclipse" got 287 points, and Sal Da Vinci's "Per Sempre Sì" came in fifth with 281 points.

Da Vinci won the Sanremo Music Festival earlier this year, which gave him the right to represent Italy at Eurovision.

 Other familiar faces included Cyprus's Antigoni, who UK viewers might recognize from 2022's "Love Island" Season 8, performing "Jalla," and Delta Goodrem, who appeared on the long-running Australian soap "Neighbours" before starting her singing career.

The contest was held at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, and had the theme "United by Music," marking the 70th anniversary of the competition.

 The hosts were model and singer Victoria Swarovski and actor Michael Ostrowski.

Despite some protests, including a boycott from five countries, this was the second year in a row that Israel came in second.

 Bettan received 220 points from the audience, moving him to first place after the audience votes, but he couldn't beat Bulgaria's 589 points, which led to Bulgaria's first-ever Eurovision win.

This year, 35 countries voted, with each country's jury and audience votes having equal weight.

Last year's winner, Switzerland's JJ, was at the event to present the glass trophy to Dara.

 JJ had won in 2025 with the song "Wasted Love," earning 436 points.

Eurovision first started in 1956, making it the world's longest-running annual international televised music contest.
