Seth MacFarlane spoke out over the recent episode of his hit show, Family Guy, which someone re-edited and posted to YouTube in order to make it appear that it predicted Monday's fatal bombings at the Boston Marathon.

"The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent," MacFarlane said via Twitter on Tuesday. "The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims."

Fox pulled the episode from future airings and also removed it from TV streaming website Hulu.com because the show, which originally aired on March 17, includes a scene in which protagonist Peter...

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has spoken out about a recent video in which clips from the March 17 episode of his Fox show were edited together to make it appear that the show predicted -- or inspired -- Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.

Two scenes from the show were rearranged to make it appear that the show's main protagonist, Peter Griffin -- dressed in a tunic and a fez, won the road race by dialing his cell phone and setting off the two bombs, which are heard off screen. An image of Griffin in his car with bloodied bodies surrounding it appears before the bombing, in one ...

Wipeout host Vanessa Minnillo has been cast in Seth MacFarlane's new comedy, Dads.

The former Entertainment Tonight correspondent has appeared as a guest star in various TV shows over the past few years, including 30 Rock, Hawaii Five-0 and Psych, but now she will be a regular in a new Fox series.

The new mom landed one of the main roles on Monday after show producers, including MacFarlane and his fellow Family Guy writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, decided to recast her character.

Dads centers on two men in their 30s, played by Seth Green and Tommy Dewey, whose lives are thrown ...

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane and "Game Of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke have split up, according to a new report.

The couple began dating last year and went public with their relationship at an Emmy Awards afterparty in Los Angeles in September.

The pair broke up because of different schedules and distance.

A source told EOnline.com: "They are no longer dating. It was really a location challenge. She has been in Europe shooting Game of Thrones and he is based in California, so it was hard to make it work... They have remained friends."

The multi-talented MacFarlane hosted the A...

Thanks to the 85th Annual Academy Awards – sorry, The Oscars – ABC managed a rare weekly win in the TV ratings race. Sunday’s telecast, which saw ‘Argo’ nab Best Picture, nabbed 40.38 million viewers, a three-year high. While Seth MacFarlane, who got mixed reviews, is not likely to come back, the network saw big increases in some demos, and also managed to top the Grammy telecast, unlike last year.

ABC averaged 11.26 million viewers to win the week. CBS, not surprisingly, was second with 9.58 million viewers. ‘NCIS’ was tops for the network, with ‘The Big Bang Theory’ close behind. Speakin...

The Academy Award producers should start looking for a new host now, because Seth MacFarlane isn't coming back.

This morning, Seth was asked by a follower on Twitter: "Would you host the #Oscars again if asked?" The Family Guy creator replied, "No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though."

During the telecast MacFarlane joked that he would be one of the worst Oscar hosts in history. He brought out William Shatner, playing Captain Kirk from Star Trek. Shatner told MacFarlane that went back in time to warn him about his off-color jokes. He then offered up video of said jokes, including a show...

If you missed the 85th Annual Academy Awards, we have a roundup of some of the best (and most shocking) moments from the ceremony:

1.) Before the stars arrived, the toilets overflowed, flooding the lobby at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, according to TMZ.com. Fortunately, custodians were able to vaccum the mess before Hollywood royalty descended.

2.) "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart surprised fans after arriving to the event on crutches. She apparently stepped on a piece of glass a couple days earlier but later that evening presented an award without the aid of the medical device.

3.) Ho...

Seth MacFarlane defended his performance as Oscar host just as it began.

In his opening monologue, Seth was interrupted by William Shatner in full Captain Kirk regalia, who went back in time to warn him that he would be dragged through the coals for his sophomoric humor. In reality, that's just what critics are bashing Seth for today.

To be fair to Seth, he certainly held himself back from the more devastating humor he has shown in his animated series Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show. The jokes that were like re-written for the show lacked punch coming from Seth's mouth.

It was an early morning, but the payoff was great after host Seth MacFarlane hit the stage and introduced his sidekick for the morning, Emma Stone.  The comedic duo showcased one of the funnies Oscar Nominations announcements ever. MacFarlane's commitment to his role as host for the 85th Annual Academy Awards is shining right through.  Executive producers, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, are confident this year's show will be "relevant" and bring new viewers into the fold because of the Family Guy creator.

For the first time in over forty years, the host of the Oscars telecast will take part in the nomination show. Seth MacFarlane will be joining Emma Stone Thursday January 10 to announce who is in the running for the highest honors in the movie business.

Since 1972, it was customary for a Hollywood actor or actress to announce the nominations with the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Last year it was President Tom Sherak and Jennifer Lawrence.

In 1972, Charlton Heston did both Oscar hosting duties and revealing the nominees.

The move makes sense, considering t...

What were you doing 40 years ago in 1973? Our guess is that many of you reading weren't even born yet? Taking a look back at history, here were a few things going on in the world that year.

The biggest story was then President Richard Nixon told the world he was "not a crook," as the Watergate hearings began. Also that year George Steinbrenner purchased the New York Yankees for a mere $12 million from CBS. Popular films included The Exorcist, The Sting, Live and Let Die and Bobby squealed like a pig in Deliverance. Top TV shows in 73' included The Odd Couple, The Partridge Family, Columbo,...

Seth MacFarlane went to UCLA to talk about filmmaking, but he ended up revealing much more. For one, some contest winners will be headed to the Oscars with him. Also, there's a Family Guy film in the works.

According to Entertainment Weekly Seth said, "It's just a matter of when. It's hard to do that while you have the series going on at the same time; I think that's why it took 'The Simpsons' 20 seasons to figure out how to do it."

"We do know what the 'Family Guy' movie will be. The Simpsons Movie, I thought, was hilarious, but the one criticism I would have is that it's a story they p...

Some stars have huge egos and think the world revolves around them.

Their narcissistic ways and self-importance are often laughable and at times frightening.

So which stars are always finding themselves giving pats on the back to... themselves all the time? Read on...

Kanye West once said "I am the number-one human being in music"; and told Entertainment Weekly that he's "too busy writing history to read it." Quotes like these cemented his status as one of the biggest egos in showbiz. He's launched his own fragrance, brand of shoes and energy drinks; and he even had the cojones to cut ...

Peter Griffin and Daenerys Targaryen are Hollywood's hot, albeit a little odd, new couple. That's right, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, 38, and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, 24, are reportedly dating.

The couple was spotted by photographers last week at the Cafe Brass Monkey, a popular karaoke bar in Los Angeles; and over the weekend the two stars were spotted getting cozy at an Emmy awards after-party.

At first glance, the premise seems as dumb as…oh…I don’t know, a vampire killing president or Mel Gibson’s relations with a puppet. However, the difference with this piece is Seth MacFarlane! Need I say more? The “Family Guy” and “American Dad” creator carries lots of testicular weight as he juggles many hats on his very first feature film. Going all the way with this cuddly, yet crude R-rated comedy, MacFarlane’s humoristic genius flares like a pack of raging hemorrhoids!

Let's make one thing clear: “Ted” may seem cutesy with a teddy bear and Marky Mark, but the truth is it’s not the type...

Seth MacFarlane's home in California has been targeted by pranksters who covered the property in toilet paper.

The Family Guy creator's house in Beverly Hills was covered in white paper on Monday night and the gang left a note on the front door apologizing for the attack.

The letter appeared to reveal the vandals were taking revenge for MacFarlane's part in Charlie Sheen's Comedy Central Roast earlier this year, according to TMZ.com.

The letter reads, "Sorry Seth" and includes several of Sheen's catchphrases including "Winning!" and "Tiger Blood".

MacFarlane subsequently laughed off...

Seth MacFarlane is "secretly hoping" fans will grow tired of his animated hit "Family Guy" because he believes the show should have ended several series ago.

The multi-Emmy Award winning cartoon was cancelled by bosses at Fox network in 2002, but revived three years later, and the series went on to become a huge success for MacFarlane, recently debuting its 10th season.

However, MacFarlane is convinced he should have ended the show on a high after the seventh series, even though devoted fans "go pale" at the mere mention of "Family Guy" finishing.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Part o...

Celebrated animator-turned-crooner Seth MacFarlane attempted to conjure up a little Sinatra magic as he recorded his new standards album by using the singer's very own microphone.

The Family Guy and American Dad creator also recorded his vocals for "Music Is Better Than Words" in the Capitol Records studio in Los Angeles Sinatra used for many of his classics.

MacFarlane tells Spinner.com, "That mic is over 60 years old and you can see it. But it has a really nice, dark sound to it. It really plays a significant part on how this stuff sounds. You don't want it to sound too crisp."

Charlie Sheen was left red-faced on Saturday as Family Guy star Seth MacFarlane, Kate Walsh, William Shatner and Mike Tyson made him the butt of their jokes at a Comedy Central Roast.

Sheen was man of the hour as a host of A-listers lined up to pay mocking tribute, poking fun at his career and his rotating roster of girlfriends at a TV taping in Culver City, California.

Rocker Slash played the guitar as Sheen took his place in the hot seat, while host MacFarlane introduced the honoree as "a man with a big heart, because it's been dangerously enlarged by cocaine use."
