Seth MacFarlane to direct film

Deadline.com reports that Universal Pictures has acquired the $65 million budget "Ted," an R-rated comedy that will mark the feature directorial debut of Seth MacFarlane. The film, which was developed by Media Rights Capital, is a comedy about a man and his teddy bear.

The feature will mix live action and CG with MacFarlane also co-starring and providing the voice for the title character. The Hollywood Insider blog says the story centers on a seemingly normal man who, as a child, made a wish that he could talk to his bear, only to have his bear come alive.

The bear grows up alongside the man but one day the man's girlfriend poses an ultimatum: her or the bear. Sources told HI that MacFarlane wants to cast Mila Kunis, who has voiced Meg Griffin on "Family Guy" since 1999, as the girlfriend.

Seth Green Engaged!

Sorry ladies, he's off the market!! from digitalspy:

Seth Green has reportedly got engaged to girlfriend Clare Grant.

According to People, the actor did not pop the question on New Year's Eve despite speculation to the contrary.

The pair apparently attended the Tarina Tarantino Sephora launch party in Hollywood on Wednesday and were seen cuddling at the valet stand, but remained silent on their impending nuptials.

Family Guy in trouble again!

I should really watch it more...altho....I do love you so, Seth MacFarlane! We should make babies!! from the live feed:

The Parents Television Council is filing an indecency complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against Fox's "Family Guy" for a March 8 episode that included -- and this is from the press release -- "bestiality, orgies and babies eating sperm."

Since there's nothing hotter than PTC president Tim Winter talking about graphic TV content, let's get right to his quote:

"Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘eleven-way’ gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk ... if that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire program."

I know. I can't believe I missed "Family Guy" last week either.

And presumably Winter meant "fantasizing" not "fanaticizing," the latter meaning "to cause to become fanatic."

The PTC is urging its purported 1.3 million members to file FCC complaints against "Family Guy" as well. The organization has a history of taking issue with the show's content and series creator Seth MacFarlane was asked about the PTC last year:

"Oh, yeah. That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values — I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? — they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my d**k as far as I’m concerned."
