Bills QB Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld marry in Southern California

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld tied the knot on Saturday, according to multiple media reports. Pictures emerged from the power couple's wedding that took place in Southern California, where both Allen and Steinfeld live. Photos obtained by 'People' magazine show Steinfeld, in a white strapless gown, walking down the aisle as well as the couple sharing a kiss. The timing and location of the wedding were closely guarded secrets, though Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let the cat out of the bag in March by revealing the date as May 31. He later backtracked, saying he didn't know anything. Despite the pending wedding, Allen was present for the start of the Bills voluntary series of spring practices, which opened on Tuesday. The Bills return to practice on Monday, though Allen isn't scheduled to address the media until the Bills open their mandatory sessions on June 10. Allen, who turned 29 last week, and the 28-year-old Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games and the couple was inseparable at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP honor. Allen followed suit in April in being spotted with Steinfeld arriving for an after-party following premier of the movie 'Sinners,' which stars Steinfeld. Steinfeld began her acting career at the age of 10, and earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' 2010 remake of 'True Grit.' Allen is entering his eighth NFL season. In March, he signed a contract extension worth $330 million.

Renée Victor, 'Coco' and 'Weeds' star, dies at 86

Renée Victor, 'Coco' and 'Weeds' star, dies at 86 Renee Victor, an actress known for her roles on the Showtime series "Weeds" and in the Pixar animated film "Coco," has died. She was 86. A representative for Victor confirmed the actress' death to USA TODAY on June 1. She had been battling lymphoma, a type of cancer, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. Victor provided the voice of Abuelita in the acclaimed 2017 animated movie "Coco." The Pixar film, which grossed more than $800 million worldwide, won two Oscars, for best animated film and best original song for "Remember Me." A sequel to "Coco" was announced in March, and Victor had indicated she planned to reprise her role. "It was my great pleasure and experience working with the incredibly talented (directors) Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina!" she wrote on Instagram in March. "We get to do it again! This is what we've all been waiting for! I'm so excited!" 'Coco 2' is in the works at Pixar: What we know She added, "Coco shared a Mexican tradition that is now celebrated around the world in unity. An amazing amount of work and talent goes into the creation of this unique film." Watch the opening number of 'Coco' you didn't see Victor also played housekeeper Lupita on Showtime's "Weeds," which ran from 2005 to 2012. According to IMDb, she appeared in 22 episodes across the show's eight seasons. Her other television work included appearances on "Dead to Me," "Snowpiercer," "Vida" and "ER," and on the film side, she also starred in "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Outside of acting, Victor was a singer and performed with her husband as the duo Ray and Renee. In a statement shared on Instagram, Pixar paid tribute to Victor with a reference to "Remember Me," the Oscar-winning song from "Coco." "We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Renée Victor, the voice Abuelita in 'Coco' and an incredible part of the Pixar family," the company said. "We will always remember you."

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane on his other love: Sinatra

Even if you're not a regular "Family Guy" viewer, you've probably heard the show's iconic theme song. The song is largely the creation of Seth MacFarlane, whose love of animation may only be rivaled by his love for big, jazzy tunes. In fact, he's even got a semi-regular gig at the Vibrato Grill Jazz Club in Bel Air, Calif., singing songs from the Great American Songbook. But one thing he doesn't seem to love, considering he's lived his life in the public eye, is a certain kind of attention. He says sometimes getting in front of a crowd (or even our "Sunday Morning" cameras) doesn't quite come naturally. He is, he admits, an introvert. "Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. I don't even wanna be here!" he said. Seth MacFarlane performs at the Vibrato Grill Jazz Club in Bel Air, Calif. CBS News In fact, he says he sometimes has to resort to liquid courage. "I think I had like four scotches before I walked out on stage at the Oscars," he said, referring to his hosting gig in 2013. "I do get, yeah, I definitely get nervous." You might know MacFarlane as the voice of Peter, Brian Griffin and Stewie on the show "Family Guy" that he created more than two decades ago. In 1999, MacFarlane became the youngest showrunner in Hollywood history. And less than a decade later, with three network shows on the air, he became Hollywood's highest-paid writer-producer. But back in college, MacFarlane's first love was singing. "My sister, at the time, was going to the Boston Conservatory of Music for musical theater," he said. "She has a beautiful singing voice. And I had got it into my head that I was going to maybe go to grad school for musical theater as well. So, I applied and got in. And I was all set to go to their grad program. And I got this offer from Hanna-Barbera to come do an animated short for a series that they were developing. And so, I just had to take it, moved out to California. But there was an instant there where I could have kind of diverged into a completely different career and never, you know, never even thought about something called 'Family Guy.'" MacFarlane loved film scores as a college student and to this day he uses a live orchestra to score his TV shows. "It's the one part that I don't really understand, even to this day," he said. "There's still something mysterious about how a composer sits down to write, and then a couple weeks later walks in front of an orchestra, plops down these charts, and they all play it. And you hear this insane, magical sound. That still eludes me." Frank Sinatra Jr, and Stewie and Brian (Seth MacFarlane), perform "At Frank Sinatra's Restaurant (Jr.)" from "Family Guy": For his latest album "Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements" (out this week), MacFarlane and Joel McNeely, his composer and arranger for "Family Guy," combed through the Sinatra Family archives for songs that had been arranged for Sinatra but never fully recorded. For McNeely, the process was almost like speaking to the ghosts of the greatest arrangers in popular music, the men who helped make Sinatra's voice shine. McNeely showed an arrangement by Nelson Riddle: "This was the first one we read when we had a sight-reading session at Fox. We got an orchestra together just to see what was there, you know, because there was nothing to reference. But all this time later, these little black pencil dots on paper, there's his voice brought back to life. I mean, it was chilling." Seth MacFarlane recording songs for his album "Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements." Verve/Republic So, what exactly does an arranger do? "Frank Sinatra, there's a recording of him saying that the arrangers could be in a sense a recording secretary, taking the vision of the artist and interpreting it into this," McNeely said. MacFarlane said, "You take a song like 'Fly Me to the Moon,' for example, which I think was originally a ballad. [Here], it's the same song, but it's a completely different animal." McNeely says MacFarlane is preserving the essential legacy of the American Songbook through his recordings and the music of the TV show "Family Guy." But what about the legacy of "Family Guy"? MacFarlane has some thoughts: "When I started the show – this is the conversation that, like, tortures me at night! – when I started the show, my attitude was, it doesn't matter, none of it matters. It's like, It's funny? Let's do it. "And the older I've gotten, I look back at shows that we've done, and I'm like, Gosh, I guess it's a little more complicated than that, isn't it? Comedy and jokes do have an impact. I have to figure out a way to maintain what the show is, and maintain the thing that people love. But at the same time, recognize that, like, all right, I am analyzing it now in a different way than I did when I was younger." If it's true that you're nobody 'till somebody loves you, then thanks to "Family Guy"'s legion of fans, Seth MacFarlane, it turns out, is a very big somebody indeed.
