George Lowe death: Space Ghost voice actor dies at 67
The Florida-born voice actor began his career on radio before doing voice-over work for TBS and Cartoon Network.
In 1994, he landed the role of host of the surreal parody talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which aired first on Cartoon Network and later on Adult Swim.
His death on Sunday, March 2, was confirmed to Deadline by a representative. No cause of death has yet been announced.
Lowe's longtime friend 'Marvelous Marvin' Boone paid tribute in a post on Facebook, writing: 'I'm beyond devastated. My Zobanian brother and best friend for over 40 years, George Lowe, has passed away after a long illness.
'A part of me had also died. He was a supremely talented Artist and Voice actor. A true warm hearted Genius. Funniest man on Earth too. I've stolen jokes from him for decades. He stole some of mine. He was also the voice of Space Ghost and so much more. Pweeloto.'
George Edward Lowe was born in Dunedin, Florida, on November 10, 1957. At the age of 15, he landed his first radio job, working at local station WWJB.
He went on to do television voice-over work from the late 1980s to mid-1990s before being cast in the title role in 1994's Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
The show starred an animated version of Space Ghost, a Hanna-Barbera superhero originally created in the 1960s, as a talk show host. He conducted surreal interviews with live-action celebrity guests who appeared on a video screen and whom Space Ghost typically treated as fellow superheroes. Guests included The Ramones, Adam West, and Jim Carrey.
The show originally ran from 1994 to 1999 on Cartoon Network. It was revived on Adult Swim and ran from 2001 to 2004.
The success of the Space Ghost character led to the spinoff series Cartoon Planet, which Lowe also starred in. The character also crossed over to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, appearing in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Lowe himself appeared as a character, in animated and fictionalized form, in Aqua Teen Hunger Force, taking on various roles including policeman, actor, and attorney.
He most recently voiced Space Ghost in a February 2024 episode of Max's Jellystone.
On X/Twitter, Adult Swim shared a tribute image of Lowe along with a quote from Space Ghost: 'I was dead long before you were born, and I'll be dead long before you die.'

Decoding Nicola Peltz's ‘revenge wedding dress'
For most couples, the renewal of wedding vows is likely a celebration reserved for a milestone anniversary or the marking of a new chapter – perhaps when the children have left home, or some hardship has been overcome after decades. But for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, three years of marriage, plus a rumbling family feud, proved reason enough. Brooklyn, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, and billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz have shared photographs from their vow renewal earlier this month. Their original wedding in 2022 was a £3m affair at the Peltz family's 13-acre beachfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. For most young couples, one lavish celebration might suffice – but the Peltz-Beckhams are far from ordinary. Their second wedding was held at a Peltz estate in Westchester County, near New York, with an undisclosed guest list. In some respects, it was a family affair: the bride's father, Nelson, officiated the ceremony, while the bride wore the wedding dress her mother, Claudia – a former model – had worn to marry her father in 1985. The couple also shared photographs from what appeared to be an afterparty, attended by guests including designer Georgina Chapman, the ex-wife of Harvey Weinstein, and her partner, Adrien Brody. Notably absent from the glamorous crowd were Brooklyn's parents and his three siblings, Cruz, Romeo and Harper. For the afterparty, Nicola chose her 'something blue' in the form of a silk Dolce & Gabbana archive gown from the spring/summer 1998 collection, adorned with butterflies. A similar version recently sold on luxury resale site 1stDibs for more than £10,000. Butterflies – a symbol of renewal, rebirth and new beginnings – are a motif Nicola has long embraced; her 28th birthday in 2023 was marked with a butterfly-themed celebration. This lavish vow renewal comes amid rumours of an ongoing rift between the couple and the wider Beckham clan, with the newlyweds notably absent from key family moments – including David's 50th birthday. Brooklyn has remained silent on milestones such as his father's knighthood, and was even spotted by fans having 'unfollowed' his brothers on Instagram – the modern-day hallmark of a fallout. Nicola, meanwhile, has rarely been photographed with her in-laws, and is said to have declined Victoria's offer to design her 2022 wedding dress. At the ceremony last week, however, all appeared picture-perfect. The 30-year-old bride wore her mother's vintage ivory silk gown, subtly updated with an on-trend dropped waist and balloon sleeves adorned with floral appliqué, worn off the shoulder. She kept the styling minimal: two long-stemmed white roses in hand, a floral headband and a veil, which appears to have been removed partway through the service. It was every inch the classic white wedding look, which is less unusual than you might expect, according to Kate Halfpenny, bridal designer and founder of Halfpenny London. 'I've seen a huge rise in vow renewals lately, particularly brides going all out the second time around,' she says. 'Vow renewals carry a different kind of magic. The words aren't just about promise; they honour proof. That brings a depth and confidence that shines through in how brides express themselves.' For Nicola, the ensemble also marked a departure from her original bridal gown, a custom Valentino creation that took A-list stylist Leslie Fremar a year to plan, according to British Vogue. The look was completed by handmade French lace gloves and an ornate veil, with Fremar calling it 'a work of art.' By comparison, the family heirloom she refashioned for the renewal was a low-key choice, likely a very intentional decision. 'Nicola has gone for something less 'strict' and opted for something that feels more ethereal – softer,' says bridal stylist Rosie Boydell-Wiles. 'It's not overly embellished, it's not glam and glitzy. It's a very pared-back, more boho, fluid dress. It seems to portray innocence, as well as strong family values, given that it's her mother's.' Of course, the practice of renewing vows is often associated with reinforcing commitment after difficult periods – family feuds or otherwise. The bride might well have enjoyed the freedom to shape the celebrations with such tensions removed, not least when it came to what to wear. 'The first time you get married there's so much pressure and you're trying to please everyone,' says Boydell-Wiles. 'For a renewal, a lot of brides want to show off a slightly different side. It's far more about what they themselves want – less compromise, less consideration of other people's opinions.' The highly public Peltz-Beckham rift has inevitably prompted comparisons to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's fractured relationship with the Royal family. Brooklyn was reportedly keen to invite Harry and Meghan to the 2022 wedding, but they did not attend. According to the groom, this second celebration was pure in its intentions. 'It was beautiful', Brooklyn told People magazine on 9 August. 'We just wanted a really beautiful experience – a really cute memory.' He added: 'To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her.' Perhaps this won't be the last wedding look we'll see from the reconfirmed bride after all.

Chris Hughes packs on the PDA with girlfriend JoJo Siwa he shares loved-up snaps after enjoying a luxury cruise with her family
Chris Hughes packed on the PDA with girlfriend JoJo Siwa in loved-up snaps as he enjoyed a luxury cruise with her family through the Caribbean. The couple - who met during a stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year - spent four lavish days on the Royal Caribbean Star Of The Seas ship, which set sail from Puerto Rico to Florida. It's the largest cruise ship in the world, and it arrived at Port Canaveral, Florida on Saturday for the first time. Sharing some behind-the-scenes on social media, former Love Island star Chris, 32, and American singer JoJo, 22, looked incredibly happy as they posed for snaps together. One photo saw the lovebirds gazing at one another as they enjoyed a trip to a picturesque island. They were in good spirits as they stood in front of the all singing, all dancing cruise ship - which sets guests back about £901 per person for an inside cabin, to over £4,419 per person for a suite. Chris Hughes packed on the PDA with girlfriend JoJo Siwa in loved-up snaps as he enjoyed a luxury cruise with her family to Florida The couple - who met during a stint on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year - spent a lavish four days on the Royal Caribbean Star Of The Seas ship In a black-and-white photo, Chris and JoJo posed together for a family snap, sharing that they had company on the trip. Chris tagged her dad Tom and mum Jessalynn, as well as her older brother Jayden. Jessalynn confirmed the group enjoyed four days on the ship, writing on Instagram: 'My mom heart is completely full. The absolute best four days on the most beautiful cruise ship with my favorite people in the world. @royalcaribbean #royalpartner.' Meanwhile, JoJo hasn't shared a thing on her social media, as she is currently promoting her new single Raspy instead. Her posts were wiped in place for her new album artwork, which she described as a 'diss track' to herself or the world. Chris recently revealed he turned his relationship with JoJo from friendship into romance by putting his feelings down on paper. The pair became instant friends on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year and began dating after the final. Chris told how he went to the US to surprise JoJo for her birthday and wrote down his feelings on a piece of paper in a hotel bar in order to tell her how he really felt.

Then I wasn't confused anymore. I knew I needed to write it down to explain to her how I was feeling. 'I went to Florida thinking "I really like this person", but I was slightly confused about the feelings. I had already written her birthday card before I flew over. I took all these presents over for her. They were fun and sentimental gifts rather than anything of monetary value. 'But the night before her birthday, I realised my feelings had changed. I told her: "I've got to go do something. I'll be back in half an hour." I went to the hotel reception and borrowed a pen and came back up to the room.' Chris said he loved JoJo as a friend at first but his feelings began to change towards the end of the series. Chris revealed he turned his relationship with JoJo from friendship into romance by putting his feelings down on paper Up until her relationship with Chris, JoJo had identified as a lesbian and was in a relationship with Australian influencer Kath Ebbs, although they quickly broke up after she left the Big Brother house. It comes after JoJo recently opened up about her relationship with Chris during a Q&A with her fans on Instagram. One fan had asked: 'What's the best thing about dating Chris?' JoJo replied: 'No matter what I am feeling he is always there to help me with that feeling. Either celebrate a high one or get through a low one.' 'He is the most fun to be around and he's not only good to me but he's good to everybody. Genuinely I think he's the nicest person I know. 'Also all of the universe signs are fun to spot out. Honestly while I was answering this question one of our songs came on the loudspeaker of where I'm at right now.' Another fan pointed out that the couple's star signs were the most compatible, to which JoJo agreed that it 'made sense.'

Lauren Sanchez left 'heartbroken' as she shares candid update about 18-year-old son Evan
is feeling 'heartbroken' but 'proud' as she marked an emotional milestone dropping her son Evan Whitesell at The University of Miami for his first year of college. On Monday, the newlywed, 55, took to Instagram to share a sweet photo of Evan putting together a piece of furniture in his dorm. 'Dropped off Evan at college today. 18 years of early mornings, late night snacks and family then there he was building his own dorm cabinet,' Sanchez wrote on top of the photo. 'A small thing but in that moment I saw the start of his next chapter. Proud. Heartbroken. Grateful,' she concluded. She also shared a photo of Evan when he was just a few years old to her story later that evening. Sanchez, who married Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos in a lavish Venetian ceremony in June, shares son Evan with her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell. She also shares 17-year-old daughter Ella with Patrick, as well as son Nikko Gonzalez, 24, with ex Tony Gonzalez. Last year, Sanchez revealed that Whitesell had been accepted to The University of Miami and would be studying business there. In 2023, the former journalist admitted that her blended family with Bezos was like 'the Brady Bunch.' Bezos shares four children - three sons and one daughter- with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott. 'On a typical Saturday, we hang out, we have dinner with the kids, which is always fun because you never know where the conversation is going to go with this many kids,' Sanchez told Wall Street Journal Magazine at the time. 'We are the Brady Bunch!' she shared. During the interview, she also shared co-parenting advice for other parents, explaining that she has a great relationship with her ex Tony. She admitted that it took them about five years to reach such a great place, but it was well worth it. 'My greatest example is the relationship I have with my eldest son's father, Tony. I learned how to co-parent with him, so I have more experience than Jeff might have,' the children's book author explained to the outlet. 'Tony and his wife [October "Tobie" Gonzalez] are my best friends. It wasn't always that way. There was friction [at the beginning]. But Tony and Tobie were at Thanksgiving with us [this year], and we're really good friends,' she explained. Sanchez shared that one of the most important things in a co-parenting relationship is communication. 'I'm not saying that being best friends with your ex is the end-all be-all. But you do need to be able to communicate,' she said. It's something that her son, Nikko, is especially grateful for, she says. 'I'm so proud of it. My son looks at me, and he's like, "I'm the luckiest boy in the world because I can have Thanksgiving with both my parents and they don't have to be married."'
