In fact, he's a regular fixture in Francesca's TikToks. 7 Scorsese has appeared on his daughter's social media in the past. In 2021, the father-daughter duo went viral after Francesca shared a video of Scorsese attempting to guess the names of various feminine products. He shares Francesca with his wife, Helen Morris. He's also father to two older daughters: Cathy Scorsese, 59, whom he shares with first wife, Laraine Marie Brennan, and Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, 48, whom he shares with his second wife, Julia Cameron. 7 Martin Scorsese with two of his daughters, Domenica and Francesca.

'To [their] absolute shock and bafflement,' the 'Killers of the Flower Moon' filmmaker said yes, Goldberg said. 'We never FaceTimed with him. We'd never met him until the day he came to shoot,' Goldberg told the outlet. 'He just liked the script and agreed based on the script, which was an absolute miracle.' Rogen, for his part, told Variety that the cameos in the show 'had to all be people that served a very specific role in the stories.' 7 'Scorsese was literally the first person [we thought of],' Rogen told Variety. Getty Images 'For Scorsese, the role was someone my character would f—ing do anything to work with, who would pound this puzzle piece into a shape that it clearly doesn't belong in just for the opportunity to work with,' he told the outlet. 'At the same time, it had be a person you would believe would make a Jonestown movie.' He added, 'Scorsese was literally the first person [we thought of]. If you're around my age and you grew up loving movies, he's the guy.' Although Scorsese is already a three-time Emmy winner, this marks his first nod in an acting category. 7 Scorsese has a slew of awards to his name. In 2011, he won his first Emmy in the outstanding directing for a drama series category for directing the pilot episode of 'Boardwalk Empire.' The following year, he took home two more Emmys for 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World' in the outstanding nonfiction special and outstanding directing for nonfiction programming categories. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' director also has one Oscar, four BAFTA Awards, three Golden Globes and one Grammy to his name. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, will be held on Sunday, September 14, at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater.

Haunted by Annabelle? Paranormal investigator dies after touring with ‘demonic' doll
Dan Rivera, a 54-year-old paranormal investigator and US Army veteran, died unexpectedly Sunday night while on tour with the infamous and allegedly haunted Annabelle doll, organisers confirmed. Rivera had just completed a sold-out, three-day stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of his 'Devils on the Run Tour' when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room, New York Post reported. According to The Evening Sun, firefighters and medics rushed to the scene after receiving a report of CPR in progress. Despite emergency efforts, Rivera was pronounced dead at the scene. The New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), where Rivera served as lead investigator, confirmed his death on Monday. 'His exact cause of death remains unclear,' the group stated. Authorities have said the incident did not appear suspicious, but a formal investigation is ongoing. Rivera was widely known in the paranormal community for his work on the Travel Channel's Most Haunted Places and as a producer on Netflix's 28 Days Haunted. He used social media, particularly viral TikToks, to bring new audiences into the world of paranormal research and the legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren. As part of the NESPR team, Rivera had been touring the US with the original Annabelle doll — a Raggedy Ann figure famously tied to a string of supernatural claims dating back to the 1970s. The Warrens, pioneers in the field of paranormal investigation and founders of NESPR, alleged that the doll had physically moved on its own, stalked people, and even caused violent accidents, including a stabbing and a car crash involving a priest. Annabelle was initially gifted to a nursing student in Connecticut named Donna, who first reported the disturbing activity. A psychic medium later claimed the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a six-year-old girl named Annabelle, while the Warrens concluded it was actually demonically possessed. It now resides in the Warrens' occult museum in Connecticut, which has been closed to the public since 2019 due to zoning issues. Tony Spera, the Warrens' son-in-law and current caretaker of their legacy, continues to bring the doll on tour across the US. Rivera was one of the key figures in this travelling exhibit, helping to reintroduce the doll's chilling lore to younger generations. 'I have so many amazing memories with this guy,' fellow paranormal investigator Ryan Buell wrote in a tribute on TikTok. 'Just as recently as two months ago, we traveled around the country and introduced a whole new generation to Ed and Lorraine Warren's legacy.' Rivera is survived by his wife, Sarah, and their four children. The Annabelle doll, now world-famous through 'The Conjuring' film universe — the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time — has continued to stoke public fascination. Earlier this year, conspiracy theorists falsely linked the doll to a prison breakout and a fire in Louisiana after it passed through New Orleans. Spera swiftly dismissed the rumours, telling The Post that the doll had never been 'out of our control.' Despite its fearsome reputation, the Warrens maintained that the doll was securely locked away in a blessed container — and warned against treating it as a harmless curiosity.

How Kai Trump's heartfelt RNC speech unexpectedly launched her successful content creator journey
When Kai Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee last July, she spoke from the heart about her grandfather, then-former President Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt earlier that month. What Trump didn't expect was that her social media platforms exploded from her speech, and in turn, her content-creator dream blossomed. Today, Trump sports over 6 million followers across her TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channels. YouTube, specifically, has been a place where she peels back the curtain on her life, from playing rounds of golf with Rory McIlroy and famous YouTube golfers, to walking out to UFC 314 with her grandfather. While Trump is an avid golfer, who just signed an NIL partnership with Accelerator Active Energy ahead of enrolling at the University of Miami in 2026, she has a deep passion for content creation and has loved watching her platform grow. "It's been very fun growing it, especially after the RNC and how everything fell into place and I finally had more time to do content creation," she said. "And I always wanted to do it in my life, so it was really cool to have an opportunity to do it. But it's been amazing to build a fan base, be a role model for people to look up to as well – younger kids in general. It's been really cool." Every content creator will say they simply have to take a leap of faith when it comes to posting videos. It requires a certain kind of confidence, which Trump showed on that RNC stage. Some may have been terrified by speaking to thousands while millions at home were also watching, but not Trump, who has taken that confidence into her content-creation journey. "The RNC, to be honest with you, I wasn't really nervous," she said. "I don't know why, but speaking from the heart, it was very easy to go up there and talk about the situation that happened and talk about my grandpa. Speaking in public and content creation is very similar. "You have to talk in front of a camera, you've got to learn how to engage with the audience and you to do that through your camera or with public speaking." Trump gets millions of views on her videos, whether it's short ones for TikToks or long day-in-the-life posts on YouTube. No matter the length, she's received a ton of engagement, and her fans have liked how candid she is about her life. "My whole life, I've just always kind of been around just a lot – a lot of things going on and moving [around]," she said. "I love content creation just because I can share the inside of my life, but I can also interact with the base I've built and my community. I think that's really cool, and obviously I'm very, very thankful for my supporters and all those people who watch my videos. "I'm extremely grateful for everyone supporting me. I fell in love with it just because it's really cool to film video and all of a sudden edit it, go through that process, post it and see the end result. It's really cool, especially when you have people interacting with it." Trump will be heading to Miami in 2026, where she said her golf career will be "my first priority." However, as long as she has the time, content creation will always be something she wants to pursue.

What's next in the PandaNinjaXx vs CoryxKenshin saga? So far, CoryxKenshin hasn't responded publicly.
