  • Olsen Twins: John Stamos Has “Good Feeling” Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Might Appear in Season Two of “Fuller House”

    The Olsen twins might show up in season two of Fuller House, if John Stamos’s begging got to them. The actor and producer explained as a guest on the Today Show Friday that he did exactly that.

    Matt Lauer asked Stamos if there was any chance the Olsen twins–who played the role of Michelle Tanner in Full House–might show up in a subsequent season.

    “They’re totally welcome. I was going to see Ashley last night and beg her to be on the show,” John Stamos replied. “We would love to have them. I know everybody would love to see them. I have a good feeling about it.”

    A source tells E! News, however, that nothing has changed with regard to the Olsen twins and Fuller House, despite John Stamos’s claims.

    Series creator Jeff Franklin still hopes something can eventually be worked out to bring the Olsen twins on to the show–if only on an occasional basis.

    “I am still hopeful that Mary-Kate or Ashley or both of them will come back and be a part of it, even if it’s just for an hour. We miss that. Everybody does feel that hole in the family,” he said before the first season premiered. “But it’s like, all family reunions, there’s always somebody that doesn’t show up. But hopefully next time around, we’ll have them back.”

    What’s your take on John Stamos’s comment about having begged Ashley Olsen to appear on Fuller House?

    Do you expect the Olsen twins will ever make an appearance on the Full House reboot?

    Neither Mary-Kate nor Ashley Olsen has acted in a very long time. The Olsen twins are successful New York fashion designers. It appears as though they’ve completely left their acting background in the dust.

    What might it take to convince John Stamos the Olsen twins probably aren’t going to appear on Fuller House–ever?

  • “Full House” Final Season: John Stamos Shares Nostalgia in Light of “Fuller House” Premiere

    Full House preceded Fuller House by decades, and in light of the premiere of Fuller House on Friday, John Stamos seemed to be feeling a bit nostalgic. He drew fans back to the end of the final season of Full House–just to tug on their heartstrings.

    Stamos, who is reprising his Full House role as Uncle Jesse in the reboot, took to social media to share the Full House cast’s final bows.

    “In every end, there is also a beginning,” he captioned his post–a series of three video clips of the Full House cast bidding their fans adieu.

    All of the Full House actors, with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–who together played the role of Michelle Tanner–have joined the cast of Fuller House.

    John Stamos serves as one of the show’s producers in addition to playing his role as Uncle Jesse.

    Have you checked out Fuller House via Netflix yet? Do you like it as well or better than Full House?

    So far, not many of the reviews have been favorable.

  • Ashley Olsen, Sister Mary-Kate: How is Their Absence Explained in First, Subsequent Episodes of “Fuller House?”

    Ashley Olsen and twin sister Mary-Kate–often referred to as the Olsen twins–are the only original Full House cast members who didn’t sign on to the reboot, Fuller House. Now that the series has premiered via Netflix, those who don’t subscribe are curious how the absence of Michelle Tanner–played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–is explained in the first episode.

    E! News reports Michelle Tanner is sort of an afterthought in the first episode of Fuller House. In fact, the first reference lasts about 13 seconds, and appears to throw major shade at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

    In the scene, Stephanie Tanner (played by Jodie Sweetin) asks her dad, Danny Tanner, (played by Bob Saget), where Michelle is.

    “Well, Michelle sends her love, but she’s busy in New York running her fashion empire,” he says.

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, of course, run their own fashion empire in New York City.

    Following the remark, the entire Fuller House cast–John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron-Bure, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and more–stare directly at the camera for what feels like an eternity.

    Fast forward several more episodes. Yes, that’s right. The topic of Michelle Tanner doesn’t come up again until episode seven. Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) and her daughter Ramona (played by Soni Nicole Bringas) return home from a NYC shopping trip. As they are preparing for Ramona’s birthday party, D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure) asks them how the trip went.

    “Amazing,” Ramona says. “I got my first designer dress for the party. It’s an Elizabeth and James by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.”

    “At these prices, no wonder they don’t need to act anymore,” Kimmy Gibbler says.

    If that’s not shade directed squarely into the faces of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, then nothing is.

    The final reference comes in the final episode of season one. It takes place as follows, in a phone call to Michelle Tanner.

    Stephanie Tanner: “Oh, let’s call Michelle”

    D.J. Tanner: “It’s five in the morning in New York.”

    Stephanie: “Ah, perfect. Aw, voicemail.”

    Kimmy Gibbler: “Why you not come to my wedding? You’re in big trouble mister.”

    D.J.: “No way, Jose!”

    Stephanie: “Awww, nuts.”

    All: “You got it dude!”

    At that is all the coverage Michelle Tanner–once played by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–get in Fuller House.

    Is the message here that Fuller House will be just fine even without Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?

    Fans will have to wait for the ratings to see about that.

  • “Fuller House” Premieres on Netflix Later This Week, With Carly Rae Jepsen Singing Theme Song

    Fuller House, the long-awaited reboot of Full House, premieres this week on Netflix. Singer Carly Rae Jepsen–fresh on the heels of her Grease: Live appearance–has a big role to play in Fuller House, too. No, Jepsen isn’t acting as a friend or foe of the Tanner girls. Instead she is singing the theme song.

    The same theme song that opened each episode of Full House, “Everywhere You Look,” will be opening each episode of Fuller House, too. The big difference will be that in place of Jesse Frederick belting out the tune, Carly Rae Jepsen has that covered instead.

    Rolling Stone reports that Carly Rae Jepsen recorded her version of “Everywhere You Look” in 2015, setting aside time from promoting her album “Emotion” in order to do so.

    Jepsen said in her Rolling Stone interview that she has wonderful memories of watching Full House, making it all that more special to be singing the Fuller House theme song.

    “Full House is essentially my childhood. It was my favorite TV show growing up,” she said. “I can remember being on a camping trip with my parents and asking them what time it was, how much further ’til we get there kind of thing, and they said, “Three more Full Houses!” I understand what that means: two-and-a-half hours. So I was offered this and wondering if it could fit into my schedule; I had a lot going on at the time. I remember my team thinking, “I don’t think you’re going to have time to do this.” It was casually mentioned in one of those phone calls, and I said, “What? We have to make time for this! I’ll come in the middle of the night, whatever it is.” When I found out that Butch Walker was part of it too, that sealed the deal for me, because obviously I admire what he’s done and heard such great things that I was dying to get in the room and combine two things I was very curious about.”

    Has Carly Rae Jepsen been allowed any special privileges regarding the Fuller House reboot–as in has she seen any of the upcoming episodes?

    “No, not yet,” she said. “I’ve seen a poster for it, but I haven’t seen any trailers or things like that. Either way, I feel like there’s an amazing concept already, and I’m looking forward to watching the storylines. I told my girlfriends we’re going to have to have a popcorn night and really enjoy it from start to finish.”

    Will you be doing as Carly Rae Jepsen plans when Fuller House premieres on Netflix this Friday, February 26th?

    You can bet lots of people–okay, so it will probably be mostly girls–will pop that popcorn and curl up on the couch in anticipation of the Tanner girls–Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t reprising their role as Michelle Tanner), along with Andrea Barber–in Fuller House form. Of course these people won’t get to listen to themselves sing the Fuller House theme song, the way Carly Rae Jepsen can.

  • John Stamos Shares Throwback Video of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Is He Disappointed They Didn’t Sign on to “Fuller House?”

    John Stamos shared an adorable throwback video of Mary-Kate and ashley Olsen on Sunday. The Olsen twins shared the role of little Michelle Tanner in the hit TV show Full House. Just days ahead of the Full House reboot–Fuller House–premiere, it appears John Stamos might be feeling disappointment over Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen choice of not signing on to join the cast.

    In the video–shared on John Stamos’s Instagram account–he is seen playing with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in the grass during a trip to Hawaii.

    Stamos captioned his post quite simply.

    “#StamosHomeMovies #Fullerhouse Hawaii ’89 Mk/A #GiveHimaHug,” he wrote.

    The Olsen twins made their acting debut on Full House when they were just nine months old. John Stamos played the role of their Uncle Jesse.

    Stamos reprises his role in Fuller House. The reboot premieres via Netflix this coming Friday, February 26. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the only cast members not to sign on to the reboot.

    Fans will no doubt love Fuller House just the same. In addition to John Stamos, they will see Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and more settle into new, but familiar, roles 20 years after Full House.

    In addition to playing Uncle Jesse on Fuller House, John Stamos can also be seen on his hit Fox show, Grandfathered, where he stars alongside Josh Peck.

  • “Full House” Cast Reunites on “Tonight Show” Ahead of “Fuller House” Premiere

    The Full House cast–at least several of them, anyway–reunited on The Tonight Show for a hilarious sketch ahead of the upcoming Fuller House premiere.

    There’s only about a week and a half to go before the Full House cast reprises their roles and shows up via Netflix in grownup form on Fuller House.

    In addition to landing Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier, Jimmy Fallon also got Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber to appear on his show. Since Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won’t be reprising their role as Michelle Tanner, Fallon played her himself–in his Donald Trump persona.



    Full House     fans no doubt loved the touch of nostalgia when the whole gang sang the show’s original theme song.

    Were you a Full House fan? Will you be tuning in to Fuller House when it premieres on Netflix?

    What did you think of the Full House gang–and Jimmy Fallon’s Donald Trump–in the hilarious sketch above?

  • “Fuller House” Stars Share Excitement Over Reboot During Television Critics Association Panel

    Fuller House stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber joined the upcoming show’s executive producers–Bob Boyett and Jeff Franklin–at a Television Critics Association panel in L.A. on Sunday. The show’s three main characters shared some nostalgic feelings about reprising their Full House characters.

    Candace Cameron Bure admits she was a bit overwhelmed during her first day on the Fuller House set.

    “I had to pause and stop. The emotions got to me and I was crying. I was flooded with so many memories,” she said.

    Her character, DJ Tanner, is a recently widowed pregnant veterinarian with two sons on Fuller House.

    Andrea Barber, reprising her role as DJ’s best friend Kimmy Gibbler, and Jodie Sweetin in her previous role as Stephanie Tanner, both move in with DJ to help her with her family.

    Fuller House feels “like coming home again to your childhood home,” Andrea Barber said Sunday.

    “It’s fun filling in the blanks of what’s gone on with these characters” over the years,” Jodie Sweetin shared.

    Jeff Franklin created Fuller House, and he warns that although the first episode is filled with nostalgia, fans shouldn’t expect that in subsequent episodes.

    “We wanted to create an episode for the fans, (as in) the last episode of Full House we never got to do. Fans know the show inside out, probably better than I do,” he said. “Going forward, it’s great to have the guys and Becky coming through now and then. We want them there, but this is a show centered around these three women. As the episodes go along, the visits will become more sporadic.”

    The only Full House cast members who won’t return to Fuller House are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The Olsen twins played the role of Michelle Tanner, DJ and Stephanie Tanner’s little sister.

    Are you as excited about the premiere of Fuller House as Candace Cameron Bure, Andrea Barber, and Jodie Sweetin?

    You don’t have long to wait.

    Fuller House begins airing via Netflix starting on February 26.

  • “Fuller House:” There’s Still A Remote Chance Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Will Make Cameo Appearance in Second Season

    Fuller House is set to air via Netflix starting in February, and fans are still a bit dismayed that Michelle Tanner–played in the original Full House by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–won’t even make a cameo in the reboot.

    A new report, however, says all is not lost–at least not yet.

    “There is still a chance we will see the Olsen twins on the show in the future and in a future season,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com.

    It seems the Olsen twins haven’t acted in a long time, and while that is certainly part of their concern, they also don’t want to return to acting if the series winds up being bad.

    “The girls are going to wait and see it and see how it is accepted before they move forward with it,” the source adds. “They both understand that there is a lot of excitement surrounding it but they keep asking the question, ‘What if it is bad?’ They are in a wait and see mode right now but there is certainly a chance they may show up in the future based on its success.”

    That said, if Fuller House is the massive hit everyone expects it to be, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen might make a cameo appearance or guest star in the second season–if Netflix orders a second season of the show.

    In the meantime, any talk of Michelle Tanner in Fuller House–at least for the first season–will be a case of art imitating life. Michelle is off in New York, working on a career in fashion.

    Fans are beyond excited to see Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber reprise their Full House roles, and fan favorites like Lori Loughlin, John Stamos, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier make guest appearances.

    Does Fuller House need Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Do you think the Full House reboot can be a big hit–even without them?

  • Mary-Kate Olsen, Olivier Sarkozy Marry in Smoky Affair on Friday

    Mary-Kate Olsen–one half of the famous Olsen twins child stars, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–tied the knot with Olivier Sarkozy in what was no doubt a smoky affair on Friday evening. A reception followed the small wedding, and was held at a private Manhattan residence, where guests were required to turn in their cell phones prior to entering.

    Page Six reports that decor at the reception included “bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes, and everyone smoked the whole night.”

    Olivier Sarkozy proposed to Mary-Kate Olsen back in 2014, and have lived together in New York since before that. Nearly 20 years her senior, Sarkozy is 46 and Mary-Kate Olsen is 29.

    It was the role of little Michelle Tanner on the hit TV show Full House that Mary-Kate and twin Ashley Olsen first got their claim to fame. The girls shared the role because of child labor laws. John Stamos, their former costar and both star and producer of a reboot of the show, invited Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to sign on to the new show–Fuller House–but they declined. The twins initially said they hadn’t been invited to join the reboot, to which John Stamos loudly cried foul. He left the door open for the twins to appear at any time. The first season has now been filmed, with no sign of Mary-Kate Olsen or her twin.

    Olivier Sarkozy is the half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He has two children from a prior marriage. This is Mary-Kate Olsen’s first marriage.

    It will be fun to learn more details about the wedding, such as whether Ashley Olsen was her sister’s maid-of-honor.

  • Lori Loughlin Confirms: No Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in “Full House” Reboot

    Lori Loughlin has confirmed–much to the chagrin of Michelle Tanner fans–that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won’t appear in the Full House reboot, Fuller House. Set to air via Netflix in 2016, there was some sort of conflict between producers–one of whom plays Lori Loughlin’s husband Uncle Jesse–and the Olsen twins from the beginning. They claimed John Stamos didn’t invite them to appear in the reboot. He immediately cried foul and said they were welcome any time.

    Since then, speculation has run high as to whether the fashion designers would at the very least make guest appearances on Fuller House from time to time. Now Lori Loughlin explains that definitely won’t be the case.

    “No, I don’t think they’re going to make a cameo. They didn’t this season,” she said in a recent interview with the Huffington Post.

    Lori Loughlin added that filming Fuller House took her back to her Full House days.

    “After you got over the initial surreal experience of like, ‘Wow, we’re here again,’ we sort of fell back into line exactly as we were,” she said. “And we had a lot of laughs and a lot of good times and it was a lot like picking up right where we left off.”

    Loughlin added that the spinoff centers around Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner), and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). The rest of the Full House gang–yes, everyone who starred in the original series, except Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–will appear from time to time throughout each season.

    “So, for the very first episode we were all there…then we came on throughout the season and we each did different episodes on our own,” Lori Loughlin explained. “I did one episode where it was just me and the girls…we were all in the first one, and then sprinkled out through the rest of the season.”

    It’s likely that people aren’t all that surprised by Lori Loughlin’s confirmation about no Olsen twins in Fuller House. They have seemed in recent years like they believe they’re above doing TV, and have fully immersed themselves in the world of fashion.

  • Jodie Sweetin: Recovering Addict Worked at Treatment Center, Looks Forward to ‘Fuller House’

    Jodie Sweetin is a recovering addict–something she speaks of openly. When Full House ended, she found acting gigs, but only sporadically. In recent years she worked as director of a drug and alcohol treatment center. This work provided valuable life experiences, as well as an income, but acting was always her first love and first choice of jobs.

    These days Jodie Sweetin has left her job at the treatment center and has returned to acting. She is reprising her role as Stephanie Tanner on the upcoming Full House reboot, Fuller House. She was as excited about working with her former cast mates as she was for her return to acting.

    “I was completely on board with it,” Sweetin said during a phone interview while taking a break from filming Fuller House. “I stepped away from (acting) for a little while and enjoyed a normal experience, but when this came along, I got to go back and do the thing that I love. I missed it terribly and am beyond thrilled to be back.

    “The show is so well loved,” Jodie Sweetin added. “My kids are seven and five and watch the show. They think it’s hilarious to see their mom as a kid doing silly stunts and dance moves on the show. They come to the set now and are so excited to see me doing it again. They’ve known the cast their whole lives from barbecues, birthday parties and swimming.”

    In addition to Jodie Sweetin, Fuller House will star Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner, Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler, John Stamos as Uncle Jesse (Stamos also serves as one of the show’s producers), Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, Lori Loughlin as Aunt Becky, and Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey.

    Noticeably absent are the Olsen twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won’t be reprising their role as Michelle Tanner.

    Will you be tuning in to Netflix in 2016 to check out Jodie Sweetin and the old Full House gang in Fuller House?

  • Olsen Twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Why Did John Stamos Want Them Fired from ‘Full House?’

    The Olsen twins–Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen–played little Michelle Tanner on Full House. Fans are likely quite disappointed that the fashion designers have opted out of appearing on the show’s reboot, Fuller House. Now a new scandal-of-sorts has emerged from a preview from Lifetime’s upcoming Unauthorized Full House Story. Fans have since learned that John Stamos–who played the role of Uncle Jesse, a role he reprises in Fuller House–wanted the Olsen twins fired.

    “It’s sort of true that the Olsen twins cried a lot,” Stamos told critics at the Television Critics Association’s press tour Thursday in Beverly Hills. “It was very difficult to get the shot. So I [said], ‘Get them out … !’ That is actually 100 percent accurate. They brought in a couple of unattractive redheaded kids. We tried that for a while and that didn’t work. [Producers] were like, all right, get the Olsen twins back. And that’s the story.”

    John Stamos also reacted out of anger when he learned that the Olsen twins had told the media they weren’t invited–as the other actors were–to appear in the Full House reboot.

    They have since reportedly made amends.

    It doesn’t sound like the Olsen twins have completely ruled out appearing on the reboot, but they won’t appear as regular on the show.

    “The Olsen twins are teetering whether or not they’ll be around,” Ted Sarandos, head of content acquisition for Netflix, said last week.

    Did it shock you to learn that John Stamos once wanted the Olsen twins fired?

  • Ashley Olsen, Sister Mary-Kate Might Appear on ‘Fuller House’ Yet

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were reportedly a no go for the upcoming Full House reboot, Fuller House. Now a new report says it may not be a done deal.

    Ted Sarandos is the chief content officer of Netflix. He recently hinted that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s decision might not be as definite as it first seemed.

    “The Olsen twins are teetering on whether or not they’ll be around,” he said while addressing a gathering at the 2015 Television Critics Association in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. “We’ve been able to reassemble all of the [rest of the] cast.”

    It still doesn’t sound like the Olsen twins will be in the first few episodes of Fuller House.

    “They’re not in the current creative,” Sarandos added. This means they could still be written in if they opt to join the cast later on.

    In the meantime filming has started on Fuller House, with actors John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier reprising their Full House roles.

    If Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen change their minds and reprise their role as Michelle Tanner, how do you suppose they would work it out? When they were little, each was only allowed to spend so many hours on set. That’s certainly not the case any more, however.

    Do you think Fuller House will fare well without Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Or do you believe the show needs the Olsen twins to achieve Full House-type success?

  • Jodie Sweetin Talks Michelle Tanner, Absence of Olsen Twins on ‘Fuller House’

    Jodie Sweetin dished to Us Weekly about the Full House reboot, Fuller House, while attending the premiere of Insidious on Thursday. She shared that Michelle Tanner will very much be a part of the show–even though Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have turned down the opportunity to star in the new show.

    Will someone else play the role of Michelle Tanner?

    No.

    “The Michelle character is still going to have a presence. It’s not like we’re not talking about her,” Jodie Sweetin said. “I love and support [Mary-Kate and Ashley], and I think we’re going to be just fine.”

    Jodie Sweetin and her costars Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone), John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis), Lori Loughlin (Rebecca Donaldson), Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner), and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler), are set to begin production on Fuller House in July. Sweetin expects the first day the cast is all together will be spectacular.

    “We first started talking about this in like 2007, 2008 about trying to do some sort of a spinoff and kind of bringing the characters back. This has been a long time in the making,” she explained. “I had kind of given up for periods of time where I’m like, ‘It’s not going happen!’ But we pitched it to Netflix and they were so excited about it.”

    Jodie Sweetin is excited about playing a grown-up Stephanie Tanner.

    “I think that Stephanie is going to be a really interesting, complex, deep character,” she said.

    Do you share Jodie Sweetin’s enthusiasm about Michelle Tanner still being a part of the reboot without actually being on the show? Will that be enough for Full House fans? Or do you think Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s refusal to take part in Fuller House will wind up playing negatively into the series?

  • Lori Loughlin A Definite for ‘Full House’ Reboot, Aunt Becky and Uncle Jesse Reuniting

    Lori Loughlin will reprise her role as Aunt Becky–the wife of John Stamos’ character Uncle Jesse on Full House–when the reboot, Fuller House, begins filming this summer. Fuller House will air on Netflix, and will star Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber.

    Lori Loughlin made her official announcement on Thursday on Good Morning America.

    “I’m very excited,”she said. “Officially I am going to be a part of the reboot, or spin off, Fuller House.”

    A few weeks ago, when asked about the spinoff, Lori Loughlin said she would appear on the show only if “the powers that be are fair to all of us.”

    Loughlin, like John Stamos and Dave Coulier, won’t appear in every episode of Fuller House.

    “We’re going to help Candace and Jodi and Andrea like spin off the new show…,” Lori Loughlin explained. “We’ll come back and we’ll do the first episode and then maybe throughout the season we’ll pop up here and there.”

    Two Full House actors who won’t appear in the reboot are the Olsen twins–Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

    “We would have loved it, it would have been great but I understand,” Lori Loughlin said of the actors who together played the role of Michelle Tanner.

    Filming for Fuller House is set to begin this summer. Full House ended back in 1995, but most of the cast members stayed close.

    “We truly, truly had a great time,” Loughlin said. “I think it’s one of the reasons it was so successful because I think you really could tell we enjoyed being with one another.”

    Kudos to Lori Loughlin for reprising her role as Aunt Becky on Fuller House. After all, it just wouldn’t be the same to have Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) without his beautiful wife.

    Were you a Full House fan? Are you excited about Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Lori Loughlin, and more coming together once again to reprise their beloved characters?

  • Olsen Twins: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Not Returning to TV for ‘Full House’ Reboot, John Stamos Not Happy

    The Olsen twins won’t reprise their role as Michelle Tanner in the upcoming Full House reboot.

    “Although Ashley and Mary-Kate will not be a part of Fuller House, I know how much Full House has meant to them and they are still very much considered family,” executive producer Robert L. Boyett said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. “It has been exciting to see how they have built their professional careers, and I support their choice to focus on their fashion brands and various business endeavors. I appreciate their support and good wishes toward Fuller House.”

    Does this surprise anyone? If so, it shouldn’t. The Olsen twins have been noticeably absent for everything akin to a Full House reunion the cast members have held or attended for years.

    And then, of course, there was that comment made when Netflix and John Stamos officially announced the inception of Fuller House, saying the Olsen twins were unaware of the reboot.

    “We just found out about it today,” Mary-Kate Olsen said the day after John Stamos confirmed rumors of the spinoff were true. “I guess we’re going to talk to the creators and see what’s happening.”

    John Stamos was quick to respond to her comment, and he cried ‘bullsh*t!’

    Stamos–who will both produce and guest star on Fuller House–made amends with the Olsen twins shortly thereafter, however. He had a conversation with Mary-Kate Olsen and apparently decided to let sleeping dogs lie.

    Since receiving the final word from the Olsen twins about appear on Fuller House, John Stamos is said to be ‘heartbroken.’

    And given a statement he posted on Facebook, John Stamos seems a bit irate with the Olsen twins, too.

    Just so you reporters know – this is not a money gig for any of us- quite the opposite – we want to give the fans what…

    Posted by John Stamos on Friday, May 22, 2015

    Surely no one is surprised the Olsen twins aren’t returning to appear in Fuller House. Fans can look forward to Candace Cameron Bure, however, who will reprise her role as D.J. Tanner. Jodie Sweetin will be back as Stephanie Tanner, too, as will Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler. Along with John Stamos as Uncle Jesse, Dave Coulier, Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, and more will reprise their roles on a guest starring basis.

  • Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: John Stamos Says ‘Bullsh*t’ They Didn’t Know of ‘Full House’ Reboot

    Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have made headlines in recent days for a comment they made about the upcoming Netflix reboot of Full House. The Olsen twins claimed they didn’t know Fuller House was a definite.

    When the spinoff was first announced by Netflix and later that same night by John Stamos–who also serves as producer–on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it was said that actors Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber would lead the cast. Actors Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were reportedly in talks to work out deals for guest appearances.

    “We just found out about it…I guess we’re going to talk to the creators and see what’s happening…I’m shocked I haven’t heard from John [Stamos],” Mary-Kate Olsen said a couple of days after the announcements were made.

    Stamos–who will reprise his role of Uncle Jesse on Fuller House on a recurring basis–cried foul. Actually, he cried, ‘Bullsh*t.’

    The difference stances taken by John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen regarding the Full House reboot sort of indicate that communications might not be so great between them. Is there more than meets the eye in their relationship?

    Jodie Sweetin, who will reprise her role as Stephanie Tanner in Fuller House, recently said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that many members of the Full House cast have stayed close throughout the years.

    “I’ve kept in touch with pretty much everybody. I work in drug and alcohol treatment right now, and my office is actually right next door to where John Stamos was filming his new show. I heard about it from crew that worked next door. I called him and was like, “We’re literally sharing a parking lot right now.” So I stay in contact with Bob [Saget] and John. I’m really close with Dave Coulier and his wife Melissa. My family and I go over there for barbeques, for dinners, Super Bowl parties. Candace and I have remained close, and Andrea. It’s just crazy how much these people have been an integral part of my life,” she explained.

    You’ll notice there was no mention of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on that list.

    It certainly sounds like there might be some bad blood between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and either John Stamos or the entire Full House cast.

    Do you think the Olsen twins will reprise their role as Michelle Tanner? And how might they do that? After all, there are two actresses and just one role–and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t little kids like they were when they played Michelle Tanner.

  • Lori Loughlin: Will She Join Candace Cameron Bure, John Stamos on ‘Fuller House?’

    Lori Loughlin is presently in talks about returning to the upcoming Full House spinoff–Fuller House–on a guest starring basis. Her former costars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber are the new show’s main characters, reprising their Full House roles as D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner, and Kimmy Gibbler, respectively.

    During a recent interview with Access Hollywood , Lori Loughlin said she would love to reprise her role as ‘Aunt Becky,’ but is holding out for what she calls a ‘fair deal.

    “They made deals with half the cast, but not the other half,” she said. “I think we would all like to come back, if the powers that be are fair to all of us.”

    John Stamos, who is producing the show for Netflix, is reprising his ‘Uncle Jesse’ role–husband of Lori Loughlin’s character–on a recurring basis. Fans would no doubt love to see both Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky back on the show. Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and the Olsen twins–Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–are also in talks for guest roles.

    Lori Loughlin sounded a bit uncertain about the return of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who together played the role of Michelle Tanner.

    “It doesn’t matter how much money they get paid, they don’t care. I honestly don’t know if they want to do it,” she said. “I’m sure they’re talking to them. I don’t know what’s going on there.”

    The Full House spinoff was formally announced by Netflix on Monday evening. Later that same night, John Stamos announced the upcoming Fuller House while he was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

    Are you among those who hope to see Lori Loughlin, the Olsen twins, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier return to the Full House spinoff–at least on a recurring basis? Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of the show that will begin airing in 2016.

  • Lori Loughin: Will She Appear on ‘Full House’ Spinoff, ‘Fuller House?’

    Lori Loughlin, probably best known for her role as ‘Aunt Becky’ on the hit show Full House, is in talks about appearing on the show’s Netflix spinoff, Fuller House. It’s uncertain thus far, however, as to which way she’ll go.

    Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber are set to reprise their Full House roles as D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner, and Kimmy Gibbler on Fuller House. John Stamos, who played ‘Uncle Jesse’ on the show, serves as producer of the upcoming spinoff, and has said he will also make guest appearances reprising his original role.

    Lori Loughlin, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and the Olsen twins–Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–have yet to commit or turn down their guest roles.

    Lori Loughlin told Access Hollywood recently that she would love to reprise her role as ‘Aunt Becky,’ but is holding out for a ‘fair deal.’

    “They made deals with half the cast, but not the other half,” she said. “I think we would all like to come back, if the powers that be are fair to all of us.”

    As for the role of Michelle Tanner–shared on Full House by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–Lori Loughlin says she’s not sure if they want to return.

    “It doesn’t matter how much money they get paid, they don’t care. I honestly don’t know if they want to do it,” she said. “I’m sure they’re talking to them. I don’t know what’s going on there.”

    Netflix announced the spinoff, Fuller House, on Monday night. Later that same night, John Stamos appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and shared the good news as well.

    Will you be tuning in to Fuller House when Netflix premieres the first of 13 episodes in 2016? Will you be disappointed if Lori Loughlin, the Olsen twins, Dave Coulier, and Bob Saget don’t sign on to appear?

  • Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen: Both Date Older Men

    Ashley Olsen and twin sister Mary-Kate Olsen–once known as the Olsen twins–are both dating much older men. Might this be one of those ‘twin’ things like knowing when the other one is in pain or sad? Ashley Olsen’s boyfriend is Moneyball director Bennett Miller. He is nineteen years her senior at forty-seven years old. The two started dating earlier in 2014.

    Mary-Kate Olsen is engaged to French businessman Olivier Sakozy–who is the half brother of the former president of France. He is forty-five years old, making him seventeen years older than Mary-Kate.

    You must admit it’s rather interesting to see these two young girls in their late twenties who are both dating considerably older men. It might be due in part to their line of clothing. The Olsen twins are fashion designers and some of the things they’ve been spotted wearing look like they are meant for considerably older women. A bit on the eccentric style, they have been spotted wearing faux fur, lots of pearls and even an abundance of black lace.

    Since first going public with their relationship at Philip Seymour Hoffman’s funeral in February, Ashley Olsen and her beau are seldom seen in public together. They were spotted on Sunday, however, leaving her apartment in Manhattan. She was dressed this time like a young woman her age, wearing a collared shirt and sweater. Ashley Olsen has previously been linked to actor Justin Bartha, businessman David Schulte, and restaurateur Scott Sartiano.

    The Olsen twins’ initial claim to fame came more than two decades ago when they starred as Michelle Tanner in the hit TV series Full House.

    Did you ever imagine that the adorable twins who played little Michelle on Full House would one day date or be engaged to men who are so much older than they are? Of course no one thought they would leave acting and become famous fashion designers, but they definitely did that, too. In fact, they’re now designing wedding gowns. It will be interesting to see if the twins design Mary-Kate Olsen’s gown for her marriage to Olivier Sarkozy–and Ashley Olsen’s if she decides to stick with Bennett Miller.

  • Olsen Twins Visit Ellen DeGeneres in Rare TV Appearance

    The Olsen twins made a rare TV appearance last week when they visited Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show and dished about their very private lives. It’s not often that the former Full House stars, who together comprised the role of little Michelle Tanner, do interviews. They last appeared on daytime TV–and it was on Ellen’s show then, too–in 2010.

    The 27-year-old Olsen twins weren’t just being friendly, however. Instead they were promoting their new fragrances, Elizabeth and James Nirvana White and Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black.

    “Our brand is about duality and we wanted to be able to offer options,” Mary-Kate says of why they are putting out two new fragrances instead of one.

    Ellen did manage to get the girls to divulge a few things about their differences in a hilarious game she dubbed ‘Mary-Kate or Ashley.’

    It seems that even though the twins are 27 now people still get one confused from the other.

    “For us I think it’s more like, ‘Are you Mary or Kate?’ or ‘Are you Mary-Kate and Ashley?” Ashley explained. “I’m one of ’em!”

    Ellen’s game had the Olsen twins answering questions like ‘Who is the messiest?’ and ‘Who is the funniest?’ Ellen also admitted that she still has a hard time telling the twins apart.

    The Olsen twins long gave up their acting careers to become very successful fashion designers. Even though their clothing line is eclectic to say the least, they certainly are raking in the dough from their collections. Their Elizabeth and James and The Row lines aren’t cheap either and rivals some of the top New York City designers. Their more affordable clothing lines, Olsenboye and StyleMint, cater to a more moderate taste and expense.

    Did you catch the Olsen twins on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this past week? What do you think of their incredible transformations from Michelle Tanner to talented and very shrewd businesswomen?
