Olsen twin jokes go too far at Bob Saget’s celebrity roast

Celebrity roasts are by definition raunchy. They’re filled with the kind of humor that pushes the envelope. And when the bar is set at that standard, it can be hard not to go overboard. But apparently Bob Saget, (who – despite his Full House image – has been doing a very bawdy stand up act for the last thirty plus years) was upset by some of the jokes at his celebrity roast for Comedy Central. There were a ton of Olsen twin barbs, which one would think Saget would have known to expect. And I’m guessing he did, but that actually hearing the jokes was too much for him.

Bob Saget says some of his comic friends went too far by hurling crude jokes and sexual references at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen during his “roast” Sunday night. “Anybody who talks about my TV kids - that upsets me the most,” Saget told The Post. “I am very protective. I love them very, very much.”

John Stamos, Saget’s former “Full House” co-star, emceed - and took the first swipe at the 22-year-old moguls. “The whole time Bob and I were doing ‘Full House,’ he was also hosting ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos,’ ” he said. “His entire job consisted of saying ‘Take a look at this’ which is what he used to say to Mary Kate in her dressing room.”

Afterward, Stamos said he has no idea how the Olsen sisters will react. “I truthfully don’t know where their sense of humor lies these days,” he said. “I thought some of [the roast] was a little over the top. They’re still my friends,” he said of Mary-Kate and Ashley. “I think [the comics] crossed the line a few times.”

Not that Gilbert Gottfried - who suggested in his routine that Saget seduced his TV kids with chocolate milkshakes - seemed to care. “If you are an Olsen girl, you deserve it,” he said. “They’re going to just have to go home and cry in their billions of dollars.”

Obviously the jokes are merely alluded to (aside from Stamos’), so it’s tough to say just how over the line they were. I did a little searching and couldn’t find any of the specific jokes. I’m a firm believer that truly great comedy often pushes the limits. But… I don’t know, it sounds like these were probably the kind of limits that everyone knows you don’t push.

The show will air on Comedy Central on August 17th, so we’ll probably get an idea of the jokes then. But it’s obviously edited for television – and Bob Saget has editorial approval as well. And he’s made it clear where he stands, so we might be left with 2 hours of watching comedians push their salads around their dinner plates.

John Stamos mobbed by crazy fan on airplane


John Stamos doesn’t really seem like the kind of actor that you’d flip out over seeing. Maybe that’s just me, but he’ll always be Uncle Jesse, and that’s just not hot. Or the guy who played with the Beach Boys in the eighties. Cool, but again, not hot. But apparently a woman on a recent United Airlines flight from Chicago to LAX disagrees with me. Not only was she freakishly excited to see Stamos on her flight, but she actually woke him up to pester him. When he said he needed to sleep, she freaked out and eventually ended up being detained by the FBI. Stamos isn’t the jerk in this situation, it’s the crazy lady. Just want to make that clear.

In-flight turbulence is never a pleasant experience, especially when it’s the kind caused by fellow passengers. According to witnesses’ accounts, [John] Stamos was catching some shut-eye in first class when the unidentified woman approached him and tried to shake him awake—which, if she’d ever paid attention to Michelle Tanner’s attempts to do the same thing on Full House, she’d know Uncle Jesse wouldn’t appreciate.

The woman then persisted in trying to get the actor’s attention after he told her he wanted to sleep. Then, when he got up to use the restroom, she informed him she would wait in his seat until he returned. After Stamos got back to his seat, the woman persisted in trying to chat with him, refusing flight attendants’ urging to go back to her own first-class seat and repeatedly tapping Stamos on the hand.

Per Federal Aviation Administration protocol, authorities were informed of the in-flight turmoil when the plane landed, and FBI and police were waiting when the passengers disembarked. Stamos, not a stranger to mile-high misunderstandings, opted to not press charges and FBI agents left the scene after they had finished taking statements.

[From E! News]

You know what the FAA needs to bring back? The brig. I mean I know they never had them in the first place, but ships used to. The FAA really needs to borrow that idea. It wouldn’t even need to take up that much space – about the size of one of the bathrooms. I really think that’s the safest way to deal with air-hooliganism. I mean what the hell else can you do? What else were the flight attendants supposed to do? There was no way to restrain the woman. Unless there happened to be an Air Marshal on the plane (which I assume there wasn’t), they can’t hold the woman down. Sitting on her is absolutely out of the question. I think the brig is really the only sensible option here. And what could possibly make your flight more comfortable than knowing there’s a teeny tiny jail on board?

John Stamos’s biological clock is ticking

top-dbe-003899.jpg

Uncle Jesse seems to be missing the Olsen twins – not that I can blame him, they were freaking adorable when they were babies… and weighed more than they do now. But he’s told OK Magazine that he’s ready to have kids, and is fully embracing the idea of adoption. As much as it’s fun to make a “biological clock” joke about a guy (because biological clock jokes never get old, right?) I think it’s awesome that a single man is publicly proclaiming his desire to have and/or adopt kids.

“John Stamos played uncle Jesse on the ’80s sitcom ”Full House.” Now he wants to be a father. ‘If I don’t have kids soon, I am going to adopt,’ the 44-year-old actor tells OK! magazine in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday. ‘Even if I do have kids, I think I will (adopt). I always thought to myself that I would be a better father later on in life.’

“Stamos and Rebecca Romijn divorced in 2005, nearly a year after they announced they were separating after five years of marriage. Romijn, 34, married Jerry O’Connell in July. ‘Right after I got divorced or separated, I was like, ‘I’ve got to find somebody,’ Stamos says. ‘Then I went through a phase where I hated dating. Now I’m kind of embracing it.’

“Stamos, who co-stars on the NBC medical drama ‘ER,’ says he doesn’t find dating hard now. ‘I think I’m probably easier to date,’ he says. ‘I’m certainly not as wild as I used to be.’ Of his marriage to Romijn, Stamos says: ‘It burned really bright, and I kind of knew it was going to burn out at some point. But it was a great ride and I don’t regret one minute of it.’

[From the Associated Press]

Not as wild as he used to be? Isn’t this the guy who played backup for the Beach Boys at random intervals during the ‘80s? Yeah I’ve head all that sand can get lodged in some really weird places, I guess that could lead to some unconventionally wild times. There was that one incident where he was kind of out of it in an interview, which he ended up blaming on sleeping pills. So I’m glad his wild and crazy days are behind him. Seriously, if there’s a person in Hollywood who you can tease for not being all that crazy, that’s a really good thing.

I’m all for the notion of having kids and adopting them. A little of the Brangelina lifestyle, if you will. And he made a good second father on television, so I’m pretty sure that means he’s going to be damn good at it in real life too.

Full House’s Jodie Sweetin got married again; probably not on drugs


Everyone’s favorite former meth addict, Jodie Sweetin, (aka Stephanie Tanner from “Full House”) got married in Las Vegas this past Saturday. According to Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sweetin walked down the aisle for the second time at the famed Little Church of the West.

Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie in “Full House” during the sitcom’s eight-year run, got married Saturday at the Little Church of the West. Sweetin, who overcame a crystal meth addiction that cost her five teeth, married Cody Herpin, 30, of Los Angeles. Sweetin, 25, joins a long list of celebrities who married at the chapel, best known for the site of where Elvis and Ann Margret exchanged vows during the filming of “Viva Las Vegas.”

[From the Las Vegas Review-Journal]

Hopefully this marriage will work out better than her last one. Sweetin famously admitted to “Good Morning America” last year that she had developed a meth problem that cost her, (in addition to the five teeth) her marriage to her police officer husband. Sweetin claimed that after “Full House” ended, she felt a sense of loss and didn’t know what to do with herself. She tried to be normal by going to a regular high school and college, and ended up married at age 20. She quickly became bored with her life and wasn’t getting any acting jobs, and ended up experimenting with drugs and getting addicted to meth. Sweetin went on a major three-day bender, after which her friends and family (and former Full House costars including the Olsen twins, Bob Saget and John Stamos) staged an intervention. She then attended Promises (way before Britney and Lindsay made it trendy) for a six week treatment.

It seemed like she was doing a decent job of getting her act back together. Naively, at the time I wondered why she went on “Good Morning America” to announce her addiction when she’d fallen under the radar – it wasn’t like the paparazzi were stalking her or she’d gotten arrested by the cops. Then I realized it was a good story and got her back into the news, which is what she needed if she wanted to resurrect her acting career, as she claimed. Currently the gigs aren’t coming in droves, though she is the host of the prestigious “Pants off Dance off” where contestants strip down to their unmentionables while dancing to music. I smell an Emmy coming that show’s way! No wait, that’s not what I smell.

I remember seeing pictures from Jodie’s 2002 wedding, and it was the most traditional looking event I’d ever seen, complete with the poofiest veil worn since 1989. Candace Cameron was her maid of honor, and Candace’s daughter was her flower girl. It was one of those weddings that makes you think, “Hey, this girl won’t be shooting meth anytime soon.” But I guess that’s part of my naiveté. Let’s hope this works out better.

Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O’Connell got married (update wedding pics)


Rebecca Romijn, and Jerry O’Connell got married on Saturday. The two seem to have been dating forever, but apparently it’s only been a couple years, since Romijn, 34, divorced Uncle Jesse… er, I mean John Stamos in 2005. Apparently the two have also been engaged since 2005. Romijn was a model and currently one of the cast members of “Ugly Betty.” O’Connell, 3 3, stars on Crossing Jordan, which is apparently still on the air. I think it’s on for about 6 episodes a year or something like that.

I think it’s pretty awesome that the two got married so close to 7/7/07 but managed to restrain themselves from getting married on the corniest… I mean luckiest… of days. Apparently they kept the wedding under the radar by inviting guests to a barbeque, which turned out to actually be their wedding, which was held in their backyard. The only way to have kept it more under the radar would have been to get married on Eva Longoria’s holiest of days. Therewouldn’t have been a single member of the paparazzi left on the west coast on that weekend.

It sounds like their wedding was really low key, which is nice to hear about compared to a lot of the extravagances a lot of stars overindulge in for their big days. Their dogs Better and Taco were members of the wedding party, wearing formal black bowties, along with about 100 of the couple’s family and friends.

“The groom wore a tan suit, while Romijn was sheathed in a white floor-length Ralph Lauren gown and bejeweled in Neil Lane’s finest. The newlyweds were serenaded by a gospel choir, per Us Weekly, and the reception featured a western theme, complete with barbecue, real wagon wheels and hay bales.”

[From E! News]

No word on if John Stamos attended… or if he took too much Ambien again and was too drunk (and by drunk I mean sleepy) to show up.

Update Thanks to FlyNetOnline for these pics of the wedding.

Sheryl Crow and John Stamos?


Sheryl Crow is said to be dating John Stamos:

Rocker SHERYL CROW has reportedly found love with FULL HOUSE star JOHN STAMOS. The ALL I WANNA DO singer, who has recovered from breast cancer surgery, broke off her engagement to biker LANCE ARMSTRONG earlier this year (06). A source tells US publication Life + Style a mutual friend set up the celebrity pair. The couple had their first date a few weeks ago in Malibu, California, where they walked around the Malibu Country Mart shopping centre and stopped for a coffee. The source says, “They’ve been talking a lot and plan to have dinner together soon. “They’re really into each other, so it could blossom into something more.”

How into each other could they be if they only had one coffee date a few weeks ago? It sound like this whole thing is overblown and we’ll believe it when the pictures come out.

Stamos pulled a Wilmer Valderrama on the Howard Stern show this week, although he remained somewhat discreet and probably didn’t offend as many of his ex lovers as Valderrama did.

It’s doubtful that anything will come of this if they haven’t managed to see each other again after a few weeks, but it’s too juicy not to report.
