12 Stars Who’ve Been Extorted

Jet lag? I think not. In this 2007 interview to promote “ER” in Australia, John Stamos was clearly wasted out of his mind. In fact, the first word out of his mouth was “vodka.” He followed it up by reading the host’s lines off the teleprompter and making crude gestures. Two years later, John is finally admitting that he was in fact on sleeping pills and also just plain ol’ “plastered” in this clip. Duh. Well, at least he’s not a real doctor. [Celebitchy]
After the jump, some more of our favorite under-the-influence television appearances. Whether the stars admit it or not.
Restaurant Tratorria Dopo Teatro in Manhattan has started a Wall Of Fame for celebrity art. And their first honoree to be hung is Uncle Jesse John Stamos, of course! Painted by Jim Warren, the portrait is a collage of The Stamos’ most classic moments. Who do you think they should immortalize next? [via Grub Street]
Uncle Jesse John Stamos stepped out to the New York premiere of “Inglourious Basterds” with bisexual actress Gina Gershon. From the looks of it, these pretty people are bumpin’ uglies. [NYC, 8/17/09]
John Stamos is bringing down the house…more like “Full House.” The sitcom’s star is working on a plan to bring Uncle Jesse and the gang back to the big screen for a “Full House” movie, but don’t expect Ashley and Mary-Kate to take turns sucking on a pacifier. Stamos is recasting the show for the film version, which he told The New York Daily News “would probably take place in the early years of the sitcom,” which graced TVs across the country from 1987 to 1995. Stamos hopes James Franco will slick up his hair and take over his role as Uncle Jesse. He’d love for Steve Carell to channel Bob Saget as papa Danny Tanner, and for Tracy Morgan to get goofy as best friend Joey Gladstone. After the jump, some of our suggestions for Stamos and whatever lucky writer gets to pen this script.
