Uncle Jesse fans, get excited. Following his awesome turn as a “Rocky Horror”-loving dentist on “Glee,” John Stamos is getting his very own show. Well, hopefully. A network has to pick it up first. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. What is this show? It’s called “Dead Lawyers” and apparently it was briefly developed eight years ago for Syfy. In it, John will play a wheeling and dealing lawyer who is pummeled by a bus on his way out of work. Keep reading »
“I play Corny Collins [in 'Hairspray'], he’s sort of a DJ. He hosts a music show, sort of like a straight Ryan Seacrest … Ryan’s a friend. We’ve kissed.”
—John Stamos talks on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” about his role in an upcoming staging of “Hairspray,” and makes a crack at Ryan Seacrest, who has long been rumored to be gay even though he’s dating Julianne Hough of “Dancing with the Stars” and the upcoming “Footloose.” I have a feeling if John and Ryan were actually buddies, they aren’t anymore.

The end of summer is a very sad thing that I don’t even want to talk about because I can’t stand the thought of having to wait nine months before tank tops and beach naps again. But there is one silver lining: fall television. It’s when new shows launch and our faves return for another round. And this year, I can’t help but notice that a lot of shows have some very, very exciting guest stars lined up. After the jump, the ones I’m looking forward to the most.

“These slanderous allegations to smear my reputation were part of their defense to redirect attention away from the federal crime of extortion. There was no hot tub, no drugs, no nudity, and nothing sexual in nature involved in my friendship with this woman. They lied about everything.”
—John Stamos in a written statement after Allison Coss and Scott Sippola were found guilty of trying to extort him for $680,000. Their attorneys claimed that Stamos had intimate relations with Coss when she was 17 years old, and that she had taken photos of him with strippers and cocaine. But we believe you now, Uncle Jesse.

Back in December, John Stamos became the latest star to be a victim of an extortion plot. Only, as his lawyers spun the case, it sounded like the alleged blackmailers, Allison Coss and Scott Sippola, didn’t have much to leverage beyond a few pics of John with fans. But as Coss and Sippola’s trial begins, the plot thickens. In the opening arguments, the defense’s lawyer claimed that Stamos had a fling with Coss in 2004, when she was 17 and under age. The lawyer said that Stamos noticed Coss at a club and ordered her a drink, later inviting her to his hotel room with a friend. Stamos’ lawyer counters, “The allegations made today in the courtroom by the defendants’ attorneys during opening statements will not be proven because they are simply untrue.” Keep reading »
John Stamos has just become my favorite man in Hollywood. According to the Enquirer, which we will choose to believe in this specific incident even though we know better, John is taking a six-month hiatus from work to undergo intensive “love therapy.” Meaning, he wants to unravel the mystery of why he’s a 46-year-old bachelor. He’s going to spend time navel-gazing and figuring out why his romances always crumble, because he’s finally ready to find true love and settle down. A round of applause for John! [Celebitchy]
I think the entire human race should be required to go to “love therapy.” Think about how much better dating would be if everyone figured their crap out instead of dragging their baggage around with them. I hope a few other celebs follow John’s example. I’m not naming any names … well maybe I am. After the jump, some more celebs who we’d like to send to “love therapy.” Keep reading »

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] Keep reading »
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. Keep reading »
