John Stamos wants to make a movie out of
Full House. Not since the talk of adapting
Hello, Larry has a rumor caused such an enthusiastic uproar.
The original show featured a widowed father (Bob Saget) who turns to a wacky friend (Dave Coulier) and his brother-in-law (John Stamos) to help raise his three daughters after his late wife was killed by a drunk driver. Yes, that was the set-up for one of the lightest of lightweight comedies.
According to Moviefone, Stamos says he's putting together a project that would
not include the original Full House cast. That would save us all from watching a 90 minute exploration of how two sickly sweet, perky Olson twins became desperately thin, tragic drug addicts. Cue the laugh track.

This is supposed to be a picture of the Olsen Twin
wax figures. Looks more like Sandra Lee x 2.
Maybe it's them several years from now.

Fans of
Full House mark your calendars! Famous twin Mary-Kate Olsen,
who recently appeared in a few episodes of Showtime's Weeds, will guest star on ABC's hit sitcom

The 22-year-old actress will appear in one episode of the good-versus-evil series starring Christina Applegate this fall. Right now, there are no plans to have the actress return for more episodes.
Slight spoilers about Mary-Kate's role on
SW? coming up!

(S03E15) Surprise, surprise! For once, a season of Weeds ended with Nancy taking control of her life instead of being at the mercy of outside circumstances. The first two season finales provided over-the-top cliffhangers, but Season Three ended with what appeared to be a fresh start for Nancy and the Botwin family.
Doug's songs were the perfect way to frame some of the ridiculous behavior that was on display at the evacuation center. His exchange with the leader of the prayer circle (the one speaking in tongues) was priceless. How about that "Just Like the Superdome" song? I can't believe that the writers went there, but I could not stop laughing after I heard the lyrics.

(S03E10) I'm starting to feel like Valerie Scottson is the new U-Turn. While I enjoy her character, she's taking a lot of time away from the Agrestic regulars (or is it Majestic now?). With the season more than half over, I can honestly say that I would have liked fewer "U-Turn threatens Nancy" moments and more of the brutal humor that Weeds is known for. Ditto for the "angry Valerie" scenes. Something tells me that she'll be around for the remainder of Season Three, and that spells trouble for my favorite band of drug dealers and suburban malcontents.

(S03E08) Only on Weeds will an episode begin with a funeral and end with a mammogram. I love how this show is able to balance tender, emotional elements with humorous and vulgar ones. The show's writers spread the wealth around this week, devoting time to underused characters like Heylia and Shane. Weeds has an incredible ensemble cast, and this episode served as another example of that fact.
At long last, Peter's death was neatly wrapped up. It turned out that Peter's dirty dealings went beyond blackmailing Nancy and Conrad. I really liked that, for once, all signs didn't point to Nancy. The DEA higher-ups knew that Peter was corrupt, and were more than willing to let his murder go unsolved. I liked the use of newspaper headlines as added details in this episode. After the funeral scene, there was a quick cut to Heylia reading the following headline: "So long honey." Later, there was a newspaper article that linked Peter to U-Turn. How convenient! Personally, I'm ready to say goodbye to Peter, and I'm glad the writers didn't keep his corpse hidden until the end of the season. It's time for Nancy to get down to business.

(S03E06) This week's episode truly had something for everyone: a chance to laugh at/with an Olsen twin, another "clothing optional" Botwin scene, and the introduction of the word "heroinilicious."
Weeds Season Three has hit its stride in my book.
It was nice to have the old Andy Botwin back, and to have the military subplot safely behind us. After seeing Andy cook breakfast in his tightie whities, it's clear that the Army didn't whip him into peak physical condition, but no matter. There were some classic Andy moments this week. It's cute that Andy's so territorial when it comes to his recipe box. I'm the same way. We also got a brief glimpse of Andy getting turned on by the mating habits of lions. Welcome back, Botwin. You were sorely missed.

If anyone missed it over the weekend, the more notorious half of the Olsen Twins was given the opportunity to write about her favorite handbag. But this little ditty wasn't for a woman's magazine, or for a gossip rag like
InTouch. Nope, Mary-Kate Olsen wrote
185 words on her favorite Chanel bag for
T:Style, a quarterly magazine insert in the Sunday
New York Times (Bob
mentioned this in his "Out of the Blogosphere" report earlier in the week).
Wow. I know the
Times has gone after celebrities to provide bylines in the past, but the names you see are along the lines of Steve Martin, Woody Allen, and Larry David. You know, people who know how to write. I don't think any had the rudimentary ninth-grade writing skills that Mary-Kate demonstrated in her little blurb. More after the jump.

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, a.k.a. "Michelle"
on
Full House, have transformed themselves into glamour girls. They're the faces of the Badgley Mischka ad
campaign. Photos of the twins in expensive gowns will appear in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and InStyle magazines this
Spring. Mark Badgley and James Mischka, creators of the fashion line, said the Olsen twins represent the edgy look
they're going for. "They have an amazing sense of fashion and individuality that intrigued us," said the
fashion duo in a statement. The
New
York Times coined their style as "Bobo", or Bohemian Bourgeois, where they pile on a bunch of clothes that
don't match, but cost a bundle.

Mr. Blackwell, the be-all and end-all of fashion, has some mean things to say about a lot of ladies who work in
television. Topping his
Worst Dressed list this year is Britney Spears, and if you
see her
outfit while shopping in Las Vegas recently, you'll understand why. Blackwell says, in his unusual
alliteration-meets-Dr. Seuss speak, "From Princess of Pop to the ultimate Fashion Flop!" I wonder what it
would be like to actually talk to this Mr. Blackwell in person?
Here's the entire
Worst Dressed
list, along with Mr. Blackwell's snarky comments and exclamation marks:
