Bob Saget's Unexpected Final Role Revealed! See His Life in Photos

Posted: 19 Feb 2022 01:15 PM PST

Rest in peace, America's Dad. Bob Saget died at the age of 65 on January 9, 2022, after entertaining fans with a long comedic career.

The Full House alum was best known for starring on the hit show from 1987 to 1995 as newscaster and dad of three Danny Tanner. The late actor went on to reprise the role from 2016 to 2020 for several episodes when Netflix released a revival series, Fuller House.

"At the end of Full House, I just kind of stayed by myself," the Pennsylvania native exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2019. "We had no warning that we were going to be canceled. We were asked to go to the WB or CW and John [Stamos] and I said, 'No, let's not do that. We should be on ABC, if we should do it.'"

The Temple University grad noted at the time that he was "prepared" when the revival came to an end, explaining that Netflix did "a really nice job" of communicating that information to cast and crew ahead of time.

Saget assured fans that they would receive a "really nice goodbye" to the long-running characters, going on to tell Us that he "stayed friends all these years" with his costars, including Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber.

"It's not just a press thing that we say," the Dirty Daddy author explained. "To see them so accomplished and see three empowered women do a comedy kids show with morality lessons — it had those elements in the original series. I was more emotional about seeing them and being with them. It's not the same show it used to be, but it can't be."

In addition to his onscreen daughters, the Masked Singer alum was survived by three of his own children — Audrey, Lara and Jennifer. Saget welcomed his girls with then-wife Sherri Kramer while they were married from 1982 to 1997. He wed Kelly Rizzo in October 2018 in California, nearly one year after their engagement.

"Kelly and my daughters love each other," the former America's Funniest Home Videos host gushed exclusively to Us in April of that same year. "It really is some magical thing that happened. They just love each other."

The Raising Dad alum chimed in at the time: "He has three girls, and I'm super close with them."

Clapping back! After Brittany Matthews was criticized for her game day behavior while watching fiancé Patrick Mahomes on the football field, rumors swirled that she was told that she couldn't attend future NFL games. Now, she's weighing in on the claims.

"Y'all just be making stuff up these days 😂😂😂," Mahomes, 26, tweeted on Friday, February 18, addressing the allegations. The fitness trainer, also 26, retweeted his note, adding, "Legit."

Matthews went on to slam the online trolls who spread the rumors in the first place.

"Ya'll really hate @brittanylynne8 for what??? Ya'll need a better hobby," a social media user tweeted on Friday. Another fan noted, “Apparently it's the cool thing to do…"

Matthews replied via her Twitter page on Friday, writing, "Yup [sharing hateful messages is] the cool thing to do. Quite hysterical how something like that can become cool."

The NFL athlete's mother, Randi Mahomes, supported her future daughter-in-law's side of the story.

"Thanks @kanyewest I agree 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌," Randi, 48, wrote via Instagram Story on Friday, sharing Kanye West's now-deleted post from February 13 where he held up a yellow legal pad. Someone digitally edited it to read: "Leave Brittany & all us Mahomes alone."

The KC Current owner — who got engaged to the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback in September 2020 — made headlines hours earlier after reports swirled that she and Patrick's brother, Jackson Mahomes, had been forbidden from attending next season's football games. The duo had been referred to as a "distraction."

Earlier this year, football fans were upset with the Texas native — and her man's 21-year-old brother — for spraying champagne on unsuspecting fans seated below their box seats while celebrating Patrick's team after they won a playoff game.

"I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week," she tweeted last month. "Hate is a very strong word to just be thrown at someone you don't even know."

Matthews is no stranger to controversy surrounding her support of Patrick's professional football career.

"Girl. I need you to stop. This was my team long before Patrick was here. It's not giving the org a good look. Chiefs are bigger than you, me or any one player," one social media user criticized the Brittany Lynne Fitness founder's October 2021 tweet about unfair referees during a Chiefs game. Matthews shot back: "In the nicest way possible … Shut up."

Matthews and the Texas Tech University alum were high school sweethearts, falling in love long before he joined the NFL, and they expanded their family. (The pair welcomed daughter Sterling, now 11 months, in February 2021.)

"Love you TONSSS❤🎉 Me Best Friend, Fiancé, Sterlings Dad, almost Husband, Other Half and well I could keep going but I won't," she gushed about her beau via Instagram in September 2021. "Sure glad you were born and CHEERS to celebrating this day forever together😊🥂."

More to say? As Kanye West continues to share (and subsequently delete) a series of scathing social media messages, he's clarifying what he thinks about Corey Gamble.

“God has a plan to remove the godless Corey needed to never be here anyway," the "Praise God" rapper, 44, claimed via Instagram on Saturday, February 19, about the Georgia native, 41. "And I think he's a nice person Not a great person A nice person who used to be around Puff's family then got around Justin Bieber and then when Kris [Jenner] got divorced he slid in He became the tv version of a father figure and as he always called [himself] 'a REAL n—ga' He once told my wife he knew what music she should be listening to So when I seen him a week later I had him removed from my daughters birthday party."

West further alleged that "we" have never met Gamble's family and that he is responsible for getting estranged wife Kim Kardashian "linked with the liberals in a deep way."

"His job is done," West continued. "He's not messy enough to do something like this. It's on purpose."

Kanye West's Most Outrageous Moments

While the Illinois native slammed Gamble, he went on to gush about Jenner, who's been dating the businessman since 2014.

"I love Kris," West continued on Saturday, praising the 66-year-old Safely founder. "This woman is a hero and she's done what she's had to do to protect her family and make sure they prosper even if it meant telling everyone not to listen to me I respect her grind her hustle and her mind Kris is one of the best to ever do it."

Several hours earlier, the Yeezy designer posted allegations that Gamble had cheated on the Jenner Communications founder.

"We outsiiiiide DONDA 2 2 22 22 😵😵😵😬😬😬🐐," the Grammy winner wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 18, alongside a screenshot of a Hollywood Unlocked story about the alleged scandal. (Both the article and the social media upload have since been taken down.)

While Gamble has yet to publicly address the allegations, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that "this is a false narrative about Corey."

Gamble wasn't the only one that the "Stronger" rapper has taken shots at this week. Pete Davidson — who's been dating the Skims mogul, 41, since October 2021 — also got caught in the crosshairs.

"HI SKETE YOU GOT ANYMORE MENTAL HEALTH JOKES FOR ME?," West wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 17, alongside a screenshot from the 28-year-old’s 2018 SNL appearance where he discussed the rapper's mental health struggles.

"You know how wrong about politics you have to be for, like, me to notice?" the King of Staten Island star previously said during a September 2018 "Weekend Update" appearance, slamming West's pro-Donald Trump remarks during his musical performance on the NBC series. "You know how annoying that is? Like, Kanye is a genius but, like, a musical genius. … Kanye, I know you're like 'Yo, this is the real me, I'm off the meds,' but take [them]. There's no shade in the medicine game. Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass. I'm quoting my therapist, my mom, and my mailman."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Ups and Downs Through the Years

The KKW Beauty founder filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after six years of marriage. While Kardashian aimed to move on and amicably coparent with West, he publicly took issue with her decision to allow 8-year-old daughter North to have her own TikTok account. (The estranged couple also shares Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2.)

"Kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create," the Selfish author wrote via Instagram Story earlier this month. "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision — because it brings her happiness. Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all."

While many of the Kardashian-Jenners have since tried to distance themselves from West, even unfollowing his Instagram, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch tries to keep things cordial.

"The other Kardashians are [supporting Kim] — they're all there for each other," an insider previously told Us Weekly in February. "Kris is really the only one who still has a relationship with Kanye. She always has and she's the peacemaker when no one else will speak to him."

Celebrity Deaths in 2022: Stars We’ve Lost

Posted: 19 Feb 2022 07:00 AM PST

Always in our hearts. Hollywood mourned the loss of icons such as Betty White and John Madden in the final days of 2021 — and unfortunately, 2022 also came with celebrity deaths that have fans reeling.

The sports world lost a football great in Dan Reeves who passed away on January 1. The 77-year-old Georgia native appeared in nine Super Bowls during his career — winning once as a player and once as an assistant coach.

As one of the winningest coaches in the league's history, his loss was felt near and far. "The football world lost a heckuva coach and man today in Dan Reeves," former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway said in a statement on January 1. "Dan was a winner and I owe a lot to him. My heart goes out to Pam and the entire Reeves family."

One day later, the Christian music industry lost a beloved musician Jay Weaver. His former Big Daddy Weave bandmate and brother, Mike Weaver, confirmed his passing following COVID-19 complications. Jay was 42.

"Thank you so much for all your prayers for my brother," Mike said in a statement on January 2, after Jay was hospitalized with the virus a few days prior. "You have walked with him through a huge fight, and I'm so sorry to bring this news but I'm also excited to celebrate where he is right now. My brother Jay went to be with Jesus just a couple hours ago due to complications due to COVID-19 on top of everything else that he already had going on."

He continued: “The Lord used [Jay] in such a might way out on the road for so many years … I believe even though COVID may have taken his last breath, Jesus was right there to catch him. My heart’s broke for my family, but we all just really wanted to thank you for walking with us through so much for so long.”

On January 5, the Korean film world mourned the death of a young star in Kim Mi-soo, who passed away at age 29.

"Kim suddenly left us on January 5," the late performer's agency, Landscape Entertainment, said in a statement translated by the publication Korea JoongAng Daily. "The bereaved are deep in their sorrow at the sudden sadness. Please refrain from reporting false rumors or speculation so that the family can mourn in peace."

Brad Pitt Is ‘Devastated’ After Angelina Sells Winery Stake: It ‘Hurt’ Him

Posted: 19 Feb 2022 06:55 AM PST

Still reeling. Brad Pitt was caught off guard when Angelina Jolie sold her stake in Château Miraval winery amid their ongoing legal battle.

The Fight Club actor, 58, tried to purchase Jolie's stake in the company, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, but the Maleficent actress, 46, "made the negotiations difficult and was not being fair."

While Pitt was hoping they'd come to an agreement, he was "blindsided" when he learned in October 2021 that Jolie sold her share in the winery allegedly without his knowledge.

"He assumed they'd work it out because she knows how important the winery is to him," the insider says, noting that when the Kung Fu Panda actress sold it "out from under him" allegedly "out of the blue," Pitt was "devastated."

The Ocean's Eleven star — who shares Maddox, 20, Pax, 18, Zahara, 17, Shiloh, 15, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 13, with Jolie — had a "passion for the business," which is why he held out hope that he could purchase the California native's shares without going to court.

"It's been a part of his life and she had no interest," the source tells Us of the winery, claiming that Jolie sold her part of the establishment "just to punish him. She did it to hurt him."

Earlier this month, Us confirmed that the Oklahoma native is suing the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider actress for allegedly selling her winery shares to a third party without giving him any warning. Pitt further accused Jolie of attempting to gain profits that she did not earn and breaching their initial agreement to only sell their stakes with mutual consent, according to court documents obtained by Us on Thursday, February 17.

The Salt star allegedly stopped contributing to the Château Miraval loan in 2013, while Pitt continued to put money into the business. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor further claimed that after dedicating time to the winery, he helped make it profitable for the first time since they purchased it together in 2008.

A second insider close to the situation tells Us that Pitt had a "right of first refusal," which Jolie allegedly "did not follow through with." The Moneyball star was "not given the chance to push it," the source says.

"She knew he wanted it and sold it to get back at him," the insider adds, noting the sale also means that Jolie's half of the winery is no longer in the family. "She had no interest [in the business]."

Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie in September 2021 claiming that she was trying to cut him out of a lucrative sale of Château Miraval shares. One month later, a press release confirmed that the Girl, Interrupted star, who split from the Ad Astra actor in 2016, sold her stake in the estate and winery.

The exes, who were declared legally single in April 2019, tied the knot at the French estate in August 2014. However, the property has now become collateral damage in their messy divorce.
