Dave Coulier reveals cancer diagnosis
Actor Dave Coulier reveals a cancer diagnosis in his latest announcement.
Fox - 2 Detroit
Dave Coulier is celebrating a major victory in his health journey — with the help of his "Full House" family, of course.
Coulier, who was diagnosed with stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2024, is "cancer free," the actor's former co-star Candace Cameron Bure revealed on social media Monday. Bure played D.J. Tanner opposite Coulier's fun-loving Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom from 1987-1995.
"DAVE IS CANCER FREE!!!!", Bure wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself with Coulier and his wife, Melissa Coulier. "Join me in celebrating this AMAZING news — let's shower him with all the love in the world! ❤️❤️❤️"
Kelly Rizzo, wife of Coulier and Bure's late co-star Bob Saget, joined the celebration in the comments section. "I knew we would get this good news soon!! We all love you so much, Dave! I know Bob is smiling down big," she wrote.
A representative for Coulier confirmed his cancer status to People magazine. USA TODAY has reached out for comment.
The news comes after Coulier, 65, opened up about his condition's progress in an interview with Parade published Monday. The comedian told the outlet he had undergone a biopsy for a lymph node in his neck, which came back with "no sign of cancer." He jokingly added, "One of the few times in my life when 'zero' has been a great number to hear."
Coulier's improved health also means he'll be able to be a doting grandfather.
Per Parade, the "Full House" alum's son Luc, who lives in California, welcomed his first child with wife Alex on Thursday. "We'll be making multiple trips to see that little boy," Coulier told the outlet.

Coulier revealed his cancer diagnosis in November 2024 in an episode of his podcast, "Full House Rewind," and accompanying interview with People magazine.
In the episode of "Full House Rewind," Coulier was wearing a hat, telling viewers he had begun chemotherapy and cut his hair as a "preemptive strike." He said he wanted to talk about his "personal battle" because "cancer has affected nearly all of us," noting he lost his sister, niece and mother to cancer. In the People interview, he revealed his older sister was also battling cancer.
"I saw what they went through, and if I can be even half as strong as they were during their battles, I'm going to put up a pretty good fight," he said on the podcast.

Coulier told People magazine his wife Melissa and his friends devised a "very specific plan" for treating his cancer and that he received positive news when his bone marrow test came back negative, at which point his "chances of curable went from something low to 90% range."

Country Star Allegedly Kills Woman In Car Accident
Country Star Allegedly Kills Woman In Car Accident originally appeared on Parade. Country singer Conner Smith was involved in a fatal car accident in Nashville over the weekend, allegedly striking and killing a woman walking in a crosswalk. According to a release shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Smith, 24, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck on Sunday, June 8 when he hit Dorothy Dobbins, 77, as she crossed the road inside a marked crosswalk. Dobbins was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she later died. A source says that the incident was an accident, and that Smith was not under the influence or distracted by his phone. 'The preliminary contributing factor for this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian,' the release said. 'He showed no signs of impairment.' The investigation is ongoing and, at this time, there are no charges against Smith, according to police. Sources on the scene claim law enforcement released Smith right away as there were no signs of impairment. In a statement to People Magazine, Smith's attorney confirmed the country singer was 'involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.' 'His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins' family during this incredibly difficult time,' the statement said. 'Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.' The accident took place on the last day of the annual CMA Fest, a four-day festival in Nashville that brings country music's biggest stars together for special concerts, collaborations and events. During the fest on Sunday, Smith performed with close friend Dylan Marlowe. The day before, he stopped by Lainey Wilson's Bell Bottoms Up in Nashville to perform at Big Machine Label Group's CMA Fest event. Smith is signed to Big Machine Records' Valory label, and released his debut album Smoky Mountains last year. He's opened for Luke Bryan on tour, and was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards.

Ameera Khan says people mistaken her race as Malay
10 Jun - Ameera Khan recently said that she is not Malay, despite many assuming that she is, seeing that she is the half-sister of celebrity Neelofa. The model, who spoke about her race in a recent TikTok live, said that she is Arab from her mum Noor Kartini's side and Pakistani from her father Abdul Halim Khan's side, which makes her a non-Malay. "But I was born and raised in Malaysia, I can speak Malay and Kelantanese as well. If I can't speak Malay, you can just slap me," she said. Ameera said that she would usually just admit to being Malay to make it much easier for her. "It's not that I don't want to admit it, but my parents don't have Malay blood. It's just that nowadays, I will only answer yes when people ask me such. If I say no, people judge me. So, I'm like yes. Say yes," she said. (Photo Source: Ameera IG, Media Hiburan)

S.F.'s new Pride festival faces backlash over stance on war in Gaza
Two Bay Area artists have pulled out of SoSF, because of organizers' stance on the war in Gaza, and are instead planning their own competing Pride event. DJ Adam Kraft, founder of the event company Fake and Gay, and drag queen Nicki Jizz, who created the 'Reparations' drag show, opted to part ways with the outdoor music event scheduled for June 28 shortly after Oakland native Kehlani decided to drop off the lineup as SoSF's headliner last week. 'SoSF made a statement regarding Kehlani's stance and language being pro-Palestine, which resulted in a wave of comments asking them to clarify exactly what issues they had with Kehlani's position and language,' Kraft told the Chronicle on Monday, June 9. 'We, along with the majority of our community, stand with the Palestinian people, and felt that message should not be obfuscated.' The Chronicle has reached out to SoSF organizers for comment. The since-deleted statement by SoSF was posted to social media in May shortly after Kehlani faced concert cancellations by Cornell University and Central Park's SummerStage Pride concert over what the Ivy League deemed 'antisemitic, anti-Israel sentiments.' As first reported by the Standard, the statement noted that the festival's team 'fundamentally disagree' with Kehlani's language, and went on to explain they were seeking to 'engage with her team' instead of canceling her San Francisco appearance. A joint statement by Kehlani and the festival was also included in an effort to smooth over any new criticism. 'No person should ever fall casualty of a war they did not choose and do not support,' the statement read. 'This sentiment extends to Jewish people, the same way it extends to Palestinian people, the same way it extends to all people.' In April, Kehlani responded to her Cornell concert cancellation with an Instagram video clarifying that she is 'anti-genocide' and 'anti the actions of the Israeli government.' But she has continued to be criticized for her views. The singer has frequently used her platform to voice her opposition to Israel and Zionism, and included the phrase 'long live the intifada' in the music video for her 2024 song 'Next 2 U.' The phrase translates to 'uprising' or 'resistance' in Arabic, but is also considered by some as a call for violence against Jews. While announcing Kehlani severed ties with the event on Instagram, SoSF organizers revealed that the one-day celebration would no longer be at Pier 80's warehouse. Instead, it's set to take place as a block party across the street at 900 Marin St. That post has since been deleted, though this information is still on the event's website. It is still unclear why Kehlani, who identifies as a lesbian and uses she/they pronouns, withdrew from SoSF. But Kraft said that it did influence his and Nicki Jizz's plans to cancel their appearances. 'We pulled out of SoSF because we felt like our and our community's voices were not being heard or considered and for a Pride event, especially in this moment under the current administration, uplifting queer voices should be of the utmost importance,' Kraft said. 'I just couldn't bring myself to be a part of an event which started to feel more and more exploitative of pink dollars during such a crucial time.' 'This was an easy decision to make to stand up for what's right,' Nicki Jizz added. Looking ahead, Kraft and Nicki Jizz are determined to pull together their own Pride weekend event. 'We would love to be able to provide an alternative space where people feel more comfortable and excited to attend, and know that their money is not going to a cause or entity that is actively in opposition to their own views,' Kraft said. 'It is super last minute to attempt to do something, but we are trying our best.' Both Kraft and Nicki Jizz noted that the SoSF organizers they have worked with throughout the process have been 'understanding' and 'supportive.' But Kraft pointed out 'it feels like mixed messaging,' as the way in which organizers have continued to promote the event doesn't align with their behavior behind the scenes. One example he cited is that when SoSF shared its new flyer, sans Kehlani, they made no mention of his or Nicki Jizz's departure. 'To me that speaks volumes,' Kraft said. 'They were only using us for our local audience reach and did not value us as contributors to the event.'
