'It was really amazing, you know?' the 'Fuller House' star added. 'So we were like, 'Oh, this is just too much!''
Coulier's 34-year-old son, Luc, welcomed his baby son, Chance Lee, with his wife, Alex, on March 27, per People. The comedian described his grandson as a 'healthy' and 'great little baby' whom he plans to see later this month.

'He's 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and we will see him, I think, in 12 days,' Coulier said over the weekend. 'Because we're in Michigan and they're out in Sacramento.'
But the stand-up comic also said that he may have 'killed the moment' by sharing a bad joke in the Coulier family group chat following the news of his grandson's birth.
'I said to my son – everybody was teary-eyed and everything and texting when the baby was born – and I said, 'I cannot wait to see that kid's expression on his face after he pulls my finger for the first time,'' he recalled. 'And there was just like, no one responded. It's like, 'Okay. I killed the moment.''

Luckily, his son texted him back shortly after to show some appreciation for the joke.
'I just got that,' Luc responded.
March 27 was also an 'amazing' day for Coulier because it was the same day he learned that he was 100% cancer-free following a short battle with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The former 'America's Funniest People' host was diagnosed with cancer in October 2024, and he announced that he was cancer-free on April 1.
'I'd like to give a heartfelt thank you to family, friends and fans for their continued prayers, love and support throughout my emotional roller coaster ride through cancer,' Coulier said earlier this month.
'I will continue to encourage others to check in with doctors to get early screenings like breast exams, colonoscopies and prostate exams,' he added.

Although his former 'Full House' and 'Fuller House' co-stars provided much-needed support amid his five-month cancer battle, Coulier admitted that he was 'prepared to die' after his fifth round of chemotherapy.
'After chemo, he was like, 'I don't know if I could do this again,'' Coulier's wife, Melissa Bring, 41, said shortly before the comedian was declared cancer-free. 'He was like, 'I'm prepared either way. If I die, I die. And if I can stay here, great. I want to.''
'Those conversations were obviously so tough,' she added at the time.

Kathy Griffin Reveals Results Of Third Facelift
Kathy Griffin is known for being honest, especially when it comes to subjects other celebrities might want to keep private. Griffin recently shared with fans that she underwent another facelift in a video aptly titled 'New Face, Same Kathy!' that she released earlier this month. 'It's my third,' the comedian shared. 'I know, that's so vain. I'm so vain for no reason.' 'No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face,' she quipped. 'You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want. I don't want you to come to care what I look like.' Griffin then went into detail about the procedure, joking that 'as far as I know, they just yank the crap out of your skin and your neck.' She also spoke about the process of choosing her surgeon, Dr. Ben Talei, and said that he also did singer Sia 's facelift. 'And the reason I'm saying that is that you can go on YouTube [and find this out],' Griffin said. 'There's a video of her without her backwards wig, 'cause as you know, she's an anonymous giant celebrity, and she even gave him an award, and she had the best before and after pictures I've ever seen.' 'And first of all, it's funny that Sia even got a facelift because you don't ever see her face, but the pictures sold me,' the 64-year-old added. Griffin also got real about the surgical recovery process and made sure followers knew what they were getting into if they decided to follow in her footsteps. 'I'm going to be honest ― it's painful,' she said, mentioning that she had stitches in her eyelids. 'So these bitches that are like, 'It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!' No ― it's painful.' Kathy Griffin/YouTube / Via And while the results might eventually look great, post-op recovery isn't pretty, the actor said. 'You come home ― and maybe you come home with a nurse ― and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie,' she said. 'The first night, there's drains that come out of your chin. I know, it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.' Kathy Griffin/YouTube / Via Many commenters on Griffin's video praised the comedian for her transparency. Patricia Schlein / Getty Images Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Joel McHale have also recently been lauded for sharing details about various cosmetic procedures they've undergone. Luigi Iorio / Getty Images McHale made waves for opening up about his fourth hair transplant on the We Might Be Drunk podcast back in June, and even recommended his doctor. 'I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey,' McHale said. 'But just make sure, 'cause if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't [do it]. You get what you pay for.'

Court documents show legal proceedings were filed against Krein in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Moments after filing, Ashley Biden posted, 'New life, new beginnings means new boundaries.

Details regarding the divorce were not disclosed as filings did not include details of the complaint. Ashley reportedly met Krein through her deceased brother, Beau Biden, and the two started dating in 2010. Two years later, Ashley Biden and the 58-year-old plastic surgeon and ear, nose and throat doctor married at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Delaware, as reported by PEOPLE. Ashley recounted their nuptials at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and discussed her father's final words before the two tied the knot.

Anna Delvey breaks silence after dumped bunnies social media backlash
Anna Delvey is breaking her silence after being accused of dumping multiple rabbits used during a photoshoot in New York City. The "Dancing with the Stars" alum and convicted con artist took to her Instagram Story on Aug. 11 to address now-viral claims that she left two rabbits that were found abandoned in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. The backlash follows Delvey posting a photo carousel with the pair of bunnies and a companion video last week on social media. Delvey explained that a person named Christian Batty, who she described as a "member of the hair team I briefly met" during fashion week last year, had said he "knew someone who could lend us bunnies for a few hours." "I later discovered that, instead of borrowing animals from a legitimate source like (Batty) claimed, he had obtained them via Facebook Marketplace and intended to release them into Prospect Park," Delvey wrote in a lengthy note to fans. "(It was) a plan of which I had no knowledge," Delvey continued. "The idea that someone would compromise the well-being of innocent animals for personal networking opportunities is deeply disturbing to me." In an Aug. 12 statement to USA TODAY, Delvey said that "I'm appalled, and frankly terrified, by the violent threats and hundreds of vile, harassing messages flooding my social media." "I've provided overwhelming proof of my innocence, yet nothing seems to satisfy the performatively outraged masses whose only real aim is to churn hate in my comments and DMs," Delvey added. USA TODAY also reached out to reps for Jasper Egan Soloff, a photographer who worked on the shoot. According to People and The New York Times, Batty released statements on since-deleted social media pages addressing the incident and saying "I felt overwhelmed and made the worst possible choice." 'Dancing With the Stars' Anna Delvey elimination episode received historic fan votes Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin) is the real-life subject of the Netflix series "Inventing Anna" from Shonda Rhimes and served a prison sentence for swindling banks, hotels, and rich friends with a false reputation as a wealthy German heiress. Delvey said on Instagram that she was "appalled by what transpired," adding that "it's not my job to source or return animals" as talent. "But as an animal lover, I can promise I will never work with them again without knowing exactly where they came from and how they're getting home," she added. "I do not eat meat, and I had no involvement in the acquisition, transport or return of these animals. I would never condone these actions." After Delvey posted the photoshoot on social media, vegan influencer Terry Chao said in a post that she noticed that the bunnies from the photo were the same ones she had helped with two neighbors after she saw that there were lost bunnies found in the New York City park in a local Facebook group. "Animals are not props, they are beautiful, living things that we need to honor and cherish," Chao added.
