‘Full House' stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber recount their ‘awkward' Ryan Gosling selfie fail
How rude!
'Full House' stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber have revealed that they once tried, and failed, to snag a selfie with Ryan Gosling during a charity event in June 2017.
The pair recalled the 'awkward' encounter on Tuesday's episode of their 'How Rude, Tanneritos!' podcast while discussing Dolly Parton and other celebrities they are 'obsessed' with.

'Remember I asked for a selfie, or I tried to get to him for a picture at the scleroderma benefit a million years ago?' Barber, who played next-door neighbor Kimmy Gibbler on 'Full House,' said. 'For you. I did this for you. And I got stopped by security!'

'Well, we knew each other,' Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner on the beloved sitcom, added. 'We met as kids and had stayed in contact.'
Sweetin, 43, and Gosling, 44, appeared on the Disney show 'The All-New Mickey Mouse Club' together in 1989.

'So I was like, 'Oh, we'll go get a picture,'' the Stephanie Tanner actress continued. 'But there was no way to do it low-pro, and he had, like, a bazillion security there.'
Gosling was sitting with Tahj Mowry, who played the Tanner family's friend Teddy on 'Full House,' so Sweetin and Barber used that as their excuse to approach the 'Barbie' star for a selfie.
'He was sitting by Teddy,' Sweetin continued. 'So we went to go say 'hi' to Teddy, and then it just got awkward.'

'So awkward!' Barber, 48, added regarding their failed selfie attempt with Gosling.
'But I made it more awkward when I peeled out,' Sweetin continued. 'I leave you guys – I'm like, 'Bye!' And I make a left because I'm like, 'Oh my God. This is just – I don't even know what's happening. I need to get out of this uncomfortable situation.''
'So I walked to the left only to realize – there is no exit there, and I have to go then walk back by – like an idiot – and find the exit!' she concluded. 'I was like, 'God, I can't even make a smooth exit.''

Sweetin and Barber starred in 'Full House' for all eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. They reprised their roles as Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler for the show's Netflix spinoff, 'Fuller House,' from 2016 to 2020, along with Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos (Uncle Jesse), Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) and Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky), who did not join them for the final season due to her involvement in the college admissions scandal.
The duo launched their 'How Rude, Tanneritos!' rewatch podcast in July 2023, and the episode this week came just days after Coulier, 65, appeared on the podcast to announce that he became a grandfather on the same day that he learned he was cancer-free.

'I got the good news the day the baby was born,' he said. 'So I heard the news and I was so excited, and then Luc called us and he said, 'Hey, the baby just was born.' And so, I mean, it was an amazing day.'

'It was really amazing, you know?' Coulier added. 'So we were like, 'Oh, this is just too much!''
Coulier was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in October 2024. He then announced that he was officially cancer-free on April 1.

Review: ‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is Joffrey Ballet's wacky and wonderful season closer
The Joffrey Ballet's season rarely extends this far into summer, but it's safe to say 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' was worth the wait. This beast of a ballet by the Tony Award-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon had its North American premiere at the Lyric Opera House on Thursday. If, like for me, Lewis Carroll's 1865 fairy tale about a girl who stumbles into Wonderland is a core memory, all those beloved characters are there, with a splendidly cogent (and at times delightfully grotesque) libretto. It's more Tim Burton than Disney, but you'll recognize moments no matter your preferred version (including my personal favorite, the 1985 TV movie musical starring Jayne Meadows and Carol Channing). Following a drowse-inducing garden party at her Victorian Oxford estate, Alice (magnificently danced Thursday by Amanda Assucena) awakens to find an anxiously tardy White Rabbit (Stefan Gonçalvez). She of course must follow him, kicking off a series of Don Quixote-style adventures with wild, wacky and terrifying characters. Letting her curiosity guide her, she encounters a tea party hosted by a tap-dancing Mad Hatter (Edson Barbosa) and a slithering Cheshire Cat (whose dismantlement is made possible by a corps of dancer-puppeteers). Indeed, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' will resonate strongly with those who adore 'Alice' — so much so that Joffrey extended the production to three weekends before it opened. In any case, exploiting its usefulness as a ballet was far overdue. There is much within Wheeldon's zany world for everyone to admire. Very small children may not appreciate some scarier moments, most notably a scene at the Duchess' house, in which viewers quite literally see how the sausage gets made. The brutish Duchess (Dylan Gutierrez) and her ax-wielding cook (Lucia Connolly) contribute some of the night's most, um, salient imagery. The pair of them (along with henchmen Valentino Moneglia Zamora, Hyuma Kiyosawa and Xavier Núñez) are terrifically terrifying. 'Alice's' third and final act is devoted almost wholly to the search for who stole the Queen of Hearts' tart. It begins with a game of croquet, played with bendy flamingoes on pointe as the mallets, striking adorable summersaulting hedgehogs. This not-so-regal realm, ruled by prima ballerina Victoria Jaiani as supreme leader, embarks on a tribunal when it's uncovered that the Knave of Hearts — a two-eyed Jack danced by the princely Alberto Velazquez — is most likely the offender and about to lose his head. Hilarity ensues. As hard as it will be to peel your eyes from Jaiani, every once in a while, be sure to glimpse her ridiculous King (marking David Gombert's glorious return to the Joffrey stage 15 years after retirement). There are tender moments, too, particularly in a satisfyingly sweet duet for Assucena and Velazquez as Alice tries to accept the blame in tart-gate. She eventually prevails, if only by waking up back in Oxford. If there's a lesson to be learned from 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' it might be that taking the blame for your boyfriend's impropriety could turn out poorly. That, and vindictive, power-hungry leaders whose kingdoms are built on a literal house of cards are not likely to succeed. Cleverly, 'Alice' borrows hallmarks from the ballets of Carroll's time, winking at canonical works like 'The Nutcracker,' 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Cinderella.' There's a waltz of flowers; a for our protagonist and her scrappy love interest; a hilariously satirized 'Rose Adagio' for the Queen of Hearts and four suitors (in this case, hearts and clubs); and a shirtless, hookah-smoking sultan-turned-Caterpillar (Jonathan Dole) performing a seductive take on 'the worm' with a quartet of scantily clad temple women. I'm pretty sure we didn't need that last one when 'Alice' premiered in London in 2011, and I'm certain we don't need it in 2025 — though I'll take the cameo of academy kids as sparkly pointe-shoed caterpillar legs all day, every day, plus Sunday. To be clear, such tongue-and-cheek references now to 19th century ballet are generally welcome and especially fun for those who see the parallels — perhaps even more so to those familiar with Wheeldon's catalog, too, which includes Joffrey's nearly decade-old 'Nutcracker.' In some instances, that ballet and this one parrot one another; Wheeldon went so far as to use some of the exact same ideas in his 'Nutcracker's' transformation and snow scenes, further tugging the plot parallels to these two coming-of-age stories set in magical fairy lands that may or may not have all been a dream. But 'Alice's' superpowers, all due respect to 'The Nutcracker,' are its magnificently evocative original score (by Joby Talbot) and Wheeldon's pinpointed attention to detail in every character, masterfully embraced by the Joffrey's excellent dancers, whose full-throttled performances and comedic prowess grab you and hold on for the entirety of this (very, very long) spectacle. Another thing: Wheeldon's imagination could only run this wild in a superbly-crafted Wonderland, made possible through the ingenuity of scenic and costume designer Bob Crowley, lighting designer Natasha Katz, projectionists Jon Driscoll and Gemma Carrington and puppeteer Toby Olié — seamlessly executed by a Joffrey team that, frankly, has never attempted something this big. 'Alice' was originally created for London's Royal Ballet, a company of 100 dancers and nearly 10 times Joffrey's budget. Until Thursday, it had not been performed this side of the Atlantic. Pulling it off was going to be a challenge. But they did. And Wonderland turned out to be a risk that will pay off in Joffrey Ballet presents 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' (4 stars) When: Through June 22 Where: Lyric Opera House, 20 N.

Lucasfilm "Likely" Replacing Kathleen Kennedy at Lucasfilm with Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck — GeekTyrant
It looks like big changes are brewing at Lucasfilm. According to a new reprot from The Hollywood Reporter about the shifting power dynamics at Disney, Kathleen Kennedy's time as president of Lucasfilm is winding down, and the studio may be headed in a new, but familiar, direction. The names being floated to 'likely' replace her are Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck. Filoni currently serves as Chief Creative Officer at Lucasfilm and is also producing several Star Wars TV and film projects. The report notes: 'The current thinking is a scenario where chief creative officer Dave Filoni and production head Carrie Beck — both Lucasfilm vets — take co-head roles. Even as an arm of Disney, Lucasfilm remains, in many ways, a family business, and as a George Lucas protégé Filoni long has been considered a golden boy.' Filoni's rise is no surprise to anyone who's followed Star Wars since The Clone Wars . His creative connection to George Lucas and the way he's carried forward that legacy with Rebels , The Mandalorian , and Ahsoka has earned him a loyal following, and he's their guy. However, not everyone in the room is sold. The same THR piece offers this commentary: 'But the knock against him is that he might be too steeped in Star Wars lore and risks steering a show into dense mythology that loses a broader audience. 'He's not the Andor guy, he's the Ahsoka guy,' says one Disney insider. 'Beck, who joined the company in 2012, knows the ins and outs, but neither she nor Filoni has much film experience, which could be mitigated by Kennedy's continued presence as a producer on certain Star Wars projects, ensuring quality control in the short term.' That's a fair point. While Filoni thrives in the animated and live-action series space, Star Wars hasn't exactly had a smooth run on the big screen lately, and neither he nor Beck has much experience steering theatrical releases. That's where Kennedy may linger for a while longer, potentially sticking around to produce key projects and maintain consistency as they transition. Still, fans online are already drawing battle lines. For many, the idea of a 'Lucas guy' who lives and breathes Star Wars mythology is exactly what Lucasfilm needs. After all, the most frustrating part of the franchise's modern era has often been its uneven grasp of what makes Star Wars feel like Star Wars . And yet… Andor exists. It's a perfect example of what Star Wars can be when it steps outside of the mythological comfort zone, when it slows down, digs into real human struggles, and reimagines the galaxy far, far away with grounded stakes. So here we are, at a crossroads. Lucasfilm seems like they are preparing to pass the lightsaber to two trusted veterans who've built their reputations inside the galaxy. The next era of Star Wars is about to begin, and even if Filoni isn't taking the lead, as continuing CCO, the franchise is going to have Filoni's fingerprints all over it.
