Rob Lowe calls out LA tour guide for confusing him with John Stamos
Rob Lowe calls out LA tour guide for confusing him with John Stamos Show Caption Hide Caption 'Brats' documentary: See Rob Lowe talk Brat Pack with Andrew McCarthy Rob Lowe reflects on how a generation of young actors became known as the Brat Pack in Andrew McCarthy's documentary "Brats." Rob Lowe is giving a Hollywood bus tour guide a less than stellar job review. The "West Wing" alum took to Instagram and posted a video April 15 of a tour guide announcing, "This is John Stamos" as he passed by. In the clip, Lowe walks up to the bus and asks the riders if they know who he is: "OK guys, am I John Stamos? Who am I?" as they loudly responded, "Rob Lowe!" The "Brothers & Sisters" star told the tour guide, "Dude, you gotta get better at your job!" The guide replied that "it's about having fun, you know? I don't expect to run into people," telling Lowe, "Thank you for your cool energy, man." Lowe and Stamos, both 61, rose to fame as actors in a series of buzzy roles in the 1980s and '90s. While Lowe starred in "The Outsiders," "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Wayne's World," Stamos found major success on "General Hospital" and, of course, "Full House." Rob Lowe's son John Owen trolls dad on his 60th birthday with a John Stamos pic Lowe asked his actor son John Owen "Johnny" Lowe, who frequently mocks his famous dad, in the post's caption: "@johnnylowe am I being Punk'd?" "The people have spoken," the younger Lowe, 29, said. Turns out the tour guide may have been in on the joke: Johnny Lowe has long pasted Stamos' head over his dad's face in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts. On a 2023 episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show," "Full House" alum Stamos proved that he's (kind of) a part of the family. The Essentials: John Stamos talks rocking through Beach Boys stage fails, showtime hair, Bob Saget lessons "Johnny, the bit about me being your dad — it's funny and people get a good kick out of it — but it's getting a bit old," Stamos jokingly said during a pre-recorded message that appeared. "I'm tired of explaining that, no, I'm not really his dad, I'm a better looking version. "So, Drew, if it's okay with you, Johnny and I did a 23andMe test and I'd like to read the results live on your show and stop this madness," he said, before having an abrupt change of heart. Here are Rob Lowe's tips for youth: He gets an 'embarrassing amount' of sleep "You know, I don't need to prove anything," he told the father-son duo and Barrymore. "Good luck with the show, guys." Then, he passed the envelope, directing the recipient to "Burn this. Take it. Burn it!"

The Pitt's Noah Wyle Talks PittFest Shooter Reveal, Robby's Ex and Brad Dourif Cameo
Mystery solved… well, sort of: The penultimate episode of The Pitt stopped short of revealing the identity of the PittFest shooter, but cleared troubled teen David of any wrongdoing. Roughly a third of the way through Episode 14, chief medical officer Gloria informed the emergency department that S.W.A.T. found the shooter, already dead, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His identity and his motive remain unknown — but to Dana's point, 'Does it matter?' More from TVLine Has The Pitt's Dr. Robby Reached His Breaking Point? Noah Wyle Unpacks Devastating Last Scene in Episode 13 TVLine's Performer of the Week: Noah Wyle The Last of Us' Bella Ramsey: Isabela Merced's Dina Brings Out Ellie's 'More Wild and More Free' Side in Season 2 - Watch Video That view is shared by Noah Wyle. In Part 2 of our latest conversation, the star and executive producer of the hit Max medical drama tells me that neither the identity nor the motivation of the gunman are relevant, adding: 'That has absolutely nothing to do with the horrific nature of the work that these [doctors and nurses] have to perform in the aftermath of this, so why give it any attention? It's certainly not going to make any difference at this point in any of the people's lives who are in our environment. 'That said, we did enjoy the misdirection of having a lot of people think it was David or Doug Driscoll or… you know, I even read some wilder theories on that. But that was to underscore the storyline that we really wanted to explore with David's character, which is about misunderstanding at every level,' Wyle explains. 'Trying to connect, but missing crucial moments when that connection really needs to be in place. Otherwise, it can trigger suspicion, paranoia, panic, over-involvement, lapse in judgment — all sorts of things happen in the wake of our bias, our misinterpretation and our misunderstanding of David's behavior. 'Were we wrong to intervene? Maybe not,' he says. 'But we were wrong, in this particular case, to assume that it was 1-to-1. I think that's another important lesson to take from this — that while thought crimes are not crimes, they can be cries for help, or needs for attention or analysis, and I think that was an important message to get across.' The episode also introduces a pair of new characters — both of whom share ties to The Pitt's ensemble. First is Sarah Jane Morris (Brothers & Sisters), who plays Robby's ex-girlfriend (and Jake's mother) Janey; in real life, she's married to Ned Brower, who recurs as Nurse Jesse. Second is Brad Dourif — aka Chucky! — who makes a cameo opposite his real-life daughter, Fiona Dourif, and plays Dr. Cassie McKay's father. 'I'm a huge Brad Dourif fan,' Wyle tells me. 'I've been a fan of Brad's — not just from [One Flew Over the] Cuckoo's Nest, but Wise Blood and Mississippi Burning. I mean, I've been a fan of his forever.' As for Morris, and the decision to bring Janey into the fold now, Wyle explains: 'It just seemed appropriate to bring in somebody who has zero frame of reference for Robby in this environment. We haven't met somebody like that yet — somebody who knows his tendencies to blame himself and to go into a shame spiral… someone who knows his intentions are pure and honorable, even if a little damaged…. [Robby is] someone who she has affection for, but also was probably hurt by, but [she] has rationalized that [because] at least her son has a good, positive, male role model in his life, and that outweighs whatever disappointment she may feel that the relationship didn't work out.'
