'Fuller House' releases first footage of cast

The preview shows the cast assemble to help D.J. Tanner (Bure) move her sons and belongings back into dad Danny Tanner's (Bob Saget) house. The footage is the first to feature the returning Full House stars and new actors.

Jodie Sweetin appears as D.J.'s sister Stephanie Tanner, with Andrea Barber as D.J.'s best friend Kimmy Gibbler, John Stamos as Uncle Jesse, Lori Loughlin as Aunt Becky and Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey.

 

Newcomer Michael Campion plays D.J.'s eldest son Jackson, with Elias Harger as middle son Max and Dashiel and Fox Messitt as youngest son Tommy. Soni Nicole Bringas plays Kimmy's teenage daughter, Ramona.

Fuller House is a sequel series to Full House and will premiere Feb. 26 on Netflix. The show follows an adult and widowed D.J. as she raises her sons with the help of Stephanie, Kimmy and her friends and family.

"She's a bit like Danny Tanner as a dad," Bure told Entertainment Tonight of D.J.'s parenting style. "She's very organized and orderly. She's a single mom, so she kind of has to be with three kids, and she's the mom in the group in every way, between Kimmy and Stephanie."

"She's just a little more straight-laced than everyone else is, and the other girls kind of loosen her up along the way," she added. "I can honestly say that every scene with Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin and the legacy cast ... they are forever just a huge part of my heart and just so much fun."

Mark Salling

The fall of Mark Salling, ‘Glee’ star and Christian songster, arrested on child porn charges

 

It should be said right away: Mark Salling, the former “Glee” cast member arrested on child pornography charges in Los Angeles on Tuesday, has not been convicted of a crime. That, however, did not prevent legions on social media from dissecting the 33-year-old’s career as though it were little more than a fresh corpse just arrived at the morgue.

 

“So sick of celebrities abusing their position as people who can influence the younger generation,” one Twitter user wrote. “The news about Mark Salling is sickening.” Another: “Disappointed to hear about the allegations against Mark Salling. I hope those who were victimized find closure.”

New Details Emerge About 'Affluenza' Teen's Time in Mexico

New details are emerging about the time Ethan Couch -- a teen who killed four people in a car crash in 2013 -- spent in Mexico on the run with his mother while U.S. authorities searched for him.

Couch and his mother, Tonya, stayed at an apartment in Puerto Vallarta, a resort town frequented by American tourists, and visited a restaurant and butcher shop nearby, locals told ABC News. Law enforcement sources confirm to ABC News that the Couches managed to elude authorities for a time by using at least one throw away phone.

In 2013 Couch pled guilty to four counts of intoxication manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years probation instead of jail time. In the sentencing phase his defense team had argued that he suffered from “affluenza,” meaning, they explained, that his affluent upbringing and his mother and father’s profoundly dysfunctional parenting led to his irresponsible behavior.

Who Is Google’s Most Searched Celebrity of the Year?

 

 This morning, Google released its annual Year in Search list and, predictably, the top trending people of 2015 were also subjects of the year’s biggest controversies. Rachel Dolezal went from being an unknown woman in Spokane, Washington, to the focus of several national debates on cultural appropriation. Newsman Brian Williams became the story after several accounts of his questionable reporting history were revealed. Charlie Sheen, who had kept a low profile these last few years, had his personal life subjected to intense scrutiny after he revealed his HIV-positive status on the Today show. Donald Trump’s increasingly disturbing presidential campaign also secured him a spot on the list.

Of course, the Kardashians, America’s most famous family, continued their dominance over our national headlines—so much so that earlier this year, a British man even created an app that blocks all mentions of them from your news feed. This year, however, it wasn’t Kim who broke the Internet: The introduction of Caitlyn Jenner in June became the focus of our intense fascination, while Lamar Odom sadly took the top spot because of his continued battle with addiction.
