Month: January 2021

Candace Cameron Bure took to social media on Saturday and shared a family photo to celebrate the new year and offer some encouraging words of hope for 2021. And now the Full House star finds herself taking her 'haters' to task after some people shared some harsh and 'unkind comments' about the picture of the family of five. 'Wow- I post a family photo and you all find everything you don't like about it or can make fun of. Do better than that. Please,' the actress, 44, wrote in response on Instagram less than 24 hours later.

Alex Trebek was dedicated to his job up to the very last moment. The star served as the host of "Jeopardy!" for more than 30 years but he passed away from pancreatic cancer in November at the age of 80. As is typical for television, Trebek filmed several episodes of "Jeopardy!" in advance, leaving the program with content featuring Trebek at the helm for a time after his death. The show's final episodes featuring Trebek will air this week before champ Ken Jennings takes over as interim host. 'JEOPARDY!' EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ALEX TREBEK AS A 'WARRIOR' AHEAD OF FINAL EPISODES AIRING Ahead of the final week of Trebek-starring episodes, "Jeopardy!" executive producer Mike Richards appeared on the "Today" show and offered praise for his late colleague.

Ken Jennings,  who holds the all-time record for most consecutive "Jeopardy!" games won, has stumbled from one Twitter controversy into another after coming to the defense of a man that the internet dubbed "Bean Dad."  Jennings was recently announced as the first guest host of "Jeopardy!" following longtime host Alex Trebek's death, but following that announcement in November,  insensitive tweets by Jennings resurfaced.  One tweet from 2014 read, "Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair," while another in 2015 included a joke about a terminally ill "Star Wars" fan who got to watch "The Force Awakens" before he died. Jennings had previously refused to delete these tweets, saying that they "could lead to smart replies and even advocacy. Deleting them felt like whitewashing a mista...

Candace Cameron Bure's social media break is officially over, but it appears she's already having some second thoughts following "so many unkind comments." The "Fuller House" star, 44, took to Facebook Saturday to call for more "respect" on social media after her family's holiday photo faced harsh criticism on Instagram. "I wished blessings upon everyone as I shared it in the spirit of a happy new year, yet so many of you came back with jokes about our appearance and criticism of what you thought would have been a better photo," Bure wrote. "Shame on you." She continued: "It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 or 90 years old, rude is rude. Be better than that. I’m praying for humanity. Manners and respect.
