Any Full House fans out there? [Ed: OMG, seriously?? Put your hands down, somebody might SEE you!] Anyways, if you'd prefer remember Bob Saget as the father figure to three daughters, a golden retriever and an out-of-work comedian who lives in the basement, you may wish to avert your eyes/ears.
Another day, and another reason why it sucks being a celebrity.
Think back, for a moment, to the Golden Globes, when Angelina Jolie was slammed by the press (including, the apparently tabloid-friendly NYT) for being less-than-friendly on the red carpet. Now, fast forward to a week or so later, when it surfaces that her disinterest in chatting it up with the press had more to do with her mom dying and less to do with her being a huge bitch.
And now, take a look at what's happening right now.
While all the gossip blogs make snarky comments about Bob Saget ogling the Olsen twins, it turns out Saget was merely unwinding with friends after a long day's work and, oh yeah, reeling from the news that his dad just passed away.
WHILE promoting his new DVD, "Farce of the Penguins," comic Bob Saget learned his father, Ben Saget, had passed away. He got the tragic news after taping Conan O'Brien's show Tuesday afternoon. Saget - the writer, director, and voice of the penguin Carl - finished his day's work with a promo party at Tenjune, which Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended. Sagat's rep told Page Six he flew back to L.A. yesterday morning to be with his mom.
Oops.
Wonder if there are any red-faced bloggers out there feeling a wee bit squeamish about those early morning "pedophile" jokes?
