Hard-hitting news-magazine Access Hollywood sent out a media alert today in order to notify the press, and therefore the world, of the show’s big-time exclusive. It seems that the usually Salinger-esque John Stamos agreed to an interview that will air tonight. For the first time, Stamos answers the two questions over which we’ve all lost sleep: How did the greatest love this world had ever seen fail? And what does Uncle Jesse think about poor MK Olsen’s recent trip to rehab due to her never gaining a pound since her halcyon days as half of baby Michelle Tanner?
Certainly, in order to keep-up the suspense, the press release offers only glimpses at Stamos gripping and emotional response. He claims he and his ex-wife Rebecca Romijn-Stamos are having a hard time being separated, but apparently, “we just needed some time apart.” I think the rest of us can understand that feeling. At least, it’s all very amicable and emotional: “We talked yesterday and we were both crying on the phone.”
As for Mary-Kate, Stamos lends some particular insight that in no way diminishes the seriousness of eating disorders or those who have them: “I just wish her well and I know Ashley is there with her and I think she is going to be just fine. If that is the worst thing that can happen to them, they are still ahead of the game.” I suppose when 18-year-old twins can afford large neighboring West Village lofts, a little thing like anorexia really isn’t that big a deal.
