John Stamos Asked Another Olsen to Join Fuller House
Full House is returning next month with a new series called Fuller House, but the Olsens won't be reprising their role as Michelle Tanner. Show producer John Stamos has revealed why that's the case, confirming they also offered the part to the twins' younger sister, Elizabeth.
In an interview with Howard Stern (via People), Stamos said he asked Mary-Kate Olsen about the role, but the twins weren't interested. "I talked to Mary-Kate and I explained kind of what the show was going to be, and told them I would love them to be on there and they decided not to, which I respect."
The Show that Ended in 2015 That You’ll Miss the Most
Last week we invited you all to take a poll about which TV show that ended in 2015 you were most upset about. The one that may not have gotten proper closure. Or, even, the one that did but you still wanted more of.
Well, the results are in and Hannibal took the top spot, in a very definitive manner. If you go down the list you'll see beloved shows like Parks and Recreation, Community, Justified, and the like; all of which were great series but got to live way longer than Hannibal's three seasons. And all of which knew their end was coming and prepared accordingly. Some would say that Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller saw the cancelation writing on the wall and gave us an ending that could stand as either a cliffhanger OR a finish, but it's clear that Hannibal fans still desperately want more.

Sylvester Stallone Officially Retires From Rambo Role
Sylvester Stallone is hanging up his headband and retiring from the role of John Rambo.
Speaking with Variety, Stallone said that it's time to move on from the iconic role and film series. "The heart’s willing, but the body says, ‘Stay home!' It’s like fighters that go back for one last round and get clobbered. Leave it to someone else."
So while Stallone has previously discussed a fifth film, supposedly titled Last Blood: Rambo, the 69-year-old actor has apparently had a change of heart. Noting he's content with how the fourth movie left things for Rambo, Stallone added: "There’s nothing left. When they asked me to do another ‘Rambo,’ I said, ‘If I can’t do better than I did last time, and I can’t, then why?'"
Jill Valentine Actress Cosplays As Jill Valentine
When it comes to really nailing the look of any character, the devil is in the details. Julia Voth, the actress behind Resident Evil's Jill Valentine, has taken cosplay accuracy to a whole new level.
Voth told us cosplaying as Jill is the number one request she gets from fans. "I think people have always felt connected to her, she's iconic, and there's a reason that after so many years she and the game live on," she said.
In fact, it was a fan who planted the idea in Voth's mind to recreate the character as cosplay. While at an IGN fan convention in Bahrain, Voth said she was leaving to go back to her hotel when a fan she'd met earlier "rushed back to give me a custom made S.T.A.R.S beret." Voth was touched by the gift and posted a picture on her Instagram. From that photo, Voth said "the response was overwhelming."
Stallone Reveals the Idea for Creed Sequel
Sylvester Stallone has let slip some possible angles for Creed 2.
Speaking to Variety, Stallone teased "actually seeing Rocky and Apollo together," mentioning that director Ryan Coogler has floated the idea of returning to the past where the elder characters could face off once more.
Coogler, who might be busy as the latest in a string of possible directors for Marvel's upcoming Black Panther, is also considering a sequel that would pit Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed against a "ferocious, big Russian," according to Stallone. "You can start to meld my experiences and then you start to bring different cultures into it. And you can see what’s happening with the Russians today in America," he added.
