John Stamos’ memoir is called “If You Would Have Told Me”, and it includes a pretty serious revelation. John says he was molested by a babysitter when he was 10 or 11. The perpetrator was a woman, who was 18 or 19. His response at the time was to pretend to be asleep. John ALMOST told the story in 2018, when he was accepting an award for his advocacy on behalf of abused children. But he decided, “No, tonight is not about me. It’s about the kids. I’m going to pack it away again until the right moment.” Also in the book, John talks about how much he HATED Rebecca Romijn after they split. He says he held onto that hatred “way too long,” and he eventually came to realize he was also at fault.
We recently heard that Tom Cruise has a clause in his movie contracts stating that his likeness can’t be used on merchandise. Well, here are some weird and / or interesting things other celebs have put in theirs:

4. Mark Wahlberg had a clause in his contract for “Silver Linings Playbook” that guaranteed him $900,000 if Anne Hathaway dropped out of the movie. She did . . . but he quit FIRST, so he didn’t get the payout.

If you want to contact Dolly Parton, well, that’s probably impossible. But if you’re one of her friends, the best way to do it is by fax. That’s what Reba McEntire said on a recent “Watch What Happens Live”. If Reba said it then it must be true, right? Well, Dolly was on “The View” yesterday, and they wanted her to confirm it, so she did. “I don’t want to get into that world. I’m surrounded by enough people. I never did get into getting involved in all that because it would take up too much of my time if I talked to everybody who’s trying to get in touch with me. So I just say, ‘Fax me. Fax me or call me and I’ll call you back.'”
Is Riley Green still one of country music’s most eligible bachelors? Somebody put him on the spot with that exact question, and he was gracious enough to answer. “I’m ineligible in the sense of how busy I am on the road. That’s why it’s tough for me to settle down. You’re spending a couple hundred days on the road, and I don’t know many girls are okay with that. I did get a dog. That’s about the best I can do.”
