John Stamos is no longer working on a remake of Full House, E! Online reports. Without the participation of Mary-Kate or Ashley Olsen, Stamos couldn’t generate enough interest to get the deal off the ground.

“We couldn’t make the deal,” a source, who was working on the project, told E!. “It’s completely dead right now.”

In all honesty, I’m not that disappointed. It would have been really fun to watch, but how could the project been brought together cohesively?

Bob Saget is busy doing comedy and narrating How I Met Your Mother, Lori Loughlin is working on 90210, and the Olsens had no interest in participating; they’re becoming legitimate superstars in the fashion world and MK is gaining credibility in the acting one. I think participating in this remake would have negatively affected both these parts of their career.

People sat down and chatted with Bob Saget about his grown-up television daughters–and how he feels about their current boyfriends! Thankfully, Bob didn’t have a problem with either Mary-Kate’s main man Nate Lowman or Ashley’s squeeze Justin Bartha.

“I approve of anyone that makes my friends happy, and they’re my friends,” Bob told the magazine. “I am protective of the people I love.”

I think the fact that People even asked is weird. Sure, Bob and the girls have a close relationship, but he was never a true parental figure. But it’s nice he approves of their boyfriends and wishes them only happiness.

The Huffington Post recently interviewed Bob Saget about his upcoming roast on Comedy Central and about his relationship with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It’s a really interesting interview–he’s sick about constantly being asked about MK and Ashley, he always valued their opinions and treated them as adults and he really wants to see John Stamos in the White House.

You can read the interview for yourself here. I think what he says about MK and Ashley on Full House speaks a lot about how and why MK and Ashley are the savvy business-people they are–and why they seem so much more grown-up and unfazed by fame than a lot of young Hollywood.

Earlier this week, Comedy Central aired Bob Saget’s “Roast” wherein a comedian is shaken up and “roasted” as much as possible. It’s often hosted by a celebrity or close friend and John Stamos was the host of Bob’s.

Since these roasts tend to get very, very dirty, it’s unsurprising that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were brought up quickly and brought up often during the show.

Bob knew things were going to get dirty and he’s often mentioned MK and Ashley in his comedy routines before. However, he told the NY Post that the roast–which airs August 18–will have to be “edited gingerly.”

“Anybody who talks about my TV kids - that upsets me the most,” Bob said. “I am very protective. I love them very, very much.”

John agreed that the comics crossed a few lines, but didn’t know how MK and Ashley would take it.

“I truthfully don’t know where their sense of humor lies these days,” he said. “I thought some of [the roast] was a little over the top.”

I’m sure that MK and Ashley understand the nature of comedy–and the nature of a “roast”–and as long as it’s edited respectfully, I’m sure it will be fine.

Will you watch the roast? Or are any jokes about Mary-Kate and Ashley when they were underage inappropriate subjects?

OK! Magazine caught Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen dining with Full House alums John Stamos and Bob Saget at the Bowery Hotel in NYC last night.

Everyone showed up around 11:30, and Ashley immediately announced she was starving!

“They were having a blast!” the source told the magazine.

“Ashley was sucking down a plate of Spaghetti Bolognese and laughing like a 60 year-old man!”

The source also says that Bob Saget has everyone cracking up all night long.

The girls have been going back and forth between LA and NYC quite a bit lately!

I love these pictures! Mary-Kate and Ashley both look so happy in them! Bob Saget is currently in the Broadway Musical “The Drowsy Chaperone playing the role “Man in Chair.”

Ashley went and saw him preform on Friday night and Mary-Kate went and saw him on Sunday!

Ashley Olsen was spotted having dinner at NYC’s The Spotted Pig. Bob Saget had dinner there on October 29 too, but according to TMZ they left

within moments of each other, and though calling it a coincidence is doubtful, Olsen looked completely confused when our photog said Saget was inside.

Ashley also tried getting into the wrong car … so confusion seemed to have been an overall
