Candace Cameron Bure has nothing but pride for her Full House roots!
On Friday, the 47-year-old actress shared a throwback picture of her wearing a wedding dress, which she later wore on the beloved sitcom's sequel series, Fuller House. In the post, Bure celebrated 36 years since taking on the iconic role of D.J. Tanner.
"That Friday feeling 🙌🏼— flashback to finding the DJ wedding dress ✨," she captioned the Instagram pic, which showcased her throwing her arms up in delight and smiling. "Today also marks 36 years since becoming DJ Tanner."
"What a ride," she added. "So blessed!"
As fans may recall, D.J. married her high school sweetheart Steve Hale (portrayed by Scott Weinger) during a memorable triple wedding in the Fuller House series finale.
Prior to Steve, D.J. was married to firefighter Tommy Fuller Sr. (Dan Thiel), who later died on duty. They shared three sons: Jackson (Michael Campion), Max (Elias Harger) and Tommy Jr. (played by twins Dashiell and Fox Messitt).
Full House ran on ABC from Sept. 1987 to May 1995, spanning for a total of eight seasons. Aside from Bure and Weinger, it also starred John Stamos, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Lori Loughlin and Andrea Barber.
Fuller House, a sequel following an adult D.J. as a widowed mother, premiered on Netflix in February 2016. The series ran for five seasons, concluding in June 2020. Numerous original cast members reprised their roles, and new actors also came in to play the roles of D.J. and Kimmy (Barber)'s kids as well as D.J., Stephanie (Sweetin) and Kimmy's love interests.
At '90s Con in Tampa last weekend, Bure reunited with her Full House costars Barber, Coulier and Sweetin, as well as series creator Jeff Franklin. Ahead of the event, she shared several sweet throwback photos of her and Weinger, 47, on Instagram.
“90s Con tickets are almost sold out!!...” the actress wrote in the Instagram caption. “But if you grab a ticket, you’ll be sending these two there #90scon #djandsteveforever @thats4ent.”

The perp walk for The Real Housewives
The Real Housewives Bravo franchise has been a gold mine for Andy Cohen, faithful viewers, and the justice system. It seems like every few years, a "Real Housewife"gets arrested and goes to jail. First, we have Teresa Guidice from the Real Housewives Of New Jersey. She did her time and is now "rehabilitated.
Now, earlier this year, Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jen Shah turned out to be more than a housewife, and the fourth season of this iHeartPodcast uncovers the story of Jen Shah, the con artist. Shah rose to fame as an original cast member on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” but in January 2023, her reign was brought to an abrupt end when she was sentenced to six and a half years in federal prison.
Queen of the Con: "The UnReal Housewife,” hosted by Johnathan Walton, a former Emmy-winning TV reporter and reality TV producer, dives deep into Shah’s backstory, rise to fame and the spiral of decisions and events that ultimately led to her arrest and conviction.
Tune into the newest season every Thursday.
There is a lot of potential here. After all, according to People Magazine, 15 Real Housewives have been arrested. Don't these people need their own cell block?

Maren Morris Apologizes for Country Music’s Treatment of LGBTQ+ Community on RuPaul’s Drag Race
Country singer Maren Morris made a heartfelt apology to the contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 during her appearance as a guest judge on Friday’s episode.
Morris shared a moving moment with the queens in an Untucked clip, where she expressed regret for the way the country music industry has treated the LGBTQ+ community in the past.
The Grammy winner was joined on the panel by LGBTQ+ activist Ts Madison, who also served as a guest judge. The episode featured a country-themed challenge, and Morris, who has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, used the opportunity to address the issues of representation and acceptance within the country music scene.
“Coming from country music and its relationship with LGBTQ+ members, I just want to say I’m sorry,” Morris stated. “I love you guys for making me feel like a brave voice in country music. So I just thank you guys so much for inspiring me.”
“I’m gonna cry,” she continued.
The queens were visibly moved by Morris’ apology and thanked her for using her platform to bring attention to the issue. The clip has since gone viral on social media, with many praising Morris for her honesty and willingness to address the issue head-on.
“Just you being here shows you’re an ally,” Mistress Isabelle Brooks stated to the visibly emotional country crooner.
Spice said in a confessional, “I love hearing Maren share her story because a lot of times with country artists, they can’t really express their more progressive ideals. Just her being here shows she’s down to roll with the LGBT.”

LGBTQ+ Support
Morris has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community for a long time, and she has repeatedly used her platform to speak out against discrimination and promote acceptance and love.
Last year, the icon clashed with Jason Aldean’s conservative social media influencer wife, Brittany Aldean, after the latter expressed transphobic remarks.
Morris famously slammed Aldean as “Insurrection Barbie” and a “scumbag human,” which prompted conservative TV host Tucker Carlson to call her a “lunatic” and “fake country music singer.”
In response, Morris released new merchandise that read “lunatic country music person” and announced that proceeds would be split between Trans Lifeline and GLAAD’s Transgender Media Program.
This move not only showed her support for the LGBTQ+ community but also her willingness to stand up against hate and discrimination, and use her platform to make a difference.
Morris also recently hit back against Candace Cameron Bure’s comments about keeping traditional marriages at the core of the faith-based Great American Family network.
Referencing Bure’s Full House character DJ Tanner, she wrote to “make DJ gay again” on Instagram, which was a clear indication of her support for the LGBTQ+ community and her desire for more representation in media.
In conclusion, Maren has been a true ally to the LGBTQ+ community and has used her platform to promote acceptance and love.
Her apology on RuPaul’s Drag Race and her actions in the past, such as her response to Aldean’s transphobic remarks and Bure’s comments, show that she is committed to making a positive impact and fighting for the rights of the marginalized communities.
