For Michael Fishman, the end of The Conners was not about screen time or storylines. It was about gratitude. Two weeks after the finale aired without him, he quietly took to Instagram with a message not of bitterness, but of love for the woman, Roseanne Barr, who helped shape his childhood and his career. Fishman, now 43, grew up on set with Roseanne, playing her youngest son, D.J. Conner, since he was just six years old. Even though both of them were absent from the show’s final goodbye, his tribute was genuine and warm. A defining moment for Michael Fishman as he honors Roseanne Barr             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Michael Fishman (@reelmfishman)   On Mother’s Day, Fishman shared a post: a throwback clip of Roseanne with him and his TV siblings. Under it, he wrote, “Roseanne achieved her goal by creating the most authentic and engaging TV Mom.” His words were honest, direct, and full of warmth. Just a few days earlier, he had posted one of his favorite scenes with her from their early days. It was a moment Roseanne offered him chili, and his young character, D.J., replied with a straight face, “It’s a little bit bland.” The memory made him smile. “This was a defining moment for me as a young actor,” he wrote. But more than that, he said, it showed how much love they shared. Michael Fishman, Roseanne Barr/Instagram “I’m always going to have love for her.” Despite being left out of The Conners finale, Fishman made one thing clear: he is not holding on to resentment. When fans started asking questions, hoping for controversy, he calmly shut it down. “All I’ve ever had was empathy and understanding,” he said in a video. No shade. No shots fired—just peace. The Conners/Instagram Fishman explained that not including D.J. in the final episodes was simply a creative decision. Not personal. Not dramatic. He has chosen to let it go. “I move forward,” he told one fan. As for Roseanne, her son later revealed she had not watched a single episode of the spinoff and did not even know it had ended. Still, for Fishman, that doesn’t erase what she meant to him. “I’m always going to have love for her.” Next up: Marlo Thomas Spotted Publicly For The First Time Since Husband Phil Donahue’s Death The post Michael Fishman Chooses Peace Over Drama After ‘The Conners’ Ends Without Him, Honors Roseanne Barr appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.

Ozempic is the latest craze in Hollywood’s ongoing weight-loss obsession. From TikTok influencers to A-listers walking the red carpet, Ozempic and similar drugs like Mounjaro have become the go-to quick fix. Big names like Elon Musk, Chelsea Handler, and Sharon Osbourne have either used it or admitted to trying it, all in a bid to drop pounds fast. But not everyone is on board. Carnie Wilson, the Grammy-nominated singer known for being open about her health journey, is choosing a different path. In a recent interview, she made it clear that Ozempic is not for her. Carnie Wilson is staying away from Ozempic because it scares her Carnie Wilson /Instagram Carnie has been down the weight-loss road before. She once weighed over 300 pounds and had both gastric bypass and lap band surgeries. That journey helped her shed over 100 pounds. But when it comes to medication like Ozempic, she’s drawing the line. “That scares me,” she said. “I won’t do it. I just had a friend who was hospitalized, so it’s not going to happen for me.” Instead of jumping on the celebrity trend, Carnie is focusing on a slower, more balanced routine. She tries to avoid sugar, eats simple foods like apples, and pays attention to how her body responds to what she eats. “If I eat an apple, I feel better. If I eat sugar, I don’t feel good,” she explained. CARNIE!, host Carnie Wilson, (1995), 1995-96. © Warner Bros.

She’s now using her voice to talk more about mental health, especially during Mental Health Awareness Month.

We have a range of emotions… I just try to stay positive every day.” Carnie Wilson and his father, Brian Wilson/Instagram Mental health has been a lifelong journey for her. She says she started feeling the effects as early as age five and believes it runs in her family, including her father, Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson.

For a few golden years between 1968 and 1972, Tiger Beat magazine was the voice of teen America, and Ann Moses was the one holding the pen. As the magazine’s editor, Moses worked closely with the brightest stars of the time, including Bobby Sherman, whose face graced the cover for months.

Zachary Carlson, a 28-year-old wheelchair user whose grandmother is the legendary Carol Burnett, is living a reality far from Hollywood’s glitz and glamour. Zachary has been abandoned in a shelter even though he’s suffering from a serious health condition. Sadly, Zachary was recently attacked in a shelter where he should have felt safe. He had been trying to stay alive in a rough area of Los Angeles, even with no real help, no stable home, and no support from the family he came from, when this attack happened. Zachary Carlson couldn’t defend himself against the attackers Carlson is the oldest son of Carol’s estranged daughter, who has long battled substance abuse problems — but now claims to have been clean and sober for the past 18 months. According to a close friend of Carlson, his deathward spiral began in 2020 when, aged 23. pic.twitter.com/tFp4d7O8KD — Radar Online (@radar_online) May 9, 2025   Zachary was in a wheelchair and unable to move, when he was attacked in the place that was supposed to be his shelter. He could not fight back. He could not run. He was completely exposed. “He was terrified. There was nothing he could do,” a close source shared. The next day, the shelter tried to move him somewhere else, but the fear had already settled in him. He was not just hurt. He was shaken to the core. A friend stepped in temporarily and got him into a Motel 6 just to give him a breather. On his GoFundMe, Zachary wrote, “I’m honestly terrified of the possibility of having nowhere to go.” The desperation is evident in his words. He just wants to feel safe. Zachary currently suffers from complex regional pain syndrome, partial paralysis, and other illnesses. Carol Burnett/Imagecollect Carol Burnett is not stepping in to save her grandson Zachary is the son of Erin Hamilton, Carol Burnett’s daughter, who has battled addiction for years. When Zachary overdosed at 23, it led to spinal seizures that left him in the hospital for almost a year. After months of therapy, he became partially quadriplegic. Since then, he’s had almost no contact with his grandmother, not even a check-in. Carol Burnett and daughter, Erin Hamilton/Instagram Sources say Carol only spoke to him once, during that hospital stay, and only after his mother begged her to. Since then? Silence. No visit. No call. No help. “This isn’t tough love,” someone close to the family said. “It’s cruel. It’s like they don’t exist to her.” Zachary and his mom have both tried to reach out. They’ve made it clear in every way that he is on his own.

Jamie Lee Curtis is opening up about the unexpected path her acting career took following her breakout role in Halloween. In a recent interview, the actress reflected on her early days in Hollywood and the moments she shared with her mother, Janet Leigh. Although many assumed that Curtis would immediately become famous after Halloween, she revealed it did not happen that way.

Despite being born to Hollywood stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis insists that her effort earned her a place in the industry. She admitted her family name may have paved the way, but her auditions and persistence landed her roles. When she tried out for Halloween, which seemed to be a low-budget horror film at the time, she was just 19 years old and unaware of how much the opportunity would change her life.
