Yes, Jaleel "Urkel" White is all grown up now and looks nothing like his four-eyed goofball character from "Family Matters." He's also a much better dancer then you might have remembered. Like the other Killer videos, this one opens with the title in squiggly "Fame" script and zeroes in on an idyllic, color-splashed urban scene, in which White is sitting on...

The longtime actress currently stars on the network's hit show, Big Time Rush, where she plays Mrs. Knight, mother to Kendall and Katie (played by Kendall Schmidt and Ciaro Bravo).

The Reading, Writing, It’s Exciting! Program (Rwe) is hosting a reading and literacy event at the Westside Pavilion Barnes & Noble (10850 West Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90064) on June 4th & 7th to promote literacy and to shine a spotlight on how important it is for parents to read with their children.

To help ensure this message is heard, the organization has invited various celebrities to read a book (Dr. Seuss or other) for twenty minutes with one of the children at the event (or to their own children).

Celebrities confirmed include Scott L. Schwartz (Ocean’s 11, 13, 13, The Scorpion King), Sean Kanan (The Young & The Restless,...
