Having navigated the tumultuous terrain of former child stardom and emerged unscathed, Candace Cameron Bure is a member of an increasingly small group of actors. The happily married mom-of-three credits a tight-knit family with her continued success.
“Nothing is more important than them,” she tells OK! “They’re the ones that will stick with you and be there through the good times and the bad times. Keep your family close.” It is a lesson she is no doubt beginning to impart to daughter Natasha, 11, who is “dabbling in showbiz.”
“She’s done a few commercials. She’s auditioned for some movies and shows, so I’m letting her pursue that. I’m OK with it.”
Quick to clarify that “sports and school” remain the priority both for Natasha and her little brothers Lev, 10, and Maksim, 8, Candace says that husband Valeri Bure‘s athletic genes are definitely in play.
“One of my boys is playing hockey, and he just scored a goal in his last game,” the proud mom, 33, reports. “My other two compete in tennis and they’re doing quite well.”
As far as academics are concerned, Candace says that she and Valeri — a former professional hockey player — adhere to a few hard and fast rules. “We turn off the TV, video games and computer — except for homework — during the week,” she explains. “The TV is reserved for Friday night, Saturday and Sunday just because that’s the time to do homework, and it makes it that much less chaotic in our house.”
The mind-body connection is also something the Cameron-Bures believe strongly in. To that end, Candace says that her family of five sticks to home-cooked, healthy meals.
“Exercise is a huge part of our home … and making sure that their bodies get what they need, also, physically, because that helps them to relax and for them to do their schoolwork all the better.”

Proving that something good can come from something bad, Demi Moore has pledged $250,000 in grant money she won from the Pepsi Refresh Project to Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS). The non-profit organization — which assists women who have been sexually exploited — will use the funds to train ten former trafficking victims as outreach workers.
Calling the work of GEMS “nothing short of heroic,” Demi said she hopes that by empowering the women to re-enter their community from a position of strength they will go on to “refresh the lives of thousands of victimized girls.”
Their mission is one which is near and dear to Demi’s heart. In January, the 47-year-old actress and husband Ashton Kutcher launched The DNA Foundation, which is committed to shining a spotlight on sex slavery throughout the world and to bringing perpetrators to justice. In the United States alone, 300,000 children are believed to be enslaved, while GEMS estimates the average age of entry into the human trafficking system to be just 12 to 14-years-old.

The Pepsi Refresh Project will ultimately award $20 million in grant money this year to thousands of organizations, businesses and individuals with ideas that will have a positive impact on their community. Pepsi will accept 1,000 submissions each month, in six categories including Health, Arts & Culture, Food & Shelter, The Planet, Neighborhoods and Education. There are no restrictions on who may apply, and each day you may vote for up to 10 ideas — including your own.
Demi is mom to Rumer Glenn, 21, Scout LaRue, 18, and Tallulah Belle, 16, with ex-husband Bruce Willis.

Whitney Houston added two new songs to her set during her concert Wednesday in Adelaide, Australia.
Halfway through the show, during the “unplugged” portion when Whitney, 46, performs old hits, she announced it was her daughter Bobbi Kristina‘s 17th birthday, a source close to the singer tells PEOPLE. Whitney then sang “Who Would Imagine a King” from The Preacher’s Wife. “[It's] one of Krissy’s favorites,” the source says, “and is not in the show.”
Then a birthday cake was rolled out on stage, and Whitney invited her daughter to come up, joined by her dancers and another tune – “Happy Birthday,” which was sung by the entire audience.

Mother and daughter also celebrated the occasion in Sydney earlier in the week during a stop on the singer’s Nothing But Love world tour.
“They rented a beautiful boat and took a four-hour cruise all around Sydney Harbor with Krissy’s friends, the dancers and family members,” adds the source. “That was the pre-birthday celebration. The cake at the concert was a complete surprise to Krissy. She had no idea!”
