A veteran of the sitcoms Becker and Almost Perfect and a slew of other TV programs and films, Nancy Travis has returned to series television as Susan Pearson, the wife of The Bill Engvall Show's titular family man.

While actor/comedian Denis Leary is familiar to many as a result of his years in the entertainment industry, the star and cocreator of FX's Rescue Me wants those who follow his work to also follow a cause that's equally close to his heart: his charity. To increase awareness of the Leary Firefighters Foundation, he held the Sixth Annual BASH for New York's Bravest fund-raiser this past Friday at New York City's famed Cipriani restaurant on Wall Street.

Michael J. Fox has come under fire for his appearance in election-season TV spots that deride certain GOP candidates for fighting stem-cell research that could potentially cure Parkinson's disease, from which the actor suffers. Conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh, for one, has accused Fox of either being "off his medication or acting" — playing up his writhing and voice-quaking — in the spots, while others have labeled Fox's claims as "mistruths." Limbaugh has since apologized, yet insists Fox has allowed Democrats to "exploit" his illness. This may very well be the first Fox news that Rush hasn't deemed fair and balanced.
