Top Moments: Michael J. Fox Stays Optimistic, House Detoxes, and Danny Gokey Scares Us

Hugh Laurie, Danny Gokey

What a week for thrills and chills: We shuddered through Dollhouse and Lie to Me — and recoiled in fear from a horrible, inhuman noise. But we recovered our courage watching real and imaginary people alike (and even a horse!) overcome incredible odds. It was enough to make an incurable optimist of anyone. read more

Michael J. Fox: Mockery from Rush Limbaugh Was a "Great Favor"

Michael J. Fox, Adventures of an Incurable Optimist

How optimistic is Michael J. Fox? So optimistic he found a silver lining in Rush Limbaugh accusing him of faking his Parkinson's symptoms.

Fox, whose ABC special Adventures of an Incurable Optimist features Lance Armstrong, Bonnie Hunt, Bill Murray, Tracy Pollan and others talking about hope, said on The View that Limbaugh's 2006 comments proved to be a boon to stem cell research.

"He did us a great favor because he put a lot of attention on the conversation," Fox said Thursday. "We could hijack the last two weeks of the political season." read more

"Our Other Cops Is On!"

After last weeks episode got down to some serious karma business I had high hopes for this one Personally though this one left a little to be desired as we were treated to another flashback gimmick episode Not even a year ago Our Cops Is On aired which was hysterical while providing great insight into the characters Our Other Cops Is On runs twice as long with half the appealKathy Kinney and Mike OMalley were back as the stars of another fictional episode of Cops along with Billy Gardell who you might remember from OMalleys Yes Dear years They try to keep the peace at the local Fourth of July carnival but are no match for Earl Randy and the rest of the gangs criminal behavior Eventually they get their hands on 50000 worth of Homeland Security equipment the cops showcase at the carnivalThere were all sorts of 911 and terrorism jokes right from the get-go Im usually all for pushing the envelope but when dealing with a topic that is serious for many p read more

Nancy Travis, The Bill Engvall Show

TVGuide.com: Do you feel like Bill Engvall is coming on at a good time, given the number of family-oriented sitcoms that have ended their runs over read more

Rescue Me Star Denis Leary Isn't Afraid of Hot Topics

Denis Leary and wife Ann Lembeck at the BASH for New York's Bravest

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. Leary suits up as FDNY Ladder 62 firefighter Tommy Gavin on FX's hit dramedy, but his passion for the work firefighters do extends far beyond his day job. He started his foundation in 2000 after his cousin, firefighter Jerry Lucey, and a childhood friend, Lt. Tommy Spencer, lost their lives in the line of duty while battling a blaze in the actor's hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts. In orde read more

Michael J. Fox Calls Rush's Rant "Funny"

Funny strange, funny ha-ha, or funny like Skippy? In a Thursday interview with CBS Evening News' Katie Couric, Michael J. Fox dismissed Rush Limbaugh's claim that the Parkinson's-afflicted actor exaggerated his symptoms — perhaps even went off his medication — for a political TV ad advocating stem-cell research. "The irony is that I was too medicated," Fox said, "[and] not by design. It kicks in when it kicks in. That's funny, the notion that you could 'calculate it' for effect. Would that we could." read more

Michael J. Fox Accused of "Acting" in Anti-Bush Ad

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. read more

Who cares about the Lost snub ...

Question: Who cares about the Lost snub and Ellen Burstyn? The Emmys got a big one right this year: Leslie Jordan has made me howl in everything he's done, from Murphy Brown to Dharma & Greg. Kudos to the Academy for awarding him for his guest role on Will & Grace. To me, this makes up for nominating Kevin James. Answer: To me, Kevin James' clowning falls under the same heading as Leslie Jordan's broad and often very funny shtick. Be that as it may, I have no gripe with Jordan winning the guest-performer Emmy. The only one of those guest-actor wins that made my jaw drop was Christian Clemenson (a fine actor in an over-the-top role) beating Michael J. Fox for Boston Legal ... read more

Was Apprentice's Lee Shortchanged?

Lee Bienstock, The Apprentice

So many things were wrong — atypically disorganized and surprisingly cursory, if you will — about the live results show for this latest round of NBC's The Apprentice. Where was the heated final boardroom battle? Why was the reunion aspect all but ignored? Who dares to disappoint Jaime Pressly? And why didn't Trump reveal the actual, quantifiable outcome of each final task? After the Donald decided to hire read more
