When Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen first stepped into the limelight together, it seemed like a classic Hollywood romance. They met on the set of Good Advice in 2000, quickly fell in love, and tied the knot in 2002 after just nine months of dating (per People).

Their life appeared idyllic: working together on Scary Movie 3 while Denise was pregnant with their first daughter, Sam, born in March 2004, followed by appearances on Two and a Half Men. Yet, beneath the surface of this glossy public image lurked a relationship fraught with turmoil. By March 2005, while six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, Denise filed for divorce, igniting a bitter public...

Donald Trump has enraged a lot of people over the years with his stunts, but one, in particular, had Michael J. Fox really seething: When he mocked Serge Kovaleski, a disabled reporter, with an apparent impression of him during one of his rallies. This hit Fox even harder because he himself was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease back in 1991.

In an interview with the New York Times in 2019, he dished out at the president, saying,

We have a working relationship with the government. Trump is not sitting around thinking about Parkinson’s. But one thing that angered me is when he mocked that reporter. That was a stab to the guts.

When the writers of Spin City decided to name-drop Alex P. Keaton in the Season Four finale, they surely thought they were merely making a little joke. Enjoying a jape.

“We literally met at the table read, and it was love at first sight,” Braff told host Conan O’Brien. “We became those characters. And then it fed itself, because Bill would be like, ‘What did you guys do this weekend?’ And...

Details around Fox's character are still kept under wraps, but he has officially joined the series with a "major guest-starring role." However, his new character might be tied to the character arc of Ford’s Paul Rhoades.

Michael J. Fox has joined the Season 3 cast of the Apple TV+ comedy “Shrinking” as a guest star.

Though details about his character remain under wraps for now, the role will mark his first time acting since 2020, when he retired due to speech issues associated with his Parkinson’s disease.

“Shrinking” will also reunite him with series co-creator Bill Lawrence. Previously, the two worked together when Fox led Lawrence’s ABC sitcom “Spin City,” which he departed after four seasons in 2000 due to Parkinson’s symptoms. Fox also had a two-episode arc in Lawrence’s NBC sitcom “Scrubs,” in which he played a genius doctor with severe Ocd.

Lawrence co-created “Shrinking” with Brett Goldstein and Jason Segel, who stars as Jimmy, a therapist whose grief about his late wife pushes him to start breaking the rules and making big changes in the lives of his patients, friends, family and self.

For the first time in five years, Michael J. Fox is returning to the screen. Deadline reports that he's set to appear in the third season of Apple TV+'s comedy-drama Shrinking, which will reunite the Back to the Future star with Bill Lawrence, who created Shrinking and Fox's hit 1990s sitcom Spin City. The part will be Fox's first acting role since 2020, when he reprised his The Good Wife character, Louis Canning, in two episodes of The Good Fight.

Details of Fox's appearance on the series are being kept under wraps, but it is believed he will be connected to Paul Rhoads (Harrison Ford), who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the show's first season. It will be the first on-screen collaboration between the two 20th-century box-office titans; however, Ford has talked about how Fox's own struggles with the disease have informed his performance. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's...

Exclusive: Five-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox is returning to acting with a major guest-starring role on the upcoming third season of Apple TV+’s hit comedy series Shrinking, toplined by Jason Segel and Harrison Ford.

Details around the role are being kept under wraps but it may be connected to the character arc of Ford’s therapist Paul Rhoades. It was revealed at the end of Season 1 that Paul has Parkinson’s, a disease Fox has been battling for three and a half decades.

This marks a reunion for Fox and Shrinking co-creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence. Fox headlined Lawrence’s first series as a creator, Spin City, for four seasons before leaving when his symptoms became more serious. The ABC comedy landed Fox his fifth Emmy award; he had won four for Family Ties.

Since then, Fox was the star of The Michael J. Fox Show and has...

LGBTQ audiences who wanted visibility in pop culture had it tough for most of 1995, when Morrissey’s “Boy Racer” was about as explicit as things got (“He’s just too good-looking…”). Two years before Ellen DeGeneres came out to a network TV audience of millions, several fresh shoots appeared in an otherwise largely barren field. The political ABC sitcom Spin City boasted a gay Black character, the third- or fourth-funniest cast member. A closeted lesbian chief of staff kept an eye on the hospital in NBC’s megahit E.R.

Alan Ruck, fresh off HBO’s “Succession,” has been cast in the upcoming horror-thriller “Corporate Retreat.” He joins an ensemble that also includes Rosanna Arquette (“Pulp Fiction”) and Ashton Sanders (“Moonlight”).

Ruck portrayed Connor Roy on the Emmy-winning “Succession,” for which the show’s cast twice won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. Ruck himself was nominated for a Golden Globe as well as a Primetime Emmy for his performance in “Succession.” He is also known for his roles in films like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Speed” and “Twister” and the television series “Spin City.”

Principal photography on “Corporate Retreat” starts in June. The film follows a group of corporate employees at a tech company whose team-bonding retreat devolves into a bloody fight to survive the tests of a vengeful executive.

The film is written and directed by Aaron Fisher (“Inside the Rain...

As John Mulaney’s weekly Netflix talk show Everybody’s Live continues its deliberately chaotic 12-episode run, one of the few stabilizing factors has been sidekick and announcer Richard Kind.

Thankfully, Kind hasn’t been relegated to the sidelines, he’s participated in some of the show’s funniest bits, including when he behaved like Gene Simmons for an entire episode allegedly due to an oddly specific Kiss-related head injury.

Kind held the same role in last year’s iteration of the series, Everybody’s in L.A. But when it was confirmed that Mulaney’s unhinged show would be returning for a longer run in 2025, Kind’s name wasn’t included in the announcement, prompting some fans to threaten to “riot” if he wasn’t involved.

Well, it seems that the reason why Kind wasn’t name-checked in that press release is that nobody involved with Everybody’s Live...

The fourth time could be the charm for Hannah Einbinder at the 2025 Emmys.

The Hacks costar was nominated in Best Comedy Supporting Actress for each of the first three seasons for playing young comedy writer Ava Daniels. Einbinder lost to Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) in 2021, Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary) in 2022, and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) in 2024. Meanwhile, lead actress Jean Smart as legendary comedian Deborah Vance has gone 3-for-3 at the Emmys so far in the Best Comedy Actress category.

According to Gold Derby's Emmy predictions, Einbinder is out front to finally win her first trophy for Season 4. Her closest competitors, as of this writing, are Colón-Zayas, Jessica Williams (Shrinking), Ralph, Catherine O'Hara (The Studio), and Janelle James (Abbott Elementary).

Einbinder has the benefit of starring on the reigning Emmy winner for Best Comedy Series, Hacks, which returned to Max on April 10 and continues airing until May 29, which will...

Back in the 20th century, it was very common to see a stand-up comic enter the Hollywood pipeline by starring in their own sitcom based on their acts. Comedians like Bob Newhart, Martin Lawrence, and Roseanne Barr went from performing on small stages around the country to appearing in basically every living room in America thanks to the miracle of television. But when it came to the Latino community, there was a clear lack of representation. That is, until George Lopez arrived on the scene in 2002 with "The George Lopez Show."

Created by Lopez, "The Drew Carey Show" creator Bruce Helford, and "Roseanne" writer Robert Borden,"George Lopez" premiered on March 27, 2002, after the Los Angeles native had tried to make a TV show happen since the early 1990s. He finally achieved his goal when he met Sandra Bullock backstage after a performance at the Brea Improv Comedy Club in 2000. With the award-winning actress' help,...
