Michael J. Fox’s "Shrinking" role will find him reuniting with Bill Lawrence, the series co-creator, who also helmed "Spin City," the hit sitcom Fox starred in during the late Nineties. More on Fox's return to screen: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-m…

Biden: Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently. The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases. No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough. For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.

Thoughts on the Hunter pardon?

I am raffling my Alpine White Gibson Les Paul Customs that I’ve been using since 2003. This is one of three identical models used in the “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” and “Love Is Only a Feeling” music videos. Tickets are now live! raffall.com/370413/enter-r…

@aroncaplan @lorraine Well here’s an article from NME. I’m American but my understanding is that NME is the biggest or one of the biggest music magazines in the UK. The headline is: “Viral Taylor Swift video sends The Darkness’ ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’ to Number One“ nme.com/news/music/vir…

@violetbleu @lorraine Even Justin laughed. That’s not the chart. It’s the rock songs on ITunes in the USA at a moment in time. Any report saying they are back at No 1 in the charts means the UK Singles chart for that week

‘Taylor Swift just makes parenting that little bit easier’ ‘The Darkness’ are back in the charts thanks to the US singer’s antics at the US Open - and frontman Justin Hawkins tells Lorraine how the country star has helped him relate to his daughter #Lorraine #JustinHawkins #TaylorSwift

@aroncaplan @lorraine Here ya go…

@lorraine Any sources about The Darkness being back in the singles charts. And during the programme it was stated ‘I Believe in a thing called Love’ is Number 1. Either dodgy researchers or #fakenews

@DukeTheDogg @AnglophileTV 3/ can understand if RA just wanted to get away from them. JMHO :)

@DukeTheDogg @AnglophileTV 2/ paparazzi friend who was with her admitted that he was clicking his camera non-stop the whole time, so I...

@DukeTheDogg @AnglophileTV 1/ Yeah, I believe she's a fan, but she approached RA when he got to the car that was waiting for him, and her...

@DukeTheDogg @AnglophileTV Sorry to butt in, but did you know that the girl is a pro autograph hound & she was w/ a pap who was taking pics?

@gomgomi03 (2/2) and post them for me. Much appreciated. 💐💐💐

@gomgomi03 (1/2) Thank you very much for your reply! 😊 That was very kind of you to write out that explanation and take those screen caps..

@hesperiss It's very weird. The announcement changes nothing for this season. I'm baffled as to why they didn't give the show more time.

@hesperiss (2/2) been hearing quite a few Richard Armitage fans say they're going to start watching the show once his episodes start.

@hesperiss (1/2) I don't understand why they're making the announcement now since they're going to air all of the eps anyway. And I've...

@hesperiss Yeah, they should have given the Red Dragon storyline and Richard Armitage fans a chance to help ratings b/f making a decision.

@BryanFuller Thank you for the retweet. Fingers crossed that you guys find a new carrier for your outstanding show.
