EXTRA! EXTRA!

Michael J- Fox has a surprise for his Spin City fans. Vanessa Williams is hot and cool and “Blair Witch” meets “Survivor” for a spooky new TV show. Today, in this installment of “Extra Extra.”

Jim Belushi was jazzing it up last night in Pasadena California at ABC's new fall lineup launch party. The guest list included Jason Alexander, Joan Cusack, John Stamos, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and Sela Ward who told “Extra” it's like going back to school.

Sela Ward says, “I'm rarin' and ready to go.”
“Spin City's” Charlie Sheen is excited to head back to work. Michael J Fox will be making a special appearance this season. He says, “The guy’s a legend and I get to occupy the same space with him and have some laughs you know.”

Vanessa Williams is flying her way onto the Women’s Entertainment's Emmy nominated series “Cool Women” which profiles ordinary women who accomplish great things. She says, “A cool woman is a woman who feels comfortable in her own skin and who enjoys her power yet highlights her femininity."

The new season, which premieres July 25th, also features Dolly Parton, Pat Benatar, and Luther Vandros.

There's been a murder in Sunshine, Maine. But don't worry. It wasn't an actual murder. It is a new reality show that debuts tonight on Fox called “Murder in Small town X” The show asks 10 real people to play detective and figure out who killed a small town family before the killer kills them. It has been said the contestants got so immersed in the fiction of this world, they actually thought there was a killer on the loose in this town. The sole survivor gets $250,000.00.



We're shaken' but not stirred in today's “Extra Extra.”
