Tropical Storm Isaac Forming

There is an 80 percent chance Tropical Storm Isaac will have formed near the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea by Wednesday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

It's still too early to predict the storm's track, but weather-watching enthusiasts are discussing the possibility that it could make a turn toward the north and impact the East Coast.

Michael J. Fox Returns to Television

Michael J. Fox is returning to TV.

Michael J. Fox is headed back to his original TV network home for his new comedy.

The five-time Emmy winner's new family comedy project has been ordered straight to series by NBC, the same network which aired Family Ties three decades ago.

"To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again," NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a statement.

It's Fox's first TV starring role since he left Spin City in 2000.

There is no title for the series as of yet, but Fox will play a husband and father of three living in New York City who deals with many challenges - including Parkinson's.

Phyllis Diller Dies, Rosie O'Donnell has a Heart Attack

If things do happen in 3's, a female comedian somewhere should be on alert.

Phyllis Diller died Monday morning in Los Angeles at age 95.

"She died peacefully in her sleep with a smile on her face," her longtime manager, Milton Suchin, told The Associated Press.

Diller was known for her one-liners on such shows as Match Game and Hollywood Squares and of course, her facelifts.

Diller suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 1999. The cause of her death has not been released, but she was 95.

Rosie O'Donnell suffered a heart attack last week and is now recovering at home.

O'Donnell, 50 said she had a stent inserted after doctors found that her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked.

O'Donnell said her own health problems started on Aug. 14 after she helped "an enormous woman" struggling to get out of her car in a parking lot in Nyack, N.Y.

A few hours later, her chest ached, both arms felt sore as if they were bruised, she became nauseous, and had clammy skin.

"maybe this is a heart attack," she wrote. "i googled womens heart attack symptoms/i had many of them/but really? – i thought – naaaa."

She took the aspirin recommended for people who think they are suffering a heart attack but didn't call 911. She said that hundreds of thousands of women die each year of heart attacks and that many never dial the emergency number.
