  • Matthew McConaughey Makes Sarah Paulson’s Night With Compliment

    Matthew McConaughey Makes Sarah Paulson’s Night With Compliment

    Matthew McConaughey is a big fan of actress Sarah Paulson, and he recently made the actress’s night when he paid her a compliment.

    Paulson, best known for her role on American Horror Story and the film Carol, is currently playing the role of Marcia Clark on The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story.

    She recently told People magazine about the compliment she received from Matthew McConaughey.

    “I was actually with someone last night where Matthew McConaughey said the most lovely thing to me,” Sarah Paulson said as she walked the red carpet at the PaleyFest tribute to AHS: Hotel. “If I could’ve written it down…I mean, I’ve got it committed to memory, and I’m not going to repeat it because it’s just for my own personal self!”

    “It was one of the moments where I realized, ‘God, you know, sometimes you work and you don’t know that anyone is noticing or seeing, and other times you’re working in a way that you can tell that people are responding to the thing that you’re doing,’” Paulson added of Matthew McConaughey’s words. “This has been a new world for me to be inhabiting, of people feeling an awareness of my work, which I have not experienced before in this way. So it feels incredibly nice–and I can say it’s preferable to the former!”

    People can catch Sarah Paulson on The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on FX. People can check out Matthew McConaughey just about every night of the week in one or more of those stupid Lincoln ads.

    Maybe Sarah Paulson will consider offering up a rather underhanded compliment to Matthew McConaughey one of these days, too. She should tell him he’s far more intriguing on the big screen than he is talking to himself inside a Lincoln.

  • Sarah Paulson: Losing A Job Led Her To “American Crime Story” And Marcia Clark

    Sarah Paulson: Losing A Job Led Her To “American Crime Story” And Marcia Clark

    Sarah Paulson wasn’t always a big name in TV.

    In fact, it wasn’t until her run on American Horror Story that Sarah Paulson became a household name and those smashing performances were only given to her by chance.

    In fact, Sarah Paulson has Jessica Lange to thank for her start on the path to widespread fame.

    In a recent interview, Sarah Paulson revealed how the falling-through of a play led to her roles on the American Horror Story series and The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

    Sarah Paulson went with Lange to a Project Angel Food event in Los Angeles one day and met her fate in the form of American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.

    Of course, Sarah Paulson was already familiar with Murphy as he had cast her in a previous hit show, Nip/Tuck.

    Sarah Paulson said of the fateful meeting, “At one point, Jessica just threw her arm around me and said to Ryan, ‘Oh, can’t you find something for Sarah to do on the show? She’s going to be in town now.’ And he said, ‘Oh. Yeah. I think I could do that.’”

    Sarah Paulson’s roles on American Horror Story expanded from season one to season two.

    Then, her big break came when Murphy cast Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark in The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

    Sarah Paulson has clearly enjoyed her new role, finding it surprisingly complex.

    She said of Marcia Clark, “That old saying of, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’ is incredibly apt when it comes to Marcia.”

    She added, “She was painted as a person who was after fame and was too strong and tough for her own good, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth.”

    What do you think of Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark?

  • Joseph Fiennes Gets Support from Stacey Dash for Michael Jackson Role

    Joseph Fiennes was unexpectedly cast in the role as Michael Jackson for a half-hour comedy film about a week ago, sparking considerable outrage by many who believed a white actor shouldn’t be cast to play the part of a black man.

    Although the American Horror Story actor has no intention of withdrawing from the project, he has been the recipient of support in recent days. One of his biggest supporters is Stacey Dash.

    Writing on her Patheos blog, the actress weighed in on the casting of Joseph Fiennes in the story that is set after 9/11, in which Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor all jump into a car and drive back to the West Coast.

    “I say, ‘BRAVO!’” Stacey Dash wrote. “I’m sick and tired of being told, ‘Sorry, Stacey, this is a Caucasian-only role.’ Counterintuitively, this decision by Hollywood–which looks like a diss to blacks–is actually what we’ve been saying all along: roles should NOT be based on color.”

    Dash, who is no stranger to controversy, compares Joseph Fiennes’ casting as Michael Jackson to actors of color being cast in the Broadway production Hamilton, which features portrayals of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.

    “I don’t care about the race of the actors portraying historical figures and I can’t wait to see Joseph’s portrayal of Jackson,” she added. “It’ll be amazing as long as he plays himself truthfully and authentically.”

    “Roles should not be dictated by race,” Stacey Dash continued. “There’s no reason why the lead roles in Homeland, Veep, or Penny Dreadful have to be white (my favorite shows by the way). I want to see more of this diversity and thinking outside of the box with the equality that this designation entails–this is the right track.”

    Joseph Fiennes was as shocked as everyone else when he learned he’d been cast in the role.

    “I’m a white, middle-class guy from London. I’m as shocked as you are,” he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “[Jackson] definitely had an issue–a pigmentation issue–and that’s something I do believe. He was probably closer to my color than his original color.”

    What’s your take on Joseph Fiennes playing Michael Jackson? Are you surprised by the support Stacey Dash is giving him?

  • Sarah Paulson Mourns Passing of Fellow “American Horror Story” Actor Rose Siggins

    Sarah Paulson Mourns Passing of Fellow “American Horror Story” Actor Rose Siggins

    Sarah Paulson took to social media this weekend to mourn the untimely passing of her fellow American Horror Story actor Rose Siggins. Siggins died on Saturday in a Denver hospital at the age of 43. Siggins played the role of Legless Suzi on American Horror Story.

    It was later on Saturday that Sarah Paulson shared her grief on Twitter.

    Rose Siggins was “born with a rare genetic disorder known as sacral agenesis.” As a result her legs were deformed with her feet pointing in opposite directions before she had them amputated. None of this prevented her from having a normal childhood, however. She went on to marry and have two children, son Luke and daughter Shelby Cecilia. Those children are of great concern to Sarah Paulson, who shared a second message via Twitter, urging all to donate to a GoFundMe page set up in Siggins’ honor to benefit her kids.

    On Sunday it was clear Rose Siggins’ death was weighing heavily on Sarah Paulson’s heart and mind. She shared a photo of herself with Siggins and Jessica Lange.

    While it’s devastating to lose a loved one, friend, or co-worker, it’s almost always harder when that death occurs during the holidays.

    Sarah Paulson and all the American Horror Story family are grieving. They are likely banding together, too, to do what they can for Rose Siggins’ children.

    Sarah Paulsen recently dished on her sexuality to PrideSource.

    “I don’t let having been with a man make me think I am heterosexual, or make me want to call myself that, because I know I have been attracted to women — and have lived with women,” she carefully explained. “So, for me, I’m not looking to define myself, and I’m sorry if that is something that is seen as a rejection of or an unwillingness to embrace in a public way, but it’s simply not. It’s simply what’s true for me, and that’s all I can speak to.”

    Holland Taylor recently shared that she and Sarah Paulsen have even discussed marriage.

    “She’s mentioned it because just from a spiritual point of view, from a heart point of view, as a…as a…as a deed that has a very rich symbolic gesture to it, it has its attraction. But it’s been a very casual conversation at this point,” she explained. “But it’s not–it would be a very private thing. I would not do that publicly. But as a symbol, as a pledge, as a plighting one’s troth I would see it–that it would be a wonderful thing to do.”

    “I’m sure [that] shocks a lot of people, and it startles me,” Taylor said on November 25. “But you know, it’s not a statement original to me–I’ve heard it as a joke once in my past, but as they say, ‘If she dies, she dies.’ . . . She thought it was funny when I said it too.”

  • Lily Rabe Takes On Old Charlize Theron Role on “American Horror Story”

    Lily Rabe has returned to American Horror Story, and this time it’s in the form of serial killer Aileen Wournos. Wournos was portrayed in the 2003 film Monster by Charlize Theron. Wournos was put to death in 2002 at the Florida State Prison for the murders of seven men between 1989 and 1980.

    MTV reports that this one episode with Lily Rabe as Wournos may be all fans get. She has already checked out of the “Hotel.”

    In her role as Aileen Wournos, Lily Rabe didn’t get the benefit of expert costuming like that of Charlize Theron in the film. In fact, one source calls the costume and makeup Rabe were “cheesy.”

    Lily Rabe’s character seduced a drunken John, despite the cheesy get-up, and bound him. When he escaped, he went straight to her I.D. and learned she was exactly who she claimed to be.

    An aside: Did Lyly Rabe feel a bit silly playing a dead serial killer who carries I.D.?

    MTV is begging American Horror Story for more Lily Rabe. Do you concur? Would her presence add lots to the upcoming episodes this season?

  • Lady Gaga Involved In Blood-Soaked Orgy With Matt Bomer, Goes Topless On Twitter

    It looks like studying method acting for nearly ten years has made an impact on how Lady Gaga sees herself.

    “Arguably, it’s the most dangerous form of acting where you embrace becoming the character and you embrace calling upon memory sensory from your life,” Lady Gaga said in an interview.

    And Lady Gaga did indeed embrace her vampire role debut on the drama series, American Horror Story, and says she feels as old as her character even though she’s just 29.

    “I feel f**king g old,” she told news.com.au. “I have been in the business since I was 15, and although I have been famous for only seven years and lived 29, I feel like I have lived 100 years.” Despite her feeling of being old, the first episode of the series was the talk of the town mainly because of her blood-soaked orgy scene with Matt Bomer. She also shared a photo of herself topless and covered in blood, captioned, “It’s showtime. #ahshotel TONIGHT”.

    Lady Gaga plays a role called the Countess, which was described as “a glamorous but deadly creature who sustains on a healthy diet of sex and blood — she kills with her very fashionable but very sharp chainmail glove”.


    Her character also enjoys the company of men, which she says is the exact opposite of her actual self. Lady Gaga claimed she felt isolated as a child and had a hard time fitting in with other people.

    “I did feel very isolated as a young person, and not because I was alone or abandoned by my family, it’s just a chemical thing. Some kids are born like that. We don’t know why we feel lonely, but we do. It’s like depression but it’s not because someone neglected me,” lady Gaga said.

    She also added that she was sexually abused at the age of 19.

    She’s definitely drawing on her difficult life experiences to portray her complex character in the series.

  • Lady Gaga Promotes ‘American Horror Story’ Stint, Starts Countdown to Season Premiere

    Lady Gaga is set to star in the upcoming season of American Horror Story as the creepy owner of the Cortez Hotel. The singer is clearly excited about her upcoming role, as she is promoting a countdown to the October 7th premiere via Twitter.

    Appearing in a new teaser trailer for the FX hit show, Lady Gaga doesn’t look a lot different than she does when performing on a concert stage. Her wardrobe is similar to outfits she’s worn throughout the past few years as a music superstar. Series creator Ryan Murphy said earlier this summer that several designers have collaborated on her wardrobe ensemble.

    Lady Gaga will play an Elizabeth of Bathory-inspired character, who not only owns the hotel, but also engages in love affairs with both Matt Bomer and Fin Wittrock.

    Returning American Horror Story stars Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Denis O’Hare, Emma Roberts, and Wes Bentley will star alongside Lady Gaga in American Horror Story: Hotel.

    Ryan Murphy said all the seasons of the show are connected somehow, and that the thread will all make sense when the series comes to an end.

    Are you an American Horror Story fan? Don’t you see Lady Gaga meshing perfectly with the characters, as well as with this season’s story line?

    Might Lady Gaga consider giving up singing and turn to full time acting at the end of her latest pursuit?

    There are no doubt a vast number of fans who pray that’s not the case.

  • Jenna Dewan-Tatum: First Look at Lois Lane’s Sister Lucy Revealed

    Jenna Dewan-Tatum was recently cast in the role of Lois Lane’s younger sister Lucy Lane in the upcoming CBS show Supergirl. The Witches of East End and American Horror Story star will have some involvement with Jimmy Olsen–played by Mehcad Brooks.

    Supergirl producer Ali Adler recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly, and shared more about Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s character and how she will impact Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl–played by Melissa Benoist.

    “We hope to explore the history that Lucy has with James Olsen–or, as Lucy knows him, Jimmy Olsen,” Adler says. “I think we’re going to bring in her father. She not only plays a romantic foil with whatever Kara and James are brewing, but people will also be surprised that she’s really a woman’s woman. She and Kara develop their own friendship, too. We’re not just bringing her in to purposefully create tension. She serves a larger story drive.”

    When it was announced earlier in August that Jenna Dewan-Tatum was joining the Supergirl cast, her character was described as “strong, smart, and successful in her own right.

    “Supergirl brings the DC Comics character into the modern age with Kara Zor-Ek leading a double life as a big-city personal assistant who secretly protects National City from alien fugitives who have escaped from the Phantom Zone,” Entertainment Weekly reports.

    Will you be checking out Jenna Dewan-Tatum in her new role? Supergirl premieres on October 26.

    Jenna Dewan-Tatum will definitely bring something very special to Supergirl.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis: ‘Scream Queens’ Is An Homage to the ‘Halloween’ Actress, Says Creator Ryan Murphy

    Jamie Lee Curtis is the reason for the screams coming to Fox this fall.

    For the younger generations, Jamie Lee Curtis thrilled a generation battling psycopath Michael Myers in the Halloween movie franchise.

    Scream Queens creator Ryan Murphy said during a joint panel for American Horror Story and Scream Queens at Comic-Con on Sunday that the upcoming series starring Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Skyler Samuels, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin and Billie Lourde is a result of his love of Jamie Lee Curtis horror movies.

    Curtis joined fellow the panel with Murphy, who said if it wasn’t for Jamie Lee’s agreement to appear in the series, he would have pulled the plug.

    “When we were writing the pilot of this, I asked to meet Jamie Lee, who I had loved forever,” Murphy said. When they met he told her, “Look if you don’t do this show we’re not going to do it. And I meant it.” Murphy said, because the series is an homage to her. And considering the title of the series, we believe it.

    When asked whether Jamie Lee new Scream Queens character, Dean Cathy Munsch, would be anything like her character in Halloween, Laurie Strode characteristics, Murphy and Curtis replied in the affirmative.

    “If you’re going to hire Jamie Lee Curtis, you want to see her kicking ass and fighting back” Murphy said.

    Murphy declined to name the killer in the series, something even the cast doesn’t know, but it did hint that the killer appears in the pilot and it’s pretty obvious who the killer is.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess it’s Lea Michele. Who’s with me?

  • Keke Palmer Finally Gets ‘Grease’ Male Lead

    Keke Palmer has been busy with Scream Queens, so she may not have minded all that much. But it has been over a month since the announcement that she, Vanessa Hudgens, and Julianne Hough were cast in Fox’s latest stab at a live televised musical Grease: Live.

    Palmer was cast as Marty, role played in the original film version by Dinah Manoff. Vanessa Hudgens will be Rizzo, originally played by Stockard Channing. And Julianne Hough will be the female lead, Sandy, originally played by Olivia Newton-John.

    But up until now there has been no male lead, no Danny Zuko to join Palmer and the other ladies, and reprise John Travolta’s role. Now that spot has been filled.

    Broadway star Aaron Tveit, who was in Catch Me If You Can on stage, will star as Danny Zuko. Fans will also know Tveit from the big screen in Les Miserables, as well as on television in Gossip Girl and Graceland.

    Keke Palmer is also joined by Carlos PenaVega as Kenickie. Others rumored to join Palmer in the live musical include Nick Jonas, said to be filling the role of Teen Angel/Johnny Casino. Also rumored are Martin Short, playing Coach Calhoun, and Olivia Newton-John herself, as Principal McGee.

    Meanwhile, Keke Palmer has said of her current project, Scream Queens, that it will live up to the reputation of creator Ryan Murphy, also known for American Horror Story.

    “I think that he is keeping that same, heightened, extreme grounded-ness,” Palmer told Entertainment Weekly. “How he does it, I have no idea. But that is very much so a part of Scream Queens. And also, the comedy. He finds the balance in light of the dark. It’s fun to play.”

  • Jessica Lange: How She Feels About Comparison to Caitlyn Jenner

    Jessica Lange has been making headlines since Monday, when Bruce Jenner came out via the cover of Vanity Fair magazine as Caitlyn Jenner. Similarities between Lange and Jenner have appeared on several TV news programs and online as well.

    So how does Jessica Lange–known for roles in films including Tootsie and more recently for her American Horror Story role–feel about being compared to Caitlyn Jenner?

    Even before seeing the Vanity Fair cover, she was honored.

    “Oh, really? That’s wonderful,” Jessica Lange told The Daily Beast.

    “Well now I’m going to have to look for that picture,” she added.

    It is uncanny how similar the facial structure of Caitlyn Jenner and Jessica Lange appear.

    Bruce Jenner underwent 10 hours of facial feminization surgery in March to achieve his transition from a man to a woman.

    Jessica Lange might be honored, but something she doesn’t have that Caitlyn Jenner does is more than two million Twitter followers. In just four hours on Monday, Caitlyn Jenner had amassed her followers, shattering a record set by President Obama a couple of weeks ago.

    Can you see the similarities between Caitlyn Jenner and Jessica Lange that have been pointed out in the media?

  • Jessica Lange Is Teaming Up With Ryan Murphy Once Again…Sort Of

    Jessica Lange is set to team up with Ryan Murphy–the showrunner of American Horror Story–once more, but it won’t be for an onscreen project.

    The veteran actress will take to the stage on Broadway in a production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night in a role she’s played before, which actually earned her an Olivier nomination in 2000. Murphy, who owns the stage rights to the play, reportedly had a hand in placing Lange in the revival opposite actor Gabriel Byrne. Lange and Murphy have formed a friendship over the last several years after she stole every scene she was in on AHS and came back for three more installments of the series.

    In 2013, Lange disappointed legions of fans when she announced she would only be doing one more season of the show (Freak Show) before moving on to other projects, but stressed that she’d had a blast in her varied roles, especially when the plot took some of its darker turns.

    “I think Ryan was maybe even surprised by how fast and how dark it got last year,” Lange said of American Horror Story: Asylum. “Of course, that’s right up my alley. I like that a lot. But I think this season was a deliberate attempt to lighten it and add some humor. And I’m not against humor; my sensibilities just always tend toward the more tragic or the darker.”

    Jessica Lange will return to the stage next spring, but it’s unclear what projects she might have waiting in the wings until then. Ryan Murphy said in December that he wouldn’t stop sending her his character ideas in the hopes that she would come back at some point.

    “She and I will probably have a dinner date over the holidays. We always start with the character and she decides from there. Before I was met with a really quick no and now I’m hearing, ‘Let’s keep talking.’ So that’s a promising sign…I think if I presented her with the right character, it could work. That’s my hope. I’m sending bribes every day!”

  • Chloe Sevigny Hits 40, Wishes She Had a Baby

    Chloe Sevigny has been turning heads ever since she made out with a girl dressed like a guy on screen in Boys Don’t Cry. Back then, that was kind of a big deal. But Boys Don’t Cry was just in 1999. Now that sort of thing is the stuff of daily headlines and political debates.

    Of course, Chloe Sevigny has done plenty of other stuff to keep herself walking on the freak side of culture. In the art house film The Brown Bunny in 2003, she performed unsimulated fellatio on star and director Vincent Gallo.

    More recently Chloe Sevigny has been seen in American Horror Story and The Mindy Project. Through it all, Chloe Sevigny has been a darling of the gay community and the fashion community.

    Recently featured in British Vogue, Chloe Sevigny talked about turning the big 4-0,

    “At first I wasn’t freaked out about it, then on my birthday I had a total meltdown. I don’t know if I feel so much the effects of turning 40, as I can visually see in the mirror that things are changing… Forty is a turning point, and with the baby pressure, it becomes a different thing. I wish maybe I had had a baby when I was younger.”

    Some do not consider Chloe Sevigny to be pretty, but she has an appeal.

    “I’m not a classic beauty and I feel like this is inspiring for girls – you don’t have to be the perfect whatever,” she told the magazine. “I do appreciate style – when someone makes an effort, or better still, when style appears effortless,” she continued. “Anybody that shows a perspective is exciting to me.”

    She recognizes that her age does mean that some styles are heading into the sunset for her, but not many.

    “I don’t know that I should wear super high-cut denim shorts any more, but I do! My style hasn’t really changed with age.”

    Sevigny gets her fashion cues from different places than most of the wannabe models nowadays.

    “I’m always inspired by Patti Smith. I see her around New York a lot. She does that tomboy look which I wish I could pull off. I’m a little more girly… She looks rolled out of bed and so cool. Marlene Dietrich is another one; she was impeccable.”

    In fact, when she is 80 years old, she pretty much knows how she will look.

    “I see myself with really long, white hair. Hopefully I won’t be as body conscious, and be more kind of flowy, go back to the whole YSL thing I did when I was younger, but still putting in a bit of effort.”

  • Chloe Sevigny Joins Lady Gaga For “AHS” Cast

    Chloe Sevigny will be returning to American Horror Story for the show’s upcoming season, which will take place in a hotel, according to series creator Ryan Murphy.

    Sevigny previously appeared on American Horror Story: Asylum, where she played a nymphomaniac, but it’s not clear what her role will be during the new season. She joins a spectacular ensemble cast that includes Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, and Wes Bentley, and while no other former stars of the series have been announced, several have said they would jump at the chance to work with Murphy again. Kathy Bates and Evan Peters are among those, and fans of the first season are happy to note that Connie Britton also said she would love to make an appearance.

    “I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I sure would love to work with Lady Gaga and I’m gonna miss Jessica [Lange] so. I’d like to move on and be a part of the new crew. I hope they announce it soon,” Bates said earlier this month.

    Sevigny hasn’t commented on the news–which Ryan Murphy announced this week on Twitter–but the actress did find herself in some hot water on the web recently when she commented on Jennifer Lawrence in an interview, calling her “annoying” and “crass”.

    “So much is about marketing and selling the product. They’ll have a really peppy funny girl on the talk show rounds, and everybody adores her and loves her and wants to be her or f*ck her, and then so many more people want to watch the movie or TV show. I understand that star quality, how much value that carries. I love when a movie star is a great movie star. I think Angelina Jolie is a great movie star. I don’t think I can be that, or just be an actor. I don’t think I have the charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she’s herself, she’s really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass,” Chloe told V Magazine.

    Lawrence has not commented on the interview. The new season of American Horror Story premieres this fall on FX.

  • John Travolta to Play Robert Shapiro on ‘American Crime Story’

    John Travolta is headed back to TV for the first time in decades. He will soon play the role of Robert Shapiro in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson . Sarah Paulson, Cuba Gooding Jr., and David Schwimmer help comprise the cast.

    E! News reports that Travolta will portray O.J. Simpson’s defense attorney from the infamous 1990s trial. Paulson will play prosecutor Marcia Clark, Gooding is O.J. Simpson, and Schwimmer will play the role of Robert Kardashian.

    Production is set to start early this year. American Horror Story guru Ryan Murphy will serve as director.

It follows the events of the trial from the prospective of Simpson’s attorneys.

    This will be the first major TV role John Travolta has played since starring as Vinny Barbarino in Welcome Back Kotter . That show ran from 1975 to 1979. He currently stars on the big screen in The Forger alongside Christopher Plummer and Tye Sheridan. He recently wrapped filming of Criminal Activities.

    In addition to starring in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, John Travolta will also serve as producer for the 10-episode series.

  • American Horror Story Script Stolen

    American Horror Story fans need to be on the lookout for a major spoiler!

    According to gossip site TMZ, a very critical script from the American Horror Story: Freak Show season has been stolen and has been shopping them around to different media outlets.

    The script was allegedly stolen on set last week while filming was taking place in New Orleans. One of the actors reportedly left part of the script behind and someone grabbed them up.

    While all that was stolen was one scene, it was apparently a very critical scene to the show. The show is produced by 20th Century Fox TV, and they said that they are taking this matter very seriously.

    “The theft and unauthorized distribution of our scripts is a very serious matter and we will take all appropriate steps necessary to vigorously protect our intellectual property,” they told the website.

    According to Inquisitr.com, producers are very careful not to leak any information regarding the episodes until a week or two before, and many of the actors do not know what will happen in the next episode until they receive the next script.

    “I didn’t have a clue whatsoever what the part might encompass when I signed on. All I knew is that I had a great time the previous year and if that was any indication than it was going to be a wild ride. It was about two weeks before I was scheduled to start shooting that I got the script,” actress Angela Bassett said.

    For now, all we know is that the scene involves “Pepper the pinhead and a scene that reveals how she ended up in the Briarcliff Manor during Season 2, Asylum .”

  • Gwyneth Paltrow Dating ‘American Horror Story’ Producer?

    Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly dating Brad Falchuk–one of the producers of both American Horror Story and Glee. The New York Post calls them an ‘open couple,’ but only when they circulate among Hollywood’s rich and famous.

    A source tells them Paltrow and Falchuck are “openly dating, but behind closed doors,” and that entertainment pros know them as a couple. “They go to private Hollywood parties together.”

    Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk supposedly spend time together this summer in both L.A. and the Hamptons–and they even went on a vacation to Utah some time after Gwyneth and Coldplay front man Chris Martin ‘consciously uncoupled.’

    Always one to keep up appearances, however, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted last week, along with Chris Martin and their children at a family dinner. She was reportedly stroking Chris Martin’s face as they said goodbye.

    Does Gwyneth Paltrow get to have her cake and eat it, too? Is that why she doesn’t seem all too concerned about Chris Martin dating Jennifer Lawrence? She has some stiff competition there–don’t you think? Jennifer Lawrence is young and beautiful–and she eats real food.

    What do you suppose this whole consciously uncoupling business means for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin? Does it mean they’re both simply taking a couple of years to have relationships with other people? Do you think they have any intention of one day consciously coupling again? You must admit it’s bizarre.

    In the meantime Gwyneth Paltrow also made news for busting a move during one of fitness guru Tracy Anderson’s workout classes just a couple of days ago.

    So do you think Gwyneth Paltrow is staying in tip-top sexy shape for Brad Falchuk or Chris Martin? Does this conscious uncoupling mean she can have her cake and eat it, too?

  • Ryan Murphy To Make True Crime Series

    Ryan Murphy, creator of hit shows like American Horror Story, Glee, and Nip/Tuck, is ready to bring another winner to the viewing public.

    The new series will bring true crime to the American Horror Story platform.

    The new series is set to start filming in early 2015 in Los Angeles and will begin with a 10-episode series on O.J. Simpson called American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson.

    The O.J. Simpson sequence is said to be based on a book called The Run of His Life: The People V. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin and will be directed by Ryan Murphy.

    “This is an exciting project for me, as I’ve been looking for the right property which could serve as an extension of the American Horror Story brand I love so much,” Ryan Murphy said.

    He continued, “The O.J. case was as tragic as it was fascinating — it seemed like everyone had a stake in the outcome. It was really the beginning of the modern tabloid age.”

    The Ryan Murphy-directed series featuring the O.J. Simpson trial will reportedly be told from the attorneys’ perspectives and will center around the drama that led up to the trial.

    That story, and the many other news stories of our age that are sure to be featured on the show, have changed American history.

    Ryan Murphy fans aren’t the only people getting pumped about the new series.

    John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks, said of the new Ryan Murphy venture,

    “Time and time again, Ryan Murphy has transformed the medium of television by redefining genres and formats as he did with Nip/Tuck, Glee and the American Horror Story franchise, and we expect the same of American Crime Story.”

    Landgraf continued, “Scott [Alexander] and Larry [Karaszewski] have adapted Jeffrey Toobin’s book into a masterful 10-hour piece. I have no doubt that Ryan [Murphy] and his partners Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Brad Falchuk, and Dante Di Loreto are going to make something very memorable here – and that it will be a spectacular first entry in what is destined to become a series of great true crime-based miniseries.”

    Congratulations to Ryan Murphy on what is sure to be another masterpiece!
