"Something Wiced This Way Comes..."

Want A Cheese Sandwich?!
Leslie Grossman & Macauly Culkin

Get ready for something wicked (like every season) in the 10th upcoming season of American Horror Story with the current working title "Pilgrim." There has been much speculation as to what this season could be about.

It is currently shooting in Provincetown, MASS, OK, so there's water involved I am guessing. Which lead to some initial theories that it may be a Jaws like sea monster theme for the upcoming season. Then Ryan Murphy released an image of a creature from the set that quite resembles one of the vampires from Stephen King's Salem's Lot. I doubt it's vampires Minions he already did that in "Hotel."

Whatever it is, I am sure the duo above, Leslie Grossman and Macauly Culkin, looking quite sinister I might add, are wicked like my byline says. That is after all the caption Ryan Murphy used under the image when he posted it on Instagram, so there!

I Am The "Tiger King"

Exotic
Rob Lowe

I have a confession to make, I have not seen Tiger King. Yet, because of the wonder of Social Media I feel like I have. Yeah, there's that. 

Well the media frenzy has extended to celebs dressing like Joe Exotic during their quarantine downtime. File that under things to do in Hollywood when one is bored.

My pick for the best Joe Exotic get up is Rob Lowe pictured above. It's pretty eerie, and there's a feral intensity to Rob that really shouts "Exotic."

Thus it makes perfect sense that he and the ubiquitous Ryan Murphy are developing their own version of the truth is stranger than fiction story.

Hey, sounds good to me, and aren't you happy???

Sh!t Leslie Grossman Says

Savagely Wicked
Leslie Grossman

I follow a number of celebrities on Twitter of varying degrees and for various reasons like the rest of you. Well today I wanted to pay tribute to one of the funnier ones Leslie Grossman. Leslie first appeared on my radar with her savagely wicked portrayal of Merry Cherry on the short lived, but brilliant show Popular.

Of late she joined Ryan Murphy's repertoire of players on American Horror Story in Cult as Meadow Wilton in another savagely wicked turn, thus returning every season since. Can you guess where I am going with this? "Yes" Leslie's Tweets are savagely wicked. Thus here is some of my favorite "Sh!t Leslie Grossman Says!" -

"Only interested in politicians with an F rating from the NRA"

"TRULY SO HAPPY AND THRILLED FOR EVERYONE I KNOW ON AMAZING SUMMER VACATIONS WHILE I SPEND MY SUMMER STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON THE 405 BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR LIFE ALTERING TRIPS WHILE I STAY HOME INHALING SMOG AND ENLARGING MY PORES"

"I just ate pretzel m+m’s AND a few fistfuls of mini Oreos so don’t let anyone ever tell you your dreams can’t come true"

"The person next to me on this plane brought their own bag of HARD BOILED EGGS. I AM A GOOD PERSON I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING."

"I have no time to do anything yet I am always fully caught up on all franchises of the Real Housewives and my commitment is either impressive or pathetic I can’t decide"

"Important update: from here on out I will only call Southern Charm “Bapadoo”. I realize this is an incredibly niche tweet."

"Let’s vote legendary asshole Mitch McConnell out and take back the senate in 2020 WE CAN DO THIS"

"That specific relief when that person bombing your insta feed with their AMAZING VACATION finally comes the fuck home"

What's That On Your Head? A Purple Ankh!
Michael Shinafelt

What's that you say? Why did I draw a purple Ankh on my head? Because today is LGBTQ Spirit Day! A community of which I am proud to be a part of. Support them and take a stand against bullying people, really we do have the power!

This was also the week of a movement spearheaded by Alyssa Milano. In response to the whole Harvey Weinstein debacle, those of us who have had sexual violations in our life are urged to keep the dialogue flowing with #metoo if we have suffered such abuse.

Well let's start this weeks column off on a note of positive energy, shall we?

#metoo

The Ankh is the Egyptian symbol of  life. I have one tattooed above my right ankle. Thus my use of it this week in honor of LGBTQ Spirit Day.

Oooooops! Ryan Murphy did it again, like he always does. As American Horror Story is headed into the home stretch he comes up with some grafted on story line that really has nothing to do with the rest of the show to accommodate a famous person who wants to guest star. In this case Lena Dunham as Valerie Solanas - pointless and boring, I was on Instagram most of the show. You'd think he'd learn, but no.

What can I say about this week that hasn't already been stated in Alternative Facts or other  such things. Seriously, what a sh!t show.

On a more human note I am still losing weight and branching out into new things in my life, like boxing. Oh yeah, I am taking up boxing as my new thing. If I hate it & decided to forgo it I will give you the 411. 

However if I stick with it I will need a punching bag. I think I know the perfect target...

Congrats Lady Gaga!

The Countess Welcomes You
To Her Golden Globe Nomination

Kudos Lady Gaga on your Golden Globe nomination for American Horror Story: Hotel! It is much deserved! Now I know what you are all thinking, she's no Jessica Lange. No, she's not so stop the pissing contest idiots. She is herself and contributes something altogether different and unique to the show which was greatly in need of some new blood (pun intended.)

If you having been watching the best season since season ince, Murder House, her performance was controlled and icy cool on the outside. Only for that exterior to unravel as the show progressed. My thoughts on those who dismissed Gaga based on the first episode? Fuck Off!

Gaga kicked it on social media with this announcement about her nomination:

"My mom and my manager are so emotional about our Best Actress Golden Globe Nomination and so happy for Ryan Murphy and the whole gang for HOTEL's nomination for Best TV Series!"

Say her name, say her name: Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga. Now rinse and repeat.

amfAR 2015: Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone, Sharon Stone!

Playing Tricks With Her Crucifix
Sharon Stone

amfAR recently held it's inspiration gala in Los Angeles, CA honoring the man behind American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the organization, it raises money for AIDS research.

While the event was of course attended by the AHS cast, with Lady Gaga performing at it, let's all pretend to be surprised by that fact. It was Sharon Stone who made the biggest splash of the evening.

Not only does she look amazing, her outfit for the night was the bomb!

Talk about inspiring! Well yes, not only does Ms. Stone inspire because she has still got it at fifty-seven, something you may not be aware of is she has raised millions of dollars for the organization. Yes, that's right, Sharon Stone has championed amfAR for years.

She has even been an auctioneer at an event and a very good one at that, she could get you to buy a rock for a few grand, she is that persuasive.

Cheers to inspiration! Have a good one!

American Horror Story: Hotel - Discuss

Werd!

Let's face it every season of American Horror Story divides fans of the genre pro and con. But they keep coming back for more? Why? Because no matter what your opinion on the individual seasons AHS captures something that gets under every horror fans skin on some level.

This season the divide seems to be a little larger in terms of pro and con. After all the shows anchor from the very beginning, acclaimed actress Jessica Lange exited after four seasons. Two of them good, one of them OK and another one tragic. Who took her place? Why none other than the multi-talented pop icon Lady Gaga - now that's diversity!

So I decided to enlist my niece and fellow horror fanatic, Kelly Waters to discuss what she thinks of season five "Hotel" - time to check in, Kelly!

MS: Before we start what's your favorite horror movie off the top of your head?

KW: Well, by far my favorite is John Carpenter's "Halloween," I've seen it millions of times.

MS: It's mine too! I watch it every year.

KW: Yeah, I watch it every year and all year long. I never get tired of it!

My Niece & Partner In Crime
Kelly Waters

MS: So, let's talk "American Horror Story: Hotel" - I'm really liking it!

KW: I fricking love it! It's dirty, raunchy...It's probably a little much for cable television, but I love that! Oh My God, seriously like the metal dildo, whoooooa?! My butt cringed!

MS: Well I didn't find it shocking, you expect AHS to push the envelope, but I thought: ouch!

KW: Yeah, it's like, wow, ok, we're taking it to that level.

MS: A lot of people were upset about Jessica Lange leaving. Personally I was actually excited, I felt it would take the show to a whole new level.

KW: Yes, I agree. I love her though.

MS: So, do I but Ryan Murphy always built the show around Jessica, and now he built it around Lady Gaga. It's raunchy, glamorous and over the top gory. Yeah, I like her in it!

KW: I was really shocked about how good she turned out to be. Because I was really unsure. It was like Oooooh, I don't know...I'm not like the biggest Lady Gaga fan, but I don't hate her by any means. She has definitely surpassed my expectations.

MS: You saw "The Hunger" didn't you?

KW: Uh, no I didn't

MS:  Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer were modeled after the Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie characters in it. We all know there is nothing new in the world and that people borrow from everything. There is nothing wrong with that.

KW: Right.

MS: Just put your own spin on it.

KW: Exactly!

MS: There's nothing new anymore, get over it!

KW: No, there is nothing original these days.

MS: Do you have a crush on Matt Bomer? I do.

KW: Oh yes, he is so cute!

What Are You Going To Do?
Lady Gaga & Matt Bomer

MS: Every year AHS always goes many places that are taboo. This year to me it is The Countess feeding her stable of children so she in turn can drink their blood. How do you feel about that as a Mother?

KW: Because this season is focused on vampires, it certainly didn't shock me. The fact that they are hooked up to to the machines and aren't being bled to death, did not really bother me. The machines to me made that disconnect, it wasn't like she was sitting there  feeding directly off of them. That would most likely make me a little more queasy. Or if she was tearing their heads off or something. But the way it is portrayed it doesn't really have the disturbing feeling for me. Now that I am a Mom I am pretty sensitive to that.

MS: So the verdict is we are both loving this season of AHS.

KW: Yes, definitely!

6 More Days Until AHS: Hotel!!!

Lady Gaga
I'm Not Bad, I Was Just Born This Way

As you know October is Halloween all month here on Entertain Me. Luckily there is no shortage of things to disturb you with in 2015, and trust me I have my methods.

So let's get the pumpkin rolling with a countdown to American Horror Story: Hotel, I can't wait for this coming Wednesday October 7th to check in with Lady Gaga and her plethora of deviants!

Personally I was glad when Jessica Lange chose to leave AHS after four years. I thought to myself: "Good now the show can take a new direction and tone" because as you know Mr. Ryan Murphy built all the seasons around his leading lady. It was time for some new blood (pun intended.)

Then I really got excited with the announcement of Lady Gaga as the new Diva in town.

All of the images and teasers have only fueled my lust to dive in the pool at The Cortez !

Happy October First minions, let the ghoul times roll!

Mowed Over: Scream Queens

I Will Survive!
Nick Jonas & Ariana Grande 

In tribute to Deaf Taylor Swift's passing in the series premiere of Scream Queens, first off let me say I am mowed over by it! Yes, death by lawnmower blows, but it was one of the highlights from the two hour debut of mayhem, murder and things that are politically incorrect.

Hey I loved the show and will be watching as the rest of the evil unfolds.

Want a few updates tied to the premiere? Well as we saw Nick Jonas who plays the token gay, Boone was offed by that gender neutral Devil killer. But in a twist of fate we saw at the end he was indeed alive and will live to pop a boner again with Chad (Glen Powell) - Since he has clearly sold his soul to the Devil in disguise, perhaps there is a more insidious agenda going on.

The yummy Nick has this to say about it “I can tell you that he is a part of the team of people involved in this master revenge plan, His history with it goes very, very deep.” 

That's Hot!

Bad news for those of you, like me, thought Ariana Grande was going to be like Drew Barrymore was in Scream and have a really great memorable (not to mention hilarious) death scene and be done. 

According to co-creator Ryan Murphy: “She comes back I believe in episode 6 and maybe more. She’s recurring definitely. Everyone thinks she’s gone but she’s not gone. We’re just not sure how exactly she’s returning." Really?! “I wouldn’t say ghost. Nothing you think is happening is happening on the show. You think some people are dead — they’re not dead.”

Well OK, I for one am not a fan of this, but hey, you never know, it MIGHT work. 

PS, Jamie Lee Curtis, of course kills in this! Hey at this point in the show, you never know this could end up being a literal statement...

American Horror Story: Funny Girls?

Barbra and me. What a completely amazing woman. #Funnygirls

Is It Really Funny? Time Will Tell...

Things are heating up on the American Horror Story: Hotel set in a seemingly cryptic post on her Instagram, Lady Gaga released this photo with the abovementioned caption.

While both of these women are totes on the amazing scale, it gives one pause to wonder...is the ultimate diva Ms. Barbara Streisand going to be making a cameo on this AHS season of Hotel?

Or did she simply drop by the set to visit since it was in her neighborhood to show her respect to the new generation of Diva, Lady Gaga, passing the torch? The brain does wander and wonder.

Respect between two mega stars? Or co-stars in love?

Time will tell...

Faye, Connie, My Sister, My Daughter

Connie Britton: I'm Faye!

We go together like Connie Britton & Faye Resnick, huh? 

Yes, it's true Connie Britton & Ryan Murphy are reuniting, and it feels so good. 

Connie as you American Horror Story fans know was in it's virgin season: Murder House, the current star of Nashville will portray Faye Resnick, who Camille Grammer notoriously described as: "The morally corrupt Faye Resnick," on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

Britton will get her moral corruption on the freshman season of Murphy's American Crime Story: The People v O.J. Simpson.

As you may recall, Resnick was OJ's slain wife Nicole Brown Simpson's friend. 

OJ was acquitted - and the killer has never been found...go figure.

AHS: Life On Mars

Hello, I'm The Gates Of Hell

OK, American Horror Story: Freak Show has officially premiered, and it confirms the David Bowie song Jessica Lange belts out under the big top: Yes, Virginia, there is Life On Mars.

Rather than re-cap something that you can, and or, already have seen. Why don't I tease you with some non-spoiler items of what wicked things are to come.

Twisty the Clown Lives Up To His Name: "Twisty" you know the homicidal clown who's running around getting his kicks killing people? This week you'll get to see his real face and apparently it is even more gruesome than the mouth mask, that must be one disgusting mug!

A Creature With a Foot Penis Is Cumming: No need to extrapolate.

The Most Bizarre Love Triangle Ever Is on the Way: Siamese Twins Bette and Dot Tattler, played by Sarah Paulson do not have the same feelings for Jimmy "Lobster Boy" Darling, played by Evan Peters. Since Bette and Dot both share the same reproductive organ, that should prove interesting.

 I Spy A Two-Faced Man: Episodes three and four are the Halloween episodes and they are all about the legend of Edward Mordrake (played by Wes Bentley). "He supposedly was born with a face on the back of his head and the face on the back of his head would whisper things," Says American Horror Story Producer & Creator Ryan Murphy. "Carneys usually took Halloween off because they believed if they didn't, their music would summon Mordrake and he would take one of them to hell." Sounds like an awesome vacation, hey Edward, take me!

AHS: I'm A Pepper, You're A Pepper...

Wouldn't You Like To Be A "Pepper" Too? 

That's correct all of you American Horror Story fans, Pepper has escaped The Asylum and joined the Freak Show!

American Horror Story: Freak Show that is.

Pepper a fan favorite inmate who visited during it's second season, Asylum is back and part of season four's Freak Show.

Naomi Grossman the actress who portrays Pepper and is pictured above with the World's Smallest Woman is a perfect fit.

According to show creator Ryan Murphy: Pepper is one of the members of the titular group of entertainers, managed by Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange). Explains Murphy, “What Elsa has done for 20 years is she goes around to hospitals and jails and rescues these ‘freak’ circus performers who are going to be shipped away to asylums and she signs the waivers and she becomes their guardians.” This season of AHS takes place in 1952, a good 12 years before the events of Asylum. So Freak Show, according to Murphy,  “is sort of like what happened to Pepper before she went to the asylum.”

Step right up and marvel at the Freak Show, check out the full length trailer below...
