AHS: Matt Bomer Joins The "Freak Show"

Take A Bite: Matt Bomer

“American Horror Story: Freak Show begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience.”

AHS just got a lot sexier with the addition The Normal Heart and Magic Mike actor, Matt Bomer.

No details on what he will be playing just yet, but judging from the fourth season synopsis of the show above he is in for a horrific time!

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, who directed Bomer in The Normal Heart states: “I sent him a text that said, ‘First right of refusal, here’s the role.’ It’s very…warped.”

Awesome! I can't wait! The show also features returning cast members, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Gabourey Sidibe and Evan Peters as well as Bomer other guest stars include, Michael Chiklis, Wes Bentley, Patti LaBelle.

What a cast!!!

Also there is a creepy new teaser out for the show that premieres Wednesday October 8th, on the usual channel FX.

A quite inventive use of a forked tongue I must say...

Sweetie Darling: Absolutely Fabulous The Movie

"Sweetie, don't you need some help, or something?"

Saffy: Where are you going?

Edina: New York.

Saffy: I didn't think they let people with drug convictions in.

Edina: Darling, it's not a conviction.

Patsy: Just a firm belief!

Get ready it's time to celebrate with a shot and a line, more news comes from Jennifer Saunders regarding the Absolutely Fabulous feature film and it goes something like this...

Sometime earlier this year, Saunders confirmed that she had started writing the script for an Absolutely Fabulous movie. With a release aimed for the end of 2015. Well she recently made another announcement regarding it, that is a awesome news to fans like myself.

Saunders has leaked that the show’s original cast will be back to play their roles in the film, and hopefully every star who made a cameo appearance in the show’s five-season run will appear as well.  “I haven’t got the storyline completely sorted out yet,” she said, “but I want to cast everyone who has ever been in the show in it.”

Have A Drink, Kate Moss

Wow! So hopefully we will get to see the likes of: Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Helena Bonham Carter and Sir Elton John, bringing their fabulous selves back to the film! 

Y-e-s!!!

Time for another celebratory shot and a line, Woo Hoo! I am looking forward to an Absolutely Fabulous 2015!

Taylor Swift - Blah, Blah, Blah

I Have Two Left Feet, But I Am Having Fun, So, Shake It Off!

With her forthcoming album 1989, inspired by the sounds of “late ’80s pop,” that will debut on October 27. 

Taylor Swift has released her first single and video from it called Shake It Off, which for reasons of pure publicity and entertainment fodder has sparked some sort of debate about whether Ms. Swift going all 80's on us is appropriate, or not.

Thus I will chime in on this important world issue. This song, a send up of public perception of who she is contains lyrics that are pure Swift. As for the sound? I could name a few songs it reminds me of, but what the F@ck?! Madonna has made a career out of this sort of thing.

Personally I L-O-V-E that Ms. Swift gets down and references one of my favorite films, Black Swan in her Natalie Portman ballet dress, and acknowledges she has two left feet by showing that everyone else around her is a way better dancer than she is.

Sure we all will be over this song in a week or two, it's going to be a huge hit and in your face everywhere you turn. But in the meantime it's the middle of the week have some fun and Shake It Off ...Happy Hump Day!
