"GLEE" CREATOR RYAN MURPHY JOINS TWITTER: TWEETS KATE HUDSON SET PHOTO


Lea Michele & Kate Hudson
Now here's someone you want to follow. Hot on the heels of Naya Rivera visiting Toronto yesterday, we get the amaze news that Glee Creator Ryan Murphy has joined Twitter finally. Seems like a fitting move since the FOX Series certainly isn't without its share of Rumours and Gossip. And who better to set us straight than Murphy himself?

Murphy who simultaneously is working on Season Two of American Horror Story, just posted a Set Photo of Lea Michele and Kate Hudson - yes, she will be featured in the upcoming fourth Season!  Those of you who have seen NINE will know that she's the real deal and if you've never heard Hudson sing, you're gonna be wowed. It is said that Hudson somehow is tied into the Story in Rachel's (Michele) time at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts.

MARK RUFFALO TAKES LEAD IN RYAN MURPHY'S "THE NORMAL HEART": JULIA ROBERTS, JIM PARSONS, ALEC BALDWIN & MATT BOMER ALSO ADDED


Mark Ruffalo at TIFF 2008
2012 will be the start of Mark Ruffalo's long-overdue rise as a bona fide Leading Man in Hollywood.  The Actor has been confirmed to take the lead in Glee/American Horror Story Creator Ryan Murphy's new Film, The Normal Heart.  The HIV/AIDs Drama is based upon a TONY Award-winning Play of the same title and centers on Ned Weeks, who is one of the first Advocates in New York to raise awareness about the disease.  Written by Activist/Writer Larry Kramer, the Play largely is autobiographical.

The Cast for The Normal Heart is rather impressive including Julia Roberts, who last teamed with Murphy on 2010's Eat, Pray, Love.  She will be playing a wheelchair-bound Doctor who also is among the first to raise concern about HIV/AIDsMatt Bomer, whose star dramatically is on the rise, takes the role of Weeks' Boyfriend contracting the Disease, while another openly-Gay Actor Jim Parsons will tackle the role of an Activist from the South.  Alec Baldwin also has been named to play the Lawyer Brother of Weeks, struggling to cope with the sexuality of Ruffalo's character.

Ruffalo currently is filming Now You See Me, a Bank Heist Thriller which has the FBI circling a team of Illusionists who rob banks as part of their act, rewarding their audiences with money; Isla Fisher, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg star. His upcoming Drama Thanks for Sharing has him alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, P!nk, Tim Robbins and Joely Richardson, about three Sex Addicts on the road to recovery.  His marquee release however is Disney's all-star The Avengers, in theatres May 4, 2012 which has him starring in what is said to be an important role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk.

"AMERICAN HORROR STORY" TO RETURN NEXT SEASON WITH NEW CAST


Still from American Horror Story
One of my latest obsessions is FX's American Horror Story, which concluded its first season just recently after 13 episodes. The Horror Drama is pretty much the best thing to happen to surface on Television in quite some time, daring to go where few others have before. Produced by Glee's Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, the Series is a complete departure from what we are used to with the antics over at William McKinley High School. And I pray that unlike Glee, all of American Horror Story's glory isn't all thrown into its first Season only.

The First Season centers around the Harmon Family: Ben (Dylan McDermott), Viven (Connie Britton) and their Daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga), who move into a Home with a horrible, horrible history.  Their Neighbour, the overbearing Constance (Jessica Lange), constantly is lurking about, holding the key to some disturbing secrets which unlock their fate.  The Supporting Cast also includes Kate Mara, Zachary Quinto, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson and Denis O'Hare.
