Emma Roberts Joins “American Horror Story: Coven”
9 hours ago | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Emma Roberts is the new name to add to ever expanding cast of Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story: Coven. The FX show will return in the fall, and I expect we haven’t even begun the casting updates on this puppy.
Emma Roberts of course is the niece of Julia Roberts and Eric Roberts’ daughter, and is known for her roles in Scream 4, Celeste And Jesse Forever, Valentine’S Day and Nancy Drew.
The cast now includes Emma Roberts, Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Gabourey Sidibe, Angela Bassett, Patti Lupone, Gabourey Sidibe and Lily Rabe. »

Two Casting Announcements Plus Another Closing In on American Horror Story: Coven
11 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
We are big fans of the trend by directors and showrunners to report their casting news on Twitter, and American Horror Story: Coven‘s showrunner Ryan Murphy is definitely a proponent. He recently took to the Twitterverse to make a particularly wonderful double casting announcement:
Two legends are joining the cast of American Horror Story: Coven — Oscar nominee Angela Bassett and Tony winner Patti LuPone!
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) May 12, 2013
TVLine has followed up that announcement with the news that Emma Roberts is close to sealing the deal on her inclusion in the growing cast as well, and that she will be taking on the role of Madison, a self-involved party girl.
No further word on the roles or their duration or, for that matter, what’s in store for us with the new iteration of American Horror Story, but we’re planning on Coven being just as freaky as the first and second seasons. »

Emma Roberts is nearing a deal to join FX's "American Horror Story: Coven," a network spokesman told TheWrap on Wednesday. The "Scream 4" star is set to portray a character named Madison, who is described as a self-involved party girl. No additional details were made available at this time.

Emma Roberts Joins 'American Horror Story: Coven'
14 hours ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
American Horror Story: Coven adds a new cast member: Emma Roberts. Best known to genre fans as the star of Scream 4, Roberts got her start on Nickelodeon. Not sure which is scarier.
Much like the first two seasons of American Horror Story, creator Ryan Murphy only gives out show details in tiny little morsels, so we don't have any info on who Roberts will play. But let's play the logic game. Traditional witch covens consist of 12 women, right? We already have confirmation that Ahs alums Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy and Taissa Farmiga will be in season three, and other announced actresses are Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone and Gabourey Sidibe. With Roberts, that makes 10 females for season three. So is it safe to assume we will see at least two more major female roles announced? Probably more, because everyone on the show can't be a witch. »

16 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
FX is welcoming another member into its coven. Emma Roberts is joining the third-season cast of American Horror Story: Coven, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Details on which character the actress will play are being kept under wraps other than the fact she's a party girl. Photos: 'American Horror Story': The Spookiest Set on TV While little is known about the witch-themed season three of American Horror Story, producers said at PaleyFest in March that the series would again search for haunted places in America.

Anti-Gay Group Claims Responsibility For 'New Normal' Cancellation
16 May 2013 1:28 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
A conservative and notoriously anti-gay group is claiming responsibility for the cancellation of the NBC series "The New Normal."
Joe. My. God cites an email sent to him from Monica Cole, the leader of One Million Moms, who writes, "Our persistence has paid off once again! 'The New Normal' got the axe by NBC after the show’s first and only season!"
Cole points to a number of other shows, including "The Cleveland Show" and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" as being "set to be pulled" in the wake of One Million Moms' opposition.
"One Million Moms continues to fight for the moral values that have served our country so well for so long," she concludes. "We do so without apology."

It's upfronts week in the wide world of television, which means a whole bunch of critics are locked in a room with all the big networks, watching TV pilots and asking questions and trying to memorize this fall's primetime schedule. It also means that network execs — most of whom aren't on Twitter fielding questions all the days and all the nights like their showrunners and writers — have to do the tough work of answering questions about their current TV lineups. Fox boss Kevin Reilly has mostly been answering questions about how come Bones and American Idol are never going to die, but today he dropped some hints about the next two seasons of Glee to Collider.com.
I don’t want to say that we’re marching towards an end. We have two more seasons, which speaks to the confidence of the show and how important »

'American Horror Story' Season 3 coven adds Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone
14 May 2013 1:27 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The coven of witches for "American Horror Story's" third season keeps adding some big names -- the latest of which are Angela Bassett and Patti LuPone, announced creator Ryan Murphy on Twitter.
"Two legends are joining the cast of American Horror Story: Coven -- Oscar nominee Angela Bassett and Tony winner Patti LuPone!," Murphy tweets.
Now, we don't actually know for sure that these two ladies are playing witches, but we sure hope so. They would make excellent dark arts practitioners, we think.
The two award-winning actresses join the previously-announced new faces Kathy Bates and Gabourey Sidibe, plus returning actors as returning cast members Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Lange. We also know the witchy season will be filming, at least in part, in New Orleans.
"American Horror Story: Coven" will premiere in October on FX.

American Horror Story Adds Angela Bassett and Patti LuPone to the Coven
14 May 2013 4:47 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
I’m beginning to feel frustration toward Ryan Murphy and his methods of announcing news for his many ongoing projects. Yes, it’s nice he keeps in touch with his fans via Twitter and feels comfortable using his account as a medium to dole out secrets and announcements for shows like American Horror Story. But with only 140 characters at his disposal, his tweets always come off as wanting, failing to give the same amount of explanation an official announcement would include. Is this really something worth complaining about? Not likely, but when Murphy teased the latest hires for American Horror Story, he left me little else to talk about.
So just who has Murphy revealed will be joining the cast of American Horror Story: Coven? His Twitter claimed Oscar nominee Angela Bassett and Tony winner Patti luPone were courted into taking roles in the much-talked about horror anthology series. I »

The casting bonanza for FX’s new session of American Horror Story (subtitled Coven) has begun.

Secrets hidden in Doctor Who trailer, GLAAD honors Adam Lambert, and the final vote in Minnesota
The news about the networks fall schedules is coming hot and fast now. CBS has picked up the James Van Der Beek sitcom Friends With Better Lives, about a group of friends who each think the others have better lives. Really quite literal in terms of title. It’s multi-camera, which tends to be my personal preference on comedies, even if it’s out of style.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray were both asked yesterday what they thought about an out tennis player, and both were confident tennis could handle it. Federer said “I don’t think it would be a problem. We’re very relaxed. We don’t play a team sport and see each other all the time. … We’re very open. So whatever happens, happens.

'The New Normal' Star On The Show's Cancellation
13 May 2013 8:39 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
NBC's "The New Normal" was canceled on Friday. The comedy, starring Andrew Rannells, Justin Bartha, Ellen Barkin and NeNe Leakes, got the axe from the network after just one season on the air.
On Sunday, Justin Bartha, speaking with international press for his new movie "The Hangover Part III," shared his thoughts on the sad news with The Huffington Post.
"It's kind of bittersweet... Well, I wouldn't call it bittersweet but I have mixed feelings because I do think that I wasn't necessarily expecting it to get picked up but I do think that we accomplished quite a bit in one season," he explained. "I'm absolutely proud and honored to have been a part of that series and to have worked with Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler and all of the cast and crew who did a beautiful job.

'American Horror Story: Coven' Adds Three Witches
13 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
As is creator Ryan Murphy's way, it is not confirmed that the recently booked actresses are going to be witches in the upcoming season of American Horror Story, but with a subtitle of Coven and a largely female cast, I'm playing the odds here.
First up is Angela Bassett, best known for her Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do With It. Films that FEARnet readers are likely more familiar with include Critters 4, Innocent Blood, Boyz in the Hood, and Malcolm X.
Next is Patti LuPone. Best known for her work on Broadway (she won Tonys for roles in Evita and Gypsy and starred in Broadway productions of Sweeny Todd and Les Miserables, among others), LuPone has appeared in films (Summer of Sam and Heist to name a few) and had memorable guest roles on TV shows like 30 Rock.
