The sublime second season of American Horror Story, subtitled Asylum, swapped season one's supernatural spookies for something much more terrifying: human nature. Specifically, the horrifying ills we're capable of inflicting upon one another when the watchful eye of society has turned away.
And while slews were subjected to Sister Jude and Dr. Arden's mental and physical abuse inside the seemingly-impenetrable walls of Briarcliff Manor, no one suffered more than Lana Winters, played with an expertly-honed mixture of excellence and exasperation by Sarah Paulson. Often victimized, but never a victim, Paulson's ability to exude strength even in the weakest moments ensured Lana was a character you could, and would, always root for.
ETonline caught up with the actress (an Emmy nominee last year for Game Change, and current Critics Choice Award winner for Ahs:Asylum) to talk about tackling this seemingly insurmountable role, the physical toll playing Lana took on her and find out why she's returning for a third »

While Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood played with people like puppets and served up savory speechifying, Corey Stoll emerged as the ace up House of Cards‘ sleeve. As Peter Russo, he played a congressman who was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and thusly steered into a tumultuous arc, one with valleys as deep as the peaks high. Here, the actor — whose previous TV credits included NCIS, Law & Order: La and The Good Wife — hails the “embarrassment of riches” afforded him and the thrill of helping Netflix break new ground.

The Doctor! Guillermo del Toro! Vampire pilot for FX! Who Wouldn’T be all over this story? We’ve actually already told you a little about the del Toro vampire pilot The Strain, based on the trilogy of books he co-authored with Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves). If picked up, the showrunner would be our beloved Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel).
So, as the headline blares, the newest cast member is (one of) the Doctor(s). This particular Doctor is the newest to us, though I suspect he’s one of the oldest. It’s John Hurt, reuniting with his Hellboy director del Toro. Hurt’s castmates in include Corey Stoll (The Bourne Legacy, Midnight in Paris), Mia Maestro (Nadia in Alias) and Kevin Durand (Keamy in Lost). Here’s the press release, which includes a synopsis of the show:

For Lily Rabe, the devil was in the details as she braved the second chapter of FX’s macabre miniseries, American Horror Story: Asylum. As Sister Mary Eunice, she started off as a the dutiful No. 2 to Jessica Lange’s nuthouse overlord, but then something got into the nice nun. (Could it be… Satan?!) Here, Rabe reveals how creator Ryan Murphy afforded her the freedom to raise hell — and in doing so possibly scare up an Emmy nod for Supporting Actress in a TV Movie/Miniseries.

"White House Down" star Channing Tatum debuted the first baby photo of Everly Tatum, his newborn daughter with wife, "American Horror Story" star Jenna Dewan-Tatum. The acting couple welcomed their firstborn May 30 in London, where Channing was based while filming "Jupiter Ascending."
Fans had not yet been given the opportunity to sneak a peek at the baby girl -- who was arguably born into one of the most aesthetically pleasing gene pools in Hollywood -- until now. Channing posted a photo to his Facebook page, along with the caption, "First Father's Day with my girls!" The proud new dad also tagged new mom Jenna in the pic. She then took to Twitter to share a link to the photo, wiring, "First Father's Day with our lil angel..."
Production on Channing's film moves to Chicago after London, and Jenna has a Lifetime series filming in Vancouver, so these happy parents are »

HBO has released a haunting teaser trailer for their new series True Detective, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. It's an eight-episode drama that follows two detectives searching for a serial killer in Louisiana. I enjoy watching shows like this, so I'm looking forward to it. Knowing HBO we can assume that it will be incredibly dark and disturbing.
If the show does well, the idea behind it is to introduce a new mystery with a new cast of characters every season, like American Horror Story is doing.

Lifetime's upcoming Lizzie Borden biopic, starring Christina Ricci, has added two more to its cast.
TV Line reports that Billy Campbell ("The Killing") and Clea Duvall ("American Horror Story: Asylum") have come aboard to tell the tale of Borden, who infamously was tried and acquitted in the 1892 ax murders of her father and stepmother.
Campbell will appear as Andrew Jennings, Borden's lawyer, while Duvall will take on the role of Borden's sister, Emma.
Borden's been quite the hot topic as of late. A competing project is in the works at HBO, with Chloe Sevigny attached to topline, and Duvall's season of "Ahs" touched on the Borden saga with the character of Grace (Lizzie Brochere), who murdered her family in a similar fashion.
Are you looking forward what is sure to be an insane take on the Borden tale from Lifetime? »

As is the case with the other Best of TV lists I've published this week, my selections for best drama aren't intended to be a set-in-stone ranking that will carry through to the end of the year, but rather a snapshot of the titles I think about and talk about most often whenever the subject of current TV comes up. Mad Men nearly made the list, despite a rather shaky start, because its recent run of episodes has been so strong, and I'd be very surprised if Breaking Bad stumbled so badly upon its return that I stopped mentally saving it a space. American Horror Story overlapped 2012 and 2013, and was demented and committed (no pun intended!) enough that I thought about including it as well. In the end, I decided to close out my Best of TV selection with these five deserving dramas.5. Scandal (ABC)As deliriously soapy and »

Katey Sagal has more than 30 years of experience in Hollywood, but when she was up for a role on “Lost,” she had to audition. “It was a big deal to get this little arc,” recalls the actress, who prior to her current stint on “Sons of Anarchy” was largely known for her comedy chops. “It’s a mixed blessing: You’re doing one thing for so long people like you that way, but as a creative person you want to break out.”
Transitioning between comedy and drama jobs (and the other way around) for actors and writers seems like it should be getting easier. Dramedies like “Glee,” “Nurse Jackie” and “White Collar” provide space for both genres to blend, but writers and actors alike note very little change in the system when it comes to trying to cross over.

Wes Bentley will star in Ryan Murphy's HBO pilot Open, in which he'll play someone "handsome but arrogant," according to THR. Open is "a modern, provocative exploration of human sexuality and relationships," which is fancy talk for "hey, lots of nudity." Bentley certainly fits the mold for a Ryan Murphy leading man: Just like Nip/Tuck's Julian McMahon, American Horror Story's Dylan McDermott, and The New Normal's Justin Bartha, he's got super-dark hair and striking light eyes. They could all play brothers, pretty much. Sexy, brooding brothers with stubble and secrets. »

Wes Bentley (The Hunger Games) is set to star in Open, HBO’s drama pilot from Glee and American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy. The project, which Murphy co-wrote with Lauren Gussis, is described as a modern, provocative exploration of human sexuality and relationships. Bentley will play the handsome but arrogant Evan Foster, a bit of a blowhard who loves espousing his theories on human sexuality. Open hails from Fox 21, the cable division of 20th Century Fox TV where Murphy is under a rich overall deal. This marks a rare foray into television for Bentley, whose only previous TV gig was a starring role in another HBO pilot, Tilda, opposite Diane Keaton. »

TheWrap has learned that Bentley will play Evan Foster. The character is described as "handsome and knows it, arrogant and completely charismatic, a bit of a blowhard who loves espousing his theories on human sexuality." Bentley played Seneca Crane on "The Hunger Games." His other film credits include "American Beauty" and "Lovelace." Previously, Bentley was in the HBO pilot, "Tilda," with Ellen Page and Diane Keaton, which the »

Aiming squarely for a certain, potentially overlapping cross-section of Gif-making TV fanatics, horror producer Jason Blum has added Donald Glover and American Horror Story’s Evan Peters to his upcoming thriller Reawakening, according to The Wrap. The film finds them joining a team of research students that also includes Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass, whose discovery of the secret to bringing the dead back to life results in “a series of sinister consequences,” as bringing the dead back to life typically does—a synopsis that sounds superficially like a remake of Flatliners, were that not already happening elsewhere. However, the »

Good morning!
Michelle Chamuel has made it into the finals of The Voice. I'm not surprised, I'm just delighted! Let's look at Michelle behind-the-scenes, when the competition isn't so stressful.
I was so happy to see Paige and Emily doing lesbian things on Pretty Little Liars last night. Looks like we'll see more of Lindsey Shaw next week too.
Speaking of Pll, the book series' author Sara Shepherd did a Q&A at Goodreads where she talked about Emily's queerness.
I think it's great that gay and lesbian teens, especially, can see a character on TV who struggled with her sexuality, dealt with family backlash, and has now gotten through it and is living her life. I also know that the Pll staff did a video for the It Gets Better campaign for Lgbt kids and bullying. When I started writing the books, »

Bros before witches! (Or at least alongside them...Right?) That's what we find ourselves chanting after chatting up Zachary Quinto regarding his whereabouts on American Horror Story's season three. Though the fan favorite still has not been approached to appear in Coven, which centers around witches, Quinto tells us he's "always open to it." "I'm actually going to do a play on Broadway in the fall," the 36-year-old explains, referring to The Glass Menagerie. "But the nature of [American Horror Story] is such that I'm sure [executive producer] Ryan [Murphy] could call and say, 'Could you fly down on your day off and do one episode?' And if he does, I »
