Sarah Paulson is recalling an “outrageous” interaction she had with a fellow actor who watched her performance in a play.
During a Monday appearance on the Smartless podcast, with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, the American Horror Story star was asked if she would accept feedback from celebrities who come backstage to meet the cast after a theater show.
“I did do a play once. The last time I was on stage, I did a play called Talley’s Folly at the Roundabout, and the actress — and I’m going to say this, and I’m not going to ask you to cut this out, because I don’t fucking care — this actress came to the play. Her name is Trish Hawkins. ‘Hi, Trish! Hi, Trisha!’” Paulson said. “Trish Hawkins came to the play … am I going to get sued? I don’t care, because I think this is outrageous.

Sofia Vergara is back on our small screens in a big way thanks to the her new Netflix series “Griselda.” The lavish production chronicles the rise of Griselda Blanco, known as the “cocaine Godmother,” as she flees from Medellín, Colombia, to Miami and creates one of the most notorious cartels in history.

Tom Selleck recently told USA Today that he relied on Matthew Perry for line readings during the filming of one “Friends” episode during the NBC sitcom’s second season. The “Magnum P.I.” favorite was a recurring guest star on “Friends” as Richard Burke, an ophthalmologist who becomes Monica’s older love interest despite being friends with her parents. In one episode, Richard tries to act younger by using Chander (Perry) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) as examples.
“We had this role reversal thing going, where [Richard] tried to be like them, and them like me,” Selleck said, remembering that he had difficulty nailing the way Perry would make jokes fly with his trademark sarcastic line readings.
One bit of dialogue that was tripping Selleck up was a line about Richard’s football skills delivered with the sarcasm of Chandler. The line read as followed: “Could that shot be any prettier?”

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have been dating for about eight years, but they’re not looking to work together onscreen anytime soon.
“I can’t imagine,” Taylor told Variety on the Emmys red carpet. “I don’t like seeing couples doing things because I’m always aware of the coupledom.”
Holland did reveal that they have been pitched “one or two” projects and admitted that she can see them on stage together in “The Chalk Garden,” a 1955 play by Enid Bagnold about a murder mystery involving a grandmother, her granddaughter and a governess. The script also got a 1964 film adaptation starring Deborah Kerr and Hayley Mills. “It’s a very rarified kind of play,” Taylor said.
The couple began dating in December 2015 after first meeting at a party a decade earlier. Paulson celebrated Taylor turning 81 on Sunday with a post on Instagram. “Happy Birthday to my one and only love,...

Sarah Paulson revealed on “The View” that Matthew Perry helped land her a supporting role on Aaron Sorkin’s short-lived TV series “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” Perry headlined the NBC show opposite Bradley Whitford and Amanda Peet, all of whom were cast already when Paulson was auditioning for the role of fictional actor Harriet Hayes. The Emmy winner said Perry took her under his wing and ensured she had an advantage in her final audition by personally running lines with her.
“I was at a particular place in my career where I needed that job very desperately,” Paulson said. “He, because of his friendship with Amanda Peet, who was my best friend at the time and was also on the show – they had done a movie together called ‘The Whole Nine Yards’ – so he asked me to meet him in the parking lot for my final audition and...

Back in February, Pedro Pascal hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the very first time, and he brought along one of his best friends to make a surprise appearance: Sarah Paulson. The "Ratched" actor made a cameo during the show's "Fancam Assembly" sketch as a high school teacher named Ms. Jenny opposite Pascal's Mr. Ben, whose Gen Z students hilariously dub the pair "mommy" and "daddy." Although they only shared the screen together briefly, their scene was one of the episode's biggest highlights. And though it was just a sketch, some fans learned about Pascal and Paulson's decades-long friendship for the first time because of it. The duo have actually been friends for 30 years.
Their friendship began during the early 1990s when they were just teenagers. At the time, Pascal and Paulson were both up-and-coming actors living in New York. Eventually, they crossed paths, and after hitting it off,...

It’s been almost 12 years to the day since Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk unleashed “American Horror Story” on the genre-loving masses. Not many of us queerdo TV fans have stuck around long enough to enjoy the ongoing “American Horror Story: Delicate,” at least judging Season 12 by the series’ earlier viewership numbers.
But even with the show’s spectacularly uneven quality and Murphy’s unfailing ability to drop the ball mid-way through a decent story, the creepy-yet-campy anthology remains an undeniable staple of horror TV and FX offerings. It’s got a smaller fanbase these days, sure. But we’re still thriving — constantly theorizing about how the seasons are interconnected and assembling some of the funniest clip compilations on the internet.
On October 5, 2011, the co-creators and executive producers known for “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee,” and more wacky dramedy classics premiered the first episode of what was retroactively titled “American Horror Story: Murder House.

Rdx is the latest addition to the action dramas coming out of Malayalam cinema. We had the exceptional Thallumaala and Oru Thekkan Thallu Case last year, that explored comedy along with action, which was the formidable theme of both films. Rdx expands to Robert, Dony, and Xavier, who inadvertently become part of brawls leading to a chain of altercations that eventually threaten their livelihoods.
Spoilers Ahead
What happened at the carnival?
Rdx begins in the year 2003, when a locality in the city of Kochi is looking forward to celebrating the carnival which is a part of the festival organized by the local church parish. By the looks of it, this is a yearly event that everyone looks forward to. Dony is the eldest son of Philip, a local timber businessman, and he had a history of getting into fights a couple of years ago, though it seems all of that stopped abruptly one fine day.

“American Horror Story” is one of FX’s most successful series to date, airing for 11 seasons (and 123 episodes) between 2011 and 2022 and winning 16 Emmys along the way. In January 2020, the cable network made the bold decision to renew Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk‘s horror anthology series for three more installments — Season 11, Season 12 and Season 13. That ensures the flagship show will be on our TV screens through at least the year 2024. Scary good!

"Ocean's 8" graced the big screen more than five years ago and it seemed to promise more to come. However, a sequel has yet to materialize for reasons unknown. Boasting an all-star ensemble including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Awkwafina, and Mindy Kaling, the third installment of the popular "Ocean's" franchise proved its mettle at the box office, amassing a worldwide total of $297.8M, a figure roughly on par with "Ocean's Thirteen." Additionally, it garnered favorable reviews from critics. Mixed audience reactions resulted in only a 47% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes. Overall, the picture achieved success.
Yet, here we are, the passage of time notwithstanding, still awaiting further escapades featuring Debbie Ocean and her cohorts. The question remains: Why has Warner Bros. not granted the green light for another chapter in this star-studded saga?

Actor Sarah Paulson was psychic medium Tyler Henry’s first celebrity client and it completely wasn’t lost on him that she also played a medium in American Horror Story.
Paulson played medium Billie Dean Howard in AHS Season 1, a Craigslist psychic whose backstory is explored in another season of the series.
The AHS fandom has theories about Billie Dean, but Henry was fixated on how camp it was that she was his first celebrity client who also played a psychic.
Tyler Henry loved the psychic medium connection with Sarah Paulson
“It was so camp, which I could really appreciate. Like all mediums by default are a little campy but that was so special for me,” Henry said on the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast about Paulson playing a psychic on AHS.

Two of the most enigmatic actresses of our time, Elle Fanning and Sarah Paulson, will lead Mirrah Foulkes’ new film project, I Am Sybil. Foulkes directs from a script she co-wrote with Jen Silverman, recreating the true story of Sybil, one of the first widely recognized cases of dissociative identity disorder (formerly called multiple personality disorder).
Sybil was the name given to Shirley Mason, who, in a study conducted by Flora Rheta Schreiber, examined Mason’s treatment for Mpd by psychologist Connie Wilbur. The forthcoming film draws inspiration from Debbie Nathan‘s 2011 novel Sybil Exposed: The Extraordinary Story Behind the Famous Multiple Personality Case, examining flaws in Schreiber’s findings.

Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac's friendship goes way back - seriously; the duo met before they were even famous. Pascal and Isaac actually appeared in an off-Broadway play together in 2005. They later worked together on 2019's "Triple Frontier," and eventually, Pascal joined Isaac in the Star Wars universe.
"We have very similar backgrounds," Pascal told Esquire in April 2022 about their bond. "We're both children of Latin immigrants, so there's sort of a cultural familiarity, then at the same time we're both actors. We have the same dreams. It's something very special because it can be a lonely journey when you're out there going after - it sounds corny, but going after your dreams, and to find family along the way." Pascal joked, "The other side of it is that he's the younger brother I never wanted."

Melanie Lynskey says her Mrs. America co-stars Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson helped her negotiate better on-set accommodations for Yellowjackets after they offered up their trailers for her to pump and breastfeed while they were all working on the Hulu limited series.
In a new interview with The Independent that published Saturday, Lynskey opened up about navigating Hollywood, including turning down roles and why her Mona Lisa Smile audition made her “feel seen,” her career resurgence (and if she thinks it will last), as well as the rockier time in her relationship with husband Jason Ritter as he addressed his alcohol addiction.
During the conversation, she praised her Mrs. America co-stars Blanchett and Paulson, calling both women — who were higher up on the limited series’ call sheet — “generous” after they validated and supported her during her first time as a first-time working mother.

The greatest show Fox News has never put on is about to start.
Imagine a Fox News program that utilizes the talents of the no-nonsense news anchor Bret Baier along with those of the opinion host Tucker Carlson. One that also puts anchor “The Five” mainstays Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro into the mix, along with business anchor and commentator Maria Bartiromo. One that features possible appearances by Fox News executives like Suzanne Scott, the CEO of the operation, and Jay Wallace, its top news executive. A program that tops it all off with a potential cameo by Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, two of the controlling shareholders of Fox News’ media-conglomerate parent, Fox Corporation.

One that also puts anchor “The Five” mainstays Dana Perino and Jeanine Pirro into the mix, along with business anchor and commentator Maria Bartiromo. One that features possible appearances by Fox News executives like Suzanne Scott, the CEO of the operation, and Jay Wallace, its top news executive. A program that tops it all off with a potential cameo by Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, two of the controlling shareholders of Fox News’ media-conglomerate parent, Fox Corporation.
