Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton has lined up her next TV series project. She is set as the female lead in American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s drama pilot for FX. Murphy is set to direct the pilot, from 20th Century Fox, which will shoot next month, after Murphy and Falchuk wrap production on Glee.
FX and the producers are keeping the premise of American Horror Story under wraps, but a breakdown for the pilot lists its main characters as Ben Harmon, a sensitive therapist, and Vivien Harmon (Britton), his gorgeous wife who is a force to be reckoned with in spite of her vulnerable demeanor. Murphy and Falchuk are executive producing American Horror Story with Dante Di Loreto.
Britton continues to be attached as a producer to another FX project, a David O. Russell drama, now in development. It is unclear whether she would star in that if it comes to fruition.

Cheryl Cole & Her Regrettable Back Tat @ National Television Awards

Wow, what the hell was she smoking when she got the tramp stamp?! I don’t know about you bastards, but tats like these seriously ruins her for me.
Anyway, I was looking forward to Cheryl Cole appearing on Simon Cowell’s American version of his hit UK show “The X Factor,” but it appears that a previous assault charge is keeping the English-flavored pop hottie off the judging booth. It sucks b/c it would’ve been a great development for her career especially since American dudes would’ve tuned in just to check her out. Seeing how this is a Simon Cowell-produced show, anything’s possible at the moment.
