Season 12 of American Horror Story, subtitled Delicate, has unleashed a brand-new trailer.

The sold-out event was a coup for Fire Island.

Kim Kardashian’s American Horror Story casting is turning into a real nightmare! At least where the press is concerned.

American Horror Story has garnered mixed reactions from fans and celebrities alike — and at least one is not shy about sharing her opinion.Broadway legend and three-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone recently shared her thoughts on the casting news during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.When asked if she cared about Kardashian’s casting, LuPone emphatically responded, “Yes, I do.”Cohen clearly knew he was onto something and was about to cause drama, so he furthered the conversation, asking the actress and singer, “You don’t like it, do you?”LuPone didn’t hesitate to comment again, saying outright, “No, I don’t.”LuPone went on to explain her indignation about Kardashian becoming an actor on the program. She addressed Kardashian directly, saying, “Excuse me, excuse me, Kim.

American Horror Story's latest recruit, Kim Kardashian has been blasted a former star of the horror-drama series, Patti LuPone. Kim, 42, famed for her relationship with Kanye West, who she welcomed four children with across their eight-year marriage – as well as the TV phenomenon Keeping Up with the Kardashians – will co-headline the upcoming twelfth series of American Horror Story alongside Emma Roberts. But while appearing on US talkshow What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this week, 74 year old Patti, who appeared in both the Coven and NYC instalments of AHS, took part in the 'Do! They! Give a Damn!?' segment with fellow guest John Leguizamo, as the host brought up Kim's surprise casting.

horrified by this celeb’s small-screen appearance.Broadway legend Patti LuPone has hit out at Kim Kardashian’s casting in the upcoming season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story,” saying the reality TV titan is taking an acting job away from a legitimate performer. LuPone — who appeared in the third season of the hit horror franchise — made the claim during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday night. “Do you give a damn that Kim Kardashian is now acting in season 12 of ‘American Horror Story?'” the talk show host asked the three-time Tony winner.

Beau is Afraid (★★☆☆☆), Ari Aster’s ambitious third feature film, in which I weighed how unprofessional it would be to walk out of a three-hour screening early, convinced as I was by that juncture that I was not enjoying myself and would likely not enjoy myself for the duration of the movie.It was about 20 minutes in.If you like vivid nightmares driven by existential depression and crushing grief — which, is to say, if you’re looking for a movie that acts as a mirror for the encroaching suffocation of American life in 2023 — you will love Beau is Afraid.Unlike most horror films that seek to provoke a feeling of escapism from the drudgery of daily life, Aster has drilled deep into the fragile psyche of a nation reeling from two decades of outsized culture war trauma and buttered up those sensitive neuroses with cayenne pepper.That may sound appealing to some viewers. I personally don’t understand watching a movie to be further reminded why everything is on fire with possibly no hope of recovery or redemption.

After posting giant per screen numbers at four theaters last weekend, A24’s Beau Is Afraid  jumps to 926 for the distributor’s third outing with Ari Aster.

We reached out to them and said I want to be in ‘Schmigadoon!’ They said, ‘Sorry. You’re too old.’ “The Post reached out to reps for the show’s co-creators, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, as well as LuPone for further comment.LuPone’s still holding her head high despite the alleged rejection.

Patti LuPone may be a Broadway legend who’s won three Tony Awards, but hasn’t prevented her from feeling the sting of ageism.

Patti LuPone says that she requested a role in the second season of Schmigadoon!, but was rejected for being “too old.”

It was Agatha all along! Kathryn Hahn‘s delightful villain left WandaVision fans wanting more, and they’ll get their wish with the spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos.
