That doesn’t mean, however, that she doesn’t plan to enjoy her latest gig, in the new Fox series “Scream Queens” that launches Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Promoted for months, the seriocomic Fox series from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan finally arrives with a two-hour premiere Tuesday. The university has received numerous complaints against the sorority and the new dean wants to revoke the organization’s charter.
“Swamp tours are great”: The star boasted that she “fed a gator” on her down time in New Orleans and Ellen quipped, “They eat on their own”.

The cast of “Scream Queens” includes Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Keke Palmer, Oliver Hudson and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Is “Scream Queens” the best of both worlds or does it fail to balance humor with horror? “(I) said in the meeting, ‘If you don’t do it, we’re not going to do the show”.
“Here’s the thing: When you tell somebody, ‘I love you”. “Al Yankovic got me onto Twitter, and in one day I had 100,000 followers”.
But as with any Ryan Murphy show, this realistic set-up quickly comes untethered from reality, and soon we’re dealing with a mass killer who dresses in an elaborate red devil costume; Chanel’s screechy instructions to a barista to heat her pumpkin spice latte to her preferred warmth (120 degrees); and such punishments as pushing one character’s face into boiling frying-oil. “So I think she just met me to ask questions about the new season, to be honest!!”
“Horror movies are not known for (the quality of) their language (scripts) so the idea that I am in a horror comedy where I get mouthfuls of thought is fantastic”.
After getting spooked on the show, Lea jokingly vowed that she would never return to the program. When administrators force her sorority to start accepting all comers-even, Chanel says, the “fatties and ethnics” (plus, in a wicked bit of music criticism from the writers, a deaf Taylor Swift fan)-she starts to fight back in brutal ways.
“Limitless“, 10 p.m. (CBS): Brian’s life turns extraordinary after taking a mysterious drug, NZT, that lets him access his full brain capacity; an NZT-related murder puts Brian on the FBI’s radar.
“None of us during the filming knew who the killer was or if we would survive or get killed off the show”. Chanel sees Grace as a threat to her top status, and that’s only reinforced when Grace gets close to barista Pete (Diego Boneta) whom Chanel charges was an icky stalker of hers. Who knows? We don’t know where this is going to go.
But she also sees the potential.
“It is part of growing up”. “Hopefully, I don’t feel that with this show”.
Speaking of advice, Breslin’s first book will be released next month. “I scare very easily, and there is nothing about being scared that I like”.
