Ryan Murphy News

Deadline.com reports that Matt Bomer, Lucy Griffiths and Eva Marie Saint have signed on for Akiva Goldsman's upcoming film WINTER'S TALE.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker will make her first appearance as Isabelle Wright, the eccentric editor of Vogue.com and mentor to Chris Colfer's Kurt, in the September 27th episode of GLEE titled 'Makeover.' Get a first look below!

Ryan Murphy is a very busy man these days. With three televisions shows on the air (Glee, American Horror Story, and the New Normal), he is also working on bringing the Tony-winning The Normal Heart to the big screen. Murphy recently revealed in an interview with Vogue: ' I like people who are like, You know what? I don't care what you think. I have something to say. That's why I like Larry Kramer. That's why I want to do that movie.'

This week saw the premieres of not one, but two of the biggest entertainment extravaganzas currently on show in the vast TV landscape, both on Fox - the season two debut of the reinvented reboot of the reality singing competition show THE X FACTOR (with Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as new judges), as well as the season four premiere of the returning, albeit re-jiggered, half-NYC-set GLEE (with a memorable Kate Hudson, and, also, Sarah Jessica Parker joining next week). While one may have been more successful than the other in pulling off its grand switcheroo (especially insofar as overall transitional smoothness, THE X FACTOR really seems to be finding its voice, pardon the puns), the sheer enjoyment levels achieved by each was enough to make both recommendable and worthy of review given their intrinsic ties to the performing arts realm and their exploration, exhibition and employment of the titular x factor. Individuals with that oh-so-unmistakable allure were on ample display both on THE X FACTOR and GLEE, making both properties once again worth revisiting each week this year, like last year - look no further than jaw-dropping X FACTOR audition of Carly Rose Sonenclar for clear-cut proof of that. Plus, next week, THE X FACTOR and GLEE shall share a similar theme when GLEE gets 1,2,3 (or, more to the point: 5,6,7,8) with a second Britney Spears tribute, "Britney 2.0"
