Ryan Murphy Threatened To Sue A Striking WGA Member!

By

Ryan Murphy, seen above contemplating how many shows he can ruin after the first episode - "Great premise! Now drive it off a cliff!" he orders his writers - was getting ugly with the WGA right before the actors strike. Or more specifically, with WGA member and former strike captain, Warren Leight. Why? Because Warren, as reported to the Hollywood Reporter, tweeted that crew members for "American Horror Story" told him they'd be "blackballed in Murphy-land" if they didn't cross the picket line.  


No, getting blackballed in Murphy-land by the likes of Lady Gaga is not the latest horror being offered up - or rather, perpetrated - by the uber-producer. And frankly, I believe Warren (don't sue, Ryan!) (this is a parody site!) (ah hahahahaha!). Ryan is known to be a nasty piece of work, who, with the exception of Jessica Lange, has offered up - or, rather, perpetrated - a veritable smorgasbord of questionable talent. 


AnywayletsleaveJessicaoutofthis, after Warren's tweet, Ryan sent a pissy letter threatening to sue the WGA, which prompted Warren to issue a surely mumbled apology. And though Ryan is a WGA member, he pinky-swore that he wasn't doing any writing on the three - count 'em, three - shows he had shooting in New York. Insert "Sure, Jan" gif. 

Yet it's all moot now that SAG has joined in the historic double-union strike with the WGA. And Ryan, who's leaving Netflix and the mega-millions they'd offered him - what's up with that? - is returning to Fox/Disney in a deal that is certainly not worth mega-millions. Maybe Ryan, who'll continue to do new seasons for his two successful Netflix offerings, "Monster" and the scarcely-bearable, "The Watcher," is more comfortable at his previous home. After all, the new season of "America Horror Story" will be offering up, or rather, perpetrating, its most horrifying season yet:

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
