Ryan Murphy takes a turn for the horrifying from his claim to fame “Glee” with the new FX show “American Horror Story.” “American Horror Story” follows the events of the Harmon family once the move to Los Angeles and start living in a new home. The Harmon’s slowly being to realize that there’s something strange about their new home. As they begin to uncover the history of the house, they learn that they are living in what’s known as The Murder House and that the unexplainable events that begin to take over their lives are a result of the house its self and that they are not in control.
This week’s episode, “Spooky Little Girl,” looks into the famous historical Black Dahlia murder that happened at the home and the ghost of Elizabeth Short comes back to the Murder House. During the episode it is revealed that the twins Vivien is pregnant with each have different fathers. For the audience, the mystery of the rubber man becomes even more interesting but throughout the episode Ben is conflicted by this news and questions Vivien’s faithfulness.
“The plot is explosively taking a twisted turn even more so than the usual,” Mason Marcum, a fan of the show, explains.
After the twist of discovering Tate is the Rubber Man, this week’s episode goes more in depth as to why Tate’s character would take on two identities as well as the consequences of his careless actions. As the episodes of this season continue to air the web of events becomes more and more tangled.

If you ask some people what they love the most about this time of year, they would describe one special day this season that displays wonder and is filled with angels… I’m talking about the “2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show”, of course. The fashion show on CBS gave viewers a chance to get a sneak peck of the new holiday products at Victoria’s Secret as well as see the elaborate angel-winged outfits that only grace the catwalk on the world known Victoria’s Secret models deservingly known as the Victoria’s Secret Angels. Along with the beautiful angles that graced the runway there were preforms from music favorites such as Maroon 5, Watch the Throne duo Jay-Z and Kanye West, Super Bass rapper Nicki Minaj closed the show.
“My favorite part was the behind the scenes of how the models were handpicked and seeing the detail of each outfit being put together,” Cara Weathers, an employee at the Victoria’s Secret located in Fair Oakes, explains.
The show is perfect for everyone whether you want to admire the beautiful designer lingerie and the gorgeous woman wear them. I’m sure the spectacle of annual fashion show invaded everyone’s dorm room, girls and boys alike. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion was the perfect hour distraction filled with music, fashion, and beautiful people.

The up-beat Fox show “Glee” tackles the topic of coming out the closet to loved-ones in this week’s episode. After being “outed” Santana is forced to comfort her family about her sexuality before they find out through political ad against Sue. Finn’s suggestion to make the lesson of the week “Lady Music Week” leads to a fun group rendition of Kathy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” by the girls of New Directions and the Trouble Tones and a swoon-worthy serenade of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” by Finn to Santana.
“I really liked when Santana came out to her grandmother,” Stuart McDonald, fan of the show, explained.
Though it is realistic, watching Santana’s grandmother turn away from her as Santana explains that she is gay makes for a tragic moment. “Glee” isn’t new to the topic of disapproving family members (Quinn’s pregnancy confession to her parents), it’s always hard to watch a character the audience has grown to care about be hurt by her own loved-ones.
Along with Santana’s decision to come out the closet, the episode showed a heart-broken Coach Beiste and finally holds the high school presidency elections as well as the Congressional elections. Overall, this episode shows the vulnerabilities in many of the characters. The episode ends with Santana singing a ballad and expressing thanks to the members of New Direction and the Trouble because she finally understands that she is not alone.
New episodes air Tuesday nights at 8 and to catch up on the season Hulu.com has most of the previous episodes!
