So wait. Is Jessica Lange in American Horror Story Season 6 or not?!

Just realized I've lived in LA for six years as of yesterday and I still haven't gotten stoned with Jennifer Aniston.

30, huh?

Can't stop staring at this perfect photo of two of my favorite icons. I would give anything to be Melanie's cigarette or Goldie's feet.

It just dawned on me that I've been wearing a turban for the past hour without even Instagramming it. Fixed though.

Just spent a solid 10 minutes explaining why I'm so proud of Eve Plumb.

Last night was the finale "Scream After Dark" special, my little after show mini series for MTV's "Scream". This came about in the weirdest way, by which I mean my agents called me one day which I usually assume means I'm getting dropped, but they were actually calling with good news about hosting an after show for MTV, and not just MTV but "Scream". I've always been a big "Scream" fan and a few years ago they started staffing the first season of the TV series and I went in on a few interviews about writing on it. It was the closest I had gotten to staff writing on a scripted show and not just a scripted show but one I was actually interested in so I was so, so, so excited. And I really thought it was going to happen. It felt like it would, in that way that things sometimes actually feel right and you feel less like you've just conned a room full of people into thinking you can do something you have zero idea how to do (a feeling I have 99% of the time). Then it didn't happen. A few days before Christmas (why is it always right before Christmas?) they called to say it wasn't moving forward and I was DEVASTATED. And furious. And inevitably, a Dickensian level of depressed. Which, at the very least, worked for that time of year. So then, cut to almost two years later, when they call and offer me a gig hosting their after show it was a nice moment of disappointment leading to something better. It literally combined everything I wanted: to be a part of the "Scream" universe, to feel like Andy Cohen, and to make money. It's been a cool summer of feeling a tiny bit more special that I was on TV again and not just on TV but doing something I felt genuinely proud of. So I'm going to try and hold onto this as a reminder that sometimes when shit is falling apart, it's only leading to something so much better. SOMETIMES Oprah isn't just gorgeously infuriating, sometimes she is right. Anyway. Thanks @MTV and everyone who watched.

@johnmilhiser and I show you how blood is made on tonight's Scream After Dark. It's deeply unsettling. Watch it on @MTV!

Set your DVR for the finale of Scream After Dark on MTV following the Scream finale at 10pm this Tuesday. It's important enough for them to put me in a tie but not important enough for them to make sure it was straightened.
