Gus Kenworthy Cast In Season 9 Of 'American Horror Story'

Gus Kenworthy

Gus Kenworthy, out Olympic skier and all-around hottie, has been cast in one of my favorite shows and I am shook!

Hollywood super-producer Ryan Murphy broke the news this morning on Instagram (cause that’s how news happens these days) that gorgeous Gus has been cast in the next installment of American Horror Story.

The social media post featured a pic of a grinning Gus with the caption, “That special moment when you realize you have an Olympic medal AND will be playing Emma Roberts’ boyfriend on ‘American Horror Story’ Season 9.”

Gus replied to the post with a giant “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

AHS alum Colton Haynes chimed in writing, “Ahhhhhh, so happy for u @guskenworthy!!! Ur gonna be soooo amazing and so happy ur finally getting into acting!!!”

That special moment when you realize you have an Olympic medal AND will be playing Emma Roberts’ boyfriend on “American Horror Story” Season 9.

Over on his own Instagram, Gus shared Murphy’s post writing, “I guess the cat's out of the bag... I'm So F*cking Shook ILYSM @mrrmurphy” complete with applause, crying and love-struck emojis.

Out actor Charlie Carver (Teen Wolf, Boys in the Band) blessed the “Awesomeness” news , and YouTuber Max Emerson threw in a “Whoah!”

In fact, the comments on Gus’s post turned into a “who’s who” of gay Instagram including Eliad Cohen, Justin & Nick, Adam Rippon, Andy Mientus,

Gus, who won a silver medal in the men’s Slopestyle at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, told Variety last year that acting has been his dream since childhood.

He’s dabbled a bit up to now making his TV acting debut in a 2016 episode of ABC’s The Real O’Neals. He also had a cameo moment in the cult TV hit, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming.

But for the most part, Gus has let his longtime boyfriend, Matthew Wilkas (Gayby, Eastsiders), be the actor of the couple.

No word yet on a theme for the upcoming AHS, although Murphy did share TV audiences will see the witches from Season 8 again at some point.

According to TooFab, ”The witches will be back," shared Murphy in December. "Not next season, though, but we have something really fun planned."

A premiere date for American Horror Story Season 9 has not been announced at this time.

Colton Haynes Calls Out 'F*cked Up' Hollywood Execs For Not Casting More Out Actors

Arrow/Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes went on an unexplained Twitter rant last night calling out Hollywood power peeps for not hiring more openly LGBT actors.

Haynes did, however, reserve praise for Hollywood execs Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), Greg Berlanti (Arrow) and Jeff Davis (Teen Wolf) who have cast the handsome Haynes in his three most high-profile roles.

“Hollywood is so f**ked up. So much of the focus is on your personal life & has nothing to do with the talent you have to bring to the table.”

“Thank god for Ryan Murphy, Greg Berlanti, & Jeff Davis. They believe gay actors are more than just their personal lives.

“So disappointed in how Hollywood cant understand that playing a character has nothing to do with how u live your personal life.”

Haynes makes his return to Teen Wolf in the September 10 episode with fellow alum Charlie Carver as a hottie gay were-couple, and will also appear in the upcoming season of American Horror Story: Cult beginning September 5.

Hollywood is so fucked up. So much of the focus is on your personal life & has nothing to do with the talent you have to bring to the table

After his stints on horror television series' Teen Wolf and Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens, I think Colton Haynes will be quite at home as part of the upcoming 7th season of Murphy's wildly successful anthology series, American Horror Story.

Haynes confirmed the casting via Instagram posting a blood-smeared pic of his face with the caption, "American Horror Story Season 7 ... Already feels like home :) So excited @mrrpmurphy."

According to reports,  season seven’s theme will embrace aspects of the 2016 presidential election.

"American Horror Story: Hotel" Teasers

My hubby Michael loves the anthology series "American Horror Story" on FX.

Me, I get a little uncomfortable during the episodes, so I wander in and out of the room as he watches. I do like the storytelling, though.

Even in the short :15 teasers, the creativity and juxtaposition of unexpected elements is impressive.

The new season "American Horror Story: Hotel" premieres October 7.

First Look At Neil Patrick Harris on "American Horror Story: Freak Show"

Check out our first look at Neil Patrick Harris' upcoming debut on American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Apparently playing the role of a traveling saleman named "Chester," Harris would look to be some sort of magician who like to attempt the classic "saw a lady in half" routine.

Harris will appear in episodes 11 and 12 - beginning when the show returns to FX Network on January 7th at 10PM.

American Horror Story: Jessica Lange Covers Lana Del Rey's "Gods And Monsters"

If you haven't been watching this season of American Horror Story: Freak Show, you're missing out on another great performance by Jessica Lange, who does insane like nobody can :)

This season, her "Elsa Mars" is a "freak show" owner based in the 1950s who wants desperately to be a star. And inasmuch, the TV audience has been treated to several anachronistic covers of contemporary songs.

Last Friday Lange’s cover of Lana Del Rey’s "Gods and Monsters" reached the number one spot on the iTunes soundtrack charts.

"I love what [Baz Luhrmann] does with his movies like Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge where you don't play period stuff, you do stuff from all eras that fit the story," show creator Ryan Murphy told Entertainment Weekly of the show’s eclectic song choices. "So we decided we only were going to highlight musical artists who at some point in their career had identified themselves as feeling like freaks or misfits or outcasts, which our people are going through."

You can watch Lange's eclectic performance from last week's episode below:

My husband is obsessed with the anthology series. I find the stories interesting but to scary to watch. He has to fill me in after the fact.

If you like horror stories, this series delivers.

And yes, the fab Jessica Lange is back :)

Series premiere Wednesday, October 8 on FX
