The Hollywood Reporter has it that the cable network is currently in search of a writer to pen the film. The outlet also continually refers to the production as a “project,” shying away from specifying if it might be a movie, TV show, or limited series. Any of those forms might work for t...

Bop bop bop, bop to the top, slip and slide and ride that… “WAP”?

Ciulla began managing Manson around 1996, the same year he released his breakthrough album, Antichrist Superstar.
