Chloe Sevigny Plays the Ex-Game: After getting her limbs torn off on American Horror Story, Chloe Sevigny was probably relieved when she landed her next gig: she’ll be playing Danny’s (Chris Messina) ex-wife on the very recently renewed Fox sitcom The Mindy Project. Sevigny’s character is an accomplished war photographer named Christina, who comes to town to wine and dine Danny… again. She’s on board for at least three episodes, which will begin airing in April.

The Walking Dead Meets The Exorcist: You wish! The closest we’ll get to Linda Blair’s spinning head on TV is Robert Kirkman‘s new comic book and horror series combo, set in the world of exorcisms.

Now an adult, he embarks on a spiritual journey to find answers but what he uncovers could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.” The project still needs a network, but given Kirkman’s reputation, we’re not too worried about a pilot order.
