Evan Peters to Play Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer in Ryan Murphy Show

Evan Peters and Jeffrey Dahmer

The American Horror Story alumnus will star in Netflix's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

Evan Peters has a killer new part.

The American Horror Story alumnus — known for his depictions of creepy and villainous characters in the FX series — will sink his teeth into Jeffrey Dahmer in Netflix's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, reports Deadline.

Created by Ryan Murphy, the limited series will also feature Niecy Nash, Penelope Ann Miller, and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water) as Dahmer's father, Lionel, a chemist who shows his child how to preserve animal bones — a chilling preparation for what's to come.

As previously announced, Monster will be co-created by Ian Brennan, Murphy's longtime collaborator on shows including Glee, Scream Queens, and The Politician. Pose's Janet Mock has also signed on for writing and directing. Mock will serve as an executive producer with Murphy, Brennan, and Carl Franklin (Mindhunter), who will direct the pilot.

Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, Dahmer killed 17 men and boys in his lifetime. Many of the bodies were dismembered, cannibalized, preserved, and subjected to acts of necrophilia. He eventually received life imprisonment for his crimes and was beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994 at age 34.

Monster also calls to mind another Murphy production, FX's The Assassination of Gianni Versace, which followed spree killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss).

It marks the latest iteration of Netflix's deal with Murphy, who also helmed The Boys in the Band, The Politician, Hollywood, and Ratched. Mock, who also has a deal with the platform, was an executive producer of Hollywood as well.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
