Shirley, You’re Taking The Piss!
While news that the beautifully ginger Garbage singer Shirley Manson has been spending her time away from the band getting pissed on might seem quite shocking to some, I can only urge concerned readers to calm down as it is important to remember that we are talking about a woman who infamously did a poo on her boyfriend’s cornflakes, so really, a golden shower is kind of a step back toward the land of tame.
Oh, and also? It’s all because she’s starring as a urinal in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
She found fame as the lead singer of British band Garbage, but now Shirley Manson is a fully-fledged actress, with a starring role in a major US TV series. These tantalising photos show Manson, who stars in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, morphing from a disguise as a urinal into a terminator.
As one would expect, Shirley the Urinator Terminator goes on to unleash hell.
The Scottish singer plays Catherine Weaver, the CEO of Cyberdyne, a cutting edge hi-tech company, in the spin-off of the Terminator movies which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. Shirley’s role will be a series regular in the second season, due to air in the US later this autumn. Lena Headey stars as Sarah Connor in the show.
Wow ,I had no idea Shirley Manson was dabbling in acting! Good for her. I say that because a) I very much like her, b) watching the video clip to Vow as a fourteen year old girl made me want to be a rock star (and also, bash my fists together rhythmically before kicking into a killer chorus), and c) she frightens me, and as a general rule I prefer my breakfast cereal to be free of bowel motions.

Garbage being my first favorite band (and Shirley, subsequently, my first crush) this was a surprise, but totally welcome. Can she act? Well, she can perform, and she does reasonably well (considering this is a series not exactly lining up for emmy nominations with it’s jaw unhinged) so I’ll be tuning it, but only for her!
Sigh. What’s really frustrating about this news is that it just makes the planned solo album look like it’s even further down the pipeline. Apparently Manson’s record company thought her solo record (which has been completed for months) was too “avant garde,” and were sort of hoping she’d be the next Gwen (Glen) Stefani.
And I don’t think I bring myself to watch this awful, awful show just for her, no matter how much I love her.
“Cut my tongue out,
I’ve been caught out,
Like a giant juggernaut.
Happy hours,
Golden showers,
On a cruise to freak you out.”

Thanks for spoiling the first episode of season 2 of this series with an image and description from the cliffhanger reveal scene.
