I’m Only Happy When Garbage’s Shirley Manson Becomes A Regular On Fox’s TERMINATOR!!
I am – Hercules!!
Because Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” doesn't yet feature enough superhot actresses, fabulous Garbage vocalist Shirley Manson has taken a regular role on the series as a high-tech firm’s CEO.
Perhaps in this timeline she replaces Miles Dyson as the mother of SkyNet?
Find all of the Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.

Just had to say it just once!
-
When I say that I'm listening to Garbage, you can be sure that I'm listening to garbage. Shirley Manson is sort of hot though. But can she act?! I didn't know that she's an actor too.
-
i know im in the monority but i like this show. dunno if ms. garbage can act or not, so this'll be an adventure at least
-
hahhahhah WHAAAAAT?!
-
Anyone else ever see or hear Manson's first band AngelFish. Caught them when they opened for Live way back in the day and the blew the doors off the place. (The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA)
-
they were good, she knows how to work a crowd.
-
Sarah, Summer, and Shirley... someone needs to make a porn parody now, at the very least.
-
She's damn sexy and has an awesome voice, but can she act? It'd be a shame to cripple a great series in-the-making with too many b-movie performers. I'll still see every episode though!
-
when they came on, I looked over at my friend and say, "hey, do you hear that" "What" "it's...the lunch bell." terrible live action.
-
It looks like Shirley Manson is still fronting garbage.
-
Can't wait!
-
not that that's a bad thing or anything, i'm just saying folks in the us may struggle to understand her.
-
If a woman builds Skynet, it's gonna crash before it can do any harm. Thank god for quotas.
-
The show has definitely got potential. Pretty much everyone I know who has watched it really enjoyed it. Felt like it was only just starting to find it's feet in season 1. Be most interested to see where they take it in S2.
-
This is so out of left field. I'm already a regular viewer of the show, and I was really impressed by how it turned out -- and even more so by Brian Austin Greene in this show. Now I'm really curious to see how Shirley Manson works on this show.
-
as a morose Cylon.
-
I saw Garbage in concert (front row) and my girlfriend got mad at me for sporting a boner for the whole show. It's not like I whipped it out, but it was obvious -and all because of Shirley Manson. WHAT A PIECE OF ASS!
-
We now know that Kate is in the 4th movie, and this series will lead up to next summer's Terminator 4, but so far, Kate's not shown up in the show, but surely she has to at some point? But we know that Kate would be older than John by about 8 years or so because of the time-jump they did in the pilot (which rendered the T3 time-line & Sarah's cancer moot), so my money's on her being Kate. Nice!
-
I don't remember much about that character (or T3 really). Would it be logical for her to be the CEO of a tech company in 2008/9? (This scoop doesn't specifically say she is the CEO of Cyberdyne. It could be another company, perhaps one that is tied to that time travel camera technology, which was played out as an ARG.)
-
And according to the Hollywood Reporter article, Manson's character is named Catherine Weaver. Dane's character was Kate Brewster. But could Kate be short for Catherine, and Weaver is her married name?
-
Looks like I'm going to have to get a DVR between this, Chuck and Gossip Girl (shut up I know) Monday nights at 8 are too busy.
-
Summer Glau and Sarah Connor are redunk. MILF.
-
Does that mean she's moved back to the US? I was hoping to bump into her, since she lives in the same city as me.
and by 'bump' I mean 'thrust my mighty member'... -
...where everyone said that she had a lot of emotional problems and low self-esteem and thought that she was ugly. And I thought to myself, "If only I could have been in a position to exploit that low self-esteem! Damn!" Hot chicks that think they aren't hot give the best head.
-
Anyone else think this is the prime reason she's being cast here? (See video for _The World Is Not Enough_. Okay not strictly a Terminator, but close enough.)
-
One of my favorite Bond themes ever. Now bring in Rose McGowan and Morena Baccarin for more hot Terminators!
-
Good to see more hotness comming to a show that I think has real potential to become a stronger piece of the Terminator mythos than 3 and 4 can ever dream of being.
-
was the best part about that movie.
-
...Now I'll HAVE to watch this thing. That redhaired Scottish faux-goth chick is hot!
-
Good addition to the show
-
I also love the show. So Sweet.
-
Move this show to Thursday night. Just not Monday! My brain can't process high concept shows on Monday. Stick with Heroes and Prison Break where brains are not allowed!
-
Like, Sofa King hot.
-
She has that "Replicant" look about her.
-
But I'll be happy to hear her Scottish accent!
-
Shortly after the first season ended, there was a funky TERMINATOR-based viral campaign (which we were subsequently told was *not* for the new McG movie – i.e. it’s probably for SARAH CONNOR).
You can find those viral videos here: http://tinyurl.com/39sftr
They feature a high-tech company that has gained the ability to glimpse into the future, or something like that. Wonder if this is the company Manson’s heading up? Presumably, this company’s ability to glimpse the future ultimately leads to Skynet coopting it’s technology for time manipulation.
Just a theory; I have no evidence to back this up.
-
...connection it should be...
-
another anorexic, gothy emo chick? No thanks.
-
She talked shit on Radiohead. Plus I automatically lose respect for any musician who does a TV show or movie.
-
what puts me off is the FACT she likes to indulge in a bit of SCAT from time to time.
-
Listen to the lyrics of Metal Heart
-
When I see Shirley Manson, I immediately think "CEO of a tech firm."
This is...questionable casting. -
"The World Is Not Enough" is the best Bond opening song ever written. And Manson is the Hotness.
-
...and to this day, it's still one of the best (and loudest) performances I've seen - and I was just a casual Garbage fan, who has seen a LOT of great concerts in the last decade. Shirley was an incendiary presence live. You couldn't take your eyes off her, she was all over the stage. She's basically the prototype for the chick from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and I think she's going to turn out to be a surprisingly good actress.

Now, if only Summer and Lena's breasts could make a guest appear
by kdoc13
Shirley Manson is good too. Who doesn't like a Scottish Redhead? But Lena looked good in 300. The only thing about 300 that looked good. And Summer Glau is hot in anything.
By the way, "The World is Not Enough" was good, but "Goldeneye," "Live & Let Die" and "Nobody Does It Better" are arguably the three best Bond songs. -
If someone told me a year ago that I'd be digging a modestly budgeted TERMINATOR TV series with none other than Brian Austin Green as a badass soldier from the future, I'd have said they needed their medication adjusted, but here we are...
-
..on this show. Leave the realism elsewhere, I say.
This is cool news made cooler by the fact that it seems to come out of nowhere - I had no idea Shirley Manson was even interested in acting. -
The World is not enough is the best bond theme? Are u on crack? try We Have All The Time in The World, Nobody Does it better, LIve & Let Die...even the more obvious like goldfinger would come before that dross.
-
WTF is with the "let's use rappers and singers as actors?" I swear to God, "Casting Agent" must be THE most OVER RESPECTED job title ever. Is there a shortage of REAL actresses in Hollywood?
-
best Bond song?...I really like the theme from Casino Royale...'You know my name' by Chris Cornell
-
But I have to admit I liked that "Stupid Girl" song. It was clearly written about one of my exes -- the one with the good coke connection who basically destroyed herself.
-
So underrated.... So incredibly hot...
-
Live and Let Die is the world-beater, though. I'm a huge Garbage freak, but I did not enjoy its Bond song.
And Shirley's not anorexic; she's just crazy tall. -
You're in the minority there, Herc. It's okay to be in the minority, but saying that this song is "incredible" is on the same level of shock-value absurdity as talkbackers who say "Batman Begins SUCKED".
-
if incredible means SPHINCTER-PICKLES
-
looks like its going to be a good series with a heavy following for a long time coming. I'm liking this series already.
-
YOU KNOW MY NAME was about as far from a Bond song - let alone an incredible Bond song - as I could have imagined. It was only even an average Chris Cornell song. Bring back the chicks with smoky voices!
-
It was sexy, the lyrics were awesome,it was written from the point of view of the villain and Shirley sounded sultry as fuck. Live and Let Die? That was gay as fuck. The GnR cover was better.
-
Was pretty damn cool. Lots of videos and cool stuff that led you to all kinds of places like face book and phony news articles on Google. They didn't develop the technology though, they found it.. Check it out if you have some time.

The best thing about "You know my name" was the intro
by blindambition238
After the excellent gun barrel sequence, the opening chords that hit immediately after do a great job of adding an exclamation point to the brutal opening. The last time a Bond intro actually got my adrenaline going was probably Live and Let Die or Living Daylights. That being said, as a single by itself "YKMN" wasnt anything too special and slightly generic, but thank god for Cornell's voice. He really should have just brought in the rest of his Audioslave friends to give it some extra dimension, especially since now we know Tom Morello isn't adverse to doing a bit of movie music with Iron Man.

Also, just for 'the lolz', my 5 overall favorite bond tunes
by blindambition238
1. A View to a Kill- Duran Duran
2. World is Not Enough- Garbage
3. Live and Let Die- Wings
4. The Living Daylights- aHa
5. Thunderball- Tom Jones -
I will rip John Connor's heart out and watch him bleed...
aaahhhaaahhhhaaaaahhhhhaaaahhaahh... -
Sung by Shirley Bassey. Cmon, its no frikkin' contest.
-
you cunts need to get out more, shes a fuckin pig
-
Even at 40 years old, she's still the sort of girl that'd turn my head.
As to Bond music, I prefered Tommorrow Never Dies, actually. Not the film, the song. -
1) I saw Shirley in person after a concert, a few feet away (I met the band while they were signing autographs). She is not tall. But quite a hottie nonetheless.
2)Garbage haters, go fuck yourselves, and resume listening to Evanescence.
3)My favorite bond themes: Thunderball, OHMSS (All the Time in the World), Moonraker, Live and Let Die, and You Know My Name. -
Nobody does it better. Original name of Garbage was going to be "Rectal Drip". True. And I like Garbage and fucking loved "Only Happy When It Rains"
-
Goldfinger - Dame Burly Chassis
-
This makes it a little more interesting. She's been a musician and model, but can she act? Even she's admitted that she doesn't think she is pretty or beautiful in the conventional sense. It's her persona and cocksureness that makes her hot (Angelina Jolie is the same way). If they allow that to come through, it might work.
-
Madonna. And there have been some fucking howlers as well- but that one is head and shoulders above the rest
-
Aural boners.
-
This is THE best Bond theme. It also had the best title sequence.
-
Ok, now i have a reason to watch the stupid show.
-
Shirley's first proper band was 'Goodbye Mr Mackenzie' although she might have been in a tin pot band before that....
Ahhh the Mackenzie's - great little band.... -
...and mercilessly flirting with a hotel clerk for hours on end because she looked just like Shirley Manson, but with brown, rather than shockingly red hair. Could tell I was starting to annoy her but she was sweet enough to put up with me. She even lifted her blouse to show me a quick glimpse of her navel piercing. Nice girl and she had the sexiest Scottish accent. Good times. Think I'll go have some shots of Cardhu and toast hot Scottish girls everywhere!
-
"Love is required, whenevah he is hired!"...Ok, maybe not. But his gun was fun to use in Goldeneye on N64 when you wanted to anger your buddies!
-
...people you will ever meet, that Shirley. I've met her a few times, with 6 or 7 year gaps, and she always remembers me (I really am not that memorable) and buys me drinks. That makes her a saint in my book, hope she can flippin' act.
