 LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Scottish musician Shirley Manson, lead singer with the rock group Garbage, has joined the cast of Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," which begins its second season in the fall. The flame-haired vocalist will play Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company. The "Terminator" movie spinoff stars Lena Headey in the title role and youngster Thomas Dekker as future rebel leader John Connor. Garbage, famed for the tunes "Only Happy When It Rains" and "Stupid Girl" from its self-titled 1995 album, has been quiet since releasing a hits package last year. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter |

Shirley stopped by the offices today and she is awesomeness personified. This isn't slumming for her-- she is tremendously excited about this and working her butt off to live up to the audition that blew away the studio and network executives-- most of whom had no idea who she was.

Now, this one I'm extremely curious about. It's got that far cry of edge to it that BAG had to his role, when he first came into play.
Eagerly awaiting to see her in action next season.

So another Brit on the show.
Is she going to be using her scottish accent or a fake american one?

Oohh I hadn't heard about this one yet. Big fan of Garbage, so having Shirley on my favorite show should be amazing. I would love to see her on screen for a change instead of on stage  The Season 2 wait will be even harder now..  |

I was really happy to hear about this as I'm a huge fan of Garbage (a very underrated group for their time) and I've always had a soft spot for Shirley Manson.
Shirley & Summer on the same show = one great hour for Chris. :-)

I have no idea who she is, but everyone seems really excited about her. She looks like she'll be a great addition. |

You should check out her band "Garbage", they're really good and highly underrated. |

^ I shall! Any good song suggestions? "Paranoid", "Vow", "Only Happy When It Rains", "Tell Me Where It Hurts", "Run Baby Run", "Bleed Like Me", and "Cherry Lips" are pretty great. They have A LOT of great songs, though. |
