Ryan Murphy may
leave Nip/Tuck

Nip/Tuck, the FX series about the lives and loves of two plastic surgeons, is on a critical and popular high. Still, the show's openly gay creator, Ryan Murphy, may be leaving it behind, according to the Los Angeles Times. "We absolutely intend to have Ryan back and will negotiate fully to make that happen," said Peter Liguori, FX's president and CEO, about the fact that Murphy's contract with the network has not yet been renewed. But Murphy tells the Times, "I really have no idea what I'm going to do." One thing that Murphy will definitely do is go into production as writer-director of the movie version of Augusten Burroughs's harrowing and hilarious childhood memoir Running with Scissors, which is set to star Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Brian Cox.
