Garbage rocker joins "Terminator" TV spinoff

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.
