Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie, M&Ms and pretzels, Sundays and crossword puzzles. Life is always better when two of your favorite things merge together in an unholy union of sinful sensations. Such is the joy I am getting from “Scream Queens,” VH1’s new show that takes my two favorite pop culture pleasures – horror movies and reality TV – tosses them into a blender and pours me a tall glass of awesome.
