It's the end of the road for Ryan Murphy's transsexual drama "Pretty/Handsome."

The controversial project, exec produced by Murphy, Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner, was developed for FX, which ordered it to pilot starring Joseph Fiennes as a family man who decides to get a sex change.

The pilot, which co-starred Blythe Danner, Robert Wagner and Christopher Egan, created strong buzz around town, but in March, FX passed on it.

FX is still FOX? If so I am not surprised.
