BREAKING NEWS!!! A NEW “Christian Grey” has been found!

October 23, 2013 By Maryse 35 Comments

As per this article on “Variety” actorΒ Jamie Dornan (from that show “Once Upon A Time“) will be playing the role of Fifty! I had a mini-crush on him when we used to watch this show (so YAY!), but then again I had a crush on Charlie Hunnam too, so… *smirk* πŸ˜‰

He also used to model (Calvin Klein model, even…) Ohhhh… I just found those. *grins*

I hope this time it works out, and I hope Jamie will rock our worlds!! Dakota Johnson remains on board for her role as Anastasia (I’m thinking the chemistry was still pretty good?) read more

Latest Fifty Shades of Grey News! Charlie Hunnam drops out of his Christian Grey movie role…

October 12, 2013 By Maryse 28 Comments

  • Whoa!!! Charlie Hunnam just dropped out of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie and now they have to find a new Christian Grey. They’re saying his TV show schedule will not allow him enough time to prepare for his role, however sources are mentioning “cold feet” from the incredible amount of attention he’s garnered. Check out the article I read on Hollywood Reporter, here. The above tweeted screenshot from author E.L. James appears to confirm this.
  • Here’s an older article (on IBTimes) indicating the actor’s initial struggles with the role. (sidenote —> I get that. My husband and I were discussing just how BIG this role (and the expectations) will be and I can’t imagine the kind of attention (good and bad) he must have been getting since the announcement).

    In The News… Fifty Shades of Grey & A Sticky Situation

    July 10, 2012 By Maryse 10 Comments

    Oh boy! My husband just called me saying he heard something on the radio about someone getting splashed with barbecue sauce ’cause of something that has to do with Fifty Shades of Grey. He said…

    “I think the guy read it and didn’t like the book or something, so he splashed someone with BBQ sauce.”

    Err…. say what!? LOL! So while on the phone with him, I did a search and sure enough… I found it here on BarstoolSports.com, and here is the original news article on The Telegraph. read more
