- The husband of EL James, the woman who wrote the Fifty Shades Of Grey series, says that Ryan Gosling is set to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation. Listen, I would LOVE FOR THIS TO BE TRUE. In fact, he was my first choice when I was fantasy casting the movie. But I don’t believe it for a second because Ryan, let’s face it, is too classy and smart for that crap. It’s not like he’s a James Franco-type who does bad shit as “performance art.” [The Stir]

Fifty Shades of Grey! Fifty Shades of Grey! Fifty Shades of … ahhhh! Somebody get me an aspirin. I have not read this book.I have no plans to read this book.

Care For Some “Fifty Shades Of Grey” Dessert?

Bret Easton Ellis is the newest director being tossed into the ring to helm the Fifty Shades of Grey movie adaptation and he’s suggesting everyone’s favorite first love, Ryan Gosling, for the hard spanking, nipple clamping, domineering lead.
American Psycho and Rules of Attraction author, Ellis, is clearly no stranger to working with taboo subjects and is pitching his ideas to the studio to take the controversial and mega-successful movie on. He took to twitter to dig up some conversation over who should play the key romantic roles of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey. To say a few people are interested is an understatement.

What sort of deviant wants to be spanked or tied up or told they’re a “bad girl”? I’ll tell you: about 60 percent of my friends — mostly women, but some men, too.
