Fifty Shades of Grey

WOULD YOU PAY TO SEE TWO SEQUELS OF FIFTY SHADES OF GREY?

Since “Fifty Shades of Grey” just passed the 500 million dollar mark internationally, the pressure is ON for a follow up. A rumor circulated that Jamie Dornan was NOT interested in doing a sequel, but that turned out NOT to be true. Money TALKS! Jamie only earned around $100,000 for the first “Shades”(and we assume Dakota Johnson earned a bit more) It’s rumored that he can expect to be paid around fifteen million for two sequels. Does the world really WANT two sequels? We were disappointed in the movie and wonder if many ticket buyers would do it again.

Boxoffice Fifty Shades of Grey

DID YOU THINK “FIFTY SHADES OF GREY” WAS SEXY?

Marketing for “Fifty Shades of Grey” has been brilliant. it opened in 58 countries simultaneously and pulled in 158 million dollars in one long Valentines weekend. As delighted as Universal Studios execs are, we wonder if people who paid to see the film are anywhere near as satisfied. We were lucky to be invited to a screening and agree with Madonna that the movie was NOT sexy. Jamie Dornan’s character Christian was rather prissy and kept hinting there was a dark reason for his dominant predilections, but we never learned what it was. In fact, there really was no plot. It was like half a book was filmed, and the overly long movie ended abruptly without much happening. Of course, negative word of mouth won’t matter, because big money has already been made.

Sisters Jackie Collins and Joan Collins had dinner together at Craig’s this week.

Collins claims that HER leading women are NOT PASSIVE. “My heroines kick ass. They don’t get their asses kicked.”

Empire Fifty Shades of Grey Rita Ora

RITA ORA IN FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK

British singer Rita Ora is slipping through LAX doing her best imitation of Diane Keaton from the hat down. Rita’s acting career is opening up – she and Jennifer Hudson just signed to guest star on the hip hop drama Empire. And Rita plays Christian’s sister Mia in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” It’s funny how she got that role. Rita approached producers, hoping to contribute a song to the movie, and they insisted she audition and gave her the acting job!

Dakota Johnson Fifty Shades of Grey Melanie Griffith Real Estate

MELANIE GRIFFITH HOPES TO KEEP DAUGHTER DAKOTA JOHNSON CLOSE TO HOME

Melanie Griffith is shopping for a new place for her 24 year old daughter Dakota Johnson to live, and her first stop was The El Royale, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The building is just blocks from Melanie and Antonio Banderas’s home in Hancock Park. Dakota’s busy in Toronto filming Fifty Shades of Grey, while Melanie checks out the real estate. The El Royale is a historic building built in 1929 and designed by the same architect who did the Chateau Marmont. Lots of old Hollywood glamour, and the average rental is about $3,500 mo. (24 hour doorman – safe for a single girl) And of course everybody from Clark Gable and Loretta young to Josh Brolin and Katie Holmes have called the place home. Best of all, it’s right down the street from us, so maybe we’ll get some scoops!

Dogs Fifty Shades of Grey Jamie Dornan

JAMIE DORNAN HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR POOCHES

Jamie Dornan, currently filming “Fifty Shades of Grey” in Vancouver, is definitely not as fierce as the character he plays. Jamie was filming a scene where he ran down the street and while doing so he startled a little dog (probably an extra.) When the director yelled cut, Jamie ran back to make friends and pat the little dog on the head.

Dakota Johnson Fifty Shades of Grey Jamie Dornan

DAKOTA JOHNSON OR JAMIE DORNAN: WHO’S THE BOSS IN “FIFTY SHADES OF GREY?”

70 million copies of “Fifty shades of Grey” have been sold and we wonder if the readers will be satisfied with movie cast compared to what they pictured in their minds. Jamie Dornan, who plays businessman Christian is 24, the same age as Dakota Johnson, who plays college student Ana. Above, they’re in frigid Vancouver rehearsing a scene in front of the Grey Enterprises office building. What’s in the envelope? We’re told it’s a sexual contract detailing Christian’s bedroom demands.

Charlie Hunnam Dakota Johnson Fifty Shades of Grey Sons of Anarchy

CHARLIE HUNNAM: SO MANY QUESTIONS, SO FEW ANSWERS

Something is very fishy about the fact that Charlie Hunnam walked away from his leading role in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The “Sons of Anarchy” hunk claimed he was too busy filming his TV series. As if he didn’t know about that before he signed up! There’s a lot more to this than meets the eye. Was Charlie offended by the aggressive “Fifty Shades” fans who thought he was miscast and made a huge fuss? (He was basically unknown before this, but we were looking forward to seeing him suited up in the part) ) Did the fact that producers hired a bodyguard for him, scare him off? Did he really quit or was he quietly paid off under the table and sent packing? What’s going to happen to the movie and his costar Dakota Johnson? Will the new leading man be paired up with someone else? Will we ever know the truth? Do we care?
