Fifty Shades of Grey role too spicy for me: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has said that taking up the role of Anna Steele in the movie adaptation of the erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey, will be too much for her. The former Disney star has already made a parody video based on E. L. James’ steamy best-selling novel about a young college graduate, 

who is introduced to the world of bondage and kinky sex by manipulative billionaire Christian Grey but said that taking on the role in the upcoming film adaptation would be a step too far.

“I only read the beginning of it, because when they told me about the skit, I didn’t know what it was about. So I started to read it, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is spicy.’ So I thought it was good, it was intriguing,” Contactmusic quoted the teen star as telling MTV News.

“I don’t think I would [take on the role]. I know I’m taking risks, but I don’t think I could do that! That would be a little too much for me. I think someone older should do that part,” she said.

Recently, American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis had suggested that Scarlett Johansson should take on the role and had even offered to write the script.

In a series of tweets which have now been deleted from his Twitter account, he wrote: “I’m putting myself out there to write the movie adaptation [of Fifty Shades Of Grey]... This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

Kristen Stewart attacked by conservative group

Kristen Stewart is in wicked trouble now. Something called the Culture and Media Institute is having a big problem with her role in On The Road, which premiered this week in Cannes.

Apparently the Culture and Media Institute believes that womenfolk actress types should only play chaste infantilized characters forever and ever.

According to radaronline, Dan Gainor of the CMI says, “In the film On The Road, Kristen Stewart engages in a threesome and masturbates two male characters according to reports. How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilight movies explain this?”

Leaving aside the preposterous idea that it’s someone else’s responsibility to step in when you’re unable to make your mouth form the words needed to explain the facts of life to your children, what about Robert Pattinson’s turn in the — by all accounts — equally depraved Cosmopolis? What? Hmmm? Also: Are the parents, who took their daughters to see Twilight aware that in Breaking Dawn a grown man falls in love with a baby?

Not a mention. Let’s instead hear what he has to say about the behaviour of grown women:

“We’ve watched and been saddened by the parade of former Disney stars getting used, so that any wholesome image they have is destroyed — Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus and more.

“But it’s not just them. It’s a common theme from actresses like Elizabeth Berkley from Saved by the Bell who appeared in the tawdry Showgirls or Anne Hathaway who went from every girl’s dream role model in the Princess Diaries to a nude scene with Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and Other Drugs.” Showgirls tawdry? Wash out your mouth.

“Then there’s Jessica Alba who grew up from appearing in the TV show Flipper to a starring role in the sick and abusive The Killer Inside Me.”

Meanwhile, Stewart said about filming the scene with Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley, "I wanted to do [the scene]. I love pushing. I love scaring myself. I've always wanted to get as close to an experience as I could."
