These days everyone's still talking about that damn 50 Shades of Grey book. Personally, I never understood the big deal. Nearly every novel has sex in it, right?
Nevertheless, I forced myself to read all three books. Don't get me wrong, the first one or two sex scenes were intriguing I guess, but they are basically repeated every 10 pages. For the next two books. Over and over. Gets old.
I guess it doesn't bother anyone else because even celebrities can't stop talking about it. Some are dying to land the lead roles of Christian Grey and Ana Steele in the film adaptation and who can blame them? With the amount of money the books are making, it's franchise gold.

Sigh. Check out who's saying what:
Ian Somerhalder
"I absolutely would be up for that. I have the book and I just started reading it. That would be a pretty incredible thing, and hopefully that could pan out. Yes, beyond the shadow of a doubt I think that would be a phenomenal opportunity!"
Hilary Duff
"I feel a little dirty reading that book right now. Personally, I would love if Ryan Gosling would do it, but I know he never would."
Lucy Hale
"I just finished the first [book]– I’m speechless. I’m really curious to see how they’re going to turn it into a film."
Ryan Seacrest
"I'm obsessed. I'm using it as a manual. I think it can be a study book for a lot of people."
Miley Cyrus
"Reading Fifty Shades of Grey next to the oldest dude ever. #awkward."
Alexander Skarsgard
"Where do I sign? He's got a sex chamber? My character [Eric Northman] has that on True Blood. He's got his little dungeon. I was born to play that part."
Ashley Benson
"I've read every book. I want to play Anastasia."
Chris Pine
"It’d be a hell of a choice for me, I think. It sounds like an interesting film."
Kristen Stewart
"It’s funny — Rob [Pattinson] and Wyck [Godrey], our producer, were talking about it. I’ve heard it’s quite sexy, very titillating."
Victoria Beckham
"I’m halfway through the second one… I even bought my mum the book! Every time she tries to engage in conversation about it, I kind of dodge the subject. I don’t really want to talk to my mum about S&M!"
