Emma Roberts wants 'Fifty Shades' gig



Emma Roberts wants to appear in Fifty Shades of Grey.

The 21-year-old actress admits she hasn't read the steamy novel — which follows a young college graduate who is introduced to the world of bondage and kinky sex by manipulative billionaire Christian Grey — but would like the lead role in the proposed movie adaptation because she wants to do something "racy".

She said: "Everyone says read Fifty Shades of Grey. I don't really understand. But everyone on the plane was reading it, and I was like, 'I should probably just get it.'"

"I haven't read it, I don't even understand, but yeah, it sounds awesome. Anything racy, hot. Sure, let's get hot."


While Roberts is keen to take on the role, Selena Gomez — who made a parody video based on E. L. James' novel — recently ruled out appearing in the film because it is too "spicy" for her.

She said: "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."

"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."

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

In a series of tweets which have now been deleted from his 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."

"Thinking more conventionally for Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey...Scarlett Johansson or Kristen Stewart."

so I was seeing this guy for a minute who is really obsessed with Mario and at first I was like "ummm ..." but now I'm seeing that mere mortals are unable to resist - men, women, gay, straight. IT TRANSCENDS.

here's a contribution of my englanders, though I know it does not quite compare!

That's Stevie and..?

Andy Carroll, formerly fat and useless, now back in form nearly to the level of his Newcastle days



both ab-wise and playing-wise ...!

true, he really can't compare to the SNT or even dear Mario, but still ^_^

Oh, tbh I've never really seen him play cause I don't follow the EPL. Only have heard bad things about him :/
jollygoodthat 22nd-Jun-2012 02:31 am (UTC)
lol well he was a really hyped and (lbr) over-paid desperation signing for LFC when Fernando Torres left, and he has really been a pile of shit until about the last 3 months of this season. Now playing for England he's actually worthy of people wanting him to start - something LFC didn't even want to do last winter. but he's looking good now so as an LFC fan i'm pleased, hah, and excited for next year.

i'm guessing your a Bayern fan then? Bundesliga?
ztrellitaa 22nd-Jun-2012 02:33 am (UTC)
I'm actually a Barcelona fan, so La Liga for me. I am just a really big supporter of Gomez's nakedness.

I did find Bayern interesting this Champions League, so I might try to start catching their games next season.

omg hai culé hai! Barca is my "other" team - my heart belongs to Liverpool but it was the SNT who got me back into soccer and I will always support them (though Barca is my chosen team - there's a long story about how I went to Spain with 2 friends after the WC and we slowly started choosing our sides ... they went Madrista on me ... and we're sort of not friends now #oop)

a few of my friends are casual Bayern fans and really like them - I think they are definitely going to be a force for awhile so I should probably learn more about them, hah.

No flaws found in your support of Mario's nakedness though.

YAY, I love seeing culés at ONTD. I feel this place is full of madridistas lol.

I'm jelly that you've gone to Spain, dying to visit.
jollygoodthat 22nd-Jun-2012 03:10 am (UTC)
haha YES i agree, there are definitely some very vocal madridistas around. we culés have to stick together ^_^ I feel like we are in hiding ...

Spain was a lot of fun, despite the fact that I was sick as heck during most of our visit. We were in Madrid and then Barcelona during two of the clasicos last year - didn't get in to the matches of course, but just being there when it was happening was amazing. Unfortunately we were in Barcelona when Barca lost and I was certain my Madridista friends were going to get shived but sadly they didn't (lol). i hope you get to go one day though, it's really fun and low key and lovely!

He can do a header like a beast. A best. Groowwrrr.

But a lot of our England team is kinda not pretty though. The prettiest lad on our team is Theo Walcott.

BUT THE ABS, STEVIE. THE ABS
