"Fifty Shades of Grey" Set to Hit The Big Screen August 2014!

We can't seem to wipe the big ol' smirk off of our faces with this news! 

As if the summer wasn't getting hot enough, Focus Features has announced that they will be releasing a flick for the popular and oh-so-hot book, Fifty Shades of Grey in North America in August 2014. The book has sold more than 70 million copies worldwide in both e-book, and print, and has been translated to over 50 languages. The script, which is based on the novel written by EL James, will be adapted by Kelly Marcel. There is no set date for the international release through Universal Pictures, but it has been said that in March 2012, Focus and Universal shelled out a cool $5 million for the movie rights to the steamy trilogy.

“I’m so excited to be charged with the evolution of Fifty Shades of Grey from page to screen,” Sam Taylor-Johnson, the chosen director has stated.  “For the legions of fans, I want to say that I will honor the power of Erika’s books and the characters of Christian and Anastasia. They are under my skin, too.”

While there is no set cast as to who will play the role of Christian Grey, fans have been taking to Twitter and fan pages to make their suggestions. Some top choices are: Ryan Gosling, Henry Cavil, Alex Pettyfer, and Zac Efron. On Sunday, EL James and Rob Pattison ignited rumors that the author had made her casting call for her kinky, leading man, as she was spotted attending his private birthday bash at his Los Feliz, CA home.

 
Who would you love to see hit the big screen as Christian Grey?

Michelle Obama Joins Instagram!

Say Cheese! The First Lady is All Smiles for her Camera Phone.

If you're not hip to the Facebook owned, photo sharing platform Instagram, you better get with the program quick! The First Lady, Michelle Obama has officially beat you to the punch.

Today, Michelle Obama was all smiles in her first photo post from an account created with the handle @michelleobama, on the rapidly growing social media outlet. The newly created account skyrocketed to over 17k worth of followers, while she is only following one- @whitehouse.

The first photo (with filter and all!) posted by the First Lady captures a moment during her current trip to Africa with the caption, and hashtag: ""My first instagram! So inspired and so impressed by these extraordinary young women. -mo #FLOTUSinAfrica"

Mrs. Obama seems to be getting the hang of things, utilizing the new video option made available to Instagram users recently, posting a video of students performing a welcoming dance.

Our guess is that Mrs. O won't be using the account to post duck-lip inspired selfies...but just for fun, we hope she does!

The Kardashians Speak on North West Name & Sike Out BFFs!

As if the Kardashians didn't already have reason to smile, the birth of Kimye's new baby girl has the entire family grinning from ear to ear!

Since the birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new bundle of joy, rumors of a confirmed name have been swirling around the net. Yesterday, Kardashian ring leader/mom/momanger, Kris Jenner, took to The View confirming that the newest addition to the clan was in fact, North West.

Check out the Kardashian matriarch giving the world some insight as to why the directional name was chosen, and her stamp of "Pro-North" approval.

Now that the cat is out of the bag on the name, the world is dying to know- does little North resemble her reality television mogul Mom, or her musical superstar Dad? We know that the family has some sort of elaborate, and strategic trick up their sleeve to reveal photos to the world, all in Kardashian time. In efforts to keep photos airtight until that very moment,  reports claim that sneaky Kim K. sent around fake photos of her new baby to close friends. According to TMZ, someone in their tight knit circle, tried to hock the photos to the highest bidder. Talk about a game of trust! They say motherhood changes you, and looks like Kim is finally becoming a bit more protective of her personal life.

Guess someone in Kimmy's inner circle isn't much of a bestie, huh? We just wonder which BFF is getting the axe!

Remembering Michael Jackson..A Smile We Could Never Forget!

Today commemorates the 4th anniversary of the death of musical legend Michael Jackson. Four years ago, the entertainer died of medical complications in his Los Angeles, CA home.

Unfortunately since his death, drama has planked the Jackson family from legal battles, to recent issues with daughter Paris' hospitalization. Sources say that son, Prince will have to testify in court tomorrow recalling the last few days of his father's life in the pending wrongful death case.

In August, MJ would have been 55.

RIP Michael. Your music lives on, and continues to make us smile! Check out a rare interview with a younger Michael and Entertainment Tonight:

Jay-Z Teams Up with Samsung for New Album Release #MagnaCarta

 

Watch out Apple, Samsung is making big moves!

Samsung and entertainer/entrepreneur Jay-Z have joined forces in the release of Jay's new album Magna Carta Holy Grail. Jay-Z built anticipation in fans by airing a commercial during Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs showing off his collaboration with Samsung (see video below). The 3-minute commercial exposed fans to a brainstorming session with musical masterminds Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.

Last week, Hov added to the excitement releasing the track list of his newest album, sending the viral world into a tizzy (listed below) . The album will be available for FREE for the first 1 Million Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy Note II users. The specially designed app will be made available for fans today. Rumor has it that Samsung paid $5 a piece for the million copies distributed to users.

 As a Samsung user, you will have the privilege of getting the album 3 whole days before the rest of the world, leaving non-Samsung/Jay-Z fans in the agony of waiting 72 hours (or of course, hope for a leak from a generous Galaxy user). Not sure about you, but as an iPhone user, kinda makes me want to run out and make a switch...

Samsung, mission accomplished.

Congratulations to the 2013 NBA Champions, The Miami Heat!

Big smiles like that could only mean one thing-VICTORY!

 

Last night, the Miami Heat claimed their spot for the second year in a row as the NBA Champions against the San Antonio Spurs, closing the game out with a 95-88 win. It was not an easy series for the Heat, as the Spurs put up one of the greatest fights that the Heat have encountered to date. Star player, Lebron James worked hard to earn his title of MVP giving a confident yet heartfelt acceptance speech. Check out some of his highlights from Game 7 below. Hats off to the Spurs as well, who displayed spectacular team work, and perseverance throughout the entire series.

 

Our guess is that the entire city of Miami will be celebrating this victory all weekend long! They say three times is a charm...we'll just have to wait until next season to see if that's true.

 

Congratulations to both teams for stellar effort, and making it that far in the entire season!

Happy First Day of Summer!
