Whoa!!! This development is 50 shades of grrrrrrrreat!

According to author E.L. James, her characters Christian Grey and Ana Steele finally found a director for their porn film!

The Queen of Soccer-Mom Erotica broke the fabulous 50 Shades of Grey news on Twitter earlier today.

She revealed

OMG! The story of Barbra Streisand on film?

It may be closer than you think if writer/producers David A. Lee and Daniel Vaillancourt get their way!

Based on William J. Mann's unauthorized biography Hello Gorgeous: Becoming Barbra Streisand, the film would cover Babs' early years as an unknown trying to make it as an actress.

So basically, "A Star Is Born star is born?" It sounds great! Now all they need is a leading lady! Lee says:

Getting hungrier for the next Hunger Games??!

We're DROOLING for the savory action-packed deliciousness that will be Divergent! And lucky us, the movie gods just might've answered our prayers!

Because the next sci-fi flick franchise's leading lady Tris (played by Shailene Woodley) is starting to look more and more like she could rival Katniss Everdeen with that ferocious gaze, cargo pants, and weaponry.

Gurl looks like she could battle the f*cked up, oppressive dystopian society and look fierce doing it too!

Also, let us not forget her eXXXtra seXXXy love interest Four (played by Theo James).

Mmm mmm mmm!!!!

We'd go divergent on his hot bod if we had the chance! Ha! Sign us up for Dauntless!!!

Ch-ch-check out the new stills of the sure-to-be box office hit (below)!!!

James Franco wants you!

Well, he wants your money anyway. Like his Oz: The Great And Powerful costar Zach Braff, James has decided to try crowdfunding his pet project.

Unlike Zach, who could have gotten the money the traditional way after his success with Garden State, James' project is a little riskier for traditional backers.

First, he's not even going to be behind the lens of the trilogy of films based on his book Palo Alto. He's giving some handpicked NYU film students a shot at it.

Second, all the films' profits will be going to charity. Not a good incentive for a business decision!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to let James tell you more!

Hmm, $10,000 gets you a dinner with the man himself. We wonder how much dancing costs…

She changed outfits on us!

Yesterday we spotted Kylie Minogue en route to Saks Fifth Avenue wearing a swingy A-line dress, but at the actual signing for her book Kylie Fashion, the pop icon went from sweet to sheerly sassy in a seksi LBD and Jimmy Choo pumps!

We're not mad though!

Kylie's embellished Pucci dress got the most out of its mesh side panels thanks to the 45-year-old's age-defying bod and skin so smooth it looks airbrushed!

We can't wait to turn the pages of her sartorial tome while listening to Skirt, of course! Talk about setting the mood!

Kylie, you are PERF!

Men's Fitness is lucky to have Hugh Jackman on their cover, not the other way around!

Hugh's done work with MF before, so this is par for the course for the 44 year old muscle farmer. What IS new about this, is what Hugh had to say on the inside!

Mr. Jackman said the following about getting fitness advice from The Rock:

There she is! And with a face that we recognize!

Lauren Conrad pinned her bangs back for her Infamous book signing at The Grove on Tuesday, making sure nobody would mistake her for Rachel Zoe!

The designer slash author got a little carried away with her outfit choice for the occasion, wearing a lace Zayan dress with tulle overlay that seemed completely superfluous.

We have an urge to cut all the tulle off and just leave the cute lace mini underneath!

Oh well, we're sure her latest tome will be a best-seller regardless.

Thoughts???
