You know the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Well, in this case, we'd amend that to, "Don't judge a book by it's first six chapters!"

Claire Phillipson runs a home for domestically abused women in the UK and she thinks 50 Shades of Grey is counterproductive to her cause!

She only read two-thirds of the sizzling bit of erotic fiction, but she's confident the novel is only good for one thing: kindling!

Claire aims to burn these "vile" books and urges anyone who feels similarly to bring additional copies to her office for a bonfire!

We're confused… Is she suggesting we buy a copy of E.L. James' book so that we can bring it to her for torching??

Claire explained, kind of:

Poor Chloë! That stain is never coming out of your prom dress!

Fifteen year-old silver screen starlet Chloë Moretz is shooting the remake of the classic Stephen King horror novel Carrie and, so far, it looks BLOODY frightening!

The 1976 version was one of the most shockingly violent films of its time but star Sissy Spacek was in her '20s when she played the titular role!

We are curious whether director Kimberly Peirce will strive to keep her film quite so edgy after casting an actual teen girl!

Normally, matronly actress Julianne Moore could help console Chloë after her troubling scenes but, oh yeah, Julez plays a psychotic zealot who torments young Carrie just as badly as everyone else!

Ch-ch-check out the first frightening stills from the film (below)!!

Yikes!! Momma Moore gives us the jeepers creepers!

Talk about your Great Expectations!

The Casual Vacancy is the first book J.K. Rowling wrote since penning a tiny children's series called Harry Potter giving birth to the most massively popular franchise of young adult novels this galaxy ever saw.

It hits shelves September 27 and, needless to say, the entire muggle-born world is curious to see how this plays out!

Two million hardcover copies of Vacancy have casually been pre-ordered and, flop or not, we expect even more will sell!

Rowling's American publisher Michael Pietsch think the "blackly comic" novel is bound for greatness.

He promised:

Silly Snowqueens Icedragon, it's never too early to dream!

The entire planet has an opinion on how the studios should cast the ridiculously popular Twilight fanfic erotic novel, Fifty Shades of Grey.

Author E.L. James thinks our casting ejaculations are just a tad bit premature!

Sad news bears!!

We thought American Psycho author and The Canyons screenwriter was truly capable of probing into the psyche of a sexually depraved business tycoon!

Alas, the only E.L. James script Bret Easton Ellis might be adapting any time soon is 50 Shades Of Bitter Disappointment!

He shared the triple-sucky story on Twitter:

A sommelier is someone who specializes in the intricate matching of food dishes to particular wines.

Do you know what we call someone who pairs specific classical music pieces to deviantly kinky acts of sadomasochism?

E.L. James!

The atypical author who gave us 150 different shades of a dark and freed Christian Grey returns with recommendations on what background music should be playing whilst one feasts on her titillating trilogy!

She's collaborating with EMI Classics to release 50 Shades of Grey: The Classical Album!

That's for Paramount and director Kenneth Branagh to decide!

You see, Jack Ryan — the book smart yet action-capable CIA superstar from a whole slew of Tom Clancy novels — needs himself a wife for a few upcoming films.

Keira Knightley is now the front-runner to land the three-picture deal playing the female lead, but nothing is set in stone.

Freckles Evangeline Lilly and Felicity Jones are also waiting in the wings. We admit, those are pretty effin' sexy plan Bs!

Star Trek vet Chris Pine is already set to
