"TGIF" - "Thank Goodness It's ('Fifty Shades of Grey') Friday!" As kinky Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele casting rumors continue to swirl online. erotic authoress E.L. James still remains mum on the subject. Even so, "Vampire Diaries" heartthrob Ian Somerhalder remains a top fan-favorite to snag the charmingly seductive role of Mr. Grey. The 34-year-old actor is finally delving headfirst into the world of film with the upcoming sci-fi thriller "The Anomaly" - is he preparing to prove he's got what it takes to get down-and-dirty up on the big screen? Meanwhile, word has it that "Spring Breakers" starlet Selena Gomez is "open" to filming racy (nude) scenes if the role suits her "right." Hmm... perhaps playing the young-and-innocent (with a wild side) Anastasia Steele is Gomez' perfect opportunity to do just that? Read on for more steamy details!

No surprise here... several fans (perhaps even E.L. James herself) agree that Somerhalder makes one sexy Christian Grey. It's no secret that the former "Lost" hottie is very interested in snagging the erotic role, too! Somerhalder's guest-appeared in several "small" flicks... but he's mostly known for his surperb acting on television. Rumors now confirm that Somerhalder's currently filming a new movie where he has a lead role. Noel Clarke's "The Anomaly" ( also starring Alexis Knapp, Brian Cox, and Luke Hemsworth) is an upcoming sci-fi thriller that follows an ex-soldier who wakes up in the back of a van with a young kidnapped victim by this side. The man soon realize he only has nine minutes and 37 seconds to realize what's going on. Why only that odd amount of time to get a handle on such a bizarre situation... looks like fans will have to check out the film to find out.

Hopefully working on this new film doesn't mean Somerhalder's too busy to focus on all the Christian Grey hype. Perhaps it will bring him a slew of new opportunities in the vast world of Hollywood... including starring in the kinky film adaptation of "Fifty Shades!" What do fans think?

Meanwhile, in regards to Selena Gomez playing Anastasia Steele...

It's obvious that the young, sexy songstress definitely isn't "Disney's little princess" anymore... and Gomez is ready to prove it (even if readers haven't seen the movie, take a look at the "Spring Breakers" trailer for proof...):

And according to an insider for Hollywood Life, 20-year-old Gomez is ready to take the next step... however "sexy" it might be.

"Now that Selena is growing up to be a more serious actress and separating herself from her Disney past, she has no problem going topless if the role calls for it... Without a doubt, Selena would go topless in a film if the role was right."

Perhaps Christian Grey's passionate lover is that perfect role - can fans picture it?
