Several "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans may find this latest casting rumor update quite amusing... on Tuesday (Feb. 19), the popular (and seductive) Twitter book blog "Bookish Temptations" posted an image of fan-favorite Ian Somerhalder donning a mysterious Christina Grey-esque masquerade mask.

An upcoming episode of NBC's hit drama/crime series "Law and Order: SVU" entitled "Funny Valentine" follows the turbulent and violent relationship between "a promising young singer and her popular hip-hop star boyfriend." Hmm... sound familiar? Although the episode's promo (set to air on Wednesday, Feb. 27) doesn't mention the lead characters by these names, it's pretty obvious that the story's inspired by real-life celebrities Rihanna and Chris Brown. As many fans remember, the controversial couple was involved in a highly-publicized domestic violence dispute back in 2009, where the "Don't Wake Me Up" crooner physically assaulted and abused the Barbadian beauty.

A recent media campaign from the Respect of Marriage Coalition shows clips of Laura Bush, Colin Powell and Dick Chaney supporting same-sex marriage, leading to the former first lady insists the removal of her image and name from the ad. The clip of Bush used in the campaign is from a 2010 interview with Larry King where she said, “When couples are committed they ought to have, I think, the same rights that everyone has."

It looks like Megan Fox and Michael Bay have put their past problems behind them since the movie maker took to his website to announce the actress’ new role: April O’Neil in the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ reboot. The two previously worked on the Transformers movies but Fox was not brought on for the third installment with Bay citing “personal differences.” Perhaps it was because Megan Fox compared the producer/director to Adolf Hitler, saying Bay “wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So, he’s a nightmare to work for.” All of that aside, Bay’s announcement this week seemed sincere and excited as he wrote, “TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!” Read More »
