It’s official. Jamie Dornan is Christian Grey. The Irish actor will be stepping into the void left when Charlie Hunnam bailed on the project earlier this month. Not too much is known about him in the U.S., but perhaps that’s for the best. Sorry, Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer fans, but with a relative newcomer, you can truly believe Jamie Dornan is Christian Grey , not an actor playing him. He is an actor, of course, as well as a model. One who could be described, as Anastasia Steele put it, as “the epitome of male beauty” and truly breathtaking”? We’ll leave to you do decide. He’s certainly done his share of modeling – shirtless at that – which might help move some of the naysayers over to Team Jamie. He’s not Robert Pattinson, but there was a time when Robert Pattinson wasn’t R-Pattz either. Think about that. Just visualize. Let the fantasies linger. With an open mind, click to enlarge more Jamie Dornan pictures below: Well? What do you think? Is this the kind of guy you can envision in the steamy role?

Former Catholic School Student Shoots Freaky Flick On School Grounds An ex-Catholic school student who says she was constantly taunted by her classmates once she decide to pursue a career in the adult entertainment industry recently paid an R-rated visit to her old stomping grounds and did the unthinkable. via Gawker “Aspiring Internet freaky flick star” Valerie Dodds says she was constantly mocked by her fellow classmates at St. Pius X High School for her decision to enter the adult entertainment business. So, to “get back” at them for their “rude” remarks, the 19-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska, native paid a visit to her old Catholic school to shoot a very special tribute dedicated to all the naysayers. “I held nothing back I used my fingers, my toys and even my crucifix in my p****,” she writes on her official freaky flick site. “I used every part of the school I could get into, payback is a b**ch ha ha.” Dodds knowingly broke the law when she trespassed onto campus grounds in order to film herself masturbating on the football field, but was still a bit surprised when she was ticketed for public exosure.

American actor and MC Lord Jamar releases “Known Associates” this fall on Universalindie.com and all major digital outlets. The album is a compilation of tracks featuring such artists as Capadonna, Hasan Salaam, Lord Superb, Saigon and Xzibit, to name a few. The forthcoming album hearkens to Lord Jamar’s long-standing subscription to the The Nation of Gods and Earths [Five-Percent Nation] – a soundtrack to the Hardbody-Godbody way of life: “It’s good hip hop, but has these elements on it because it’s who I am.” A member of legendary, classic hip-hop group “Brand Nubian” Jamar reflects on the evolution of the industry over the past 20 years: “Everything changes… I don’t think I’m changing according to other people, but I am changing according to my own evolution. Even with Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down, statistically, people weren’t expecting me and Sadat to succeed.” Jamar has an appreciation for other genres. Influenced by classical, Spanish and old soul music, the beats dictate his music production. “Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding impacts me and grows within me, daily. Although I’m changing, I’m staying consistent with my core message.” Widely known for his role on HBO’s “OZ” as “Supreme Allah,” as well as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Third Watch,” “The Sopranos,” and most recently in Dennis Leary’s television show “Rescue Me,” Jamar is looking to expand beyond music and do more acting and production. Lord Jamar says, “Whenever you’re pursuing your dreams you’re doing a courageous thing… It may have sounded absurd to some people [being an emcee] because I wasn’t from any of the 5 boros; I was from Westchester… I pursued it despite the naysayers. Same thing with acting; I didn’t have acting under my belt, but I wanted to do it. Courage comes in different ways, like whenever you’re pursuing something you love, but you’re not sure about.” By Hana Glinski http://hnaprnews.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/known-associates/ Al Pacino Thanks Hip-Hop For “Scarface” Support
‘I hope we can bring something unique and original to help change the naysayers’ minds about the film,’ Kenny Ortega tells ‘The Insider.’ By Terri Schwartz Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the 1987 classic “Dirty Dancing” Photo: Getty Images Kenny Ortega has been tasked with remaking the 1987 classic “Dirty Dancing,” and he knows you aren’t happy about it. The announcement earlier this week was met with seemingly universal backlash, especially in MTV News’ comment section. Commenter lisha.16 lashed out against Hollywood’s continued dependence on remakes, while Valerie Anne Devine pointed out that “Dirty Dancing” is “not broken therefore does not require a makeover.” In an interview with “The Insider,” Ortega said he was initially in the same boat. “Saying yes to this project was a really tough decision for me, and one that I wrestled with for a long time,” said the “This Is It” director, who was a choreographer on the original “Dirty Dancing.” “I had to be won over too.” So far, there’s no script or casting ideas set, just the idea to remake the movie first made famous by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. But “Dirty Dancing” is no stranger to reinvention. The movie inspired a successful Broadway musical as well as the 2004 box-office flop “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.” Ortega said his first step in creating this remake is to not try to top anything the original movie did. “We have a big challenge and a long road ahead of us,” Ortega said. “All I can say is that I hope we can bring something unique and original to help change the naysayers’ minds about the film.” That starts with not trying to find a way to replace Swayze and Grey. “They’re one of a kind, and they deserve to be called that,” he said. Ortega said he has been impressed with “So You Think You Can Dance” finalist Melanie Moore’s skills and told her live on the air that she has a role waiting for her in the film if she wants it. He also said that he would love to find a role for Grey in the remake if she’d want to be part of it. As for who should play male lead Johnny Castle, MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog suggested Ryan Gosling could be a pretty good choice. Ortega is no stranger to fans rebelling against remakes of ’80s dance flicks. He was originally attached to direct the upcoming “Footloose” remake before dropping out because he didn’t like the tone Paramount wanted for their modernized take. It will be interesting to see whether Ortega’s “Dirty Dancing” also gets updated to the present day with current popular dancing or if it maintains the 1960s setting and styles that the original had.

‘Being nominated is great, but winning is even better,’ Tricky Stewart tells MTV News of Album of the Year nod. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias Tricky Stewart Photo: MTV News Despite debuting at #1 on the Billboard albums chart and spawning three massive hit singles, some in the industry were surprised earlier this month when Katy Perry ‘s Teenage Dream grabbed a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year . Tricky Stewart was not one of them. “You know, I did four songs on that record, so I’m really proud of it,” he told MTV News. “And not just because it’s [nominated in] the Album of the Year category, but because Dr. Luke did an amazing job on the singles and Stargate did an amazing job on the singles … but all of us together, we put that album together, and I think it’s pretty flawless.” And while, at this point, Grammy noms are nothing new to the super-producer — this marks the second-consecutive year he’s in the running for Album of the Year (Beyonc
