Dakota Johnson’s innocent heroine Anastasia Steele is the focal point of the latest promotional photo for Fifty Shades of Grey, and it’s a good one. The image was released on Wednesday, September 10, in celebration of Ana’s birthday and accompanied by the caption, “Happy Birthday, Anastasia. #FiftyShades.” As we saw in the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer , Johnson is the protagonist, her brunette locks framing her face and her signature bangs just skimming her eyebrows. The budding journalist holds a black pencil bearing the name Grey between her fingers, angled just so we can read the name of her future lover’s corporation. Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, was the second man cast as the lead character in the adaptation of the best-selling books by E.L. James. The role originally went to another handsome actor, but Charlie Hunnam had a nervous breakdown and had to back out, leaving the door open for Dornan. Due out on February 13, 2015, the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie has been hyped for months, even years since it was optioned to Universal. The first trailer for the Sam Taylor-Johnson-directed flick debuted in July, offering a long-awaited peek at the boundary-pushing story of Ana and Christian. It was pretty hot … or cheesy, or unintentionally hilarious. Maybe a combination of all three. Either way, check out some of the highlights from it below: Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer: 11 Best Moments 1. Whips and Handcuffs! Christian prepares to WORK Ana like you’d expect in a marvelous GIF from the Fifty Shares of Grey trailer.

Cute prank or child abuse? Woman Investigated By Child Protective Services For Viral Photos An Ohio woman thought she’s take some “funny” pics of her baby granddaughter getting ready to be roast for dinner last week. Apparently her Facebook timeline didn’t quite catch the joke. Via MailOnline : An Ohio woman thought she was being funny when she photographed her baby granddaughter with duct tape on her face and lying in a roasting pan – but Facebook users who saw the images disagreed. The grandmother, Jackie Sheaks, of Columbus, Ohio, set off a firestorm online that drew the attention of the local sheriff’s office when she shared the prank photos of her granddaughter. In one of the image, the child’s pacifier had been secured to her cheeks with two pieces of duct tape. In another, the infant is resting inside a large turkey roasting pan next to some potatoes. Mrs Sheaks explained this week that she uploaded the snapshots online hoping to amuse her Facebook friends ‘It started as just a joke,’ she told 10TV. ‘We put a little tape on the pacifier because we were being silly.’ But instead of compliments on her sense of humor and photography skills Mrs Sheaks got a visit from the sheriff and Child Protective Services, who expressed concern for the well-being of the little girl in the pictures. Speaking to local media outlets with her granddaughter in her lap, Jackie Sheaks insisted that she an her husband are not horrible people and would never harm their little girl. Tommy Sheaks said their family have been subjected to harassment online since their unusual baby photos went viral. Mrs Sheaks added that although she has been photographing her relatives’ children for many years, she learned her lesson about sharing her prank snapshots online. ‘What we think is funny other people don’t (and) it will never happen again. It’s definitely taught us a lesson,’ she said. The little’s girl’s mother, who is not being named, said that she did not find the photos taken by Jackie Sheaks objectionable. What do you think? The baby appears to be chilling in both photos…whether it made you laugh or not, is it really that serious?
We never heard anything about the disease being quite that selective… Christian Radio Host Compares Ebola To A “Cleansing Plague” The resurgence of the Ebola virus in recent months has put many on alert as we watch other countries struggle with what could, if unchecked, become a devastating global pandemic. However, one “Christian” radio host sees this prospect as a promising possibility to rid the United States of homosexuality, promiscuity, and other perversions he sees fit to be cleansed of — as if the disease would be so selective as to only target those HE has an issue with. Take a listen: Via The Libertarian Republic : Rick Wiles announced on his Christian talk show program that, “Ebola could solve America’s problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography, and abortion.” Wiles, host of the “Trunews” show seemed enthusiastic about the outbreak and the potential for it to kill the groups of people he despises. “It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming,” he said. Wiles is also on the record for claiming that President Obama may intentionally spread the disease so that he can have the power to declare martial law. He believes that this is the opportunity the president has been looking for in order to throw people into FEMA camps. “If Ebola becomes a global plague, you better make sure the blood of Jesus is upon you, you better make sure you have been marked by the angels so that you are protected by God,” Wiles ranted. “If not, you may be a candidate to meet the Grim Reaper.” SMH! Well since he thinks it would be just great if a pandemic broke out on US soil, we suggest he head on over to an affected area and contract a case himself. But — don’t be too shocked when this “sinful” nation doesn’t let you back in for treatment, though!
Adult Swim Show Features Vulgar “Black Jesus” A new Adult Swim show is facing an equal amount of backlash and praise from the religious and African-American communities. Among other things, the show which is titled “Black Jesus” features Jesus living as a hood fab Black man living in Compton, CA who smokes kush, is involved with drug dealers and curses on the regular. via TIME Magazine In John 20:29, Jesus says, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” This was an issue with Doubting Thomas; it is not the problem that Black Jesus has. Like many shows with controversial concepts, the Adult Swim sitcom from Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder has no lack of detractors who have not yet seen it, yet still believe it is blasphemy. Granted, Adult Swim has already given them fodder, in the form of ads and trailers. And the bullet-point highlights of the first two episodes probably won’t do much to quiet the outcry among Christian groups who argue that it mocks their savior and their faith. The show puts the Son of God in modern-day Compton, where he curses, hangs out with drug dealers, changes bottled water into cognac, and smokes blunts. So what’s your take on this show so far, Bossip fam? Do you find “Black Jesus” offensive or funny?

More than a year and a half after the project was announced, the Fifty Shades of Grey movie trailer hit the web last week, and it did not disappoint. Well, unless you’re an actual BDSM enthusiast , in which case you are probably LOLing at Christian Grey. But for the fans of the book? Gracious! Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer: 11 Best Moments 1. Whips and Handcuffs! Christian prepares to WORK Ana like you’d expect in a marvelous GIF from the Fifty Shares of Grey trailer. While certainly titillating on some level, the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer definitely brings the cheese factor, not dissimilarly to the source material by E.L. James. Let’s be honest: Even if you love the books, they aren’t exactly literary masterpieces. Guilty pleasures, for darn sure, but heavy on the melodrama. From what we’ve gleaned from this trailer, the movie looks like it will be no different when it hits theaters in February. Here’s a scene-by-scene breakdown: 0:00 : We first meet Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, an impressionable, innocent college graduate who interviews Christian for a newspaper and may or may not know what Google is. 0:12 : “Mr. Grey will see you now,” Christian’s possible cyborg secretary tells Ana. Mr. Grey, meanwhile, stares out his window, brooding in contemplative silence. 0:25 : Watching Christian pace around his office, Ana is clearly taken with this mysterious, powerful figure, commenting on how polite and intimidating he is. 0:40 : Explaining that she’s, like, so simple, Ana says, “Look at me.” Christian replies, “I am.” You have NO IDEA what he’s thinking about doing to her, too. 0:52 : The elevator doors close. Slowly, for added suspense. 0:55 : Christian tells Ana, apparently on a walk in the woods, that he likes to exert control in all things. His eyes look rather insane. LIKE WHAT, she wonders. 1:03 : They make out in the elevator. Hardcore. To Beyonce. Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer 1:11 : Christian says he’s “incapable of leaving you alone.” 1:16 : Ana wakes up wrapped in his blankets and sheets, which she proceeds to drag across the apartment instead of putting on clothes for reasons unknown. 1:18 : We learn that the dude had a rough life. And is a jogger. 1:21 : Jose tries to kiss Ana. Christian lays him the f–k out, because that’s a totally rational course of action when someone puts a move on your girl. 1:25 : Christian Grey tells us he does not “do” romance. Gulp. 1:30 : Cue obligatory Jamie Dornan shirtless montagae. 1:35 : They’re on a plane, because he’s a baller. 1:40 : Ana tells her love interest to “enlighten me.” 1:45 : Does. He. Ever. 1:50 : There is a riding crop and some rope. Her hands are tied. Ana is naked, blindfolded and we see her body lurch forward, accompanied by moaning. 1:55 : He is also carrying her limp body through the hall at one point for some reason, possibly after ransacking the poor thing like there’s no tomorrow. Good times? Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Posters & Photos 1. Fifty Shades of Grey Poster The first movie poster for Fifty Shades of Grey has been released. Mr. Grey will see you now.
Fix it Jesus !! Man Steals Grandma’s Car From Church Lot For Drugs A New Jersey man has been arrested in connection with the theft of his grandmother’s car from a church parking lot. Arthur J. Garlick, 22, of Wyckoff was charged with stealing a 1999 Lincoln Town Car from the Cedar Hill Christian Reformed Church on June 3.

The car was found a week later in Paterson and another man was arrested for having the stolen car, police said. Wyckoff police were lead to Garlick after interviewing the man in jail, police said. Garlick admitted to police that he stole the car from the church lot and sold it in Paterson for $200 and $150 worth of heroin, police said. Garlick lives with his grandmother. Police said he got an extra set of her keys and stole the car knowing that she was inside of the church for the day. “This crime highlights the ever growing heroin addiction problem recently called an “absolute epidemic” by the Bergen County Prosecutor, said Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin Fox. “Sadly, persons addicted will let nothing stand in their way to obtain heroin; even thefts from family members,” said Fox. Garlick was charged with auto theft of the third degree and released on his own recognizance. SMH!!!!!
If you’re still blushing from watching yesterday’s first Fifty Shades of Grey trailer , Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson know where you’re coming from. They filmed all of those sexy moments, after all … and it wasn’t easy. Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson on Today In a Today interview that followed the morning show’s PTC-criticized 50 Shades unveiling , the stars dished on the “sexual acrobatics” required. “The reality of it,” said Dornan, is much different. It may look sensual, but “there’s a burly man you don’t know very well three feet from your face … which isn’t how you usually have sex, [not] me, anyway.” Dakota Johnson deadpanned, “I do, a lot.” She kids, but “it’s more about visually what our bodies look like and what we’re doing,” she clarified, “so it’s more of like a dance. It’s like acrobatics.” “Sexual acrobatics,” Dornan laughed. 50 Shades of Grey Trailer: 9 Best Moments 1. Whips and Handcuffs! Christian prepares to WORK Ana like you’d expect in a marvelous GIF from the Fifty Shares of Grey trailer. Those hot Fifty Shades sex scenes won’t disappoint, at least according to the first trailer, which was so steamy it had to be edited down by NBC. It also earned a sharp rebuke from parenting groups decrying the project for glorifying sexual violence and porn, so that’s either a good or a bad thing. It’s a victory as far as E.L. James, who created Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele sees it, as it certainly remains true to the source material. The hit erotic novel’s author told Today of the trailer: “What I’ve seen hasn’t been particularly watered down, so, um, yeah … I thought it was interesting!” Interesting is one word for it … Fifty Shades of Grey Trailer
