Kendall Jenner to Be Cast in Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Sequel?!

None other than Kendall Jenner is reportedly under strong consideration for a role in the steamy Fifty Shades of Grey movie sequel, Fifty Shades Darker. According to Grazia magazine, she’s already in talks with agents, and director Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Wood is a fan of the youngster. Supposedly, the 18-year-old even had a meeting with Universal , the studio behind the project, and they were impressed with the reality star and model. Taylor-Wood, according to inside reports, is “fascinated by her” and “expressed interest in her appearing in the first film” as well, “but it didn’t happen.” “Universal is also keen for Kendall to be involved in the sequel. They put in a call to her people and arranged a meeting last month, which went really well.” “It wouldn’t be a major role but would certainly be a foot in the door,” however, “she’ll only sign on once Sam Taylor-Wood is confirmed as the director.” Kendall Jenner is going to turn down a part in Fifty Shades Darker if there’s a new director for the sequel? Somehow we don’t buy that little detail. As for the franchise bringing Kendall on board at all? We actually could see it. Rita Ora, despite zero acting experience, will be in the first 50 Shades . It’s also worth noting that in casting Jamie Dornan as lead Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, the producers are thinking outside the box. No word if Kendall would go by only one name , as she’s reportedly doing from now on in her modeling career, or use Jenner when it comes to acting. What do you think? Would you like to see the Keeping Up the Kardashians star in the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel? Her Instagram fans would go insane … 31 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner 1.

Mara Wilson: Mrs. Doubtfire Sequel Will Suck

Former child star Mara Wilson quit acting more than a decade ago, but with the announcement of a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel , the now 26-year-old writer felt the need to clarify that she will not be reprising her role as Natalie Hillard. “For the record, no, I do not have anything to do with the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel, nor will I,” Wilson tweeted today as the forthcoming film became a trending topic.  It stands to reason that the press-shy Wilson would want to preemptively deflect any questions from journalists or fans. What makes less sense, however, is Wilson’s follow-up tweet, which trashed the notion of sequels, and by extension, Mrs. Doubtfire 2 : “Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think Doubtfire ended where it needed to.” While we agree that sequels are generally lame, there are certainly exceptions to the rule ( Godfather 2 , anyone?) and it seems strange that Wilson would feel the need to throw shade on a project that’s sure to feature many of her former colleagues. So now that we know how Mara Wilson feels about the Mrs. Doubtfire  sequel, what do you think? Sure, it’s not as exciting as the idea of a Big Lebowski sequel , but it’s still pretty cool. Will you go see the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel?   Yes, can’t wait! No way! Mrs. Who-fire?!? View Poll »

Ghostbusters 3: Who Dropped Out?

First, the good news: Ghostbusters 3 will begin production in early 2015. Now, the bad news: Ivan Reitman has dropped out as director. Following the death of Harold Ramis – his good friend and a main player in the first two Ghostbusters – Reitman has chosen to leave the project. Talk of a third installment in this wildly popular franchise has been running rampant for years, but not until recently did actors Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd sign on for a follow-up. It remains unclear just what kind of role they will play in Ghostbusters 3, but Reitman told Deadline it will likely be “minor.” He also went into detail about why he backed out of directing. “When I came back from Harold’s funeral, it was really moving and it made me think about a lot of things… I told [Amy and Doug Belgrad from Sony] I thought I could help, but let’s find a really good director and make it with him. “So that’s what we’ve agreed will happen. I didn’t want all kinds of speculation about what happened with me, that is the real story.” No release date has been set for Ghostbusters 3, but it will likely hit theaters in late 2015 or early 2016.

Adam Driver to Play Main Villain in Star Wars: Episode VII?

The force may soon be with Adam Driver. In a surprising piece of casting news broken by Variety, the Girls star is nearing a deal to appear in Star Wars: Episode VII as that blockbuster’s main villain. Details on the role are vague at the moment, but character is said to be “in the vein” of Darth Vader . Driver was a relative no-name prior to being cast opposite Lena Dunham as Hannah’s boyfriend on Girls. But he is currently shooting Warner Bros.’ “Midnight Special” and is attached to Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” (also starring Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson) and his stock is clearly on the rise. If this report is accurate, Driver will be the first new cast member to be revealed for this wildly-anticipated follow-up. It will be directed by J.J. Abrams and released in theaters on December 18, 2015. Look for a deal with Driver, and other additions to the franchise, to be finalized over the coming weeks.

Beyonce and Jay-Z: Going Vegan!

Beyonce and Jay-Z have pledged to take on a plant-based vegan diet for the next three weeks, the rapper announced on his website, Life + Times. “Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you’ve found the way,” Jay wrote by way of an introduction. Jay Z, Beyonce Vegan Cleanse As of December 3, “I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based!” Bey’s husband continued. This began, he said, when a vegan friend “challenged me to embrace a ‘plant-based breakfast’ everyday. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought…” That friend was Marco Borges, an exercise physiologist and founder of 22 Days Nutrition, a vegan, organic, and gluten-free food and lifestyle company. Jay Z calls him “the world’s best trainer,” and Pharell says he’s “a brilliant teacher of the idea that working out is not just a temporary fix to lose weight … it’s a way of life.” According to Borges’ website, 22 Days Nutrition is “a partner in the journey of Jay Z and Beyonce’s exploration of a vegan diet.” So why now? “There’s something spiritual to me about it being my 44th birthday,” he added. “And the serendipity behind the number of days in this challenge; 22 (2+2=4) coupled with the fact that the challenge ends on Christmas day. It just feels right!” Bey and Jay’s obsession with the number four is well-documented: They were married on 4/4 Blue Ivy ‘s middle name includes IV Beyonce’s fourth album was titled simply 4 He went on: “So you can call it a spiritual and physical cleanse. I will post my progress…Any professional vegans out there that have any great food spots, please help out!” As for whether this could be a permanent lifestyle change? “I don’t know what happens after Christmas. A semi-vegan, a full plant-based diet? Or just a spiritual and physical challenge? We’ll see… Best of luck and health!”
