Charlie Hunnam is too busy for eroticism
Los Angeles: Actor Charlie Hunnam has dropped out of the big screen adaptation of E L James`s bestselling erotic novel, `Fifty Shades of Grey, just weeks after being cast in the role of Christian Grey.
The 33-year-old actor, who had been chosen to play the billionaire in the much-awaited adaptation, backed out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts, said the Hollywood Reporter.
"The filmmakers of `Fifty Shades of Grey` and Charlie Hunnam have agreed to find another male lead given Hunnam`s immersive TV schedule which is not allowing him time to adequately prepare for the role of Christian Grey," Universal Pictures said in a statement.
Universal and Focus Features` adaptation, is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. Actress Dakota Johnson, would be playing Grey`s love interest, Anastasia Steele.
`Sons of Anarchy` star`s TV production was to reportedly end on October 21 and the movie production was set to start in November.
Another reason cited for Hunnam`s exit is the hype created around the casting.
"He was overwhelmed with the attention he received from being cast in the movie and got cold feet about carrying such a high-profile project," a source said.
"Universal was forced to hire bodyguards for the actor at a recent `Sons of Anarchy` premiere, where questions about Fifty Shades dominated the red carpet," the source added.

She says the recovery has been rather quick, and she has thanked her therapists for it.
"It`s a huge deal. It should have taken eight months and even my doctors can`t believe it. It`s been a long journey, the physical therapists have been incredible and I am very grateful to all of them for helping me," she added.
The 43-year-old has twin children, Moroccan and Monroe, with husbandNick Cannon.
She is now raring to go.
"When people expected me to go, `Here I am, I`m back and everything`s great`, it didn`t happen because my hand was still in tremendous pain and it took this long for it to heal.

The 49-year-old admits the lonely sessions took a serious toll on her mental health, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Director Alfonso Cuaron had to keep a close eye on her to ensure she didn`t lose her cool and he used her son, Louis, to cheer her up whenever he felt she needed a boost.
"I was depressed, I was angry, I would get so sad because it was a black room, no human contact, they took away sound... `What they did was, Alfonso could see, because he had cameras always on my face, he would be like, `She`s cracking, she`s cracking, go get the kid`," Bullock said on a talk show.
"They`d created this whole wonderland just outside for Louis (to keep him occupied during filming), so they brought him in," she added.

When Hollywood Goes Wild: the (Sometimes Criminal) Celebrity Gladiators We Love
It's not exactly Schadenfreude, the self-affirmation we feel when someone with every advantage fails. Okay, maybe we did delight in that Britney head-shaving, but there's something else in there, and it's not really about wanting them to feel bad. It's about us feeling good when we forgive them. It's reverse Schadenfreude, if you will, founded in our Puritan past.
So feel free to falter, Kardashians. Steal Taylor's spotlight, Kanye, we totally understand. And yes, Anne Heche, there really is a spaceship waiting to take you to heaven.
Let loose your grip Hollywood. We'll be there to catch you when you fall. And we'll be feeling fantastic about ourselves while we do.
Abraham Lincoln Face-Off: Spielberg vs. The Vampire Hunter
It's only natural the Obama presidency would trigger a national re-evaluation of race in America: we now have a counterweight to our shame about slavery. And what better way to articulate it than with tales of The Great Emancipator?
One year after Obama took office, Seth Grahame-Smith's Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter hit the bookshelves. By 2012, the film version of that historical mash-up was released, beating out Steven Spielberg's Lincoln by a few months. The latter was penned by a more intellectual writer, Tony Kushner. It was showered with accolades, and more than doubled the take of its supernatural sibling. Makes sense, when you think about it. A film depicting our higher selves should entail high-culture storytelling. But where the historical version walked us to the edge, the pop version said out loud what we know to be true: slavery is colonial vampirism.
There's no point in being binary, I suppose. Films for the most part are pop culture, even historical ones. So we got to have it both ways, plain spoken and erudite. And why not? We deserve to bask in the story of this significant pivot away from our past.
Personally, I dug the dude with the axe.

Every drama needs to have a villain. It's what creates friction for the protagonist. Some of the shows make the antagonist so horrible that they might as well be wearing a mustache that they twirl at every opportunity (see every single person Chuck Norris went up against in Walker, Texas Ranger). Justified's Boyd Crowder is no common villain. In fact, he might be the best one on TV or at least in the Top 5.
Walton Goggins is a force of nature when portraying Crowder. People take one look at him and dismiss as him as a country bumpkin, but there's a seething intellect burning behind those eyes. Crowder speaks eloquently and is prone to quoting from the most esoteric works. Not bad for a man who spent a good portion of his life working in a mine (that's how he knows Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens, the show's protagonist; they worked in the same mine). But for all Crowder's veneer of civility, there is a coldness to him, one where he will kill whoever stands in his way, with the same amount of thought given to squashing a bug. He can be laughing and smiling one minute and then be training his gun on you, his eyes dead.
The relationship between Crowder and Givens is partly what makes this show so fascinating. The two men are clearly on the opposite sides of the law, but hold each other in some regard, since both have come to each other's rescue more than once during the show's run. It's going to be fascinating to see what happens in the next season, with Crowder having a chance at a somewhat normal life ripped out from under his feet.
I'm no stranger to Goggins' work, having seen his turn next to Michael Chiklis on The Shield. In fact, one thing I lament is that there would never be a crossover on Breaking Bad. I'd be very curious to see what Crowder would think of Heisenberg.
Funny thing was, Crowder was supposed to die as he did in the short story, "Fire In The Hole," that inspired Justified. I'm glad that the showrunners decided against that

BOLLYWOOD UPDATES
New Delhi: TV star Ratan Rajput, who became the fourth contestant to get evicted from reality show `Bigg Boss`, is relieved to be out of the house after 28 days as she was finding it hard to survive the politics between the inmates.
The actress says she overestimated her strength but staying in `Bigg Boss` has taught her that she can`t handle fake people and indulge in politics.
"People there had come with a plan. It was uncomfortable for me to stay there because 14 strange people were thrown together and you cannot trust anyone because there are groups. Also, there was a class system as some people (I don`t want to name them) would think they were special because they came from a film family.
"But, I think everyone was equal there as we all were the part of same show. It is not like they were participating in Big Brother," Ratan said in her post exit interview.
Ratan, however, is happy that despite so many fights within the house, she did not face any misbehaviour from anyone, though she is aware that people may have talked badly behind her back.
The actress, who found fame on TV with `Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo` and her `Swayamvar` on TV and subsequent break-up, said she is not a bad person and not very dramatic so when things became difficult for her, she became quiet, which may have been a reason for her exit.
When asked about the new romance between Tanisha and Armaan Kohli, Ratan quipped, "I think they are inspired by Gauhar and Kushal. But Gauhar and Kushal are definitely more than good friends."
She also believes that Armaan, who is gaining the reputation of a bully thanks to his frequent outbursts, is a strong player but Ratan says he and Tanisha are giving everything to stay on top of the game.
Ratan likes the way Kushal is playing the game, which she says is clean as he does not go and gossip about people behind their back. She also finds Gauhar a strong player and wants Shilpa to be among the finalists as she had come to like her.Andy is another player that Ratan liked.
"I could not understand Andy in the beginning. He is very nice to you but behind your back he will not spare you. However, he would not lie to you and tell you upfront that I said this about you. Once, I understood that, I became friends with him," Ratan said.
As far as Kamya Punjabi, who nominated Ratan, is concerned, Ratan believes that she is bold but not in front of Armaan. Ratan finds Pratusha Banerjee to be a good player because she manages to stay out of things by playing the innocent card.
Asked about her future plan, the actress said, "Right now, I want to stay with my family. I was very scared after I came out of the show as I would feel that cameras are still following me. I need some time to relax.
"I just can`t stop crying, it is such a relief. I decided to participate in the show as I had declined it twice earlier and though there is nothing wrong with the show, the format was too tough for me," she said.

Shah Rukh Khan misses Temptation Reloaded
New Delhi: After having a blast with his Temptation Reloaded, which ended in Perth, Australia, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he is missing the "frenzy and noise".
Shah Rukh embarked on the tour along with his celebrity team, which included stars like Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukerji, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Meiyang Chang. The first stop was in Auckland, New Zealand, Oct 4.
"Tour ends. Will miss the frenzy and the noise. Perth you were extremely fulfilling and so gentle. (I) Am glad I could feel you all. Live happy," Shah Rukh tweeted after the tour-end.
From `Lungi dance` to `Ghaghra` and `Lat lag gayi`, the celebrities rocked the dance floor by grooving to hit numbers. And their energy was so infectious that the audience too grooved with them.

New Delhi: Newcomer Himanshu Soni, who will be seen essaying title role in `Buddha`, says he has given his everything so that viewers remember him as the onscreen Buddha even after the saga goes off air.
Like many others, Himanshu left his hometown Jaipur and went to Mumbai to pursue acting. Nothing happened immediately and it was just six months ago that lady luck smiled on him.
"I went to Mumbai two years ago (in 2011). I had to struggle a lot. It`s true that Mumbai is a city of dreams, but it started working in my favour six months ago when I gave the audition for `Buddha`," Himanshu said.
"I was called for the look test and finally I got selected. It was a dream come true for me. After the show, I want people to remember me as the onscreen Buddha," he added.
To be aired on Zee TV, `Buddha` is being made my industrialist B.K. Modi.
After being shortlisted, the 24-year-old claims that he started doing his homework.
"I started doing meditation, went through books about Buddha, read his preaching. Then, one day I was called for the look test and got selected. It was a dream come true and I feel I have been able to do justice to my character," he said.
With a degree in M.Com from the University of Rajasthan, he wanted to pursue further studies, but couldn`t resist the temptation to wear grease paint and face the camera.

'Raanjhanaa' director coming up with another romantic film with Dhanush
Mumbai: Director Anand L Rai, whose `Raanjhanaa` generated good response at the box office, is coming up with another romantic film and is currently working on the script.
"I am working on a script right now. It`s completely original. It is a romantic film but I cannot reveal the story and the plot line now. I hope by Diwali, I would be in a position to talk about the project," Rai said.
`Raanjhanaa` was a story of a Hindu Banarasi boy falling in love with a Muslim girl and giving away his life for her.
"I feel one way of keeping the romance alive is through films. I think somewhere people have lost faith in love. It feels sad (to) see this as love is an integral part of our life," he said.
`Kolaveri Di`-fame South star Dhanush, who made his Bollywood debut with `Raanjhanaa`, will be working together with Rai again for a film, tentatively from the same genre.
"We are definitely working together. This will also be a romantic film. But I haven`t started working on this film yet," Rai said.
His another project is the sequel to 2011 romcom `Tanu Weds Manu`. However, Rai did not elaborate.

Mumbai: In a dramatic, "dream come true" moment for Sangeeta Ghosh, megastar Amitabh Bachchan went down on his knees with a rose in his hand, and recited a dialogue from his movie `Silsila` for the actress on the set of `Kaun Banega Crorepati`.No, it wasn`t real case of `Cheeni Kum` chemistry, but just a demonstration of a romantic proposal that Big B was giving to actor Ruslaan Mumtaz, Sangeeta`s co-star in the show `Kehta Hai Dil...Jee Le Zara`.
Sangeeta and Ruslaan made a special appearance on the show for its Dussehra special episode, which will be aired Sunday.
When the thespian, who turned 71 earlier this week, asked young Ruslaan as to when will his character finally express his feelings to Sangeeta`s character on the show, Ruslaan said: "Sir aapne bol diya hai ab mein jald kar dunga (Now that you have said it, I will do it soon)".
As a test, Big B asked Ruslaan to give a demo of his prospective proposal. He gave Ruslaan a rose, and asked him to go ahead and propose to Sangeeta. But Ruslaan did an unimpressive and immature job.
That is when Big B intervened and said that if this is how a boy will ever propose, the girl will run away. He then took the rose from Ruslaan and went down on his knees and recited a dialogue from the movie `Silsila` and proposed to Sangeeta.
Sangeeta`s happiness knew no bounds and she kept blushing through the entire show, said a source.

When the thespian, who turned 71 earlier this week, asked young Ruslaan as to when will his character finally express his feelings to Sangeeta`s character on the show, Ruslaan said: "Sir aapne bol diya hai ab mein jald kar dunga (Now that you have said it, I will do it soon)".
As a test, Big B asked Ruslaan to give a demo of his prospective proposal. He gave Ruslaan a rose, and asked him to go ahead and propose to Sangeeta. But Ruslaan did an unimpressive and immature job.
That is when Big B intervened and said that if this is how a boy will ever propose, the girl will run away. He then took the rose from Ruslaan and went down on his knees and recited a dialogue from the movie `Silsila` and proposed to Sangeeta.
Sangeeta`s happiness knew no bounds and she kept blushing through the entire show, said a source.
New Delhi: Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor turned show stopper for designer Ashish N Soni`s finale titled `La Dolce Vita` at the Wills Lifestyle India fashion week.
The actor looked dapper in a white shirt paired with a dinner jacket as he sashayed down the ramp, a bright red multilevel stage set reminiscent of an Opera theatre.
"This might come as a surprise but much before I became an actor, I modelled. I had walked down the ramp for late Mr Dhirubai Ambani for a travel show...And later became an actor," Anil said.
The monochrome collection saw peplum dresses, polka dot shirt and trousers, flared skirts, jackets, short satin dresses, trench coats, ball gowns, dinner jackets and tuxedos.
The fabrics used by Ashish were mostly satin and silk.
"I was super excited about doing the finale. I hope it went well and with Mr Kapoor walking the ramp, it couldn`t have been better," Ashish said.
The models walked down the stairs set on the ramp to live singing and music by a jazz band.
`La Dolce Vita`, in English means `The Sweet Life`, and was a 1960 comedy-drama film written and directed by the critically acclaimed director Federico Fellini.
The movie was a story of a passive journalist`s week in Rome, and his search for both happiness and love that will never come.
It had won the Palme d`Or (Golden Palm) at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Costumes.
