Matt Bomer Is Shirtless, Plus ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Rumor Spreads Due To Fake Entertainment Weekly Cover

Matt Bomer‘s shirtless torso graced us again this week on White Collar. We must give a big shout out to the producers of the show for that.

Matt has been making news recently thanks to a fake cover ofEntertainment Weekly!

A cover of Entertainment Weekly showing Matt Bomer has been cast to play Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey is a Photoshopped masterpiece. The cover reads:

Fifty Shades of Grey: The wait is over. Matt Bomer talks about changing the white collar for a grey tie.

Sadly, the cover is 100% fake. The film’s co-producer, Dana Brunetti, took to Twitter to deny the rumors.

All of the rumors on #FiftyShades are just that – rumors. No one has been cast in any role. We have to get a writer and director first.

Who are you rooting for to play Christian Grey?

Eva Longoria and Nathan Fillion were at the 52nd Annual Monte Carlo Film Festival today (June 13th), but we only had eyes for The Client List‘s Colin Egglesfield.  Those eyes, that bone structure.  This man needs to play Christian Grey!

Longoria was at the festival to promote the series finale of Desperate Housewives in a tie-dye Versus dress with pink Brian Atwood heels, according to Red Carpet Fashion Awards.

According to the examiner, screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis tweeted about his interest in penning the script for Fifty Shades of Grey, which was acquired by Universal.  At first, Ellis was all about Alexander Skarsgard playing Grey, but in the past few days his tune has changed.  ”Regarding Christian in Fifty Shades of Grey I know everyone seems to like Ian Somerhalder but has anyone noticed Logan Marshall-Green?…it’s hard for me to think of Ian Somerhalder as Christian G. because I’ve known him personally for so long.”

Then the tweets switched to casting Anna: “Emmy Rossum as Ana in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? Thoughts?” 

It looks like Ellis was listening to fans of the book, because he came around to the idea of Somerhalder.  ”Okay, okay: I’m seeing Christian G. in Fifty Shades of Grey as Ian Somerhalder but Paul Denton in The Rules of Attraction keeps haunting me.  I know Ian Somerhalder and how kinky he can be and yes, he’s probably Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, and he will go all-out for it.”  Ellis then added, “I want Alex Pettyfer for Christian Grey but I know he’ll never do it.”

Sometimes a book is so damn good (or so bad, it’s good) that I feel the need to strike up a debate with other readers. Celebuzz‘s Amanda Hasaka and I were at odds over who should play Christian Grey in E L James’ Fifty Shades of Grey, so we decided to record our conversation and share it with readers.

Amanda wants Ian Somerhalder to play Grey, while I see Colin Egglesfield playing the part. That said, I could certainly live with Somerhalder as Grey if Universal were to cast him (Team Damon). Amanda suggested Alexander Skarsgard, but I waved my red pen in protest because the Swede just doesn’t do it for me this go round.

We’ll have more later in the week from the peanut gallery, because this book is just too good not to talk about. Am I right, ladies?

Brooklyn Decker is supposed to be promoting Battleship (out today), but who wants to do that when there’s a saucy novel to giggle over? Decker appeared on Conan O’Brien last night, unable to stifle her embarressment after admitting she’s read Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Decker told O’Brien she was carded at an airport bookstore (eager readers must be at least 18 to enjoy their copy). “There’s no way I would have my 18-year-old child reading this book,” Decker said, adding that she gave into the hype and cracked up her Twilight porn. ”I’m reading it, and it was really inappropriate. It talks about butt clamps. Have you ever heard of that?” she asked O’Brien.

“Whats’ going on in this book? I must read it!” O’Brien said.

Butt clamps are the least of her worries about this book.
