Ellen and Jamie Dornan’s Fifty Shades Darker

Ellen and Jamie Dornan’s Fifty Shades Darker

With the premiere of Fifty Shades Darker this year, everyone is raving about the second film of the saga. British actor Jamie Dornan, who plays Mr. Grey in the movie, has been interviewed by the top hosts and journalists in the news media. The most memorable appearance, however, was the one on Ellen Degeneres' show.

On the show, Ellen interviewed Jamie and then simulated a scene in the Red Room but with a twist: there was tape and staplers involved. On the actual interview, Ellen asks Jamie about Fifty Shades Darker, his wife, his body hair and S&M sex toys. When she asked him if he had used any of those toys before, he said that he had used some of them but not with a sexual purpose; for instance, some of them he would use to go horseback riding.

When actors do roles, they need learn about the character to get into because they have to, she said. I assume that to play this character, you need to know what you are doing to use the equipment. Had you known anything about that world before?

Not at all, he said. Everything you find in the Red Room, you've used them versional not for the same effect... So you have the skills there and you kind of surprise yourself.

Ellen also asked Jamie if his wife Amelia had asked him to take any of that equipment home. He said she probably wouldn't the props from the set but they weren't interested in that kind of practice altogether.

Obviously it's a popular thing, Ellen said. I was wondering if your wife was interested in that now.

Ellen also told Jamie that Magic Mike and his movie were responsible for a baby boom. Jamie told a touching story related to that. A woman recognized him on an elevator. She told him that she had had trouble conceiving and that after watching the movie, she got pregnant.

When Ellen also asked Jamie if he had to wax for the role, he said he wasn't a particularly hairy person.

Ellen told Jamie about a scene she had written for the upcoming films of the series, which turned out to be a Fifty Shades Darker parody. Then she asked him if he would partake in recreating a Red Room of their own.

The TV host and comedian joined forces with Christian Grey himself, actor Jamie Dornan, for a heated film on a budget called Fifty Shades Darkest.

In the spoof, Jamie hired Ellen-as-Anastasia-Steele, a Staples employee, for an intimate night. Elle uses office supplies as sex toys. The first thing Ellen offers is a small stapler, but since Jamie wasn't turned on by it, she offered a bigger stapler.

With the help of big fake boobs, Ellen seductively uses tape instead of handcuffs to restrain his hands. As a method of seduction, she cuts his tie and since that work for Mr. Grey, she offered up a pencil sharpener for his pxxxs.

The Inbetweeners phenomenon

The Inbetweeners phenomenon

From the UK to the US and even to Australia, The Inbetweeners are a global phenomenon. Following the awkward teenage years of Will (Simon Bird) and his friends Simon (Joe Thomas), Neil (Blake Harrison), and Jay (James Buckley), the British smash-hit became the comedy series of a generation of teenagers and young adults that watched the show during its three season run.

The show tells the story and misadventures of an unpopular group of friends who are desperately trying to fit in by trying to party and impress girls, but that in their attempt they pull a number of pranks and mishaps that make them so endearing and hilarious. As expected in a British comedy, the group fails miserably at their attempt to blend in and they do in the most cringe-inducing, scandalous and lough-out-loud way.

The story centers on Will, a snobbish nerd who has been transferred from a private school, after his parents' divorce, to Rudge Park Comprehensive. Despite being Will's voiceover that one that introduces and concludes each episode, he is an unconventional hero. While he is the most intelligent member of the group and he is focused on getting into a good university, he is also romantically frustrated.

While his friend Jay is the most vulgar of the group as well as a compulsive liar, Simon plays a hopeless romantic and is Will's closest friend out of the group. Neil, well, he is just an idiot, but an endearing one. Although none of the characters have any redeeming qualities, they have a great capacity to make the audience laugh.

The series is also known for its insane phrases, such as:

I will be humiliated in front of the girl I've lusted after since she was eight.

I've never loved anything before, apart from a car or a sandwich.

How long is my lunch hour? An hour.

The Inbetweeners success in the US was such that MTV released the American version of the TV show. Once the British TV show finished, two films based on the original TV show were created, featuring the original cast. The first was called The Inbetweeners, the movie and the Inbetweeners 2 follows the group of friends as they meet up again for a holiday in Australia.

Ever since the feature films were released, fans have been eagerly wishing for a third movie to hit cinemas. However, actor Simon Bird - who plays Will McKenzie - revealed that his days as an inbetweener are over and he will not reunite with his former co-stars on screen.

It was great while it lasted, he said to Gaby Roslin, but we are too old for that now. We're old men. I feel so old!

It was a great time making The Inbetweeners. I still see the boys all the time. It's sad that it's over, but it is over unfortunately.

Kylie Minogue and Joshua Sasse split

Kylie Minogue and Joshua Sasse split

Pop star Kylie Minogue and British actor Joshua Sasse break up their engagement to get married and split after nearly a year and a half together. The former couple met back in 2015 on the set of US series Galavant, in which he has a leading role while she was making a guest appearance.

Despite their age gap - Kylie is 48 while he is 29 - the relationship grew strong quickly after they met. Only five months after meeting each other, the pair announced their engagement. Unfortunately, their relationship has now come to an end. According to The Sun, the pop star was the one who ended it because she allegedly suspects Sasse of cheating on her with Spanish actress, Marta Milans.

The Australian singer took to social media and posted a message on Instagram in which she confirmed their break-up and thank their fans for their support.

Thank you for all your love and support throughout this recent chapter of my life, she wrote. Thank you now for your love and understanding with the news that Josh and I have decided to go our separate ways. We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons. She hashtagged lovers and thesunalwaysrises on the post.

Apparently, a source had told the Sun that Minogue was beyond consolation after the split, she really believed he was the One. But she no longer trusts Sasse. She reportedly asked him to move out of their West London home.

The sad news days after Minogue had talked excitedly about her upcoming wedding on an interview with ITV's This Morning. She also shared with You magazine that she planned on taking her future husband's name.

Kylie Sasse is a great name, she said. Kylie Minogue has never exactly tripped off my tongue. I'll definitely be taking Sasse but there will be Minogue in there somewhere.

She had also discussed about the couple's difficulties to have children as it is a different kettle of fish as you get older. Although the couple had planned to wed in Melbourne, those plans depended on whether Australia legalized same-sex marriage or not.

While this would have been the first wedding for both of them, Minogue's has had long-term partners, including Spanish model Andrés Velencoso, fellow Neighbors actor Jason Donovan and French actor Olivier Martinez.

Representatives for Minogue, Sasse or Milans haven't denied or confirmed the reported affair between Sasse and the Spanish actress. The British actor and Milans met while the filmed the US drama No Tomorrow in Canada last year.

A source who worked on the show revealed: It is well known that Joshua and Marta had been close for a number of months.

Friends reportedly say that Minogue's and Sassa's relationship has been rocky since the start. After getting engaged she should have been on top of the world but it's never been smooth sailing, the source said to The Sun. Everyone is so upset for Kylie but her close friends and family really want her to get through this and stay strong.

If there is something good that will come out of all of this is Kylie Minogue's next album which should help the Australian artist pour her heart out. Minogue tweeted that she had signed a new record deal with label BMG a few days before she announced her break-up.

She wrote: So happy to announce my new record label is BMG. I promise you will have my heart...
