Naples actor lands role - in the buff - on Starz series 'Magic City'
On a few separate occasions this week, I’ve heard of instances where Directors’ Fortnight screening attendees saw attempts made by audience members to film movies once the lights went down. In one scenario, a film industry exec tells me they saw a spectator almost blatantly pull a movie camera out of a knapsack and begin shooting the screen. The exec alerted security and the offender was admonished — but not removed from the room. In another instance, someone filming with a smartphone only stopped when loudly scolded. I’ve heard similar stories from others, so I asked the Cannes Film Festival sidebar today what was going on. I was told they haven’t experienced this problem before, but with new digital gadgets popping up all over the place, they agreed they “should police better.”
No film from Cannes has ever been pirated, fest honcho Thierry Frémaux assures me. How could they be? At the Lumière theater in the Palais, where all competition movies are screened, security guards watch from on high and see the whole room. And if they see a smartphone screen light up, they pounce. There are also security checks once you get inside the Palais — I’ve had my rudimentary digital camera confiscated and kept at coatcheck. Hell, you can’t even get a bottle of water into that theater.
The Fortnight is run by a separate organization than the festival, and its screenings take place in the basement of what used to be the Noga Hilton — now the JW Marriot, but it’s gone through so many name changes over the years it’s hard to keep track. Contrary to the festival’s official screenings, the Fortnight is open to the public as well as accredited festgoers. Unlike the Lumière cinema at the Palais, some areas of the Fortnight room are not easily surveyed by security, a Fortnight insider explains. But, the Fortnight has slightly different rules: The introductions of the films that precede screenings can be filmed, but afterwards, audience members are told to place their cameras at their feet. I’m told Fortnight artistic director Edouard Waintrop heard the same story I did about the person with the big camera and allowed that the sidebar has to be more vigilant. I understand the issue will be brought up in tomorrow morning’s daily staff meeting. Given that Cannes is one of the greatest champions of cinema in the world, one Fortnight insider muses, “If we’re not vigilant at Cannes, where would we be?”

'Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson Wants to be Anastasia Steele of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
The erotica trilogy, "Fifty Shades of Grey" may be banned from over a hundred libraries in the US alone but the popularity of the novel continues to rise.
In fact, E.L. James BDSM-themed book has captured even more celebrity hearts. The newest one to date would be "Pretty Little Liars'" Ashley Benson who astonishingly wants to play Anastasia Steele.
In fact, E.L. James BDSM-themed book has captured even more celebrity hearts. The newest one to date would be "Pretty Little Liars'" Ashley Benson who astonishingly wants to play Anastasia Steele.
Ashley Benson may strike viewers as the fun loving gal who can do absolutely no wrong. Yet, the "Pretty Little Liars'" star might not be all innocent and sweet in her upcoming film, "Spring Breakers".
Alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, Ashley plays a group of college girls who rob a store for their spring break. The girls get into drugs, booze and smoke all the while flaunting their bikini bodies.
Well, it is obvious Ashley is incredibly talented at acting but can she handle a role that is border line between romantic and downright dirty? In an interview with Celebuzz, the blonde beauty surprisingly shared her interest in playing a role in a book that has got the world hooked.
Benson is ready to take on an even sexier and edgier role. The role would be none other than Anastasia Steele of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
"I've read every book. I want to play Anastasia," said Ashley.
Fans of Ashley had been petitioning for her to play Kate instead who is Anna's best friend. Yet, Ashley has already got her eyes set on the role as Anna.
"Kate is awesome. I like all the characters but Anastasia? I love her so much!," exclaimed Benson.
By the looks of it, there is no changing Ashley Benson's decision. A few other actresses who seem to be interested to play the 21-year old blonde in "Fifty Shades" include "Twilight" actress, Kristen Stewart. Fans of a few A-list celebs have also petitioned their own cast choices for Anna of who are Amanda Seyfried, Emilia Clarke, Sasha Grey, Selena Gomez and Nina Dobrev.
Lionsgate has still not released any details or plans to push through with the film. However, this has not stopped fans of the novels from creating countless lists of potential actors and actresses to play the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

'50 Shades of Grey' For Busy Moms: The Only Parts You Need to Read
So 50 Shades of Grey is mommy porn, huh? Well, every mommy I know is entirely too busy to read through so much humdrum dialogue and description. If we wanted romantic dribble, we'd turn on a Lifetime movie. After all, aren't those lurid sex scenes the only reason we picked up the book anyway?
To speed things up, I uploaded the kinky tome to my e-reader and searched for a few key words (surprisingly there wasn't a "penis" in a single passage). This little trick helped me skip the foreplay and get straight to the passion. Here’s a cheat sheet on where to find the steamiest bits.

* Guys, you must check out this well-made sci-fi horror. I was transfixed from start to end. It was that good.

"breast" Pg. 104
"writhes" Pg. 214"Very nice," he whispers appreciatively, and my nipples harden even more. He blows very gently on one as his hand moves to my other breast, and his thumb slowly rolls the end of my nipple elongating it. I groan, feeling the sweet sensation all the way to my groin...He pinches me hard, and my body writhes convulsively against his front. I gasp at the acute pleasure/pain. I feel him against me. I moan and my hands clench in his hair pulling harder...."pounding" Pg. 223"I moan loudly. He moves, pounding into me, a fast, intense pace against my sore behind. The feeling is beyond exquisite, raw and debasing and mind-blowing..."rhythm" Pg. 329He slides his leg in between mine, pushing my feet father apart, widening my stance, and runs my hands over my sex, one hand at a time in turn, setting up a rhythm. It's so erotic. Truly I am a marionette and he is the master puppeteer..."spread" Pg. 371
Other tantalizing terms you should definitely try: "wet," "whip," and "ravaged."I groan. Parting my legs, he cuffs first my right ankle and then my left so I am staked out, spread-eagled, and totally vulnerable to him....
