50 shades of grey

Love is in the air this Valentine's Day. This man is hoping to catch more than just a whiff of it.

Here's how you know that you've got a real cultural phenomenon on your hands: when you don't even need to call it by its correct name, and everyone still knows what you're talking about. Such is the case with the E.L. James book '50 Shades of Grey,' which will soon be a movie called, well, '50 Shades of Grey.' Wait, '50 Shapes of Grape'? What did you say? It doesn't matter, you still know what we're talking about here.

Get ready to clutch your pearls -- 'Fifty Shades of Grey' screenwriter Kelly Marcel says that the film adaptation will be as raunchy as the book, which means an NC-17 rating, no doubt.

'50 Shades of Grey' was the Rebecca Black of literature this year: for a few weeks it was all anyone could talk about, and then it disappeared into nothingness, without so much as a death rattle.
