I can't believe I missed the chance to ask for this for Valentine's Day. » 2/17/14 9:00pm 2/17/14 9:00pm

It's perfectly natural to wonder about the inspiration for a character like Christian Grey. Is it purely Edward Cullen? Perhaps E.L. James' husband has hidden talents? All the author will say in a FAQ on her website is, "Now that would be telling…" » 2/10/14 11:00am 2/10/14 11:00am

OK stop screaming and freaking out at the computer screen right now. I know everyone is super excited about the idea of getting their hands on underwear inspired by the greatest mass assembly of printed words ever, but let's keep cool heads here for a moment. » 12/07/13 3:15pm 12/07/13 3:15pm

Perhaps you are familiar with the holiday tradition of the advent calendar, with each new day until Christmas containing some sort of treat (or, if your parents were religious sticklers, a verse from the Book of Luke). But, of course, Jezebel is a palace of heresy, so instead we're presenting you with an advent… » 12/02/13 3:30pm 12/02/13 3:30pm

UPDATE! Midnight, 9/5: 59 SIGNATURES!!! ALMOST THERE! HOW POETIC IS THIS YOU GUISE? It is literally 9/5 and we are SO CLOSE away from achieving our goal! In recognition of your hard work, here is Dolly singing '9 to 5' (there is a possibility we could incorporate this into the '50 Shades of Grey Movie,' fyi.) BUT… » 9/04/13 10:00pm 9/04/13 10:00pm

Want to write about someone taking a steamy dump on your chesticles? Well, you're in luck, because E.L. James is set to release a journal/how-to book that schools you in the fine art of leaving it all on the page. You'll scribble down the desires of your inner goddess in an instructional novela that's sure to set your… » 3/13/13 10:00am 3/13/13 10:00am

So, a 50 Shades of Grey porno isn't cool, but a musical that makes fun of it is? I don't understand the 50 Shades of Grey team, but I love 'em anyway. » 1/10/13 12:00am 1/10/13 12:00am

As far as I'm concerned, making a porn parody of 50 Shades of Grey seems kind of redundant (wouldn't you rather see something unexpected like Good Night and Good Fuck or Black Hawk Pants Down or I'm Argo-ing To Come All Over You?) but happened nevertheless: 50 Shades of Grey: The XXX Adaptation. And although the… » 12/01/12 12:30pm 12/01/12 12:30pm

As a woman, one tires of "woman things," that canon of superficial shit that all women supposedly go Pavlovially apeshit over: chocolate, high heels, designer purses, Sex and the City, white zinfandel, the oeuvre of Matthew McConaughey. Because...I'm a woman...and I don't like all of those things (chocolate and… » 10/04/12 6:30pm 10/04/12 6:30pm

For months, lazy publicists and writers have been riffing off 50 Shades of Grey mania by pitching everything and anything Grey related, from sex toys to ties to nail polish. Perhaps Cosmopolitan for Latinas' Ariel Nagi deserves props for managing to combine lazy with offensive in her post, "50 Shades of Grey Sex -… » 10/01/12 5:15pm 10/01/12 5:15pm

Just as the whole topless photo scandal and subsequent privacy lawsuits were beginning to fade into the ether, rumors surfaced this morning that a Danish tabloid called Se og Hør had published new bottomless shots of K8 Middleton during that same stint she and Prince William had sunning on the balcony of a secluded… » 9/29/12 11:30am 9/29/12 11:30am

To the folks who have been screaming AHHHH YOU GAINED WEIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU, FATNESS EVERDEEN, Lady Gaga continues to level a resounding "Fuck yourself." Although the rumor out of Universal is that they had to order new, larger costumes for her, she told radio host Elvis Duran that she "doesn't feel bad about it. Not… » 9/24/12 9:00am 9/24/12 9:00am

Wearside Women In Need, a women's safehouse in the northeast part of the U.K., has announced that they will be organizing an en masse burning of E.L. James' titillating Ben-Wah ode 50 Shades of Grey. Also, it's Third Reich-era Germany, have you heard? However misguided it may be, Clare Phillipson, the plan's… » 8/25/12 1:00pm 8/25/12 1:00pm

50 Shades Of Grey, that frothy Cirque De Soleil wonderland triptych of mass-consumed erotica that the media immediately termed "Mommy porn" due to its suburban demographic, which I kind of hate—it's basically since expanded to "everyoneporn," or at least "everyone-skimmed-at-Barnes & Noble-porn"— seems to be the gift… » 5/19/12 5:00pm 5/19/12 5:00pm
