Jamie Dornan And Robert Pattinson: Hottest Drinking Buddies !

Life is about to get really, really, really exciting for Jamie Dornan.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, you surely know that the hunky Irish actor is about to make every woman in the world fantasize about him when his movie “Fifty Shades of Grey” hits theaters on Valentine’s Day.
To cope with the avalanche of fame that’s about to descend upon him, Dornan, 32, revealed in a new interview with Variety that he’s been buddying up to Robert Pattinson.
“I don’t remember what we talked about the last time I saw him,” Dornan said. “I think we just got drunk.”

The guys met after Dornan was done filming Fifty Shades, a role that Pattinson, 28, actually turned down. Yep, at one point Rob was in talks to play the infamous Christian Grey — in fact, he was reportedly author E.L. James’ first choice as well as some experts’ pick.
That coincidence aside, Dornan insists there’s no similarity between his Fifty Shades role and Pattinson’s days as the mega heartthrob Edward Cullen from the Twilight series.
“By the way, it’s not the same thing. We’re not the Twilight franchise,” he said. “We’re a different thing. Whatever my situation is, it’s going to be different from Rob’s. They are incomparable.”
He does admit, however, that his friendship with Rob has given him a little glimpse at what lies ahead.
“I’ve been around Rob long enough to see what it’s been like for him. I don’t know if it’s been a benefit to witness that. Whatever that is,” he admitted.
In fact, Dornan said the fame has already started to hit him, especially after spending Golden Globes weekend in Los Angeles and rubbing shoulders with his famous peers.
“I’m astonished at how many people are telling me my life is going to change. Everyone that I meet, especially in L.A.,” Dornan told Variety. “People who run studios or other actors or people who are strangers. Everyone has been saying that to me, ‘Are you ready?’ I don’t have a good answer to that, because I don’t know what I’m meant to be ready for. Whatever happens, happens. I’ll just roll with the punches.”
Atta boy, Jamie. And if you ever need more drink buddies to cozy up with, we volunteer as tribute.

Morality in Media criticizes R-rating for 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

Anti-pornography watchdog group Morality in Media has taken issue with Fifty Shades of Grey’s R-rating, arguing that the rating “severely undermines the violent themes in the film and does not adequately inform parents and patrons of the film’s content.”
Last week, the MPAA granted the film based on E L James novel an R rating for “strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior and graphic nudity.” Morality in Media takes specific issue with the MPAA’s use of the phrase “unusual behavior” to describe the content of the film. “What the term ‘unusual’ does not account for is the coercion, sexual violence, female inequality, and BDSM themes from which the entire Fifty Shades plot is based,” the statement reads. “Such a vague evaluation puts viewers at risk, sending the message that humiliation is pleasurable and that torture should be sexually gratifying.”
The group argued: “We’d like to change the MPAA rating for Fifty Shades of Grey to read: ‘Promotes torture as sexually gratifying, graphic nudity, encourages stalking and abuse of power, promotes female inequality, glamorizes and legitimizes violence against women.'”
The organization also targeted the film when the initial trailer was released, arguing that it “deceives the public with a visually appealing melodramatic love story that romanticizes and normalizes sexual violence.”
