Somehow a story on The Wrap about director Gus Van Sant shooting an unsolicited test reel for Fifty Shades of Grey, in which he used Alex Pettyfer as Christian Grey, has turned into “Alex Pettyfer has auditioned for Fifty Shades of Grey”. But that isn’t what happened. What happened is that Van Sant apparently really wants this gig and so he made a tape to give the producers an idea of what his vision would be for the project (reportedly he filmed the “loss of virginity” scene which has the potential to be super f-cked up on film), and he happened to use Pettyfer, probably because he’s a very pretty and not particularly shy performer (see also: Magic Mike). Full Story

Some random website posted last week that Alex Pettyfer was confirmed for Four in Divergent and there were panicked emails going back and forth and... well... You must consider the source. The report was quickly shut down. Pettyfer is not Four...yet. He is one of the actors being considered but they’ve not made a final decision, and that leak last week further verifies that because it smells exactly like the kind of moves they all started making during the casting process for Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games. Full Story

Celebitchy posted a story the other day (from Us Weekly) about how Alex Pettyfer was so dicky on the set of Magic Mike that Channing Tatum cut out one of his scenes. Pettyfer subsequently threw a hissy. He and Tatum are reportedly now not speaking and wouldn’t acknowledge each other at the premiere. Full Story

According to The Hollywood Reporter, About Last Night is set for a remake. The first thing I thought was that’s not possible, the movie isn’t old enough (and neither am I). Released in 1986, it holds up pretty  well with its, “boy meets girl in a bar, they have a one-night stand and try to have a relationship” premise. Full Story

And it feels really bizarre to say that. (Lainey: Please note this article was written by Sarah.) It all started with a radio interview with him and Jamie Bell during promotion for that Eagle movie they made. I listened and found myself thinking, You know, Channing Tatum isn't that bad. Since then, I've gained an appreciation for him. Full Story

He kept sh-tting on Hollywood the last time we heard from him - click here for a refresher - but Hollywood clearly doesn't mind. Alex Pettyfer's career is not dead. But, interestingly enough, for a boy who was swaggering with a huge cock just six months ago and whose fortunes then seemed to fall very quickly because he kept tripping on said cock, his new lease on life comes courtesy another actor. Full Story

Alex Pettyfer reminds me of the quarterback or whatever lead athlete character in a high school sports movie who cannot deal with losing and, like, ends up roughing up his ex-girlfriend, the cheerleader, who is now dating the new kid in town. It’s such a cliché, but that doesn’t mean archetypes don’t exist. Full Story

Written by Sarah When I wrote about The Hunger Games casting earlier this week, I noted that no one other than Alex Pettyfer had surfaced in the race for Peeta. Strike that, because we now have a Peeta three-way. Full Story

Written by Sarah I’ve been saying for the past year that sixteen-year-old Saorise Ronan should be Katniss, and after seeing her in True Grit, I also thought that fourteen-year-old Hailee Steinfeld would also make a good Katniss. Full Story

In Paris today at Louis Vuitton. You know I love Emma Stone so much. And it’s great now that she’s becoming some kind of fashion girl. And the next step I suppose is for a fashion house or a cosmetics company to sign her. That’s exactly what her agents are trying to line up. Trust. I can’t say however that I love this look. Full Story

Alex Pettyfer isn’t even really famous and already… Story after story – wanky behavior, temper tantrums, love complications, and now… is Alex Pettyfer That Ex-Boyfriend? Dude is all about the drama. So we know that he walks with a big dick, thinks he’s the next Brad Pitt. Full Story

Written by Sarah Nicholas Hoult is the only exception to my “no young’uns” rule. He’s the blue print for my type. Tall, nice eyes, sharp dresser, little bit of strut. Full Story

Amazing article this morning on Alex Pettyfer from The Hollywood Reporter. This is where Janice Min’s touch has made a difference. As for Alex Pettyfer – we’re just over a week from I Am Number Four, his major introduction, after which he’s supposed to be considered among the top young talent in Hollywood with the star quality to back up his good looks…and already a massive ego that usually goes along with that combination. Full Story

It’s official. And I didn’t think it was possible either. For someone on the Glee cast to be MORE annoying than Lea Michele. But it’s actually happened. It’s Dianna Agron. Because while Lea Michele is a lot of things, what she isn’t is DULL. In our business, the business of gossip, not Dull is good. Full Story
