Charlie Hunnam is hardly an unknown: The 33-year-old British actor stars in one of the biggest shows on cable, Sons of Anarchy, and he played the lead in this summer’s $100 million-grossing sci-fi vehicle Pacific Rim. Still, yesterday’s announcement that he’ll play the dominant, damaged Christian Grey in the film adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey means that Hunnam is about to become a lot more famous very quickly, since everyone and their mother had an opinion on who should be cast as Grey, a wealthy mogul who embarks on a sexy, sadomasochistic relationship with wide-eyed Anastasia Steele (to be played by Ben and Kate’s Dakota Johnson).

RIP, Charlie Murphy. Charlie Murphy, the stand-up comedian and older brother of Eddie Murphy, died Wednesday after battling leukemia, his manager told TMZ.

(Theron previously worked with Gray on 2003’s Italian Job remake.) If you have any questions about this casting choice, please revisit Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s Monster, for which she won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe.

On last night’s Dancing With the Stars, Pamela Anderson and her partner, Damian, shook off last week’s bottom-two placement with a routine about a flamenco dancer who’s in love with a matador, yet is against bullfighting (PETA spokesperson Anderson wouldn’t have it any other way, she tells us).

Fitting, since Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film takes place in New York, where washed-up actor Riggan Thompson (Michael Keaton) has come to stage a play in an attempt to win critical respectability and put the specter of his movie superhero past behind him.

Chelsea Handler in Chelsea Does. Chelsea Does is indulgent and self-obsessed, but so is stand-up comedy. The kind way to describe that is self-knowledge, and the less-kind way is self-absorption, but either way, good stand-up, more so than other comedy formats, relies heavily on an individual point of view. In her four-episode Netflix documentary series, Chelsea Handler travels and interviews people and witnesses various facets of the global human experience, and still turns all of that into, “So, what do I, Chelsea Handler, have to say?
