Impatient with the lack of actual casting news for Fifty Shades of Grey, a number of blogs have decided to go ahead and just run rumors.
The latest report, picked up by the ever gullible HollywoodLife, claims Mila Kunis is “in the lead” to play Anastasia Steele in the adaptation of E L James’ steamy novel.

The webloid says Kunis, recently named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive, “is said to be topping the list of actresses in the running” for the part.
No, she’s not.
As Gossip Cop has said time and again, the movie is not going to begin casting its actors until the producers hire a director to helm the project.
That’s just how it works.
And if that’s not enough to quell the rumormongers, a source close to Kunis tells us it’s “not true” that the actress is currently in any sort of talks for the movie.
Trust us: When there is actual Fifty Shades of Grey casting news to report, Gossip Cop will be on it.
