If you've been growing weary of all topics related to Fifty Shades of Grey, I have some news that might cause your inner goddess to retire to her fainting couch: a book deal recently went down that indicates this particular literary phenomenon isn't going away any time soon. And by "literary phenomenon," I mean "stories that started out as Twilight fanfiction before becoming traditionally-published, mainstream pornography sold in plastic wrapping at Walmart."

Fifty Shades has spawned all sorts of similarly-themed erotic novels, but now there's a book attempting to follow in E.L. James' exact footsteps. Beautiful Bastard is scheduled for publication on February 12, 2013 -- and it's a reworked version of The Office, Twilight fanfic written by Christina Hobbs. She's since teamed with author Lauren Billings to publish the revised story under the pen name Christina Lauren.

So, what can you expect from this book? 

Well, well, well -- it looks like he definitely has an interest in all things kinky, because Robert Pattinson admits he read Fifty Shades of Grey (or at least what turned into Fifty Shades of Grey) quite some time ago. (Ooh-la-la!)

On MTV's The Yes/No Show, Rob wasn't shy about going ahead and putting it out there that he's just as interested in the erotic fiction craze that's sweeping the nation as the rest of us.

He simply said, "Yeah, I read a little bit of the Fifty Shades of Grey one before it was Fifty Shades of Grey." Yes, he's referring to Masters of the Universe -- the series of erotic fan fiction inspired by Twilight that E.L. James published online between 2009 and 2011.

There has been speculation for a few months now that Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James may be writing a fourth novel in the series -- and based on a recent comment she made, it sounds like this new book may actually happen.

Wait a second -- don't get too excited. Because it sounds like if the new book happens, it won't be the next chapter in Ana and Christian's wild love story -- or at least not how most fans would picture things progressing. Nope, it's shaping up to be nothing more than a Fifty Shades of Grey sequel told from Christian Grey's perspective. (As in he'll be narrating this time around.)

Ok, if you're one of those fans who swoons at every single thing Robert Pattinson does, no matter what it is, then you might want to sit down for what I'm about to tell you so you don't faint.

Apparently Robert is interested in writing his own Fifty Shades of Grey-style book -- which would basically reveal every single erotic fantasy he has trapped in that gorgeous brain of his. (OMG.)

And while the idea of him penning anything erotic is a huge turn-on in itself -- just wait until you hear how he would change things up in his version of the story. (Yes, I know Fifty doesn't really have a story, but you know what I mean.)

When she's not busy hosting Dancing With the Stars, Brooke Burke likes to unwind and relax just like the rest of us moms do -- by heading to the salon for a little primping and pampering. And of course, one of the best parts of relaxing at the hairdresser is indulging in a little bit of light reading.

And Brooke isn't shy at all about her book of choice at the moment, based on a tweet she posted yesterday. (Yep, she's a Fifty Shades fan.)

Just when we thought the Fifty Shades of Grey craze couldn't possibly get any crazier, it may just go to an entirely different level, now that Oprah Winfrey has admitted to downloading the Fifty Shades series for a little bit of guilty reading pleasure.

And yes, Oprah reading the series is a very big deal, because duh -- if Oprah's reading it, then everyone needs to be reading it. Because everyone knows that Oprah's favorite things should most definitely be our favorite things too, because -- well, she's OPRAH.

I'm going to throw out some titles, and you tell me what they have in common, okay? Lord of the Flies. The Catcher in the Rye. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. A Wrinkle in Time. The Hunger Games.

If you guessed that these books have all been banned from schools and libraries, you're correct. This year, The Hunger Games joined the American Library Association's list of "most challenged books" -- i.e., books that have caused people to issue formal complaints asking that the offensive material be removed from public access. Believe it or not, The Hunger Games is so controversial, it's become the third most challenged book in America.

Being as how it's officially Banned Books Week, I've got a great idea for how to celebrate! Unfortunately, it'll require you to slap on your devil horns, fire up your cuss-hole, and toss your family values into the gutter.

I don't care who you are -- it's pretty hard not to absolutely love Chelsea Handler. She's nothing short of a total riot, and every time I hear her speak, I get a little bit jealous that I can't be quite as witty or quick thinking as she is. (We'd totally be BFFs if we met IRL. I swear.)

And you've gotta love that Chelsea lacks any sort of a filter, which is a quality that many people find pretty endearing. (Or at least I do.)

And that's why I couldn't wait to hear what she had to say about Fifty Shades of Grey -- because I knew she'd speak her mind and tell the truth without one ounce of restraint or hesitation. She and Piers Morgan got right down to business and had a lively discussion about the erotic dose of fiction that has swept the nation -- and Chelsea hit the nail right on the head when it came to perfectly summing up every last steamy word.
