Fifty Shades author E.L James is the latest celeb to tackle Piers Morgan

Feb 18, 2017

Piers Morgan has been angering quite a few bibliophiles on Twitter in recent weeks.

Piers has been in a battle of 180 characters with JK Rowling for quite a while, as the two have had some political disagreements.

In the midst of the war of words, Harry Potter fans have begun tweeting Piers Morgan the contents of the Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone novel in it's entirety, and the journalist has had it up to here with the Hogwarts-themed tweets.

Hi @E_L_James, any chance you could start tweeting me one of your books? I need some relief from this Harry Potter crap.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 15, 2017

Seeking some respite, Piers tweeted Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L James, asking for a quote from her from one of her popular erotic novels.

E.L James proceeded to perfectly troll the journalist, by tweeting back a line from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Clearly missing the joke, Piers responded to the perceived dig with: "Fortunately none of your characters would ever risk over-exposure…"

@piersmorgan 'I believed that the more exposure I got in the press, the better my career would progress. Trouble was, I became overexposed'

— E L James (@E_L_James) February 15, 2017

The quote is, of course, not even from Fifty Shades of Grey, but is in fact from a scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets between Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor Gilderoy Lockhart and Harry Potter.

Clearly E.L James has JK Rowling's back in this battle.

Just been sent this! Could the writer let me know who he is? I'd love to thank him! #Valentines pic.twitter.com/OQtbxPD6AL

The Harry Potter author also made a pretty funny joke at Piers's expense on Valentine's Day, as she posted a gushing review about her contribution to children's literacy.

While JK Rowling feigned the anonymity of the post for the sake of satire, it was quickly revealed on Twitter that it was Piers Morgan himself who had written the piece a few years ago.

"I bet he's having a monumental trumpesque meltdown," replied one follower.

It might be time for Piers to take a little Twitter break now, no?

You HAVE to see Jamie Dornan in the new Fifty Shades Darker trailer

Yesterday the world was offered the briefest glimpse at the next on-screen instalment of EL James’ Fifty Shades trilogy.

But because the clip was a total tease at less than twenty seconds long, we decided to hold off until today so we could give you the full Fifty Shades Darker trailer.

Due for release in February 2017, Fifty Shades Darker looks set to be a whole lot more intriguing than its predecessor.

Check it out below:

It’s official, ladies! There’s a NEW 50 Shades of Grey book coming out

Sep 11, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Get ready girls, because EL James is coming out with ANOTHER 50 Shades book.

The story was originally meant to be a trilogy, but then EL confirmed last year that there was another to come.

However, yesterday she took to social media to show off a sneak peek of yet another one, making it the fifth Grey book.

The author took to Facebook to release an excerpt from the new (new) book, which is titled Fifty Shades Darker from Christian's Point of View.

She is hoping the book will be released around 2017.

EL wrote: "Good morning, all. I know you're anxiously awaiting the trailer, and that's happening… soon. In the meantime, in honour of Ana's birthday, there's this."

Is anyone else excited to see what's in store?

Oops… E.L. James’ Twitter Q&A didn’t quite go to plan

Following the success of her newest book, Grey, author E.L. James held a Twitter Q&A last night, but things didn't exactly turn out as hoped.

Twitter users took the free-for-all Q&A as an opportunity to express all of their feelings about the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise… and we mean ALL of them. The hashtag #AskELJames saw hundreds of people questioning her skills as a writer and her understanding of domestic abuse.

Many people even chimed in purely to point out what an absolutely terrible idea it was by her PR team to set up the Q&A in the first place. Not all of the tweets were full of aggro though – there were a few funny ones which were too good not to share…

Did you know how to read when you wrote Fifty Shades of Grey? #AskELJames

#AskELJames after the success of "Grey," have you considered re-telling the story from the perspective of someone who can write

— Andrew Vestal (@avestal) June 29, 2015

Irony. Watching EL James get a nasty spanking from a harmless hashtag. #AskELJames

#AskELJames What's the minimum distance you have to stay away from Stephenie Meyer at all times?

— Kayleigh Anne (@Ceilidhann) June 29, 2015

#AskELJames do you find it ironic that you write as if someone has tied you to a chair and forced you to?

#AskELJames Are you getting tendinitis from having to hit "block" so often 🙁

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWritesStuff) June 29, 2015

What do you dislike more, Independent strong woman or the English language? #AskELJames

— Trevor Donovan (@TrevDon) June 29, 2015

That moment when #AskELJames hashtag is way more interesting than her books

Today E. L. James learned the valuable lesson that "A lot of people bought my work" is not the same as "Everyone likes me" #AskELJames

— Dean Burnett (@garwboy) June 29, 2015

#AskELJames you do realize that if Grey wasn't a billionaire, the 50 Shades trilogy would be one hell of a Law & Order episode?

The film version of E.L. James’s best selling erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey is well on the way, as the author decided to treat fans with a photo of one of the most coveted of props: the key to Christian Grey’s ‘Red Room of Pain’.

She didn’t give too much away, captioning the image with a simple “#nuffsaid”.

The film is at the editing stage and when Director Sam Taylor Johnson was asked if it turned out how she wanted, she replied: “Absolutely. Yeah. I’m excited.”

So are we!
