'Fifty Shades' adds a roommate, and more news to note

Today's talk you might've missed:

  • Now that "Fifty Shades of Grey" has finally found someone to play Christian Grey - or at least someone who hasn't quit yet - the production can return to trying to fill out the rest of the cast. Remember the BFF Anastasia Steele has in the books, Kate? She'll be played by Eloise Mumford. [Variety]
  • "Alice in Wonderland 2" is really happening, and actually already has a release date. Starring Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp once again, the Disney pic will arrive in May 2016, after Jon Favreau's live-action "Jungle Book" arrives on October 9, 2015. [THR]
  • This may be one of the best rounds of Jimmy Kimmel's "celebs read mean tweets" segment yet. He brought some heavy hitters with this one, including Amy Poehler, John Krasinski, Larry David and Julia Louis-Dreyfus:

  • Today was trailer Friday, and somehow both of these two clips crammed in at least one sex scene. First up, here's the teaser for season three of "Girls," which will bow on January 12 with two fresh episodes back-to-back:
