USA to Adapt Talk Stoop For Daytime Block

Hit cable channel USA is getting into the daytime game. According to The New York Times, USA is adapting Cat Greenleaf’s Talk Stoop for its daytime block. The interview show is currently broadcast in the top nine television markets on NBC.

Stephen Amell vs. Matt Bomer: Who Should Play Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey?

Could Arrow’s Stephen Amell land the high-profile role of Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey movie? In a Facebook video, Amell teased fans with the tidbit he’d had a meeting about the role, but cautioned that the project is a long way off.


"I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," he says in the post. "That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."

Amell’s video comes at a time when Harry Potter’s Emma Watson is denying rumors she’s been cast as the naïve, but equally sought after role of Anastasia Steele, Zap2it reports.

Magic Mike, White Collar and former Guiding Light star Matt Bomer is another hunk whose name keeps popping up as a possibility to portray Christian Grey.
