Is this a joke? Rita Ora cast in ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’...

My anticipation for the highly anticipated steamy new film 'Fifty Shades of Grey' has dropped by about eighty per cent. They just seem to get the casting all wrong (sans the male lead). Perhaps they're just really determined to work on a really tight budget, in case the film bombs at the box office. It probably will, given the latest new casting announcement.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peroxide Blonde has snagged a significant role in the upcoming film. She will play the role of Mia, the adopted and outgoing younger sister of billionaire character Christian Grey. Shocker of all shocks. Rita officially announced the news on Twitter but this news has to be one of the most random of admissions I've come across this year. Mia's character is actually white but since all the Grey children are adopted, it doesn't really matter. The disappointment for this newly announced casting stems from the fact that despite having small roles in '90210' and 'Fast & Furious 6', she is not a seasoned actress. She is very much under-qualified and too inexperienced to take on such a highly pivotal role. On top of that, her profile in the States is not one that is highly established. Honestly, it's become evident that she has the best bloody agent anyone can ask for. So, start asking.
