UNIVERSAL CITY, California — Something strange is happening on the MTV Movie Awards set. While scoping out what was supposed to be a rehearsal for Fun., we saw some workers rolling in ... giant red plush walls?
It looks a bit suspicious, if you ask us. Maybe it's just because we have "Fifty Shades of Grey" on the mind, but our first thought when we saw the set piece was that it was a wall from a giant velvet sex room. And considering the Movie Awards' track record of crazy epic stunts, we wouldn't put it past anyone here.
Of course, it could just be part of a normal set. With everyone from Fun. and Wiz Khalifa to the Black Keys performing at this year's awards show, we wouldn't be surprised if one of them was a closet "Fifty Shades" fan. Maybe we should do some digging and see if we can get some deals signed for the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie. "Howlin' for You" would be an appropriate first track on the album, right?
We even did an "After Hours" with the "Snow White and the Huntsman" cast where we had them read certain erotic sections of the book. Trust us when we say that you haven't lived until you've seen Charlize Theron read the words "oh-so-happy trail."
