As this weekend's release of the steamiest movie of the year looms, not everyone is rushing out to buy a ticket. With calls to boycott the movie for "glorifying" violence against women, we ask; why is there such a real-life response to this fictional story? The "debasement" continues when Monique is cornered into admitting something verrrrry private. Mega songstress superstar Sia has a social phobia that sees her don wigs for events, cover her face on TV, and wear a paper bag over her head for magazine covershoots. Her approach has raised some interested questions in the age of celebrity: could anxiety ever be used as a marketing tool? And is it possible to like Jacqui Lambie? Show notes Rosie Waterland expected the movie to be a cheesy laugh. Instead, she walked out on the verge of tears. Lisa Wilkinson ripped it a new one, giving it one star. And that's was just for the choc-top she consoled herself with. Here's 10 deeply disturbing things about Fifty Shades of Grey Monique is still blushing.
