After several agonizing months, we finally know who we should picture when we close our eyes and imagine the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey. The lucky winners of the sexy starring roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are blond hottie Charlie Hunnam and daughter of Hollywood royalty Dakota Johnson. Now all that's left is for, you know, the movie to be made.

Which means ... more waiting. Sure, the team behind Fifty Shades knows exactly how excited we all are, and in that vein, they've already promised us a trailer to be released in early 2014.

The new year might be just around the corner, but it certainly doesn't feel that way. We need our Christian and Ana fix much faster than that!

How are we supposed to pass the time waiting for our first glimpse of the movie? Patience may be a virtue, but it is also so boring. We've been wracking our brains, and there are a few ways we can think of to pass the time.

We could re-read all the books, earmarking certain scenes to email the movie's team about including. We could also get our fan-girl selves on in full by creating beautiful photo collages of Charlie Hunnam (bonus points if said collages feature blingees). We could watch the entire first season of Dakota's canceled FOX show Ben & Kate to get a sense of her acting abilities. Or we could sift through the contents of the entire Internet looking for any choice tidbits to satiate our curiosity. We could even make our OWN official trailers with Hunnam and Johnson.

Hmm. So many choices. Maybe we should just watch all those unofficial teaser trailers made by fans for the millionth time. Oh, wait. We've already been doing that while we were waiting for the cast to be announced. Guess we need a little of that virtue called patience after all.

How are you going to pass the time until the trailer's released in 2014?

3-Year-Old Boy's Accidental Death Is Not Enough to Stop Dad From Supporting Guns

Heartbreaking tragedy struck in Dundee, Michigan yesterday afternoon when 3-year-old named Damon Holbrook fatally shot himself in the head. The little boy found a loaded 40-caliber Smith and Wesson firearm on the floor of a bedroom closet, police say. It reportedly belonged to Joshua Michael Greenhill, a friend of Damon's father, Brian Holbrook, who was living with the family.

Greenhill, who has a permit to carry the gun involved in the incident and has no criminal record, has since been arrested on charges of manslaughter and gross negligence. Meanwhile, in the midst of his devastation, Damon's father took to Facebook to set the record straight on his position on guns  ...

Holbrook wrote (all sp):

Yesterday I lost my 3yrd son to a gun accident. We r all hoping to wake up from this nightmare. ... I have nothing wrong with guns it's with this country was built on. I will still support the Second Amendment. All I ask is that everyone please, please safety first lock it up and put it out of reach of anyone that has no business being around a gun especially kids.

Agh. I have to admit, I don't completely, personally agree with Damon's dad on this ... I feel like recent events, perhaps even including this traumatic incident, do make a case for stricter gun control laws. However, I have to respect Holbrook for standing up for what he believes -- which is that this horrific accident and similar ones that we've heard of far too often shouldn't necessarily mean withdrawing support for the right to bear arms. This isn't a black and white issue.

That said, what he's asking of fellow gun supporters and owners is so important. Acting responsibly and safely must come first. As for how far we as a country and a community and even individual citizens want to take that, the jury's still out, but I'm sure we can all agree that it is imperative to preventing even more heart-wrenching, untimely deaths like little Damon's.

What are your thoughts on Holbrook's Facebook post?

Father-to-Be's Crazy Police Chase to Hospital Proves He’s Not Mature Enough to Be a Dad

When it comes to having a baby, there's a lot you have to worry about. Whether or not you'll get to the hospital on time is one. And dad-to-be panicking is another. Add getting to the hospital and dad-to-be panicking together and it can be a recipe for disaster! One man found himself on the wrong end of the law while racing to the hospital to see the birth of his child. The hitch? Mom was already in an ambulance. But that didn't stop dad from careening down the highway like he was in a remake of Smokey and the Bandit. And you won't believe how much law it took to finally get new dad to pull over!

It all started when a cop noticed a man speeding and zigzagging across freeway lanes in San Diego. The officer flashed his lights and tried to pull the car over, but Smokey just kept smokin' down the highway, refusing to slow down.

So the officer called for backup. More cop cars showed up and tried to pull him over to no avail, so a police helicopter was added to the mix. Starting to sound like a scene from Goodfellas.

Finally, police got ahead of the speeding car and set up a spike strip along the highway. Not an easy thing to do since you've got to catch your man but not spike every other car traveling on the road.

But it worked and the guy's tires were blown out. Cops descended with guns drawn. When he got out of the car, he admitted he had seen the cops and decided to ignore them. But he had an interesting excuse for his reckless driving.

His wife was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and he wanted to be on time for the birth! Police were able to check and make sure his story was true. He wasn't charged, but could be later.

Hey, I admire his dedication to seeing his baby born, but really, dude? You had to endanger not only everyone else on the highway, and the cops, but yourself too?

Here's a clue, Smokey: Your wife needs you now. So does your baby. They don't need you dead. They don't need you in jail for killing or injuring someone else. Not to mention you could have pulled over and explained the situation and probably got a police escort.

Now you're a dad. You have a little person depending on you being alive.

Slow the hell down, bro.

Did your husband drive like a maniac on the way to the hospital?
