Irish middle aged women have credited ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ for causing an upsurge in their sex lives.

E.L. James, whose own husband is Irish, was the queen of the Irish book market in 2012. Her worldwide smash hit sexy trilogy ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ sold an approximate $4 million in Ireland, making her the highest earning writer in the Irish market for the year.

The Irish husband of “Fifty Shades of Grey” author EL James has denied he was the inspiration for the erotic bestseller.

An Irish woman has just landed a lucrative publishing deal after her spoof version of international publishing phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey got picked up by a major publisher recently.

While Irish book sales have plummeted, EL James' erotic novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is still going strong, selling nearly as many copies in its first four months as 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' did.

As if dominating worldwide book sales wasn’t enough, ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ will now be issuing an accompanying classical music album to the trilogy.

Billboard reports that ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ author E.L. James has selected fifteen classical tunes to be part of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey - The Classical Album.’

A “Fifty Shades of Grey” inspired sex festival is being held in Dublin this weekend with hundreds expected to attend.

Ryan Gosling and Irish heartthrob Michael Fassbender have been tipped by bookmakers as the favorite to play the lead role in a Hollywood adaptation of literary and “mommy porn”  sensation “50 Shades of Grey.”

The author of "Fifty Shades of Grey” has stated that she wrote her books to spice up her sex life with her Irish-born husband Niall Leonard.

After a huge bidding war, it was announced last week that E L James' 'Fifty Shades of Grey' had finally been sold to Universal Pictures and Focus Features.  Already the Internet is buzzing with speculation over who will play the controlling 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey in the film adaptation of the erotic best-selling novel and its sequels.

With the news that Universal Pictures won the bidding war for the rights to produce the film version of the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ trilogy, gossip is flying as to whether or not Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will claim the two lead roles. ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ originated as a piece of fan-fiction based on - you guessed it - the ‘Twilight’ saga.
