Charlie Hunnam removes 'Shades' from to-do list

"SONS OF ANARCHY" star Charlie Hunnam has dropped out of the big-screen version of "Fifty Shades of Grey," just weeks after being cast as the seductive billionaire male lead.

Hunnam cited his busy schedule, but unnamed sources told the Hollywood Reporter that the project's high profile gave the actor cold feet.

And if there's one thing you don't want in a movie in which much of your acting is done naked and in bed, it's cold feet.

Dakota Johnson remains in the co-starring role of Anastasia Steele.

Universal/Focus has set a release date of Aug. 1 for the film, so producers are going to have to whip up a new lead quickly.

Taylor Swift opened her $4 million Taylor Swift Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday morning, and accepted her record sixth songwriter-artist of the year award from Nashville Songwriters Association International last night.

Tattle went grocery shopping this past weekend, so we give a small edge to Taylor.

"I'm really excited about this music-education center and the fact that right now they have three different classes going on today," Swift said after the ceremony. "It's really exciting that we can be here on a day when they're not only unveiling it, but they're starting to actively use it today."

The center will have classroom space, a hands-on instrument room and ongoing education opportunities.

Museum officials say that the new center will increase educational opportunities sevenfold going forward.

And who knows? Maybe users will find Taylor hanging around.

"We've been talking about different programs I can be involved in," Swift said. "I hate to call it a lecture, because that sounds like I'm yelling at people, but we could do a Q&A talking to students here, and a songwriters discussion would be really fun to have at some point."

* Hugh Jackman threw himself a birthday party with 4,500 guests, who had to pay to attend.

Hugh spent his 45th birthday Saturday at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, where he sang, danced and told stories for "One Night Only," a benefit concert that raised $1.85 million for the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

Jackman said he donated his birthday performance to the fund because it offers "that unconditional helping hand you get in a family." The organization provides health care and other services to entertainment-industry workers and retirees.

The show ended with Jackman auctioning off an electric Fiat, a pair of Wolverine claws and two sweaty undershirts he wore during the night's performance. The shirts went for $11,000 each to winners obviously unaffected by the government shutdown.

* Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas, who play Snow White and Prince Charming on ABC's "Once Upon a Time," have announced their engagement. And boy are the dwarfs jealous.

The couple, both 35, met while working on the show and began dating in 2011.

Goodwin was previously engaged to actor Joey Kern. Dallas was married to Lara Pulver from 2007-2011.

* Also getting married? "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" star Lauren "L.C." Conrad, who announced yesterday that she's engaged to musician William Tell.

The couple started dating after Tell's overture.
