What's it like to do an online 'internship' with Christian Grey? In E.L. James' bestselling 'Fifty Shades of Grey', one of Christian Grey's 50 shades is that he is a very successful businessman. Specifically, he's the CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc., which is filled with blonde interns running around in their nicest heels desperate to get recognized by the beautiful boss man.

Still, it can revel in this tiny victory: In the battle between Bay-produced jumbles of '80s kid nostalgia, 'Turtles' is head-and-shell better than 'Transformers'. Cowabunga?
