Anticipation for the film adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" continues to go full steam ahead as Internet rumors in regards to the Anastasia Steele running continue to heat up.

One of the newest names brought into the mix for the role of the college graduate is actress Analeigh Tipton.

The 24-year-old had inked a deal with Ford Models after appearing in the 11th season of "America's Next Top Model," in which she finished in third place. Tipton then went on to star in a slew of acting roles in both movies and television, which included "The Big Bang Theory," "Hung," "Crazy Stupid Love" and "The Green Hornet," amongst others.

The easy on the eyes actress recently told Pop Sugar that she was indeed "flattered" that the fans have been seriously considering her as a potential Ana.

"It's a role that seems pretty brave. That kind of piques my interest," she said.

Tipton is next set to appear in the upcoming comedic horror "Warm Bodies" as well as "Two Night Stand," which centers on a snowstorm that forces two people to unwillingly extend their one-night stand.

Another name that recently surfaced as a potential candidate for the part of Steele is Amanda Seyfried. Due to her beauty and age, the 27-year-old had been sporadically voted on in a plethora of Internet fan polls.

In her latest film, a biopic titled "Lovelace," Seyfried plays a somewhat similar part to Anastasia Steele as Linda Lovelace, an infamous porno star.

According to Daily Mail, Seyfried admittedly practiced doing fellatio on a popsicle in order to bring a sense of realism to one of the flick's sex scenes.

The Anastasia Steele character is described as a 21-year-old virgin who is very quiet but eventually agrees to the S&M-crazed billionaire Christian Grey's submissive ways.

Up until this point, author E.L. James and the producers of the "Fifty Shades" film still continue to remain relatively discreet on how the casting process will ultimately unfold.
