It was not the best-seller "Fifty Shades of Grey" that popularised bondage, role-play and submission. These terms existed much before the novel came out and it's surprising to find out how many of our very own favourite celebrities, from Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Madonna had confessed "vanilla-sex" is not what they like but there is something more too. A look into the lives of our very own actresses would give some feedback to the lady who will be finally chosen for the role of Anastasia Steele. Find out how

1. Angelina Jolie: She's publicly stated that she's bisexual, talked freely about BDSM and bloodplay, and is open about having bizarre sexual desires. Jolie had a brief relationship with model-actress Jenny Shimizu on the set of Foxfire of which she later said, "I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her." In 2003, asked if she was bisexual, Jolie responded, "Of course. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!"

During her marriage with actor Billy Bob Thornton, the couple famously wore one another's blood in vials around their necks during their marriage. According to a recent report from celebrity website perezhilton.com, her current partner Brad Pitt and Jolie spent $40k converting the old fisherman's shack on the grounds of their French estate into a private "love bungalow" with reportedly "more toys than a preschool!"And it's soundproof too.

2. Rihanna - Rihanna has been open about her likeliness for bondage sex. The singer also has a song titled "S&M" where the lyrics are "Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it, Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it, Sticks and stones may break my bones, But chains and whips excite me"

"I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun," RiRi said in an interview with Rolling Stone.

"I love to be submissive. Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. You get to be a little lady, to have somebody be macho," she added.

In 2011, the Barbados singer told Elvis Duran of Z100's Elvis Duran and the Morning Show "I hope (we do a video for the song). I want to spank Britney."

3. Eva Longoria - Eva Longoria loves being tied up during sex. The actress revealed to Live magazine's Louise Gannon: "I'm not averse to being tied up in silk scarves. I like a man to take charge. There's something very sexy about being submissive."

The 32-year-old actress also revealed she prefers older men (remember the age difference between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey). "I like a man with maturity. Wisdom and experience are very sexy to a woman."

4. Carmen Electra: The Baywatch actress and model "loves sex toys and the whole idea of them."

"It's very naughty. I love lingerie and I love sex toys and the whole idea of them. We all do. I'm a bondage girl myself. I like to be in control sometimes as the dominatrix. But then it's fun to be submissive as well. I can play both parts," Electra told New York Times in 2010.

For the promotion of her debut single "I like it loud" the singer went on to the lengths to receive a public spanking on the number 43 bus in New York! Would Anastasia Steele have gone to these lengths to impress Grey?

5. Christina Aguilera: This singer, who famously shared a kiss with Madonna on stage at the VMAs, has been fiercely open about her bi-sexuality. "I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it. It would be wrong to hide this side of my personality," she told Zoo magazine.

The 32-year-old has also released her video for "Not Myself Tonight," which featured her sharing some S&M-themed moments with another woman. (Would Anastasia here like to get some inspiration from Aguilera?)

6. Nicole Kidman: "I've explored obsession, loss, strange sexual fetish stuff. But I am still on that journey," the actress surprised everyone in a GQ (U.K.) issue of December 2009.

7. Keira Knightley: This is one actress who is good at the "The Fifty Shades" - stuff on-screen but is open about not liking it in real life. Knightley almost turned down the film "A Dangerous Method" because of spanking scenes.

9. Lady Gaga: Need we say anything about her? Her name is synonymous with fetishes. The singer has performed in public wearing racy outfits including a see-through nun costume, complete with crosses over the nipples and a micro-mini skirt.

"I just have this weakness for leather, long hair and a dark side," she said this in an interview with femalefirst.co.uk.

In an earlier interview with PerezHilton, Kesha revealed her fascination for Rihanna.

13. Lucy Liu: The Ling Woo of television series "Ally McBeal" has confessed to liking spanking "if done in a right way."
