Watch: Victoria Justice Says "Fifty Shades" Wasn't "Raunchy"

Who knew Victoria Justice was so kinky?

OK, maybe kinky isn't the right word, but the 21-year-old former Nickelodeon star didn't waste any time seeing Fifty Shades of Grey. Yup, she was one of the gazillion people who flocked to theaters on opening weekend a couple of days ago.

"Going into it I hadn't known what to expect," Justice told me last night at Vanity Fair and Fiat's Young Hollywood party at No Vacancy. "I hadn't read the books or anything."

So, what did she think?

"I was expecting it to be raunchier," Justice said. "It definitely had some steamy moments for sure, but I thought it was going to be a little raunchier."

The Eye Candy star praised Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's work. "I thought they both did a really good job," Justice said. "It was fun." (For more from last night's party, check out E! News tonight at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.)

Madonna was also hoping for something a bit more wild from Fifty Shades—and that's just based on the book. Madge told Billboard magazine last week that she wasn't very impressed by E.L. James's Twilight-inspired erotic novel.

"It's pulp fiction," Madonna said. "It's not very sexy, maybe for someone who has never had sex before. I kept waiting for something exciting and crazy to happen in that Red Room thing, and I was like, 'Hmm, a lot of spanking.' I also thought, 'This is so unrealistic because no guy goes down on a girl that much.' I'm sorry, but no one eats p----y as much as the guy in that book."

The film earned an estimated $94.4 million over its first four days of release in the U.S. another $158 million overseas.
