James And Dave Franco Want Their Undergrads Web Series To Be ‘An HBO Look’ At College
Dave Franco went to USC and James Franco went to every school, so together they’ve made Undergrads. Even though it’s part-scripted, part-reality, the brothers claim that it’s a more realistic representation than what you see in movies and TV. More »
Trace Cyrus Talks To People Magazine Without Sounding Like A Tool
Am I the only one who thought that Trace Cyrus was anti celebrity bullsh-t like gushing over his engagement to People magazine? Guess not, since he talks about how he’d wait a decade for his “inspiring” fiancee Brenda Strong. More »

10 Things James Franco Should Do Instead Of Writing Another Book
Artiste, director, student, stoner, and actor James Franco is once again trying to infect the world with his “brilliance.” Since Franco’s short story collection Palo Alto was pretty much panned for being an utter piece of shit, he’s decided to have another go at it, but this time he’s writing a novel.
The novel, Actors Anonymous, will be published by Amazon and is supposed to be a fictionalized account of Franco’s trials and tribulations as an actor. He’s done everything else, so he might as well tackle this end of the art world as well.
However, since he’s made it clear with this last attempt that writing isn’t exactly his forte, we’ve decided to a make a list of 10 suggestions for the darling for which he may be better suited. Besides self-involved fawning, of course. More »
Demi Moore Will Play Gloria Steinem in Lovelace
There are currently two Linda Lovelace biopics in the works, making the casting announcements all the more confusing. Plus, I still immediately think of the Robin Williams penguin in Happy Feet whenever I hear Lovelace (why did they name a character in a kids movie after a porn star?). For clarification Lovelace is the movie starring Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace, James Franco as Hugh Hefner, and now Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem. More »
Andy Serkis Continues To Outshine His Co-Stars, This Time In The Adventures Of Tintin
Andy Serkis is by far the best part of Tintin, outranking his younger and hotter costar Jamie Bell. The same thing happened with James Franco and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but Andy didn’t even have to show his face! Gotta love that motion-capture technology. More »
This Is What It’s Like To Be James Franco’s Professor
In New York City, Francogate continues to rage on following the news that an NYU professor was fired for giving James Franco a “D” grade, but over in New Haven, another of James’ professors has leapt to his defense with a glowing essay about how terrific and responsible the actor/student is. R. John Williams was James’ adviser and English teacher and he is simply shocked that anyone would give Mr. Franco anything less than a stellar mark. More »
James Franco In Talks To Play Hugh Hefner in Lovelace
Can you imagine getting paid to hang around in bathrobes all day? It looks like that may be something James Franco has to look forward to as he’s in talks to play Hugh Hefner in a Linda Lovelace biopic. (No, not that one… the other Linda Lovelace biopic.) More »

Fund This Book Of Erotic Fan Fiction About James Franco
Oh, Kickstarter, that fundraising site that makes every vanity project seem like a real work of art. And oh, Portland, that most DIY of towns. Together, they want to bring you “Fucking James Franco,” a book filled with erotic stories of sexual encounters with the man himself. All fictional, of course, since we’re pretty sure James is asexual. Here’s the write-up: More »
Immortals Was Better To Mickey Rourke And Stephen Dorff Than It Was To Freida Pinto
In a movie like Tarsem Singh’s Olympian deathmatch epic Immortals, you have to match the ridiculousness around you. Mickey Rourke and Stephen Dorf—who have both dealt with tumultuous Hollywood careers—met this bizarre action-adventure gorefest with (respectively) an over-the-top villain and some much-needed commentary from the peanut gallery. By contrast, current starlet Freida Pinto suffered a more boring, less dynamic character. More »
Video: Watch James Franco Tell You A Sexy Bedtime Story
Nope, nothing weird here, just 20 minutes of James Franco reciting a story from The Paris Review while lying in bed, shot with a grainy, red video filter. James dramatizes Amie Barrodale’s story “William Wei” as part of the magazine’s new series of fan readings. More »
James Franco Put His Bare Ass On A Magazine Cover
You know, I always kinda figured I’d see James Franco‘s ass one day, but I was pretty sure it would be in person — like at some super cool party in the Hollywood Hills where everyone would drink too much champagne and decide to go skinny dipping. And James’d cannonball over Chloe Sevigny‘s head, and we’d all laugh and laugh and be best friends forever. More »
The Daily WTF: Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses Is A Work Of Genius
Don’t you wish you’d thought of this? I bet you wish you’d thought of this. Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses might just be the best Tumble ever. It’s such a simple, brilliant idea — celebrities whose noses become Ninja Turtles. Do me, do me! More »

Photos of Penn Badgley as Jeff Buckley Are Released, We Just See Hungover Dan Humphrey
There are three flicks about dreamboat musician Jeff Buckley currently in the works (we wrote about them all here), and the first photos from Greetings from Tim Buckley, the film starring Penn Badgley, have hit the web. I’m trying to get on board with this casting choice, but all I see when we look at these photos is Dan Humphrey after a bender (two bottles of wine, in his loft, split with his typewriter), late for coffee with Nate on the Upper East Side. Here’s another set photo, compared to a picture of Jeff Buckley: More »
Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse Need Your Help to Fund Their Short Film
Buoyed by the success of his Funny Or Die videos where he has sex with either Christopher Mintz-Plasse or himself, Dave Franco is looking to go bigger. He and Christopher shot a short film that they want to submit to festivals, but first they need your help. As he explains on their Kickstarter page, they need money to cover post-production costs — $2,500, to be exact. What’s surprising is that they would feel the need to ask for money; don’t they have enough from their latest project Fright Night? More »
Good Going, NYU: Students Can Now Access Celebrity Students/Professors’ E-Mail Addresses
I’m really bummed that the semester after I graduated, NYU will have both James Franco and Nicolas Cage teaching film classes. Plus, Dakota Fanning will be a Gallatin (my alma mater) freshman! But even though I won’t have the chance to bump into these celebrities on campus, I can still e-mail them. More »
