James Franco Abusing Hard Drugs !?!

Actor James Franco may have some serious explaining to do.

The ‘Pineapple Express’ star showed up this weekend at the ‘Saturday Night’ premiere looking a little worse for wear. Apparently, he could barely keep his eyes open during a panel discussion with Saturday Night Live castmembers and was spotted rocking some questionable bruises on his arm. This has led several bloggers to accuse the actor of dabbling into hard-core drug use.

Via Faded Youth:

“Franco has always been an advocate of recreational marijuana use, but his thin frame and frighteningly questionable marks on his middle arm makes one wonder if he hasn’t started dabbling in something harder.”

I must question this however. First of all, I would certainly think that if this allegations had a shred of truth to them, Franco’s people certainly wouldn’t let him attend a public function with his track marks hanging out for the world to see.

Secondly, Entertainment Weekly has reported that Franco has started filming a bi-opic based on the life of Aron Ralston; a mountaineer who had to amputate his own arm after becoming trapped in a canyon. The bruises on Franco’s arm are likely more due to a rigorous filming location that a need for crank.

I hope….

James Franco Gucci Ads

james-franco-gucci-ads

This is basically simply gratuitous. It’s hard to make a legitimate story out of a wet male in a tight black t-shirt. Especially when you are staring at James Franco photoshopped into sexy pool boy.

Franco took some time out of nodding off in classes to model for Gucci’s new cologne, Gucci. (Yes, the clever name isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but its better Arrogant Prick that Smells Good by Gucci.) The Creative Director for the brand gushed about how marvelous Franco’s devil-may-care attitude is.

Via WWD:

“He personifies the sort of nonchalance and unforced appeal that is most attractive in a man. While in the advertising campaign, he captures the fragrance’s casual, modern and masculine air.”

Hmmm…really? He kinda has an ‘I pulled my groin look’ in the first picture. Maybe I am just missing the sexy in this. Thoughts?

Robert Pattinson to Replace Johnny Depp in Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean!?!’

Okay ladies, now would be the time to grab your paper bags for the panic attacks you’re about to experience! Rumor has it that Johnny Depp could be on his way out of the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. The recent exit of Disney studio chief Dick Cook has left Depp so upset, according to MTV, that he no longer cares to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp is already signed up for the the next installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and the studio had planned to give the greenlight to a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, with the talk that Johnny might not be returning to the franchise, the studio is preparing to replace him if and when he decides to bow out of playing the character. This most likely wouldn’t happen until the 5th movie, so Disney is prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him for the 4th.

The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson. The rumored story for the 4th movie involves a pirate’s search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. The story makes room for a younger newcomer, a character who is said to help the pirates in their search for the mythic location.

While this could end up Orlando Bloom’s role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney just could use that character instead as a replacement for Jack Sparrow. Pattinson was once being considered for a role as Sparrow’s brother (read about Disney hunting Robert Pattinson by clicking here.) Could he step up and be Jack himself?

Sean Penn Wants to have Sex with James Franco

The new Harvey Milk biopic, entitled “Milk,” features the semi-hotness of James Franco and the true princess of the divas, Sean Penn. The plot is based around the gay relationship between Milk and his lover, Scott Smith. After Franco scored the role of Scott, a kissing scene mysteriously turned into a full on sex scene.

Gus Van Sant approached him with a script that called for male to male kissing. It is starting to be old hat now that Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger set the standard for homosexual love scenes. Later the script was changed from a simple kiss at the request of his co-star.

“A month after Gus asked me to do it, they sent me another script, and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene. And I was like, ‘Gus, what the heck?’ He says, ‘Well, it was Sean’s idea’.”

Sean’s idea. Are you really surprised? His profile on Match.com reads bitchy bicurious male and his fake name is Vida Von Sausagehausen.

James Franco: Fashion Disaster

This is more of plain disaster. I am hoping that James Franco was dressed impeccably well. Because he looks as though he spent the night trying to escape the lair of Lindsay Lohan. It was an event for the the Cinema Society and Details Screening of ‘Milk ‘. The least he could have done is brushed his hair.
