James Franco’s NYU Professor Fired for Giving Him a ‘D’

GASP! A celebrity given preferential treatment because of their status? ESCANDALO! I know, I know…North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong II, has died leaving the country wondering what their future will entail, but I am calling this news. It’s escapism. Yeah, we will go with that.

James Franco allegedly skated his way through obtaining his Masters from NYU. He rarely showed up to classes and when he did, he was passed out and drooling as fellow classmates took pictures. (See above.) According to one of James’ professors, José Angel Santana, all those rumors are true.

Billy Crystal to Host Oscars

Ah, the Oscars. One hour of sparkly dresses that Joan Rivers will somehow turn into a vagina joke that is followed by nearly 4 hours of nap inducing tv. The Academy Awards has had a tumultuous week as producer Brett Ratner angered the gay community after using the “F” word. This move was Ashton Kutcher level of dumb being that women and fashionably sensitive gay men make up the Oscars target audience.

Brett issued a sorry statement ant then exited stage left on the awards. I am sure it was more like being yanked off stage with a giant hook, but will give Ratner a Yeah, Okay anyway. Eddie Murphy then hit the ESC button on being host in protest.

Emma Watson may not have time to finish her studies at Brown University despite having help from James Franco, but she has had time for some onset romance. Watson and her ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ co-star, Johnny Simmons, are dating.

James Franco Inspired Emma Watson – VOGUE SPREAD

Unless this ends with a joke about pot, I am not sure how pure a conversation between James Franco and any human being would truly be. I digress, Emma Watson credits James Franco for giving her advice on navigating the waters of fame and college.

Watson was trying to a blooming career in fashion, press junkets, filming the final two Harry Potter films all while attending Brown University. It became overwhelming and Franco shed some light on her attempt at combining work and school.

It’s the time of year when Oscar winning movies take on teen favorites in the MTV Movie Awards. Already announced, SNL’s Jason Sudeikis will host the show on Sunday, June 5th. Justin Bieber is even up for an award!

James Franco and Anne Hathaway HATE Each Other

March 1, 2011 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

The 2011 Oscars were as boring as ever and despite ABC’s attempt to appeal to a younger generation and repeatedly mention how “hip” the event was…the awards show failed.

Monday morning critics ripped the event and a lot of blame fell upon James Franco’s OVAH THIS attitude and Anne Hathaway’s overcompensating energy. The lack of chemistry was painfully obvious between James and Anne and sources told Us that it was due to the fact that they “hated each other” by the end of the ordeal.

“She had to provide all the energy — he was just phoning it in,” says a second insider. (“James seemed in his own little world,” during the Oscar telecast, says another source. “Producers were pissed.”

Rep’s for James say that the mag’s story is completely untrue, but I actually believe this one. It was like watching Lindsay Lohan attempt rehab…just sad and a big flop. They won’t be returning any time soon as Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal are both up for the job again.

The theme of the night screamed “THE OSCARS ARE NOW HIP AND FUN!!!! YOU ARE HAVING FUN!!!” Too bad it was the typical snoozefest despite Anne’s high on life energy. She was brought down by Franco’s Ovah This Mess/Probably Stoned Right Now demeanor. Even with James briefly dressed as Marilyn Monroe and a skit in which he was in a white skintight leotard couldn’t save things from the sleepy state. Half way through the show most of the celebs were ready to hand over the Best Actor statue to Colin Firth and get to the bar already.

James Franco Talks about Watching Male Hooker ‘Work’ – VIDEO

December 13, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Here is a lovely story that James Franco will be able to share with his family for years to come. Kinda like the stories my Uncle Frank (eerie isn’t it?) shares with us every holiday. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without The Tale of the Vietnamese Prostitute.

Franco was doing research for his role in ‘Sonny’ in which he played a male prostitute. He shared the experience with a giddy James Lipton during ‘Inside the Actors Studio.’

“I found this guy that was kind of a perfect model,” Franco said. “He claimed to service both males and females. He took me on one of his jobs. He says, ‘Oh, you’re playing a male prostitute? You wanna do some real research? Come with me right now.’ And I said, ‘Well I’m not gonna do anything…’ and he said, ‘Aw, this guy’s so coked out of his mind, he won’t even know you’re there. Just sit in the chair in the corner and take your shirt off and it’ll be fine.’

“It went down. Everything went down, as you see in the movies and hear about. The eerie thing is, it was like a movie, but it wasn’t a movie — it was the real thing, happening in front of me.”

It’s a good thing he was able to capture my attention with words like ‘gigolos’ and ‘take off your shirt’ because all I can think when I see him with that facial hair is…grossest mustache ride ever. However, Ryan Seacrest’s school picture approves.

James Franco and Anne Hathaway to Host Oscars

November 29, 2010 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

James Franco Will Bathe and Hopefully Look Hot Again should be the title, but I opted for something that implies it instead. Anne Hathaway, fresh out of the gate after pimping “Love and Other Drugs” with a plethora of nude covers with Jake Gyllenhaal, will team up with Franco to host the most anticipated award show of the year. (Unless you are a Jolie-Pitt. Then the most anticipated moment of the year is when the bathroom is free of Maddox perfecting his This Bitch look or Shiloh pinning up pics of Chaz Bono.)

Via Deadline:

“I’ve just learned that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has asked James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Academy Awards, and it “looks like” both young stars have accepted the offer. There is always the chance that one or both of them might back out because of prior commitments and other concerns. But my sources say the host announcement could be made as soon as this week.”

Franco and Hathaway were rumored to be co-starring in an “Alien” prequel so watch out for rumors to follow should this turn out.
