Movie Reviews and Previews James Franco: the $7 million third choice Oz: The Great And Powerful covers The Hollywood Reporter this week. It’s a good “business of Hollywood” article on Disney’s $200 million big hope and, instead of kissing the studio’s ass, asks the question: will Oz be an Alice In Wonderland, or will it be more like By Lainey • Feb 27, 2013 03:47 pm
Douchebags The Artist James Franco is sexist? James Franco was the Grand Marshall of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, a promotional gimmick for Oz: The Great And Powerful. The Grand Marshall has four words to say: Drivers, start your engines! But since James Franco is pure artistry, he had to modify the introduction. Of course. Traditions don’ By Lainey • Feb 26, 2013 01:57 pm

Douchebags Inauguration Poetry Yahoo! asked James Franco to write a poem in honour of President Obama’s inauguration. He didn’t say no. So I feel like most of our disgust should be directed at Yahoo! This poem would not have happened if they hadn’t requested it. The “poem” is really just By Lainey • Jan 21, 2013 03:48 pm
Dumbass Dear James Franco, tell us what to think of The Canyons But first... A quick update on the Loser of 2012, Lindsay Lohan. Lohan bailed on Barbara Walters on the good advice of her new PR team. Instead she’s doing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Barbara is mad. And she played a clip from Part 1 of their interview, By Lainey • Nov 13, 2012 04:58 pm
Hook Ups Dear Professor Franco, his name is Walter Salles A new entry from Professor James Franco on The Huffington Post. This time, he writes about his teaching method. Yes. His teaching method. Of course, because his teaching method is the best, like everything else the Artist Franco does, his students are excelling, and he takes the opportunity to brag By Lainey • Oct 25, 2012 12:01 pm
Hook Ups What Goes Around Version 2. Bieber featuring James Franco as Sean Avery Justin Timberlake’s best friend Trace Ayala used to be with Elisha Cuthbert. Cuthbert allegedly cheated on Ayala with Sean Avery (um, I know) so JT supposedly wrote What Goes Around to call her out. This, of course, was before Olivia Munn. Ahem. Justin Bieber’s friend Ryan Good was By Lainey • Oct 23, 2012 04:25 pm
TIFF 2012 Coverage TIFF REVIEW: Spring Breakers. Or the time I felt like I did 47 jello shots and passed out with no clothes on I debated about writing my Spring Breakers experience as one long stream of consciousness because trying to articulate my feelings about this film in any other form seemed almost impossible. But here goes… I left the movie, directed by cult film icon Harmony Korine, feeling like I had just spent By Dan • Sep 13, 2012 11:12 am
Dumbass James Franco on the art form There’s a new piece by James Franco on HuffPo. This is the opening paragraph: “I was in New York for a week and saw a few things and read a few things that got me thinking about the ways different art forms use fantasy and reality. As summer closes, By Lainey • Aug 28, 2012 02:32 pm
Style Oz looks good The first trailer for Oz: The Great & Powerful was released yesterday in time for Comic-Con. I love it. I love everything about it.

Girly Throw Downs Things I Didn't Know Until This Morning The day I learned how to look at my internet history is one of the saddest of my life. Not because of what I looked at, per se, (although some days...) but because there's that tab for “Today”. You can see all the stuff you looked at JUST By Duana • Jun 19, 2012 03:13 pm
Paul Rudd You Needed His Opinion? I've heard stories about some people in this industry, and I've told a few myself. Some ridiculous, and some just eyeroll-y, and a few really sweet. This is the nature of the beast, we talk constantly about the bold-face names we write about all the time, By Duana • Jun 01, 2012 01:08 pm
Douchebags Mila’s Photo Assumption: Franco or Kutcher? Love these pictures of Mila Kunis up on stage with James Franco at CinemaCon yesterday to promote Oz: The Great And Powerful. Franco, of course, is the Artist. She had the privilege of standing beside him while he educated the audience on his artistry. I mean her face says it By Lainey • Apr 25, 2012 12:08 pm
Douchebags James Franco on James Franco on James Franco on James Franco Like a million layers of James Franco. I suppose art has always been vain but James Franco, the Artist, seems to be stretching that vanity to new limits. This is Franco last night at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Francophrenia (Or: Don’t Kill Me, I Know Where The By Lainey • Apr 23, 2012 04:36 pm
Douchebags James Franco: Tristan sucked and so did Prague James Franco wrote an article for The Daily Beast about his favourite subject: James Franco. The purpose of the piece, I think, is to educate us on how he chooses his roles now, reflecting on past experiences to explain how an important Artist, THIS important Artist, decides between all the By Lainey • Apr 19, 2012 03:47 pm
James Franco Intro for April 18, 2012 Dear Gossips, Here’s the thing about how “arty” James Franco has become: even when he’s just messing around, you wonder if he’s actually just messing around, or whether or not, in a month or so, suddenly what was just a spell of silliness will become an installation By Lainey • Apr 18, 2012 09:39 am
