Movie Reviews and Previews Natalie Portman, comedienne Written by Sarah First, let’s get something straight. I don’t dislike Natalie Portman. I like her quite a lot, actually.

Sexiest Man Alive 2010 James Franco Arguments for: - He delivers an outstanding performance in 127 Hours and many say he will be nominated for an Oscar - He has been everywhere – on daytime television, on the festival circuit, on talk shows, on SNL, in comedies, able to straddle art house pictures, comedies, and major motion By Lainey • Nov 15, 2010 12:37 am
BFFs Franco & Copley Two buddy cops, right? It’s a good combination. But first, James Franco is hitting the circuit hard right now promoting 127 Hours, opening this weekend. Highly highly recommend.

James Franco Jon #1 The Daily Show is taping from Washington all week leading up to the Rally to Restore Sanity on Saturday. Want to go. Won’t be going. If you’re going I’m jealous.

Movie Reviews and Previews James Franco: 2 movie weekend On Saturday it was the Your Highness panel at the NY Comic-Con. He and Danny McBride play Fabious and Thadeus and probably smoke a lot of dope and do some dumb sh-t. At least this is what I’m assuming and I won’t bother getting corrected. Do you watch By Lainey • Oct 11, 2010 09:09 am
Amazingness Redemption in drag? Seeing this kinda makes me roll my eyes a little less enthusiastically at his pretention. Check out James Franco on the cover of Candy Magazine, a publication that celebrates “transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations.” He is f-cking hideous. And also a little bit hot. But By Lainey • Oct 06, 2010 04:49 am
Quiveration Passing out over Franco There’s a scene in 127 Hours that is so harrowing, someone actually bailed last night at the TIFF gala nd the paramedics were called.

James Franco James Franco: writer, poet, not gay Great article in The Advocate, cover subject James Franco. They straight up ask him if he’s gay. He says he’s not.

Amazingness So much James Franco I feel about James Franco the way we’re apt to feel about an old boyfriend – don’t want to get with that anymore but (and don’t lie) you want to know the goods: what does he do, did he gain weight, is there a girl/wife, is she By Lainey • Aug 11, 2010 08:28 am

Orlando Bloom Three Whiskers has more whiskers than James Franco But right now they look very similar. Here’s Three Whiskers Orlando Bloom tonight in London at the National Film Awards. Damn.

Cannes 2010 She’s looking better with age Written by Jacek Kirsten Dunst is by no means old but when I look at these photos of her at the amFAR event last night and earlier in the day with James Franco on a local French television show, I’m thinking she’s starting to lose the baby fat By Lainey • May 21, 2010 07:57 am
James Franco I quit you Finally had the chance last night to read James Franco's short story published in Esquire and any vestiges of Freebie Five-ness that I'd been clinging to for him were officially killed. Because He. Is. So. TRY. James Franco is the celebrity Try writing equivalent to Victoria By Lainey • Mar 30, 2010 05:25 am
