James Franco Brings Graphic Gay Sex To Sundance With Interior Leather Bar

By: Katey Rich Thank God for James Franco. Sure, the multi-hyphenate movie star often seems a little too obsessed with pushing the boundaries of his own career, or for acting too cool for things like hosting the Oscars, or making documentaries that no one understands and never sees the light of day.

James Franco Directing Lindsay Lohan Biopic… Sort Of

By: Katey Rich At this point, "unpredictable" doesn’t even begin to describe James Franco. The recent Oscar nominee AND Oscar host, who in 2010 had roles in both the goofy comedy Date Night and Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, has done everything recently from playing an artist based on himself on General Hospital to shooting a goofy comedy with his old pal Seth Rogen– all while … Continue reading James Franco Directing Lindsay Lohan Biopic… Sort Of
