James Franco and his grandmother poked some holiday fun at the reactions people have to Franco’s film 127 Hours.
In the film, Franco is a stranded hiker who’s arm is trapped under a rock and he performs an amputation on himself. It is unsettling for some and a few movie goers have fainted during the intense scene.
The studio launched a campaign “I Kept My Eyes Open For 127 Hours” and Franco’s family is decked out in the slogan shirts.
But Franco’s grandmother steals the show when asked what she thought of people who couldn’t stomach it. She says “I think they’re a bunch of p*****s!”

James Franco and Anne Hathaway are set to host the 83rd Annual Academy Awards!
Oscar telecast producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer announced just now that “James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons— fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27. We are completely thrilled that James and Anne will be joining forces with our brilliant creative team to do just that.”
Very young hosts this year, it’s an interesting choice. Much like the expansion of the Best Picture category from 5 to 10 films that started last year, this seems like an attempt to bring up the ratings by pulling in a younger audience. They are actually both very talented and funny, I’m sure they will be great.

James Franco just taped an episode of Inside the Actors Studio and he was in such high demand, the staff had to turn away 250 people. After James finished the interview,
“James stayed another hour-and-a-half after the taping and talked to every single student and fan who wanted to talk. No one has done that since Paul Newman … the very first guest that ever appeared on the show.”
The lady fans were heard throughout the interview, shrieking for the sexy James that they couldn’t get enough of. The interview is set to air next month and I don’t think I want to miss it. Sounds pretty “intense.”

The heavily buzzed about upcoming Untitled Alien Prequel has a good possibility of starring Anne Hathaway and James Franco.
Whether they’re just fans of the franchise or want to work with director Ridley Scott, it seems like much of young Hollywood is circling the currently the Untitled Alien Prequelthat’s in pre-production. Last week, word broke that 20th Century Fox loved Damon Lindelof’s rewrite of the script and that Natalie Portman was on top of a short list to star as the lead. There are now reports that Anne Hathaway and James Franco are also interested in being a part of the film.
Both of them have proved themselves as quality actors in independent small films as well as big budget blockbusters. The upcoming prequel or prequels will have a huge following, I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done with modern effects.

OK, let me just get one thing off my chest first here. James Franco is pretty cool. He’s hot, he’s crazy smart, he’s a little creepy… and at the moment, he’s everywhere. I’ve read so many interviews with him lately that I have honestly reached the point of James Franco over-saturation. But before I go check myself into rehab, here’s one more: James is on the cover of Esquire‘s September 2010 issue (another Fall Fashion Issue, by the way).
And of all the wacky things in the article, the most noteworthy is his opinion on Twilight. Evidently he’s reading the book for a “project,” and here’s what he’s learned:
“It’s crazy how much sexual tension there is. It just builds and builds. I mean it never stops. It’s sort of explosive by the end. Crazy. Like they’ll blow up with it. And of course, they don’t…Which is the point too, I guess.”
HELLO! Talk about summing up a cultural phenomenon in a few short sentences.

James Franco just did a stint as an assassin on General Hospital. He recently spoke about his experience on the soap opera, playing an eponymous character, and the influence the soaps have had on his career.
On the weirdness of being on a soap – especially playing a character named Franco: “When I went on General Hospital the first time, I think a lot of people were surprised that I’d be on a soap opera. So already it felt like I was an impostor, that people would look at it and think, ‘What is that guy doing on that show?’ But, in addition to that, they called my character Franco, so that added even more to the situation of standing out from the show in a weird way. It’s hard to forget that it’s me, James Franco the actor, on the show when you’re watching it. What that’s doing, at least in my head, is forcing a viewer to look at the show in a different way. It’s pulling real life into a fictional world.”
On being a soap fan by proxy: “I have to say I didn’t watch a ton, but I really appreciated the structure and the serial nature of it and the history of it. I like a lot of films and shows that pay homage to soaps, like Twin Peaks. In a way, I’ve been like a fan by what soaps have influenced me.”
On the accelerated pace of filming soaps: “They move very, very quickly. I guess I didn’t realize how fast they moved, but I quickly tried to adapt and I think I did OK. I learned all my lines!”
JAMES FRANCO IS ALL WET FOR GUCCI SPORT POUR HOMME

James Franco is the face of Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme fragrances, and he’s all wet in a series of ads for their latest addition to the fragrance line. Gucci by Gucci Sport Pour Homme “captur[es] the healthy, active aspects of the Gucci man’s lifestyle” and
was inspired by the power of the ocean and includes notes of bitter grapefruit, mandarin, cypress, aromatic cardamom, the fruity nectar of Corsican figs, juniper berries, vetiver, patchouli, ambrette seed.
Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini said that Franco is “perfect” for the fragrance because 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.”
To be perfectly honest, I think James looks a little scary. Maybe it comes across better in print.

I have probably only watched one or two episodes of General Hospital ever in my life – we were a CBS soaps household when I was growing up – but I’ll be sure to try and catch a few shows guest starring James Franco. He is all set to play an assassin during a two-month run as mob crook Jason Morgan’s “worst nightmare.” Ooooohhh! Sounds like a soap already!
Check out James in this new promo. Gotta love the chick ripping his shirt off! Enjoy!
