Let’s break this down. In the first video, Franco is singing Gomez’s hit, “Love You Like A Love Song.” He’s got Kevin Federline-esque braids and is sitting passenger side while someone films him from the back seat.

For whatever reason, a handful of celebrities want to expand their horizons, so they decided to head back to college.
Kudos to them for chasing after a higher education, because I think most of us would settle on ‘Celebrity’ as a career, head to Maui, and sip on Mai Tais for the rest of our lives. But here you have them—5 celebs who went back to college.
James Franco: What college
Okay, so there’s a little more depth than that. James Franco is also in it, playing a tatted up, dreadlock-wearing drug dealer.

So basically, Franco constantly begs the question, is there anything Franco can't do? No, Nothing. There is nothing that Franco can't do. Well maybe there's one thing he's not very good at...
Porn.
Franco stopped by Conan's show to talk about his failed foray into porn acting.
"When I was young, it's not like I went down to Van Nuys and tried to break into the porn industry, I got a video camera and my girlfriend and I decide to film ourselves," he tells Conan, "And I watched it back said 'Yeah, let's never watch that again."
In an interview with Playboy magazine recently, Franco said he thinks critics aren’t going to like “Rise of the Planet of Apes” and he assumes they are going to make Franco take the blame, “Critics will be out to kill this movie and blame me for it just because they are out to kill me. Last year people were pretty nice. This is the year when people are going to have fun going after me,” says Franco.
Hollyscoop caught up with Franco at the films premiere and asked him to clarify what he meant when he predicted that critics would hate on him in this film.
