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.

Monica Cruz looks almost exactly like big sis Penelope Cruz, in fact she was her stand-in for “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” She is an actress too and has done a handful of films but made headlines when she and Penelope shared a girl-on-girl kiss for their brother’s music video. Apparently, incest is okay if both siblings are super attractive?

James told Politico that he feels too much time is wasted on the sites and insisted that the trend will no longer be relevant in a few years.
"Social media is over. Still up there. Going down. You heard it here first," he said.
"If you want to write, make the time. We all have an hour or two a day that can be used for surfing Facebook or writing. No one is going to beg any new writer to write."
Maybe he's bitter because thousands of fans took to twitter to complain about what a bad host he was at the Academy Awards earlier this year. There's no excuse for that one James, you simply sucked at the job.
Do you agree with James? Is Social Media dead? Or is he just bitter because of all the bad press he's been getting?
