Poop Culture / James Franco's Face Does VMAN While His Butt Does Flaunt

For some reason I found James Franco one of the weirdest actor around, nothing really bad about him but nothing really good either.

I am not sure if his "I don't feel like being here" attitude is an act or it's just the way his energy is but it gets annoying. I mostly disliked him during the Oscars last year looking at the poor Anne Hathaway struggling to host the event ... anyway! Today we are here to talk about James Franco's ass which is maybe more appropriate.

So if you like James Franco, you can pick up a copy of VMAN where his face is the focus point and if you want to know more about his ass then check out Flaunt where his butt graces one of the two covers.

Apparently the ass did not get the attention he wanted (poor thing) out two weeks ago it only went 'viral' now ... Looking at the cover of VMAN I kind of get why magazines would rather feature his butt, or maybe I am totally wrong and the cover is paying homage to shows like "The Wlaking Dead" ... after all Halloween is upon us!

If you wish to see the full cover butt, it's after the jump.

Gucci Upgrading James Franco to Men's Made-to-Measure

After being the aqualicious spokesperson of Gucci by Gucci [James Franco all wet for Gucci by Gucci] Gucci is upgrading James Franco to their brand new men's made-to-measure service.

Frida Giannini, Gucci's creative director, said: "James has an innate ability to fuse classic elegance with contemporary style and interpret formal wear in an individual way."

Whatever that means ... I guess she likes him!

According to Gucci, made-to-measure suits will start at £1,900 when the service becomes available in 11 boutiques worldwide by the end of the year. Customers will be able to choose from 178 possible combinations of colours and fabrics.

James Franco was photographed for the campaign at the Roman film studio, Cinecittà by Nathaniel Goldberg.

More Photos Of James Franco By Terry Richardson For Vogue Hommes

Last week we have discovered the cover of Vogue Hommes International with James Franco photographed by Terry Richardson [James Franco By Terry Richardson For Vogue Hommes International S/S 2011]

Today we enjoy more photos of James in this "irresistible" editorial. The cover is one of my favorite pictures of James Franco. Not being a huge fan of Terry Richardson's work, I always felt like I was not in the 'hipster-wagon'  ... so I was really happy to like it :-)  As far as the editorial, well, I don't hate it but I don't like it neither ...

Here is another fashionable Vogue cover preview of James Franco by Terry Richardson for Vogue Hommes Paris International spring summer issue. I think it's a great picture of James, sexy!

2011 Oscar: James Franco in Drag, Anne Hathaway in Tux!

So the Oscars are over and it was a 'typical-painful' Oscar's night, hosted this year by James Franco and Anne Hathaway. I have to say that I loved the opening video of Franco and Hathaway doing an ‘Inception’ in Alec Baldwin’s mind. Which happens to be all the Best Picture nominees.

The best part, Black Swan, with Anne doing the Brown Duck dance and James Franco wearing tight white cute dancer outfit (which had to do a lot with the fact that I liked that segment) Watch the video after the jump.

On another note I found a bit tacky to joke on 'ambien' at the Oscars knowing that it was a combination of such drugs that killed 28-year-old actor Heath Ledger. But then again that is just me.

The big relieve of the night for me was that James' arm grew back! Good for him ;-) But mostly James looked like he did not give a crap about hosting the Oscar, which was great because he was looking like most of us looked in front of our tv's. We felt your pain James ... by the way can you really say no when the Oscars approch you to host !? Does a negative answer 'might' influence your future nominations !? I am just wondering !? ...

There was a fun vocabulary malfunction courtesy of Melissa Loe from The Fighter who dropped the F-bomb, that massive beeeeep woke me up! The fighter that I haven't seen yet, mostly because I cannot stand Christian Bale (who won an Oscar tonight) I do not know why but Christian Bale kind of freaks me out, there' something in his eyes that is telling you: 'There's about a 50% chance that I might just blow any minute" so I rather stay away from him, even on screen, and I know I am French but I still can't figure out his accent, I though he was Australian or something.

What I have learned tonight is that I mostly did not care for any movies in particular. I did enjoyed watching The King's Speech and I am happy that Colin Firth who already deserved an Oscar for his performance in A Single Man finally got some recognition tonight. I was bummed that Geoffrey Rush lost vs Christian Bale ...

The singing performance of the night was supposed to be around the "Burlesque" theme but since the movie was not nominated (for obvious reasons) and Franco's voice reportedly was "too horrible", it was scrapped.

Thankfully the back up plan was James Franco wearing an unflattering pink gown and Marilyn Monroe-style wig, Anne Hathaway meanwhile took the duty as the man by wearing a tux. Funny! Watch this video after the jump.

Wierd moment: Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law having some fun talking about the drugs and prositutes Downey Jr. used to feast on... I did not really get it! Was it to proove to Ricky Gervais that Robert Downey Jr. can totally joke about himself!? Weird ... Oh! and there was also Kirk Douglas ... honestly, it was painful to watch and since I could not understand a single word he was saying, I took the opportunity to go to the kitchen to check on our food!

I almost 'died' (no pun intended) of boredom when Celine Dion came on stage to sing during the tribute to the dead ... sadly, an appropriate performance!

Throughout the night James has posted several photos, such as him channeling his inner drag, or posing with Anne and Oprah...



and the most random backstage (and on stage) videos on his twitter account. I love that James is using one of my favorite app on the iphone to make movies '8mm'. Among those videos:

James Franco taking the elevator (notice the super cute guy next to him, I am pretty sure that it's his super sexy brother Dave Franco):



There's also the moment him and Anne entered the Kodak theater' stage, James Franco getting a hand massage by Anne, James drag-ready minutes before hitting the stage, watch all those videos after the jump.

If the 'tradition' in Hollywood is to kind of look down at the ceremony as something boring (and it is) but I still remember how Alek and I used to stay awake most of the night to watch the show from Paris ... So now that we are leaving in Los Angeles and can almost touch the red carpet from our pool, it still remains something 'magical' and so Hollywood! Even if we were not at the ceremony itself (thank god, I rather be home making a nice dinner) I have to say that we got pretty good seats ;-)

Oscar Hosts James Franco & Anne Hathaway in 'Grease'

James Franco has just updated his twitter account with a link to this video of him and Anne Hathaway aka Danny and Sandy from Grease. Grease was seriously one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, I would say that I have watched it 'way' more than the average ... Watch Anne Hathaway and James Franco rehearsing their Grease performance below:
