James Franco

Ewww, you just know he's gonna look like Mickey Rourke when he grows older.

I will watch anything he is in. Something about him just absolutely does it for me. I actually thought Flyboys and Annapolis were both really good, and not just for him. For some reason, he is also an actor crush that my boyfriend doesn't mind. That sketch of him and Mila Kunis impersonating The Hills is great. I think it was linked here already, though.

I just complained about his penchant for army movies, but having just viewed him in In The Valley of Elah, I have to compliment how tall and rangy and tanned and muscular he looked during his 5 minutes of screen time as a sergeant. So I am all for seeing him in military fatigues. More please.

Acting with James Franco (and his brother Dave)

I loved him as Daniel Desario.

The link doesn't work for me but I've seen this a few days ago and loved it, it's hilarious Is that really his brother?

[msofarc]

The code is right but I'm not sure why it doesn't go to the page.

Yep, IMDB says that's his real brother.

He graduated from UCLA last month and is moving to New York to attend grad school.

Being a movie star isn't enough for James Franco.

The gorgeous actor graduated from UCLA last month at the age of 30, after quietly taking English literature courses for years.

And he's not stopping there. In September, Franco will move from L.A. to New York to attend graduate school at NYU.

The "Spider-Man" star joins a small but noble cadre of celebrities who have found that fame and fortune aren't as fulfilling as they may seem. Natalie Portman got a B.A. in psychology at Harvard, Queen guitarist Brian May got a Ph.D. in astrophysics, Bill Cosby and former Knick Dick Barnett both got doctorates in education, and Shaquille O'Neal fulfilled a promise to his mother to finish school after he dropped out of LSU to join the NBA. He went on to get an MBA, and wants to go for advanced degrees in criminology and art history.

Franco, who so distinguished himself as an actor in "James Dean" that Robert De Niro personally cast him in "City by the Sea," has always loved to write. He has co-written and directed "The Ape," "Fool's Gold" and "Good Time Max."

Despite his Hollywood success, his parents were disappointed when he dropped out of college in his teens to star in such hits as "Freaks and Geeks." But he did his homework in between 50 film and TV projects, including the hilarious upcoming Seth Rogen pot flick "Pineapple Express." And it wasn't just to please Mom and Dad.

"I am going back to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I'm interested in," Franco told us. "That is the best way to learn.

"For me, being able to act in movies is not having it all. I am interested in other things, and I take my interests seriously. Thus, I'm back in school."

Are you listening, LeBron James?

Good for him!

[Neurochick]

NYU? Good, too bad he's not going to Columbia like Matthew Fox.
