James Franco, that hunky actor with the perfect face of beauty, stars in the new movie Milk, Hollywood's perfect excuse to get the Spider-Man star to make out with Sean Penn.
Turns out this wasn't Mr. Franco's first foray into filmed homoerotica! As a film student at NYU and Columbia — overachiever alert — he needed to whip up a four-minute film. So what did the prone-to-smirk thesbian student opt to shoot? A scene of guys playing basketball … naked. And like any trustworthy casting director, he turned to Craigslist to find his stars. From Friday's Letterman.

Heyo! Did you know over in Israel they created a beautifier machine that can take any picture of you and analyze your facial structure and then improve upon it as dictated by social norms of physical attributes?
And did you know that James Franco's face, when run through this program, does not reveal any differences whatsoever, meaning that the Pineapple Express actor is basically the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. It's true! Pretty sure that it's in the bible somewhere that Jesus had a perfect jawline and eyes that were symmetrically far apart.
To be fair, the program's purpose was only to subtly change the composite of facial features, to show society that it doesn't always take extreme plastic surgery to improve your looks.
But guess which actor was actually made less attractive after being run through the beautification process?

There is a scene of the chortle-worthy Tropic Thunder, where Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. discuss Sean Penn's Oscar-baiting performance in I Am Sam as "going full retard."
Unfortunately, Penn already booked his new role playing revolutionary gay icon Harvey Milk by the time TT came out, so now you're going to have to survive a couple of months with hearing the term "going full homo" thrown around a lot. Milk trailer, after the jump:

James Franco may play the son of a bad guy in mega-blockbuster Spiderman, but in real life, he isn't exactly Prince Charming, either. Access Hollywood caught up to him to ask him about those recent allegations that he sent Lindsay Lohan down the rabbit-hole to Wonderland, and here's what he had to say:
Actor James Franco came to Park City, Utah to promote his movie "An American Crime," but instead found himself in the middle of a media firestorm. Tony Potts got the only interview.
"James isn't used to all the attention, unlike Lindsay who's followed all the time, especially when she steps away from rehab," Potts reported.
"Have you reached out to her?" Tony asked Franco after running into him at the film festival.
"We're friends," Franco confirmed to Access. "I hope she gets better."
Reports surfaced last week that an unrequited infatuation with James Franco was one reason Lohan ended up in rehab. Her people deny this claim.
"Any chance you may go visit her help her out that way or is it something? " Tony asked Franco.
Shaking his head Franco replied, "No."
And there you have it. The eloquent, possibly gay man, who sent Lindsay Lohan into a diaper-wearing, rehab-going tizzy. We just wish he'd shut the fuck up already, you know?

Looks like Page Six isn't exactly buying Lindsay's "appendicitis" storyline. But then again, neither are we.
In news that should come as no particular surprise, we've learned that reports of Lindsay's "dehydration" have been greatly exaggerated—if not completely made up. An inside source tells us that in spite of her well-publicized (and marginally successful) efforts to clean up her image, Lohan's still been staying true to her hard-partying ways.
She goes to work drunk all the time. She says things like, "You're not even gonna get drunk before you go on set? Just call in 'sick,' like I always do."
On the plus side, at least the high profile (and extremely loose-lipped) starlet isn't paranoid or anything. Our insider tells us:
She is convinced James Franco is gay because he doesn't want to hang out with her.
Alright, so the girl doesn't take rejection well. But that doesn't mean she thinks everyone's out to get her, right?
Wrong. Tattles a thisclose Lohan source:
This chick was at a club and her ex man's new girlfriend was there. And [the ex-girlfriend] was talking shit about her—something about her tits or something like that. Anyway, LL walks by and says, 'Were you just talking about me?' Girl is like, "uhhh, no." LL is like, "Oh yeah? Well then who were you talking about? Oh yeah? What's her name? Where is she?'"
So to clarify: Lindsay Lohan hears someone say "bad tits" and naturally assumes they're referring to her. Also, rejection by a guy equals homo. Now was it the red pill or the green pill that takes away the destructive thoughts?
