James Franco went on Jimmy Kimmel to talk about his new movie 127 Hours, but of course he fielded questions about how in the hell he wound up hosting this year’s Oscars. When the clip above picks up, he had just explained that he and the show’s producer, Bruce Cohen (who also produced James’ movie Milk), were brainstorming about how he could be involved in the show when Bruce asked him if he’d just host the whole thing.
Of course James says he’s mainly hosting the Oscars for the experience, which is seems to be the motivating factor behind most of his career choices these days. Not that that’s a bad thing; Franco is one of the most interesting dudes in showbiz because of his penchant for popping up in kind of odd places… Including the roof of Jimmy Kimmel’s studio.
“I don’t know what I can do about the aging. Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I’m aging all the time. It’s like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?”
- Sarah Jessica Parker to Elle about what it’s like to age in Hollywood without the help of Botox.
Well, that sounds more horrific than it probably needs to, huh?
While The Situation is getting his hustle on more or less flawlessly, his co-star Jwoww is being sued by her ex-boyfriend who’s claiming that he’s responsible for a large chunk of the cash she pulled in this year.
Jwoww is being sued by Thomas Lippolis — who claims he didn’t just date the reality star — but he also served as her business manager … locking down deals with MTV, nightclubs, a tanning lotion company and even a plastic surgeon.
In the lawsuit, filed today in NY, Lippolis claims he was the “sole negotiating agent” with Jwoww’s “Jersey” deal — locking down $17,500 per episode plus a $75k bonus “dependant on ratings at the end of the season.”
…
Now, he wants $350,000 to make things right.
It’s not that I’m surprised that Jwoww had a shady “manager” negotiating her deals for her and that she just so happened to be romantically involved with him, but I’m disappointed. The girl arguably worked hard for that money, and it’s going to get taken away from her because some sleezeball without a contract can claim that they had an agreement within their romantic relationship? That’s really sad for her. She should have protected herself and her money better and just hired a real manager who would take the 10% but get the job done right.
“Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me, I knew I had to end it. I really didn’t want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up. … When you’re unhappy in your marriage, your children are the ones who suffer.”
I’m also sure that it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she, one morning, woke up in a sweaty, feverish, and sober realization that she married the offspring of Steven Spielberg and a reject Muppet, just without all of the money and a lot more wiry fuzz.
And when these gals start talking mayonnaise with Conan, it makes me think of bacon and mayonnaise sandwiches (which are gross, but I know people who eat them anyway), and then I get to thinking about the Three Little Pigs again. Amazing how the craziest things can be linked, guys, you know?
Well i think Taylor is a slut wearing those type of clothing and i wont be surpised if she goes out and she gets raped, why the hell is she wearing those clothing? thinking she looks cool, hot?? fuck no she looks like a hooker wanting...
She. Is. Marvelous. Seriously marvelous. And super gorgeous. I am not generally a fan of short hair, on guys or girls (late ’90s men’s fashion was a nightmare for me, and I was only in middle school), but she looks so...
