Mila Kunis Hits Vegas with James Franco
Originally posted 04/26/2012 06:00AM
Following her weekend getaway with Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis has a brief stopover in Las Vegas Tuesday to promote her upcoming film Oz the Great and Powerful at the CinemaCon Festival.
Joined at the festival by costar James Franco, Kunis "looked cute," according to an onlooker, who noted her short skirt and heels. (Kutcher was not present in Sin City, however.)
Later that night, Franco was spotted at Tao Asian Bistro, where he grabbed dinner with three female friends. For the meal, they enjoyed some sea bass, lobster wantons and fried rice with Chinese sausage.

PEOPLE Review: Oscars Like Old Times – for Good and Bad
Originally posted 02/27/2012 01:00AM
Considering that last year's Oscars were so thumpingly bad – co-host James Franco behaved as if he'd been taken out of the freezer, left on the counter and unevenly thawed – last night's broadcast was a welcome relief.
The strength of the show ultimately rests on the heat of the biggest contests – I doubt Americans were on the edge of their seats wondering whether the cosmically inscrutable Tree of Life could score an upset over the French silent The Artist – but the production looked great and flowed well.
Billy Crystal was hosting for his ninth time, brought on after Eddie Murphy dropped out in November, and it felt no different from his seventh, eighth or (if one were to project) fifty-seventh time.

James Franco to Publish His First Novel
Originally posted 01/04/2012 05:30AM
Actor, producer, graduate student, Oscars host. He's had plenty of titles. And now James Franco is set to add one more: novelist.
Franco, 33, has sold his first novel, Actors Anonymous, loosely based on his life, to Amazon Publishing, the New York Observer reports.
The book was acquired by Amazon fiction editor Ed Park, a founding editor of The Believer, whose move to Amazon in September caused a buzz in literary circles.
While this is Franco's first novel, it's not his first work of fiction. He released a book of short stories, Palo Alto, back in June, published by Scribner.

How James Franco Faked It with a Chimpanzee

Whether it's getting his doctorate or hosting the Oscars, James Franco is up to the task.
In his new movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the multi-hyphenate, 33, might have pulled off his biggest stunt yet – playing make-believe with a virtual chimpanzee.
"I still don't understand how you guys did that," Jimmy Kimmel said during Franco's Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "I know it's CGI and all that stuff, but it is amazing how those chimpanzees can talk and stuff."
"Yeah," Franco said. "Well, it wasn't real."
