VIDEO: Judd Apatow Offers Oscar Host James Franco Advice About Cunnilingus Jokes

Maybe James Franco is a little more worried about co-hosting this year’s Oscars than he originally led on . In a new video, the actor frantically (well, this is as frantic as anyone has ever seen James Franco) seeks hosting pointers from Pineapple Express scribe — and Producers Guild Awards host — Judd Apatow. Naturally, this advice covers the perennial appropriateness of cunnilingus jokes at black tie events. You’re going to want to see this for yourself.

Michelle Williams Will Watch Brokeback Mountain with Daughter Matilda

Don’t shoot the messenger; this is what qualifies as news in the lazy hours before New Year’s Eve. In an interview with Angeleno magazine, Blue Valentine star Michelle Williams says she plans on one day watching Brokeback Mountain with daughter Matilda. “I was just an actor who happened to be lucky enough to be in the right place, and it was the place where I met Matilda’s father, and that is a lot,” she said, referring to the late Heath Ledger. “It was a lot. And it will be a lot for Matilda too, when she gets around to watching it. I will watch it with her, when she’s ready. It is hard to imagine what that would feel like, but one day, yes, we will watch it together.” Wonder what the Steak Eaters will think of that one. [ PopSugar ]

REVIEW: Love Stinks — and Gosling and Williams Shine — in Blue Valentine

Blue Valentine is such a mannered, affected piece of filmmaking that in its early minutes, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to survive it. A prematurely aged Ryan Gosling, wearing an aggressively receding hairline — the character he’s playing appears to be 27 going on 62 — is roused from an armchair snooze by his young daughter, who informs him, with the kind of solemn urgency that kindergarteners pull off so well, that the family dog has gone missing. Gosling’s Daddy Dean, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, scoops the girl into his arms (her name is Frankie, and she’s played by a grave charmer named Faith Wladyka) and the two head out into the family’s scrubby yard on a search mission.
