‘Jackass’ star also competing with Natalie Portman, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page, and James Franco for Best Jaw Dropping Moment. By Kara Warner Steve-O Photo: Matt Elias/ MTV News One of the many ways the MTV Movie Awards distinguishes itself from all the other awards shows out there is the unique categories for which performances by actors, actresses and assorted moments in film are nominated and awarded. The is a perfect example. This year’s nominees run the gamut from cringe-worthy and painful moments to larger-than-life concert experiences, amazing special effects and being covered in poo. The nominees are: Natalie Portman for her hangnail moment in “Black Swan,” Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page for the dream-within-a-dream “caf
It’s 4/20, baby. You know what that means, right? THG does. Well, sort of. The origins of 420 are hotly debated, but no matter where the term came from, people associate it with smoking massive amounts of weed! As such, the 20th day of April has become a de facto holiday. With that in mind, The Hollywood Gossip salutes 10 famous individuals who have been known to puff the herb from time to time. Some even inhale … Bill Clinton: I Never Inhaled 10. Bill Clinton . As President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton presided over the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history. But boy, was he a terrible liar. The Lewinsky debacle was technically worse (what with perjury charges and all), but “I didn’t inhale” was pretty legendary. 9. Jeff Bridges . He played The Dude! Enough said, really. But to further our argument for his inclusion, we suggest reading these Big Lebowski quotes . Arnold Schwarzenegger Smoking a Joint 8. Arnold Schwarzenegger . Okay, so the only reason he’s on this list is because of the above video. Watch it and you’ll understand why pretty quickly. 7. Cheech & Chong . When your Wikipedia bio you’re best known for routines “based on the hippie and free love era, and especially drug culture movements, most notably their love for cannabis,” you’re pretty much a lock for this list. Zach Galifianakis Smokes Weed on Bill Maher 6. Bill Maher and Zach Galifianakis . The latter truly blazed new trails on late-night TV Friday as he produced and lit a joint on HBO with the former. Seth Rogen & James Franco Smoke Weed at MTV Movie Awards 5. The entire cast of Pineapple Express . Classic weed films abound, but this Judd Apatow vehicle from the modern day stoner crew takes the cake. We could debate for hours on end which alternate films could have been included here, but our brain cells are just too depleted to care at this point. Besides, check out James Franco and Seth Rogen’s classic MTV Movie Awards appearance. That’s some serious dedication to the cause, people! 4. Michael Phelps . After absolutely smoking the competition in the 2008 Summer Olympics, the swimming legend made waves for … well, see above. You could say that Phelps took the most expensive hit ever, considering he lost at least one major sponsorship based on it. See what we did there?! 3. Willie Nelson . On 4/30, Nelson will turn 78, or approximately how many times he lights up per week. Hey, at least he’s up front about it, unlike #10 on our list. Dude co-chairs the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws! 2. Snoop Dogg . Let’s be blunt. If anyone here would roll up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and hook you up with some bubonic chronic right freaking now, it’d be Snoop D-O-Double-G. SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY! (RIP Nate Dogg). Miley Cyrus Bong Video 1. Miley Cyrus . Okay, we realize it’s unfair that the girl who tops our list wasn’t even smoking marijuana, but rather a legal drug known as salvia. Nevertheless, “Miley Cyrus bong video” was the top search term on THG for weeks on end. Eat your Mary Jane-loving hearts out, Snoop and Willie.

I’d like to take this short bit of time out of my day to recognize Kylie Minogue’s breast and the heroic battle it went on, fighing cancer breast tissue to breast tissue, a story of meeting adversity and overcoming all odds, coming out alive, the Survival tit….I’d love to option the movie and give James Franco the role of the nipple, since he’s good at the hero shit after the whole 127 hour shit…. assuming this is her real tit and not a breast cancer survivor implant, in which case I take it all back….but will still post the pics…cuz staring at tit is staring at tit…and that’s good enough for me…
No one in Hollywood has come close to recreating the epic tapestry of power, politics and family (not to mention machine gun murders) onscreen that Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola established with The Godfather . That doesn’t mean they aren’t trying. Just today, director Fernando Meirelles ( The Constant Gardener ) and screenwriter Bráulio Mantovani ( City of God ) announced that they are developing a similarly ambitious project which will center on Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, his sketchy business dealings and his sketchier involvement with the Kennedy family.
Rio might have flown away with number one, but the real stories of the weekend box-office might be a pair of films that didn’t even make the top 10. And if their companies’ reactions are any indication, they are not done yet. But is this really just about the money?
An artist struggles with her latest work, haunted by paranoid visions to the point that she questions her sanity. Is it just us, or does Winona Ryder’s next film, The Stare , sound a little — okay, a lot — like her last film, Black Swan ? Fine. Black Swan didn’t also have James Franco portraying some sort of performer. That doesn’t sound familiar, either.
Now that they’ve finally decided on a title , 20th Century Fox has kicked the marketing machine for Rise of the Planet of the Apes into high gear, first with a whopping four-second look at the apes, then with a more in-depth look at the special effects entailed in bringing a bunch of rampaging monkeys to life. Now, here’s the full trailer, which has a surprisingly tense and low-key feel to it… well, until that ape attacks the helicopter.
What? Rebel is just a bunch of kids on a bicycle and then James Franco on a bicycle and then a weird gunshot sound. And it was clearly shot on an iPhone! Oh Franco, you never let us down. … More » Post from: Crushable Video: Check Out A Preview For James Franco’s Short Film With Harmony Korine Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Crushable Discovery Date : 13/04/2011 21:09 Number of articles : 2
We might be so over James Franco , but like a Kleenex box filled with soulful, squinty-eyed hipsters, there’s another one to pop up and take his place. Yes, brother Dave Franco has just been cast in the 21 Jump Street movie, joining the already-cast undercover narcs Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.
Critics are divided over Danny McBride and James Franco’s epic stoner comedy. By Eric Ditzian Natalie Portman, Danny McBride, James Franco and Zooey Deschanel in “Your Highness” Photo: Frank Connor/ Universal Pictures The critics don’t know quite what to do with “Your Highness.” Some have tagged it a worthy successor to the stoner comedy legacy, one that reaches back to swords-and-sandals epics but is still very much in keeping with contemporary comedic traditions. Far more critics, though, argue that the jokes fall flat, the story is kind of a mess, and the performances — especially considering the presence of two recent Oscar nominees in Natalie Portman and James Franco — are nothing short of puzzling. Will you agree? Read on for a deep dive into some “Your Highness” reviews and decide for yourself. The Story “Danny McBride and Ben Best’s script for ‘Your Highness’ has its moments. The whole affair might be described as an amped-up version of ‘The Odyssey’ for ‘Star Wars’ fanboys and High Times subscribers. The story follows a king’s two very different sons: Fabious (James Franco) is the stereotypical dashing prince with a resplendent mullet and a yen for noble, death-defying quests, while Thadeous (McBride) is a chubby, lazy ne’er-do-well. Saddled with an inferiority complex, the latter prefers smoking the funny stuff and chasing sheep to slaying dragons. But when Fabious’ bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), is kidnapped by the evil, gerbil-toothed wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king orders Thadeous to help his brother retrieve the damsel in distress.” — Stephanie Merry, The Washington Post The Laughs “Not every joke lands in the movie, but that’s okay. It’s the sort of film that is willing to try anything along the way, and it demonstrates both an affection for the genre as well as a deconstructionist’s eye for how to tear it down from the inside. There are so many little touches in the film that appealed to me, from the ‘Ghostbusters’-looking visual effects to the straight-faced epic second unit work to the monsters that are state-of-the-art while also managing to be both ridiculous and profane.” — Drew McWeeny, HitFix The Performances “McBride has written a genuinely funny script, but he can’t help overplaying each crudely adolescent punchline. And as an actor, his instincts are equally broad. It’s as if a chemically altered college kid watched a bunch of Judd Apatow movies, and then decided to remake ‘The Princess Bride.’ The overall effect gets tiresome, but [director David Gordon] Green has wisely instructed McBride’s co-stars to approach the proceedings with complete seriousness. While the majority of the cast handles this task easily (only Deschanel seems lost), Franco truly saves the day. His hilarious deadpan in the midst of utter insanity turns a bawdy goof into a most welcome lark indeed.” — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News The Comparisons “The most painful movie so far in a year that’s already scraping the bottom of the barrel, ‘Your Highness’ is a tedious, dung-colored misfire that sullies the genre of ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ and ‘The Princess Bride.’ Taken in small doses, in movies such as ‘Due Date’ and ‘Tropic Thunder,’ McBride can be hilarious, and he played well with Franco in Green’s ‘Pineapple Express,’ comedy gold next to this. As a lead, he’s unbearable, a charmless lout who thinks being gross is the same thing as being funny. ‘Your Highness’ is thus potty-mouthed, peepee-obsessed, and devoid of such comedy basics as timing or punch lines.” — Ty Burr, Boston Globe The Final Word “In the absurdly bloody hackings and thwackings, director David Gordon Green (who worked with both leads in ‘Pineapple Express’) more or less hits his marks and even works up some suspense — unusual in this sort of broad comedy. At bottom, he and McBride respect the genre even as they travesty it. … ‘Your Highness’ delivers on its title: a royal high.” — David Edelstein, New York Check out everything we’ve got on “Your Highness.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
