James Franco headed to Target to get some last minute shopping in before the holidays. Franco fought back the crowds to hunt down gifts for the three names remaining on his list: Anne Hathaway, Betty White and Kalup Linzy. But after fifteen minutes battling the crowds he gave up. Instead of buying gifts, Franco will make them from scratch, like he usually does. The extra effort doesn't really bother him, but Franco is upset at himself for cheapening the spirit of Christmas by trying to buy presents in the first place.

After a fallout with the Backstreet Boys that has seen James Franco's short lived boy band career come to an end, Franco has announced he will be releasing an album with transsexual performance artist Kalup Linzy.
To help prepare for the new project Franco has enlisted Vegas legend Tom Jones for both vocal coaching and general sex bombness. He was immediately awarded for the work he was putting in with a Golden Globe nomination.

On last week's airing of Inside the Actors Studio, audiences learned that James Franco once tagged along with a gigolo for a role he was researching and Franco even admitted to watching the gigolo have sex for money, as part of the research. What was left out was Franco's affinity for camping, which is what Franco spent all weekend doing. While he's out in nature, he likes to study the mating habits of wild animals. The actor likes to refer to these notes when he feels he needs to channel the raw animalistic nature of a particular character he is playing.

James Franco recently recorded a video in which the actor charms himself using a mirror. The video was meant as a personal exercise, but somehow ended up as part of New York Times project called Fourteen Actors Acting. To draw attention away from the video, he has signed on for more episodes of General Hospital.

It was revealed recently that James Franco was reading Twilight because he was campaigning to be cast in one of the films. Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon threw Franco a bone and offered him the Academy Awards co-hosting gig instead. Franco has now turned his sights on the Chronicles of Narnia movie franchise. He is really hoping to land a role and show off his British accent, and if he gets passed over, Franco has his fingers crossed that some other opportunity will be offered instead, like maybe Prince William's best man.

In an effort to come off of the high of being officially announced a co-host of the Oscars, James Franco spent all weekend learning the intricacies of jewelry making. He got the idea from his cousin Jan, who told him that she found something very relaxing about the process of stringing beads and crystals together. In true Franco fashion, the actor threw himself into the process and spent the rest of the weekend building an extensive inventory of jewelry. He was so excited by his collection he threw a jewelry party at Jan's house and invited all of her friends to come and check out his wares. Ever the multi-tasker, Franco also used this opportunity to talk up his new collection of short stories, Palo Alto. All proceeds from the jewelry party were donated to a local charity.

On the heels of the recent announcement of James Franco's Best Actor nomination for his work in 127 Hours from the 2010 Film Independent Spirit Awards, producers of the award show are hoping the actor will come around to their idea of co-hosting the awards, a la the Oscars, this time with host Joel McHale. Franco is considering the offer, though he is making demands that McHale is banned from making fun of him on The Soup, he'd like a guest role on Community and also Cougar Town. Cougar Town isn't related to McHale, he just thoroughly enjoys the show.

James Franco is sleeping in this morning after flying to Edmonton yesterday to take in the CFL's 98th Grey Cup. The actor became a fan of Canadian football after spending ample time in Canada filming the Planet of the Apes prequel. He became particularly fond of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who would end up losing to Montreal, because of their intensely loyal fan base. Franco will spend most of today trying to get the green paint off, as the combination of oil based paint and frigid temperatures has wreaked havoc on his skin.

James Franco made a cameo in a big budget Bollywood film today. The actor has always been a fan of Indian films and was finally able to break into that market with the help of Danny Boyle, and the connections he made while filming Slumdog Millionaire. Though the cameo has gone pretty much unnoticed in North America, it has a caused quite the stir in Mumbai with Franco ranking alongside Bollywood legends Shahrukh Khan and Shammi Kapoor in popularity. It turns out he is an excellent dancer.

After taking in the Quidditch tournament at Yale last week, Franco has rekindled his interest in the Harry Potter books. He read the entire series in one sitting and is currently reaching out to producers to see if they are willing to give him the part of Lord Voldemort in part two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Franco is aware that Voldermort has been played by Ralph Fiennes in every movie up until now, but feels his interpretation of Voldermort (a cross dressing hipster from the Lower East Side) is just what the series needs to finish on a high. If his lobbying is unsuccessful, he will settle for voicing Dobby, the house elf.

James Franco doesn't have much leisure time to watch TV, but recently caught a few moments of Hoarders. Franco immediately set out collecting old keytars, Discmans and other outdated electronics as preparation for his audition for the A&E series, not realizing it was a reality show. The James Franco episode of Hoarders will air next year.

James Franco has decided to film a movie based on the board game Sorry! Unlike other big screen adaptations of board games, like Clue and the upcoming Battleship, Franco is not going to build a story around the basic elements of Sorry! Instead, Franco is going to film a family actually playing the game, in what he hopes will be a commentary on the death of the American Dream. Securing financing for the project has been a bit of problem, as no one is sure what exactly Franco is talking about when he tries to explains this project.

James Franco came to the realization today that if he wanted to really be taken seriously as a modern day Renaissance man then he could not rely solely on his artistic output and his studies. In order to be a true Renaissance man Franco will also have to start producing some inventions. His first order of business: to finally hammer out the hoverboard from Back to the Future. Franco believes he can master the technology necessary to make the hoverboard as he's a bit of an expert on the subject, having used the Sky Stick hoverboard in Spiderman 3.

James Franco has been working on his observational humor ahead of the New York Comedy Festival, where he is angling for a spot opening for Aziz Ansari. So far Franco's routine is built around his personal insights into the post-post modern art world and how it intersects with the antiquated assumptions about our reality. It doesn't get many laughs, but he sure can handle hecklers.

James Franco is spending all day designing and creating his own Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade float. He selected the ant as the subject of his masterpiece, since he feels a kinship to one of the hardest working insects. Though he has no actual affiliation with the Macy's parade Franco believes his float will be so awesome the parade organizers will have no choice but to accept it.

Today in a lab in Texas a scientist/filmographer used an advanced zoom lens to blow up one frame of the now infamous 1928 Charlie Chaplin film The Circus that inexplicably features someone talking on their cell phone. The scientist was stunned to find an image that looks exactly like that of James Franco talking on a phone, leading to one, only slightly absurd, conclusion -- James Franco can time travel, which would explain how he gets so much done.
