VIDEO: James Franco Blames Lackluster Oscars on Anne Hathaway
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Prime Time, Talk Shows, CBS, Gossip, Video,
Speculation has run the gamut on James Franco’s uninspired Oscar performance. Some have claimed drugs were behind his sleepy delivery, while others have accused the co-host of simply not caring.
“People said I was under the influence,” Franco said on the Late Show with David Letterman. “I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to [her].”
Fair point. “I never dreamed of being the best Oscar host ever… It doesn’t mean I didn’t care and it doesn’t mean I didn’t try hard, right?” James Franco asked.
Though some have accused the Academy Award nominee of exactly that. Watch Franco’s interview in the video above, and tell us if he’s managed to win you over yet.

At the Oscars: The 83rd Annual Academy Awards
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Specials, ABC, Gossip,
The 83rd Academy Awards opened with a montage of the handful of movies they’ve decided to honor this year. As usual, all nominations came from a select, certain group of movies in the long list that came out during 2010. If you didn’t see The Social Network, The King’s Speech, The Fighter, Black Swan or True Grit, the Oscars wanted you to feel like they’re absolutely can’t-miss films.
But, the award show did offer more than the usual back-patting the actors give themselves once a year.
“Oh my gosh, you’re all real…this is all happening,” Anne Hathaway grinned from the stage as the smoke cleared. Her diamond-covered white gown was a perfect choice for the opening monologue, which was peppered with jokes about James Franco’s nomination and Hathaway’s lack of one (“it used to be, you get naked, you get nominated…not any more”).

Oscar Hosts Not Using Ricky Gervais as a Model
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Specials, ABC, Gossip, Video,
“I can guarantee that if you’re looking for someone to call people out, we’re not your hosts,” Anne Hathaway recently told The Hollywood Reporter.
Her comment is a reference to the Golden Globes as hosted by Ricky Gervais. The British comedian won a lot of laughs, and raised plenty of eyebrows, with his none-too-subtle barbs aimed at those in the filmmaking industry.
“I think that humor is really difficult to pull off, and I’m not particularly adept at it. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it,” Hathaway continued. She’ll be co-hosting the Academy Awards this year with actor James Franco. In the video above, the pair explain how they happened to be paired up as hosts for the event.

James Franco Shakes up the Actors Studio
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talk Shows, Bravo, Cable, Gossip,
Bravo’s interview series Inside the Actors Studio recently had to turn people away during the James Franco appearance.

Female screams also peppered Franco’s interview.
According to a report, host James Lipton at one point stopped to say “17 years filming this show, and I’ve never heard a sound like that before.”
