• GQ: "James Franco Is A Douche"

  This story was written by Sean Flanagan, who is guest blogging while Verena is at the Democratic National Convention... Everyone loves James Franco, sorta. Pineapple Express was hilarious. Franco was exciting and endearing-- and in a good movie. But, it turns out, if you haven't seen any of his films since 2001's James Dean, you probably wouldn't know that everyone in Hollywood thinks he's a douche. GQ, as you will see, does nothing to shatter that image; in fact, they get right down to it in the opening lines... Read More...

We exchanged a few emails (her parents sometimes accidentally send us emails, and her mom and our stepmom are both Patricia Farris so it's all very confusing) and decided to meet for drinks when she's in New York. Then we had an idea to write a story about it. Then we learned this morning that the New York Times stole our idea. [New York Times].  Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn called off their divorce.
