"I Hated Spider-Man 2, James Franco." (Hoodie Allen)



By now, most everyone should know... the timespan between 2010-11 was without a doubt rather prosperous for one Mr. James Franco. In some circles, he's been affectionately titled, "Tinseltown's Favourite Weirdo" - For his diversified movie role selections and various side-projects. A few of "Teddy"'s recent block-busters include: Pineapple Express, Milk, Howl, Your Highness, Date Night ["Taste Tripplehorn"], and 127 Hours. IMDb then lists Franco's Upcoming Projects (2011-13) as: The Broken Tower, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Rebel, Maladies, Sal [Mineo], The Stare, Cherry, Oz: The Great and Powerful... The Iceman, and [Linda] Lovelace?


James Franco decided to go back to UCLA during the 2006-08 semesters... nearly 10 years after dropping out after his freshman year. Talking some 62 19 course credits/quarter, Franco graduated with an English degree/3.5 GPA and enrolled in 4 separate grad. schools. Really carving out a unique path of his own... Franco is quickly becoming a Pop Culture Icon, while staying true to himself and keeping people guessing. Additional endeavors have included: Palo Alto: Stories (novel), Kalup & Franco - performance art project, "Three's Company: The Drama," and co-hosting Oscars #83 with Anne Hathaway. As well as an upcoming Broadway-adapted version of Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird of Youth," 44 episodes of General Hospital (spanning 2009-11), and a rumored nude coffee table book [Terry Richardson] with Lindsay Lohan.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
