James Franco Has No Gag Reflex

CelebritiesDirt Bag

So James Franco deep-throats a pistol in J.K. Rowling’s newest novel, James Franco and The Cavernous Sexual Ambiguity the upcoming Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers. Details interviews Franco this month, and its reporter recalls another instance of a Franco onscreen blowjob in his NYU student film The Broken Tower.

In the first of several three-ways, Franco performs some very impressive deep throat on two of his character’s pistols after the girls turn the tables on him and shove them in his mouth.
“Most people can’t get past that gag reflex at the back of the throat,” I say.
“Guess I’m a natural,” he says with a laugh. “It was my first time.”
“So that wasn’t you in The Broken Tower?”
“Oh shit, you’re right!” Franco’s eyes light up. “It wasn’t my first time.”
“You’re known for going the extra mile, but that was, what, a good eight inches?”
He gives me a get-real look. “That was a dildo.” Then he turns that look back on himself, and I see the real James Franco: “If I’d had the guts, it woulda been real.”

What a Renaissance man. [Details via D-Listed; image via the Details behind-the-scenes video]

So what else has Franco been up to lately? Falling asleep on the set of Oz, according to Mila Kunis. [Contact Music]


Apparently Steve Martin and his wife Anne Stringfield had a kid back in December but kept it on the DL, just as they did their nuptials in 2007 (they had a party and told the guests they they got hitched). A source says: “They’ve had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows. Steve’s very private. They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby.” It’s the first child for Martin, 67, and now part of a trend being deemed Hollywood’s “A-List older dads club,” which also includes Alec Baldwin. Wait, but Martin’s life was chronicled in the gritty documentaries Father Of The Bride AND Cheaper By the Dozen AND Parenthood, so he actually has like 67 kids, right? [Radar Online]


Kelly Rowland celebrated her birthday by lunching with Beyoncé, Solange and Jay-Z in Venice Beach, which sounds fine, right? But when Rowland took to the streets of L.A. after lunch, she started sobbing. 😐 Citing Bey’s success as the reason for Rowland’s tears seems too easy of a joke. Maybe she was just emotional? Birthdays are emotional! [Daily Mail]


The occupants of the New York building Amanda Bynes just moved out of under threat of eviction describe their former neighbor like a vaguely more sinister Cosmo Kramer.

“Her door was left open all the time,” said one who added, “And we saw that she put red [lightbulbs] in every outlet.” The former Nickelodeon star was seen coming down to the lobby “at 2 a.m. one morning, laughing hysterically for four minutes” and then “went back to her apartment.”
