healingmirthJames Franco has an art show. I'm think he played James Dean sometime around when I was in high school? Was he that best-friend/villain guy in Spiderman? I feel like I'm forgetting something major about his acting career. Apparently he also does other things.
Actor-artist-writer James Franco has a solo art show! It opens June 23 at the Clocktower Gallery in New York. What will be in it? A "work explor[ing] a romantic encounter between "Star Trek" characters Spock and James T. Kirk."
I really don't like Miley Cyrus. I like her new song, so long as I don't listen to about half of the lyrics, and if I imagine it's being sung by someone more like a female version of Adam Lambert, rather than a teenage girl. I like many of her songs, actually, because I like pop music in general. Again, that's as long as I don't have to be reminded that she's singing them. I don't have the links to hand to back this up, but I read that she said in an interview about "Party in the USA" that she'd never listened to a Jay-Z song, despite the namecheck in the lyrics. A week or two ago she said something disparaging and sort of ignorant about Broadway.
I don't even know what to wish on her, or wish for her. I find it really hard to believe that she's going to grow up to be someone who could live a non-celebrity life, but it's not like she'll ever have to. She just seems so unprofessional - which is fine, for an actual child, but she's claiming to be an adult now, even if she's still playing dress-up. She's a lightning rod for all of the irritation that I feel for the Disney star-making machine, and much of the irritation I have about the state of the average US teenager in general. And I used to feel bad about that, but I think I'm over it.
However, sometimes, people do awesome things for other people. For instance Pete Docter, of Pixar, wrote back to a fan
