Talk about playing both sides!

James Franco has long been the subject of gay rumors, and the actor decided to address the speculation head on in a new interview with Four Two Nine... well, sort of! The Pineapple Express star played the persona of "Gay James" and "Straight James" throughout the sit-down, so it's hard to tell when he's giving a serious response.

The very first question asked was whether the quirky A-lister was gay or straight, and he gave quite the clever explanation. "Well, I like to think that I'm gay in my art and straight in my life. Although, I'm also gay in my life up to the point of intercourse, and then you could say I'm straight. So I guess it depends on how you define gay. If it means whom you have sex with, I guess I'm straight," his homosexual alter ego responded.

The Milk star then went on to break down how homosexuality and masculinity are both linked and independent of each other. "In the twenties and thirties, they used to define homosexuality by how you acted and not by whom you slept with. Sailors would f*** guys all the time, but as long as they behaved in masculine ways, they weren't considered gay," he added.

Basically what he's saying is that he's a flamboyantly gay straight man!

We dig this new look!

Justin Bieber channeled his inner Johnny Depp in a safari hat and army jacket as he posed with a super fan outside the studio on Tuesday, and the singer clearly wanted to play it cool, because he barely cracked a smile! Or maybe he was just worn out from all the laughing and smiling he did with Madonna on Ellen earlier in the day?

We are all gearing up to have a good chuckle when The Biebs' roast airs on Comedy Central... except maybe Selena Gomez, that is! "Selena can’t help herself. She will most likely watch the roast, she doesn’t really want to but at the same time feels it’s important to know what was said about her, so she’s not caught off guard," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

JB knows the "Come & Get It" songstress is going to take a beating, so he wants to apologize in advance!

"Justin wants to reach out to her before the telecast and apologize for what she might see. But he’s going to wait and see the final cut of the show to see if he needs to reach out at all," the source added.

He's turning over all sorts of new leaves!

What the hell is up with Jessica Simpson these days?

The mother of two looked out of sorts when she did an interview with Extra at the 2015 Teen Vogue Fashion University. The fashionista was supposedly playing dean for a day at the red-carpet event -- but mostly we thought she was acting afool.

From the odd answers to the flailing about, Jessica was acting seriously bizarre at the event. We are almost not surprised to see this -- her behavior has been pretty erratic lately. Last month, Simpson posted some racy, 50 Shades of Grey style Instagram pics -- and raised more than a few eyebrows. We've heard reports of the singer-turned-fashion mogul stumbling out of restaurants.

When the show asked if she was recording music, the blonde gave a heck of a loopy answer, "Right now, I'm starting a record, and I'm getting into a lot of other fun things. I have a recording studio in my house so I can be around my babies as well and they might try and sing over me. They won't be my background vocalists, they'll be like 'ahhh.'"

Uhhh ... What?!

But for reals -- how did her publicist let her do this interview?!

Best Ellen show ever!

Today Justin Bieber joins Madonna for the third day of #MadonnaWeek on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the pop superstars joke about dating one another -- and then play a wild game of Never Have I Ever! Madonna looks at Bieber and says she has no age limit, and she also reveals that she's had sex with more than two people in one day. Talk about TMI! Still, the segment is hilarious, and Bieber also does a separate interview in which he talks about his roast.

On the Comedy Central special, Ellen asked Justin to comment on his message at the end, to which he replied, "I was just talking about it being a new chapter for me and basically saying that I'm sorry for the stuff that I've done. It's not like I'm not searching for people's approval, but I want people to know that that's not me and I was doing stuff that wasn't me. And a lot of times we pretend so we can fit in and we end up looking like the douchebag and that was kind of me."

"I really just didn't I didn't know how to handle it and it went to my head and I had to let people pull me down for me to see the truth and to see how much of a jerk I was being," he added. "And now I just want people to know that this is me, I'm just a genuine person who has fun. And I just wasn't trying to be a jerk." Awww!

But the best part? The Biebs dressing up as a security officer and pranking unsuspecting audience members! We have NO idea how he kept his composure while doing this ... Check that out in the video below!

Um, seeing as he went to a strip club last night, he's got some big balls calling out his ex-girlfriend for posting a photo of herself in a bikini!

After Chris confirmed that he had fathered a 9-month-old daughter with a former fling, Karrueche Tran dumped him and headed to Mexico with her gal pals, including Christina Milian, to forget about her relationship woes. Over the last few days the starlet has posted a number of bikini photos on her Instagram, and Chris has been paying attention -- and commenting on the sexy snaps!

On one in which Karrueche poses on a chair at the pool Chris wrote, "Thirst trap 101. Continue to be a lady beautiful…U are perfect…Don't let the Thot form from anger." In case you didn't know, "THOT" is an acronym for "that ho over there." And as far as Chris calling her thirsty, Karrueche did caption the pic, "I'm president of the Itty Bitty Committee #ThirstyTuesday," so it's really more of a backhanded compliment from him...but still! Will these two EVER quit each other?

We smell a reunion coming as soon as she gets back to the States...

We feel wrong calling Kylie Jenner sexy since she's uh, underage, but seeing as she's dating a 25-year-old rapper and constantly posting photos of herself in risque outfits, it sounds about right!

On Tuesday the 17-year-old reality starlet donned a strappy bikini and coverup for a photo shoot in Hollywood, and after that she slipped into a pair of spandex for what appears to be an athletic wear ad. She was wearing the same strappy bikini as a sports bra, which we find odd, but whatever. Aside from the Kardashian family, we're not sure who works out in clothes like this -- especially outdoors! Talk about bad tan lines...

While Kylie was hustling trying to make a buck, what was her older beau doing? Hitting the strip club with Chris Brown! After performing in Houston last night and partying after their show, Brown and Tyga then hit up the local booby bar V Live and dropped $8,000 on strippers. We're not saying Kylie should be worried, but seeing as $5,000 of that came from Tyga, maybe there's going to be a discussion about it later?

With Scott Disick in rehab, Kourtney Kardashian definitely has her hands full!

The 35-year-old reality starlet ran errands with the couple's three kids on Tuesday afternoon, and even with the help of two nannies, she appeared totally frazzled. Just yesterday the news broke that Scott had checked into a treatment facility in Costa Rica, so clearly that's hitting the family hard -- especially since Kourtney gave birth to their third child just a few months ago!

Kourt and Scott welcomed son Reign on December 14 and things appeared alright earlier this year, but in the months prior to that Scott made it abundantly clear that he felt like he was being forced into fatherhood yet again. Scott has struggled with his alcoholism over the years, and after a wild weekend in Atlantic City, he confirmed that he was seeking treatment at the Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica.

"I realize my issues are bigger than me and I'm ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle," he said in a statement. Scott, 31, will undergo Iboga treatment, which involves using special tree roots to help individuals battle addiction.

No word on how long he'll be there, but we have a feeling Kourtney, Mason, Penelope and baby Reign could be headed his way for a visit. After all, visiting daddy in rehab in Central America is definitely the kind of plotline you'd find on Keeping Up With The Kardashians!

It had been a few weeks since we last saw Ashlee Simpson, and we can't believe how much bigger the pregnant starlet's baby bump has gotten!

On Monday afternoon the 30-year-old singer/actress stopped by Jamba Juice with a pal, and she kept it casual in sneakers, leggings and a black leather jacket. The news broke in December that Ashlee and husband Evan Ross were expecting their first child together, and while Ash hasn't revealed her exact due date, it's reported that it will be sometime in June. The duo tied the knot in August after a nine-month engagement, so they're definitely moving fast!

Evan previously gushed about how eager they were to start a family, so it wasn't that much of a surprise. At the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 in November he told Us Weekly, "I would love to [have kids] ... As many as possible." He's not kidding!
