He's the king of the selfies!

And now even David Letterman wants to know about James Franco's fascination with selfies! When the Palo Alto actor appeared on last night's Late Show with David Letterman, the hilarious host took the opportunity to confront the actor about his penchant for posting racy selifes and the constant controversy surrounding his Instagram account.

"To me it's just a fun thing. It's something I don't put a ton of thought into but it gets a lot of attention. It gets a lot of attention. I have a ton of followers on Instagram."

In the sit down, the 36-year-old even likened his recent hand-down-the-tighty-whities shot to the Britney Spears' infamous head-shaving meltdown.

Franco explained, "Like that Britney Spears shaved head moment, where it's sort of like, 'All right, you want me? Here you can have me, but I am going to be really ugly.' You know what I mean?"

And while he has gotten a lot of flack for some of his pics, the sexy actor cautioned Dave and any other critics, by saying, "If you don't want to see it … don't follow me on Instagram!"

Check out some of Franco's many selfie moments -- and keep in mind: these are only from the past three weeks!

Wowzer! No wonder he's looking to buy Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's $50 mega-mansion!

Yesterday the Financial Times reported that Apple is closing a $3.2 billion deal to purchase Beats Electronics, and though representatives for both companies have yet to comment on the matter, Dre seemingly confirmed the news last night while out with Tyrese Gibson.

Dre, who founded Beats in 2008 with Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, says in a video posted on Tyrese's Facebook, "The first billionaire in hip hop right here from the motherf*ckin' West Coast." Hey, if that's not an official statement, we don't know what is!

"Billionaire boys club for real homie," Gibson added. "The Forbes list just changed. It came out like two weeks ago. They need to update the Forbes list!" The video has since been removed, but we can't imagine the boys would have been out celebrating last night unless they had a good reason to be ... Congrats!

 

Rob Pattinson Hooking Up With Model Imogen Kerr

We were wondering who this was!

Robert Pattinson stepped out with a grungy blonde gal last weekend at Little Door, and she's been identified as Los Angeles-based model Imogen Kerr. According to Us Weekly, mutual pal Dakota Fanning reportedly introduced Kerr and Pattinson, and get this -- the 22-year-old model is friends with Kristen Stewart!

And this isn't the firs time they've hung out! Last month the Twilight star and his lady friend hung out at Good Times at Davey Wayne's, and a source tells the mag, "He was leading her out ... it was romantic."

Hmm, any chance this is just a friendly hang out? She doesn't really seem like his type...

Zoe Saldana and Emmy Rossum know how to pose with the best of them. The two actresses dazzled at the Whitney Museum of American Art: Art Party on Thursday in New York City.

Zoe, 35, donned a strapless blood-red dress that hit right past her knees and paired the look with strappy black heels that accentuated her slender ankles. The Avatar star wore her hair in loose waves and also oped for a smoky eye. Oh la la!

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Emmy went for an all-black ensemble with hints of sequins. The Shameles star went for an edgy look with a short-sleeved blouse and high-waisted ankle-length pants. The Phantom of the Opera actress also wore her hair tousled and had a dark eye. Oh so dramatic!

The Whitney Museum of American Art: Art Party was sponsored by Max Mara.

 

Video Of Reese Witherspoon Telling Cara DeLevigne "I Don't Know What The F*ck Your Name Is" Back Online

Posted on Fri May 9th, 2014 10:10am PDT       By X17 Staff



Thank you to whoever uncovered this hilarious video, because it's just as good (if not better!) than Reese Witherspoon's drunken arrest video from 2013!

After working it on the red carpet at the Met Gala, Reese headed to an after party where she seemingly had a few celebratory cocktails. The Oscar winner hopped in an elevator with Zooey Deschanel, Kate Upton and Cara DeLevigne, the latter of whom posted the hilarious video above and wrote, "'The confusion @reesewitherspoon @zooeydeschanel @tennesseebunny @kateupton #HAHAHAHA #loveyouladies."

Cara later took the video down, but several media outlets had already copied the clip, in which Reese slurs her words, drops a few f-bombs and fails to pronounce DeLevigne's last name. So what all went down?

    Reese: If you force me to say your last name, I'll be f*cked.

    Cara: I love it. I love it when you do it. Say it.

    Reese: De-le-vig-ne. Kara? Cara? De la --

    Zooey: Delevigne! De la la la.

    Kate: We don't know!

    Reese: I love you Kara, Cara.

    Cara: I love you.

    Reese: I don't know what your f***ing name is. That's super French.

    Someone: Get me out of this place! Where are we!?

    Reese: You know what's the most important thing in a name for a girl? Is that a man can whisper it into his pillow.


OMG! Not only are we dying with laughter, but we want to have a girls' night out with this group! We're just wondering if Reese's reps were the ones who contacted Cara and asked to her take the video down, but after her arrest footage from last year, this isn't really that bad, right?

As you may remember, after hubby Jim Toth was arrested for DUI in April of 2013, a very intoxicated Reese told a police officer she was "allowed to stand on American ground" because she was a U.S. citizen, and she even pulled the "Do you know my name?" line too. "You’re about to find out who I am," Reese sputtered to the cop. "You’re going to be on national news." She also said she was pregnant, though clearly we know that wasn't the case.

 

Justin Bieber Snuggles Up To 15-Year-Old Madison Beer

13-year-old Willow Smith already beat him to the punch when it came to inappropriate photos of minors and twentysomethings, but 20-year-old Justin Bieber is just friends with his 15-year-old protege Madison Beer, right? Even though they're totally snuggling up to one another in the selfie above?

When we've chatted with Miss Beer in the past, she's excitedly told us how much she loves Bieber's music and how thrilled she is to be working on a duet with him, but we can't believe she doesn't have crush on the saggy pant-loving pop superstar!

But seeing as Bieber has posted photos of himself with several different ladies over the past week, maybe he's just doing this to toy with us? After posing with Kylie Jenner and model Yovanna Ventura in Las Vegas last weekend, several sites speculated that he had struck up a romance with one (or both!) of the girls, but a few days later he posted a photo of himself with Floyd Mayweather's 13-year-old daughter Iyanna and wrote, "I guess everyone I get photo'd with is automatically my girlfriend. This is my only gf @moneyyaya :p .. Had fun at the fight lil one see u soon.!"

Ha! But if he's not hooking up with any of those ladies, what's going on in his love life? Is he sexting on-again/off-again flame Selena Gomez? We must know!

Now those are some pants, ladies!

Both Kate Hudson and Fergie donned some statement-making pants for a swanky soiree for the Chrome Hearts luxury brand at Sun Lounge in Beverly Hills.

The 35-year-old Kate, who was seen carrying presents to the bash, arrived bash bearing gifts and looking fab in flowing pink-and-black polka-dot pants and a white lace top.

Wearing equally eye-catching pants, new mom Fergie, 39, stepped out in metallic pants, layered black tops and one hell of a fringe purse. Always the rock 'n' roller!

Brooke Burke-Charvet, Samantha Ronson, Rachel Zoe, Shenae Grimes, her husband Josh Beech, Steven Tyler, stylists B. Akerlund and Arianne Philips also partied down at the celeb-studded bash.

 

Mila Kunis Tells Ellen DeGeneres She Craves Sauerkraut, Will Give Birth Naturally

Posted on Fri May 9th, 2014 8:35am PDT       By X17 Staff




Mila Kunis appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show's Mother's Day episode today, and the mom-to-be chats about everything from her pregnancy cravings to how she kept her engagement to Ashton Kutcher a secret.

Mila wouldn't reveal the gender of her child or the due date, but she said the couple have picked out a name and she's going to do a natural birth with NO epidural! As far as foods she's craving, Mila said, "I eat sauerkraut all day long. Here’s the truth. This is the worst craving to have because sauerkraut smells and so every time you open up a jar it just reeks in the whole kitchen."

So is Ashton being a doting partner and helping her out every time she has a hankering for pickles or cabbage? Mila says:

    Okay, well I’ll tell you a funny story…yes. But he kind of preempted this. He assumed that I was gonna have goofy cravings, so he stocked our secondary fridge with weird food. Just like pickles, and sauerkraut, or like anchovies, and ice creams…just incase at one point during this pregnancy I’d be like I really want something. And it happened last week, I was like oh my God, I need a pickle. Like it was just the weirdest thing. Like I needed this pickle and he was like hold on a second and disappeared in the backyard and came back with the most amazing dill pickle of all time. So…


That wasn't the funniest story we've ever heard, but it sounds like Ashton is treating her like a queen, so that's good! So how were they able to hide all of this from the press? "We were able to keep this private for two months," she said. "Two months without anybody knowing. I think and I’ll tell you, I think everybody assumed we’ve been engaged for so long that I was wearing the ring in public for two months and no photograph was ever…like nobody ever commented on a single photograph. Like it was just not, they just decided not to acknowledge it for two months. It was amazing."
