Even more surprising than his appearance in Interstellar.

Some think that it is a conspiracy paid by the church of Scientology because he is vocal about leaving.

Scientology is the ultimate gamechanger with these allegations. We’ve seen them cover for Masterson so there should be no doubt that they’d be willing to orchestrate false accusations against their many vocal critics.

Donovan McNabb gets sacked.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...bb-eric-davis/

ESPN has severed ties with Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis after a month-long investigation into sexual harassment allegations at the NFL Network, an ESPN spokesman confirmed to PFT.

Zero chance he gets into the Hall of Fame now.

Hmmm... Wonder if this might derail his Oscar chances? (Though, he's probably already a real long shot to beat out Gary Oldman).

James Franco’s Past Scrutinized on Twitter After Golden Globes Win

Like many of his peers, Golden Globes Best Actor winner James Franco turned up to the ceremony Sunday night wearing a Times Up pin in support of the night’s anti-sexual misconduct message. Actress Ally Sheedy, however, found the actor’s mere presence at the event, much less his win, upsetting enough to comment on.

“James Franco just won. Please never ask me why I left the film/TV business,” the Breakfast Club actress lamented in a series of since-deleted tweets, a screenshot of which you can read below.

i wonder if there will be a "Rooney rule" for best director. For those who dont know, in the NFL, the Rooney rule is that when you hire a coach, you must interview a minority before making your decision.

i mean its just ridiculous now in this world.

Same. Unless she had no choice but to sign the contract, I see no issue (as the comment is written). Did he try to change the role to have nudity after she signed? Cause if you know what you're signing up for and choose to do it, it's not exploitative.

Also - I wouldn't be surprised if there are tons of people who come out about Franco, as there have been many rumors. But this specific girl seems to just be trying to cash in.

Yep. No one is forcing her to take those jobs. Find something different...turn those down and work at something else to sustain yourself while looking for better gigs...realize that maybe you won't be a Hollywood star and consider other paths. MANY other choices other than accepting a gig that makes you feel exploited.

That being said, if anyone wants to pay be $100 a day to stand around naked, where to I sign up??

And as I mentioned in another thread, celebrated Kirk Douglas, who is rumored to have beaten and raped Natalie Wood.
