James Franco Was Scrubbed From Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue Cover
Hollywood Reporter ^ | January 25, 2018 | Chris Gardner

Posted on 01/26/2018 8:12:23 AM PST by C19fan

Vanity Fair debuted its anticipated Hollywood Portfolio today, and on the magazine's website the headline read, in part, "12 Extraordinary Stars, One Momentous Year." There was meant to be another star on the coveted cover spread, but he did not make the final cut due to the momentous year's most powerful movement, the Hollywood Reporter has learned.

According to multiple sources familiar with the shoot, James Franco sat for a photo shoot and interview and was to be featured in the magazine's Annie Leibovitz-shot portfolio. He was removed from the cover digitally, however, due to allegations of sexual misconduct that surfaced in the wake of his Golden Globe win for The Disaster Artist. Subjects for the Vanity Fair cover are often photographed separately in small groups and combined via digital imaging — Franco's removal, then, did not require a reshoot. That said, it's highly unusual for a star to be removed from an elaborate photo layout, especially so close to publication.

Actually, the fundamentalists sound an awful lot like..... Muslims. Women as slaves for reproduction? That’s Islam.

In a dystopian near-future, Fundamentalist Christians have taken over the US and turned it into a feminist nightmare. Women are stripped of all rights and privileges and are only made to reproduce and serve as slaves.

IOW, the US has been turned into Saudi Arabia.

Even Penn Jillette says, without blinking - you do NOT talk about Islam. They will kill you.

Here he is defending Sarah Silverman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5thChfm8vLs

I’m just gonna paste that. I don’t care if anyone goes to that link. Sarah Silverman doesn’t deserve defense, and Penn can be a total jerkwad.

But the point is clear : Islam is winning and we need to do something about it.

"Also, Oprah is holding a woman by the waist. WTF ?"

That was her standard pose while she handed off the young girls to Harvey Weinstein.

It must be a slow news day as this is what is trending on Bing’s homepage news. All I saw was two legs with the fold of the dress showing through...not a third leg. Maybe I need to smoke some dope in order to be able to see it.

No one actually gives a flip.

What an a hole. He was going to sweep the best actors. He lost it all just to get blow jobs from young acting students at his school?

I wish I didn’t want to see his movie but I’ve seen The Room and heard so much about Tommy I kind of feel I have to.

Is he any relation to Francisco Franco? I felt really safe in Spain when he was in charge.

I guess he is a disaster artist.


My nominee for Post of the thread. As long as it can be proven that Nick caraway hasn’t traded fame for bj’s around here. If so, strip him of his nomination.

Yes, watch The Room, but only with the Rifftrax (www.rifftrax.com) mp3 file audio comments. I cannot recommend it without Rifftrax.

I’ve seen the room with live in the room commentary from someone in the know and it was a riot. I don’t feel I need to ever watch the Room again... But I would like to see the portrayal in the Disaster Artist.
