It’s time to follow James Franco on Twitter and ‘like’ him on Facebook.  The host for the Oscars on Sunday decided it was time to join the social networking world and he wanted to be sure that we all know it’s really, really him.

His first tweet yesterday was:

“Hi everybody, here I am on Twitter! This is my FIRST tweet…”

He attached a video of himself, authenticating his realness and you can watch it here.

Later, he Tweeted,

“wow, thanks to everyone following me. I’m on my way to a meeting with one of my favorite artists, Richard Prince.”

I guess that he was surprised by the fact that only five hours into his life on Twitter, he had over 50,000 followers.  His account is going to be loaded with millions very, very soon.

I love this guy and I am so glad he finally got on board.

So on another note, the Oscars note, James got a little advice from Judd Apatow for hosting the big event.  If you have seen this video, you have to check it out now:

My pretend boyfriend Russell Brand premiered Get Him To The Greek with his fiancee Katy Perry last night in Los Angeles along with his costar Jonah Hill.

And don’t worry, Russell has vowed to be faithful to his new bride Katy according to Britain’s Sun Newspaper:

“Yes, you have to be (faithful). That’s one of the things about this institution of marriage. My wife recently explained to me, ‘You must be faithful’ and I don’t have a problem with that. I’m really, really in love.

“There is certainly a compromise. You just can’t maraud through life f**king whoever you’d like – which is a shame, because I wish I actually could do that. That’s the compromise.”

Mila Kunis was on hand at the Writers Guild Awards last night in Los Angeles where Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker and Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air won Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay respectively.

The buzz is that Kathryn is a favourite for Best Director at the Oscars.  If she does she will make Oscar history for being the first woman to ever win. Sofia Coppola was the first woman ever nominated in 2003 for Lost in Translation.

Also in attendance last night:

• James Cameron
• Cheryl Hines
• Morgan Freeman
• John Corbett
• Larry David
• Judd Apatow
• Lesie Mann

Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow were honoured last night in Beverly Hills by the Fulfillment Fund whose goal is to empower youth through education:

Together, Leslie and Judd have demonstrated a commitment to philanthropy through their support of organizations for the homeless and 826 LA, a writing and tutoring center for disadvantaged youth

Leslie and Judd are such a cute couple, and despite the fact that he’s a very successful writer, producer and director and he and Leslie have been together for 12 years, he is still kind of amazed he landed such a hot girl.  That’s very adorable!  He credits Gary Shandling with teaching him how to write.

Joey McIntyre, Amy Smart, Giovanni Ribisi, and Gary Shandling also attended.

It seems controversy keeps following Katherine Heigl and her comments about projects she’s involved with.  The latest being Seth Rogan and Judd Apatow who don’t appreciate her comments about their film ‘Knocked Up’where she says the film painted women as shrews” while making the men look “lovable” (newsflash Katherine, it made the men look frat like).  Seth:

“That film looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way!”   “I’ve got to say it’s not like we’re the only people she said some bad s**t crazy things about. That’s kind of her bag now.”

The movie’s director, Judd Apatow chimes in and talks about her latest film ‘The Ugly Truth’:

“I hear there’s a scene where she’s wearing underwear with a vibrator in it, so I’d have to see if that was uplifting for women.”

Judd is still hurt and confused by her comments (see guys can be sensitive):

“You think at some point I’ll get a call saying, ‘Sorry, I was tired,’ and then the call never comes.” “Seth always says, it doesn’t make any sense because she improvised half her s**t. At the time, on set, she could not have been cooler.”

Do you think this is a case of her not realizing how lucky she’s got it, or are these guys making a mountain out of a molehill?
