Hmm? Do ya? Do ya?

Wait, real quick. Before you answer. I have to tell you something.

It's James Franco! Illustrious masturbator, fiction writer, and soap opera star James Franco!

I definitely thought it was vampire spokeswoman Nan Flanagan from True Blood. I mean, they are twins.

I'm not sure what's worse. Being the woman James Franco looks like when he's dressed in drag or being James Franco and looking this much like a woman when dressed in drag.

Or being you. And thinking she's totally hot.

James Franco talked to The Hollywood Reporter about his upcoming film 127 Hours. In it, he plays a mountain climber who gets trapped beneath a boulder.

Franco was indirectly asked whether he would have spent that time, ahem, pleasuring himself:

…So, when I?m alone, I do masturbate a lot. I don?t know why. It?s like you have those days where it?s just like, I have a ton of writing to do, or a ton of reading to do, and you?re just like, OK, I?m going to be on the couch all day or in bed all day just doing that? I tend to have a four- or five-time day. [breaks out laughing] So, I probably would have if I was stuck under a rock.

I heard there's a scene in 127 Hours where James Franco sees a hallucination of Keanu Reeves' character from Point Break and he yells, "You gonna amputate your arm or jerk off?" To which Franco replies, "Jerk off."

That should be in the preview.

This video is the first of a five part series from Esquire.com where the giddy Franco brothers flirt with each other on camera.

They must have made a bet before filming to see who could hold their famous Franco grin for longer because watching this for 3 minutes made my cheeks hurt.

And I wasn't even smiling.

In fact, I had a look of concern on my face. Because I'm worried about how Dave and James' love-child will hear and see after he's born with just a mouth for a head.

Vulture cut together a clip of James Franco's return to General Hospital so we wouldn't have to actually watch the soap to see him in action.

Frankly, Im just left confused. Is this an SNL skit? Is it a deleted scene from Pineapple Express where Franco's character gets high and then pretends to be on a soap opera. Is Casey Affleck doing a documentary on James Franco that is either fake or real but no one really knows? What is happening here?!

Only James Franco knows what the fuck James Franco is doing. So I'm going to recap the scene using quotes from the fictional piece he wrote for Esquire.

Franco sits in the dark of an alley. "The building is beige, but the shadows make it shadow-color." He's wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the air plays on his forehead "like a cold whisper".

He pets a toy monkey and we imagine that beneath his bum outfit "he looks like a fat something-awful: hockey-player-pumpkin-cartoon-shithead".

But when he shows up outside an apartment building and finally pushes his hood back we see that it is not a "pumpkin-cartoon-shithead" but, in fact, James Franco with a look "like a blubbery peekaboo face".

Then he smiles that creepy-ass James Franco smile that hasn't left his face since the Spider-Man 2 and the scene fades out, "so much messier and more random" than anyone could ever expect.

I will forgive hot actors for a lot of things because I am blinded by my unrequited love. Like, don't get me started on the merits of Paul Walker's talent because I've had hour long debates over him. No one could have delivered Brian O'Conner's lines with such passion, "Mia, I'm a cop."

I mean, what he did with those four simple words! Just imagine if he was given a more challenging role. P Dubs really is a gem of our generation.

Anyway! Speaking of word wizardry, actor and budding author James Franco wrote a fictional piece for Esquire and it is the most fantastic compilation of crap I have ever laid eyes on.

Despite Franco's brooding eyes and pouty lips, I'm going to have a hard time justifying this. The story is called "Just Before The Black" and I strongly advise you to drop whatever you're doing and read it right now.

I'll just share a few quotes to whet your appetite.

"Joe and I sit and stare at the wall of the building. The building is beige, but the shadows make it shadow-color."

"I guess they didn't have toilets. Just stuck their asses out and shat in the moat. But someone had to wash out the hole."

"Joe just looks at me with that stupid look, covered in flowing blood, going onto his shirt like ketchup randomness, so much messier and more random than I could ever plan."

For the complete ketchup randomness, click here. You'll feel a lot better about your chances of getting published after you do.

And while you read, I'm going to paint my walls shadow-color. It's a shadowy beige, if you must know.
