James Franco's War on Sleep [Tired Boys]


James Franco is a busy fellow. He's sleeping his way through grad classes and filming more stoner movies. Is he perhaps too busy, too overstretched? Some recent news about the honey-dipped actor would suggest so.

First comes word that Franco, though on a career "hot streak", has been forced to turn down several movie roles. Mostly because he's being loyal to his buddies David Gordon Green and Danny McBride and will go make a stoner movie in Northern Ireland with them this summer. This scheduling has forced him to drop out of big prestige (get it?) picture Inception, a Christopher Nolan-directed film to star Leonardo DiCaprio. His grad classes are also interfering with an offer to costar with Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love. (Though, that actually might be a good thing.)

He's stretched in so many different directions. He's watching the whole Criterion collection, dashing over to LA to give a big-time speech, and making late night house calls to a Columbia student, at her dorm. Well, so says a tipster, anyway:

Well, at approximately 4:00AM this last Saturday night, I saw James Franco get signed into a Columbia residence hall by a girl (whose name escapes me at the moment but could find out rather easily). So here I am wondering what the hell James is doing getting signed in by some college junior girl in her PJs, who if you care to know is not the prettiest of girls by anyone's standards. Doesn't Franco have a girl of his own to go home to? Does she know Franco goes to chill out with college girls in their PJs on a Saturday night?

Phew! So basically something's gotta give. Either he puts school and academic-related speaking engagements and Criterion bids for intellectual cred on the back burner, or he sidelines his acting career. We'd guess that, in the end, flashy movies and money will win out. It'll just take that one project he really wants to do, and then it's goodbye, Mr. Chips.

The modern career boy just can't have it all, sadly.

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left." Deadpan gallows humor: the only possible response to having Courtney Love as a client. (Besides asking for a hefty retainer.) [ P6 ] Before Lauren Conrad's contract expired in March, MTV
