James Franco Skips Out On His Own Party After Critically-Panned Hosting Gig
Posted on Feb 28, 2011 @ 07:45AM
James Franco reportedly didn't show up for his own post-Oscars party at Los Angeles' Supper Club Sunday, as the dashing star, possibly upset by his performance on the show, tweeted a pic from his private jet while leaving the City of Angels.
"Goodbye L.A.," Franco wrote in one pic from aboard his plane, and in another wrote, "It was fun! Time to jet back to class."
While Franco's bash was attended by stars such as his Pineapple Express co-star Seth Rogen and two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, an insider at the affair summarized it as a "bust ", according to usmagazine.com.

And while Franco's getting knocked some for his job co-hosting with Anne Hathaway, no one can dispute that the 127 Hours Oscar nominee broke new ground when it came to giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at his big night via the social networking giant that is Twitter.
The Spiderman stud linked to a photo of he and Hathaway posed alongside media icon Oprah Winfrey, and another one with longtime host Billy Crystal. In addition, we saw him getting dressed up in drag, and even a self pic from the stage.

Franco also showed a video of Hathaway relaxing him with a hand massage, and he and one of the show's writers discussing how the show was going during the actual event.
While might have been jeered for his performance, Franco’s insightful, behind-the-scenes Tweets gave plugged-in users a unique look at Hollywood’s biggest night through the eyes of one of its’ freshest faces.

I dont like him at all. When he plays himself on General Hospital he is creeping and this picture of him makes him seem even creepier.

He was flat out HORRIBLE. He never made eye contact with the camera, the audience or Hathaway. It was so incredibly bad, I was shocked. Did no one see this coming? What a train wreck! Actually, a train wreck at least forces you to watch...

Sadly, this is what you get when you mistakenly go after the younger demographic for older generation programming. The demographic they were after prefer twitter, internet, smartphone, etc.

Boring. Awards shows are just a chance for stars to bloviate about themselves. Boring, boring, boooooring.

I dont blame him for bailing out...he sucked donkey xxxxx@xxxxx.com Maybe if Hathaway was paired with someone else more charasmatic, maybe like Paul Rudd or Neil Patrick Harris,, it wouldve turned out much better.
