In case you missed the memo, James Franco is a Very Serious Artist, Academic and All-Around Sophisticated Guy. What a catch! You'd think he would be pretty pleased with being such an evolved, accomplished human being, but you'd be wrong because it's actually super tiring to be so amazing.
Cry us a river, James (from Marie Claire, via DigitalSpy):
"I love the academic world but I also like being silly. When a serious image becomes a part of your life, it [is] draining.

George Michael is a hot, drunk, drug-addicted mess, and while that's partly why we still love him all these years later, it also is not really a good look for anyone wanting to continue a successful career and be a functioning human being. George himself finally realized this was the case and apparently checked himself to an 8-week rehab program at The Sanctuary in Byron Bay, Australia for "emotional anxiety and a drug disorder", according to The Daily Telegraph.
The singer was rumoured to be battling a dependency on Valium since undergoing a tra...
Obviously, I underestimate you - I'm sure EB readers have an eclectic and extensive musical taste - but considering Hunger is a UK-based publication, it wouldn't be surprising if these singers aren't on everyone's maps. They should be, though, as they're all pretty talented (mostly, anyway) and will probably cross over to the US over the next year if they haven't already.
In any case, vocal acrobat and unfortunate B.o.B collaborator Jessie J, Rob Kardashian's former girlfriend Rita Ora, Austra...
Blake Lively made her name on Gossip Girl, but reports have been swirling that she wants nothing more to do with the show and even turned down the offer to appear in the upcoming film adaptation. Turns out, that's a load of bullshit because she didn't even know a Gossip Girl movie was happening. Take that, dummies!
From GossipCop:
“Blake Lively Reportedly ‘Desperate’ To Avoid Gossip Girl Movie — Her Costars Are Not Happy!” scream a headline from RadarOnline, which picked up a story from its sister outlet Star.

Sharon Osbourne is one classy broad, and classy broads should always put the world to rights. For this reason, she'll be testifying at the wrongful death trial surrounding the late Michael Jackson's death and speaking out in support of MJ's mother Katherine Jackson, who wants more than $40 billion in damages from AEG Live.
From Radar Online:
The revelation comes only days after Ozzy’s wife revealed on her CBS show, The Talk, that AEG executives had told her that the King of Pop was not well enough durin...
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been married for five whole years now, so where better to commemorate their anniversary but... Cuba? The couple took their mothers with them to Havana this week, where they went out to lavish meals, posed for pictures with the locals and wore a bizarre array of animal print clothing and accessories.
On Wednesday night, they dined at La Guarida - where Jack Nicholson and Jodie Foster have previously eaten - and waitress Silvia Fernandez described Beyoncé as "beautiful, without a drop o...
As you probably already know, Ryan Lochte has a reality show coming on soon, and who better to look to as a beacon of success in that arena but Kim Kardashian, the veritable queen of unscripted-but-really-scripted TV? I know, I know - who in their right mind would want to have anything in common with the Kardashians (except maybe their money)? Alas, Ryan's swimming prowess has canceled out his brain power and that's exactly what he wants.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
"Kim started from pretty much nothing, and now everyone everywhere knows w...

In a somewhat random and sorta "eh, who cares?" turn of events, Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon is apparently dating Timothee Chalamet, the Vice President's kid who hit the woman while joyriding with Brody's daughter on Homeland last season. That kid was kind of a dick but Brody's daughter is SO much more annoying and the actress who plays her overdoes EVERYTHING. But that's besides the point.
From The New York Post:
The pair met at La Guardia High School of Music & Art & Performing...
Kendall Jenner has already made it clear that she's got no interest in being a Kardashian, but with Kris Jenner as her mother and Kim, Kourtney and Khloe as sisters, there's no way for her to avoid the celebrity ho stroll. Tant pis for Kendall, who is glad she's filthy rich and all but wishes she could just be a normal kid sometimes.
From Cosmopolitan:
