Everyone's favourite James Franco has done an interview for Playboy and in it he talks about deliberately ruining the 2011 Oscars because he didn't think that dressing in drag would be funny (he's got us there). He also took some time to refute the rumour that he's a gay rapist.

The original story was covered by Gawker in 2008 and I've literally not heard a single thing about it since then, so it may have been a bit foolish for Franco to refresh everyone's memory of the incident. He stated that the news story "was so fucking offensive because I have friends who have been raped," but when has a line like that ever worked? It's the kind of argument you hear from racists right after they say the n-word on television. Next thing you know James Franco will be appearing via satellite on Letterman, looking desperate and disheveled, saying "I'm not a rapist, that's what's so insane about this."
