Video: James Franco Responds to Oscar Hosting Backlash

James Franco stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman this week to promote Your Highness, but the conversation turned to Franco's performance as an Oscar host — or, more specifically, the way he was ripped to shreds the next day.

James Franco stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman this week to promote Your Highness, but the conversation turned to Franco's performance as an Oscar host — or, more specifically, the way he was ripped to shreds the next day. Watch as Franco makes his first public response to the backlash, saying that it was Anne Hathaway's energy (not drugs) that made him look subdued and that he did the best he could. Sounds like it's still a wee bit of a sensitive subject, but check it out for yourself.

Bradley Cooper's Limitless Charm Wins Over More Fans as The Hangover Part II Trailer Debuts!

Bradley Cooper is the latest celebrity to join in the fun on Spain's El Hormiguero TV program yesterday.

Bradley Cooper is the latest celebrity to join in the fun on Spain's El Hormiguero TV program yesterday. Orlando Bloom was recently coaxed into wearing a blond wig, and Jennifer Aniston planted a kiss on the famous purple ant puppet during her visit. It seems Bradley was willing to blow up balloons and play games while chatting up his latest blockbuster, Limitless. The film was box office champion for its opening weekend in the States, and now he's in the midst of promoting the thriller overseas. Meanwhile, Bradley inadvertently pulled an early April Fools' joke last week when he teased that The Hangover Part II trailer was going to drop today, but it actually was released last night — check out the wild and crazy preview on Buzz!

Blake Lively traded her lacy white daytime Dolce & Gabbana for a sexy red Marchesa minidress and Brian Atwood shoes at last night's CinemaCon awards in Las Vegas. She and Green Lantern costar Ryan Reynolds were out to promote their movie, and she accepted the statue for breakthrough performer of the year during the ceremony. Other honorees of the evening included Helen Mirren, Julianne Hough, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Chris Hemsworth. Backstage Blake enjoyed being surrounded by handsome men, not the least of which is her friend Ryan, who is sporting a hot new haircut, and she joked that she felt like she was at a "superhero convention." In fact, she's headed straight for one as she and Ryan will jet off to San Francisco today for WonderCon, where BuzzSugar will be reporting live from all the action all weekend long!

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan laughed, smiled, and cuddled close as they posed together at their Source Code screening afterpary in NYC last night. The two are in their home stretch of promoting the film stateside, and it arrives in theaters today — check out Buzz's rave review here. Lindsay Lohan hit the red carpet at the event after a wild evening out in the city on Wednesday, though she insists that falling in the street was all a joke. Perhaps she was getting in the April Fools' Day spirit early? Jake had a big smile on his face for all the photos and his sweet charm was front and center earlier in the day when he was caught in the middle of Carrie Ann Inaba's engagement surprise.

Ryan Reynolds brought his smoldering good looks and shorter hairdo to CinemaCon in Las Vegas last night. He joined Blake Lively at the convention, held at Caesars Palace, for their movie, The Green Lantern. Blake was honored with an award at the event that also brought out The Help's Emma Stone and pals Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. Ryan is gearing up to start promoting his Summer film following a stint in South Africa, where he was filming Safe House. He did more than just work during his time on set, though, and kicked off a new Spring romance with model Agnes Fischer when he was away from the cameras.

The Hangover Part II Trailer Is Here: Same Story, New Setting

After a funny but ultra-brief teaser, we now a full trailer for The Hangover Part II.

After a funny but ultra-brief teaser, we now a full trailer for The Hangover Part II. Just like the first film, the guys are on the verge of a wedding, but this time it's Stu's, and instead of Vegas, they're in Thailand.

Although the trailer is definitely funny and holds lots of promise for more outrageous humor (you can't go wrong with a face tattoo bit), there's no originality to this follow-up story. From the bachelor trip to the loss and subsequent search for one of their posse, the plot is exactly the same. Even the nature of the jokes is about the same, which makes me think this movie will have no surprises. I loved the first movie, and I still love this gang, but I wish that there would be more to look forward to come May 26 when the movie is released. Let me know if you agree when you read more
