March 24, 2009

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - **EXCLUSIVE** James Franco shies away from media attention following the recent backlash from his fellow students at UCLA. The Pineapple Express and Milk movie star is currently filming a new movie in New York but has recently been in the news after a fellow student took a picture of him fast asleep during a lecture. Students have also now set up a facebook group against him being the commencement speaker at their 2009 graduation because he is 'clearly and average student'. More than 300 people had signed up to the group feeling that he did not take the course in English and creative writing seriously.
