When James Franco stopped by 'The Late Show With David Letterman' this week, the host just had to ask: What the heck is up with his nearly nude Instagram photo?

James Franco is, to put it diplomatically, a bit of an odd duck. Sure, he's a very talented guy -- and one who has never balked at using his talents across a wide range of professions -- but he's also kind of a weirdo in plenty of situations, especially as they apply to social media. And David Letterman is not having it.

Young Dave Franco has always done an admirable job of drawing a line between himself and his arguably more famous big brother, James. While Dave dedicated his career to delivering steadily improving supporting performances in a bunch of comedic outings -- think '21 Jump Street' or 'Neighbors' -- James has spent the last few years doing, well, just a lot of things, including some questionable socia

Has James Franco turned into a lecherous creep? The actor and Yale Ph.D student, who currently stars in 'Of Mice and Men' on Broadway, allegedly tried to pick up 17-year-old Lucy Clode, a young girl vacationing New York from Scotland who met Franco while at the stage door for the show.

Do you ever wonder what happens on late night shows during the commercial breaks? Does the host and his or her current guest sit there in silence?

Uck. Have you noticed it is only Wednesday? Sorry to remind you. Here, let these pictures of cute dudes with cute animals make it up to you. You're welcome.

One of the gimmicks behind Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 'This is the End' is that the cast is loaded with celebrities playing themselves. But that gets interesting when you have a performer like James Franco, whose life has become an art project. In this new featurette, you can see how the actors approached playing themselves.

Not to toot his already much-tooted horn, but James Franco really does look remarkably like screen icon James Dean. Which is probably why he was selected to play the tragic actor in an eponymous 2001 made-for-TV movie.

'Spring Breakers' director Harmony Korine is a bit of an enigma. His movie 'Gummo' is still a controversial subject among film critics, as is his dabbling in illicit substances. Now, David Letterman has explained why Korine was banned from his program more than a decade ago.

Okay, then. It's settled. James Franco is a fraud. Sure, he was joking when he admitted it on 'The Colbert Report,' but ... was he? Also, Stephen Colbert is probably unbeatable in a challenge of Tolkein trivia. Bonus: game of "Marry, Hit That, Throw a Pail of Water on Her...
