Not realizing when to let it drop — nor having producers knowledgeable enough to get him to drop it — desperate cheque casher and former boy bander Joey Fatone quizzed Milk‘s James Franco on what it was like to “play a homosexual.” Because playing gay is, like, harder than playing straight, right?

Franco should have said, “weren’t you in a boy band? I figured you’d know all about playing gay.”
Smokey Martini
Wow, that was a horrible interview.
Note to Fatone: your ignorance is showing.

What a tool. He’s a ‘friend’ of Lance Bass? Time for actors to start calling out interviewers on their juvenile, phobic nonsense. Get ready for the next round of lame interviews when the new Jim Carrey/Ewan MacGregor love story comes out. Wanna bet Jay Leno does another 4 months of non-stop gay jokes? Grow up already.
The good news is that James Franco is a sweetheart who has handled the nonsense with grace and good humor.

Always thought the Fat One was an idiot, it’s good to be right.
Gay actors play straights all the time, does that mean they are better actors?

It’s pathetic seeing such lameass questions and comments from El Chubbo, who was so very light in his loafers on “Dancing With the Stars.”
