When Honey Badgers Attack: James Franco Edition

If you heard our Oscar Podcast on “Feast of Fun” last month, you know how disappointed we were with James Franco hosting duties.

We summed it up to the fact that’s he’s rich, famous and therefore just like the Honey Badger, “James Franco don’t care! James Franco don’t give a shit!!” We thought “Honey Badger” went into hiberanation, until head Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch shoved a stick in his hole by telling NY Mag: “He [James] has so many balls in the air, he didn’t get to town ’til Thursday before the show on Sunday. I don’t think he realized how big a deal it is to do it until he was actually confronted with it. The only people who know how to host those shows are people who get up onstage every night and say, ‘Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. A funny thing happened… or people like Bette [Midler] who get up and sing all night and tell stories.’ But he didn’t get there.”

So naturally, James Franco, the Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger responsed by tweeting: “Bruce, he let me down.” Along with the attached photo, that looks like one of Perez Hilton’s preschool art projects, mocking Bruce Vilanch and Bette Midler (GASPS)!

There you have it folks: The Honey Badger just does what it wants! It doesn’t give a shit! Bruce Vilanch insists James wasn’t high during the show and told NY Mag he straight up asked Franco as much.

TO RECAP: We’re gay, you’re gorgeous, therfore we love you James Franco. But Bruce Vilanch is a legend, show some respect! Lastly, and most importantly, we can’t have anyone talking shit about Bette Midler.

And P.S. In case you missed it, James Franco, check out our “Big Gay Oscar Podcast.”

(Spoiler Alert) You sucked.
