James Franco and Sean Penn in Milk
I mean really gets into them. I mean reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally gets into them. Yes I’m talking about gay sex. From the New York Post:

Hollywood still seems to like its heroic gay characters played by straight men, and Franco isn’t bothered by perceptions. He told the 
Frost/Nixon might be about British talk-show host David Frost (played by Kate Beckinsale's ex Michael Sheen) interviewing former Prez Richard Nixon (Frank Langella), but the star of the red carpet was Leslie Bibb!
And no, we checked - she's not even in the Ron Howard flick. She was in The Skulls, though!
In addition to Leslie, we spotted Kevin Bacon, Sam Rockwell (above, looking fun and crazy) and even the two stars, Sheen and Langella... check 'em all out in the gallery below!
This is definitely Oscar-bait. Think it'll win Best Pic?
Though most X17online readers are obsessed with Rob Pattinson or crazy for Zac Efron, this X17online writer has a soft spot for James Franco! The "Milk" star was spotted in NYC last night in a slim grey suit, looking fine as always.
