James Franco, the young Hollywood dreamboat who famously impersonated James Dean and makes funny online videos, has recently been accepted to the PhD English program at Yale. He dabbled in creative writing at Columbia, and I had the chance to act in a crappy NYU student film that he was shooting as part of his effort to become an academic man of the cinema.

All pretensions aside, James Franco must be a serious pimp to have made his way into the ultra-exclusive Yale English doctorate program. I know that it involves extensive memorization of every important text ever written in the English language, and since Yale has revamped its professor-student sex policies, he won’t be able to charm his way through this one using his devilish good looks and virile young body.
