James Franco Announces 'Actor's Anonymous' Plans

He?s definitely one of the hottest hunks in Hollywood, and now James Franco is taking a shot at the writing game.

The ?127 Hours? star has written his first novel, titled ?Actors Anonymous,? and already sold it to Amazon Publishing.

The fictional work is based loosely on Franco?s life, and the book?s street date is still up in the air.

James has also written a book of short stories titled ?Palo Alto,? that was published by Scribner back in June 2011.

Elton John Taps Justin Timberlake for New Film

He?s one of the most colorful and creative forces in pop music over the past four decades, and Elton John is about to be immortalized in a new biopic.

The ?Benny and the Jets? hitmaker is excited about the fantasy musical biopic ?Rocketman? and he knows just who he wants to play him- Justin Timberlake.

John told press, "I've got a wish list of people. No. 1 on my wish list is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video of "This Train Don?t Stop There Anymore" and was superb."

Speaking about the film, Elton shared, "That would be a jukebox musical in earnest, maybe with a couple of new songs. You never know. Because it's going to be a surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life, more in the manner of a ?Moulin Rouge!? I just don't want it to be a normal biopic because my life hasn't been like that. And it only goes up to when I go into rehab in 1990. It starts with me going into rehab and ends when I come out."

Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem, the Latest Distracting Casting Move for Lovelace

I can kind of see a resemblance between Demi Moore and feminist activist/journalist Gloria Steinem, whom the former Mrs. Kutcher has been tapped to play in Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace. But at this point the porn biopic -- the one starring Amanda Seyfried as Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace, to feature a cameo by James Franco as Hugh Hefner -- feels like it's turning into a bizarrely distracting hit parade-sideshow of stars/names playing real life Lovelace acquaintances. (Further evidence, just announced over the wires: Eric Roberts as... lie detector test administrator Nat Laurendi! For reals.)

According to a press release, Moore, Roberts, and Adam Brody are the latest cast members to join Lovelace, with Moore's Steinem turn described by Variety's Jeff Sneider as just a cameo-length role. Brody, meanwhile, will play porn actor Harry Reems, who co-starred as the doctor diagnosing Lovelace's unusual condition in the 1972 XXX flick Deep Throat. Raise your hand if you're ready to see the guy from The O.C. with a porn 'stache. (*crickets...*)

The popularity of Deep Throat and its crazy, mob-financed backstory notwithstanding, Lovelace's life is rife with rough drama: Her entry into the porn business under the thumb of abusive husband Chuck Traynor (portrayed in Lovelace by the ultimate guy you can't trust in movies, Peter Sarsgaard), her later claims that he forced her into prostitution and unwilling sex acts under pain of violence, including in scenes of Deep Throat, and her eventual foray into the anti-porn movement with supporters like Steinem.

Based on Eric Danville's 2011 book The Complete Linda Lovelace, the film's supporting cast already includes Franco, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Bobby…
