That James Franco -- he's always up to something, isn't he?
We can always count on Franco for a little comic relief.
Tuesdays can be such a bore, but surely not when there's so much Kimye news going around?

The Tribeca Film Festival is well underway and while Hollywood execs are tuning in to see the movies, we're focused on the red carpet.
When we heard, just about a month ago, that James Franco was involved in a documentary film about Gucci, we weren't exactly like, "Oh, that makes perfect sense." But then again, that's never been a reaction to anything James Franco does, has it (we're starting to think that's the whole idea)? Anyway, the actor-slash-producer-slash-many other things put the wheels in motion for the first documentary about the historic house of Gucci and its current creative director, Frida Giannini, who flies relatively under the radar as far as creative directors of big fashion houses go. It's called The Director and will bow at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend. We chatted with the film's director Christina Voros to find out how this documentary came about.

The first thing all of us thought upon seeing the first teaser for Oz the Great and Powerful late last year, was, "That movie's going to have some amazing costumes." And we were right. On a recent trip to California to check out some HSN Oz merch, I also got to see the movie, fawn over some of the main characters' costumes in person, go to a press conference with the actors and director, and chat with the film's costume designer, Gary Jones.
James Franco, renaissance man, is back with another video for 7 For All Mankind, his sixth for the denim brand.

Chanel announced today that Brad Pitt would be the new face of Chanel No. 5--making him the first ever male spokesperson for the iconic fragrance. That got us thinking: Could other storied brands go the same route as Chanel? Will we be seeing more handsome male faces in some of our favorite campaigns? If that's the case, supermodel Coco Rocha is not going to be happy. She tweeted earlier today: "No working model is happy for Brad Pitt and his new gig as the `face' of Chanel No. 5.#ThingsBitterModelsSay Cc: @Models@StyleWatchMag." Ouch. No doubt, Rocha would have leapt at the chance to represent the brand, whose eponymous designer she shares a first name with. But while we highly doubt models like Rocha will get edged out by leading male actors, we couldn't resist the chance to re-cast some of our favorite ads--with a little more testosterone this time. Click through to see what James Franco, David Beckham, One Direction, and more, would look like as the faces of some of the most iconic fashion brands.
