Why Was James Franco Staring At His iPhone During The Oscars?

Probably-stoned Oscars host James Franco and his giggly, unbearable sidekick Anne Hathaway: mediocre. But whilst bombing, Franco couldn’t keep his mitts off his iPhone – he first appeared on stage gleefully gripping it. So what’s he doing with the thing?

Well, besides sending out “I can’t believe I’m here either” self-shots and other social media documentation – what else was he doing? Fiddling with his jailbreak settings? Sexting Judy Dench? Is there a SeamlessWeb-esque app for pot? There’s a good chance the phone wasn’t even turned on and he had no idea.

    “James France has ousted Billy Crystal as mayor of the Oscars Stage”.

    I think I’m missing part of the article, there’s no substance to what I’ve just read.
