James Franco and Tyrese Gibson supposedly have an ongoing fued. The fued all started back when the pair co-star in the 2006 film, "Annapolis." Tyrese famously called James out by saying he'll refuse to work with James ever again. Read it for yourself, folks:

[James Franco] tells Complex magazine, "We've made up, or I tried to make up with him. Maybe I was too into that role. I don't try to be mean to anybody on a movie. In the past I've tended to isolate (myself), and maybe people take that as me being rude or me not liking them, but it's really a way for me to stay in my character. I really had nothing personal against Tyrese, but I guess there were a lot of misunderstandings."

In his Playboy interview, Gibson growled, "I never want to work with him again, and I'm sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal. It was f**ked-up." [source]



Pregnant "Ugly Betty" executive producer Salma Hayek air out her thoughts on the Bible in the May issue of "Marie Claire":

"I don't like the way the Bible views women - this thing about the Virgin Mary conceiving a child without having sex - so if you conceive a child by having sex, there's a subliminal message that there's something dirty about it.

"And this is what makes us divine - I mean, the possibility of creating another life should remind women that we are creators, that we are made like God in our ability. There is nothing greater than to create another human being." [source]
