James Franco is now officially a member of both Twitter and Facebook. (And not a moment too soon; how else were we supposed to keep up with his never-ending career moves?)

"How's it going? This is James Franco," he says in a videotaped message posted on Facebook on February 18. "Just saying that this is the authentic Facebook and Twitter and every other page... All those other ones are impostors."

Franco, who had more than 120,000 followers on both sites as of press time, adds, "I've decided to go onto the Web, and this is the real thing. So, welcome. Don't listen to those other pages."

The Oscar host/nominee hasn't posted too many messages thus far, but he has shared quite a few images, including arty self-portraits, a cartoon sketch of an actor at an audition, and several photographs. Among them: Julia Roberts in "Steel Magnolias"; a plane passenger holding a sign urging viewers to join the Mile High Club; and, er, an unflushed toilet.

Will you follow the all-over actor on Facebook and Twitter?

Poor Archie.

Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta has been dropped by his label, Jive Records, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While the singer's 2008 self-titled debut album sold nearly a million copies and was certified platinum, Archuleta's latest album, 2010's "The Other Side of Down," sold only 67,000 copies as of February 18, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Is Matthew Morrison singing love songs to Olivia Munn? It sure seems like it.

The "Glee" actor and the "Perfect Couples" star were spotted heating things up at a hockey game between the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden on February 20. According to Just Jared, the duo held hands during the showdown and reportedly snuck in a smooch as well.

Munn, who is currently in New York City filming the Sarah Jessica Parker comedy "I Don't Know How She Does It," previously dated "Star Trek" star Chris Pine, while Morrison was once engaged to soap actress Chrishell Stause.

Morrison and Munn haven't yet officially gone public as a couple, but perhaps he's still getting to know her better first: Asked which item he would never want to find in a potential girlfriend's apartment, the Broadway veteran, who prefers a "real classy kind of woman," told Elle magazine: "A Snuggie. Have you seen those things?"

Billy Ray Cyrus revealed in an interview with GQ magazine that he should have never let Miley become so “Hannah Montana” famous.

Cyrus says the show destroyed his family, and he's now scared for his daughter Miley. In the wake of those comments, Billy Ray has canceled his appearance on “The View.” Does this mean Billy Ray regrets his Miley tell-all?

I think on some level, he might. He obviously had a need to get the stuff he said off his shoulders. But if it caused a major rift with his daughter, he may be finding that telling-all wasn’t worth it in the grand scheme of things.

Director Baz Luhrmann will take the Jazz Age into the modern age now that reports have been confirmed that he'll shoot his version of "The Great Gatsby" in 3-D.

As Marquee reported last month, Luhrmann said he had workshopped the project in 3-D but hadn't yet committed to using the technology. Now, a deal has been struck to shoot "Gatsby" in 3-D in Sydney, Australia, writes the Hollywood Reporter.

The film will star Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Carey Mulligan as shallow Daisy Buchanan. Mulligan is said to have beat out actresses Keira Knightley, Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson for the coveted role.

Pre-production on Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" is set to begin next month, with shooting slated to start in August.

After much anticipation, Sunday night finally saw the premiere of "The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business." The cast is filled with fan favorites who all have something to prove after making mistakes in seasons past which got them eliminated from the race.

Yes, the Goths (a.k.a. the Pink and Black Attack) Kynt and Vyxsin were back, along with the Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy; "School of Rock" screenwriter Mike and his dad Mel; and oh my gravy, the most memorable of all, cowboys Jet and Cord (plus, of course, some others).

The race started right away with the first challenge: teams had to search through a Los Angeles field for paper airplanes bearing the name of the airline which would take them to their next destination (which they had to guess).

A new Anna Nicole Smith opera has really hit a sour note with the late star's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who calls the show "trashy and tabloidy."

"Anna Nicole," currently playing to sold-out crowds at London's Royal Opera House, is billed as a "celebrity story of our times," according to the Hollywood Reporter, and includes sexual content, adult language and drug use.

Smith, who died of a prescription drug overdose in 2007, is portrayed in the show by soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek, who flashes her breasts and simulates explicit acts with a man in a wheelchair in some of the scenes.
