James Franco is arguably one of the most famous young actors in Hollywood today, having taken on roles in films including Spiderman and Milk.

But the 32-year-old actor is entirely unrecognisable in his latest role — posing in full drag for transvestism magazine Candy.

Franco is seen wearing heavy eyeshadow and lipstick as he is shot in dresses as well as T-shirts and jeans for the pictures taken by renowned photographer Terry Richardson.

The shots, which feature in the Fall/Winter edition of the new magazine, come just weeks after Franco came forward to shoot down rumours about his sexuality.

Thanks to the roles he has chosen during his career, including playing Sean Penn’s lover in Milk, Franco has found himself the centre of speculation about whether he is gay or not.

However, after insisting ‘I’m not gay’, Franco admitted he prefers starring in homosexual love stories because they are ‘more interesting’.

Franco’s next role is Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, which tells the story of climber Aron Ralston, who was forced to hack off his own arm with a penknife after it became trapped under a rock, leaving him stranded in a Utah canyon for five days with little food and water.

Christina Aguilera pushes boundaries of decency with soft-porn style perfume ad

It’s supposed to be an advertisement for her new fragrance Royal Desire.

But the commercial for Christina Aguilera’s latest perfume looks more like a low-budget soft-porn film as the newly single pop star shows off her curvaceous figure.

Showcasing her ample cleavage in a very low-cut dress and writhing in a chair in ecstasy as she sprays the perfume across her chest, the singer’s ad may be a bit too risqué for her younger fans.

Aguilera goes for a Marilyn Monroe-esque look with her curly blonde bob and plunging pink dress. The dress was custom-made by her stylist Simone Harouche to reflect the shape of the bottle and the colours of its box.

The 16-second ad sees a glamorous Christina discovering a gift on her pink ‘throne’ and unwrapping it to discover a bottle of her Royal Desire perfume.

Explaining the concept behind the perfume, Aguilera said: “I wanted to create a fragrance for women to feel desirable, sexy and adored, as we should be. All the elements of the campaign create a look of luxury and royalty.”

The ad was shot at the Villa Arroyo Vista in Los Angeles last month. Royal Desire is Aguilera’s fifth fragrance and comes a year after she released her last one At Night. Her growing scent business also includes her signature fragrance Simply Christina, Inspire and Xpose.

Kim Kardashian overdoes the fake tan with orange arms… and white hands

She’s known for her glowing skin and sultry style, posting how-to videos on her website for fans who want to emulate her exotic appearance.

But Kim Kardashian made an amateur mistake on Friday as she stepped out in New York with sister Kourtney Kardashian.

The 30-year-old was so overly tanned she looked orange — apart from her telltale white hands.

Not only was the tan too heavy, it also appeared to have been applied in a bit of a hurry.

And the thick layer of make-up and bronzer she wore on top only served to highlight her bizarre skin tone.

Perhaps the reality star is overcompensating because she’s away from the natural sunshine of Los Angeles.

Kim has been staying in New York as she films Kim and Kourtney take New York, with Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick.
