Columbia’s a good school. Some even say it fucks like franco, but I dunno, I haven’t been there.

He was also in a campus coffee shop at 11:50pm.

At that hour, most of them are just quiet and empty public spaces with tables.

He just wants what every other Columbian & NY’er loves – anonymity in public. He’ll figure it out.
Hell, I accidentally pissed off Elijah Wood the other night in the East Village. I felt like an ass, even from a completely honest & shocked reaction.

Hmm.. don’t those Columbia students feel embarrassed for harassing a celebrity like that? You’re in the Ivy League – don’t act like you’ve never seen a celebrity before.

It actually seems fairly legitimate. There is an article in the September GQ about him. You can check it out here and see for yourself:

“while studying in a campus coffee shop, a crowd had formed”

An Ivy League education and you can’t spot a dangling modifier?

Well….On the one hand anyone who studies (or write their eternal screenplay)in coffee shop is a douche, regardless of status. What do you think, people have to see you write for it to count?

But the Franco mania has really gone insane around here. It’s getting about the same attention as McCain-Obama in terms of hallway conversations from what I can get. Jesus Christ, just let the guy study fuck.

What do you expect to gain from going up to a stranger, who seems to have no interest in socializing (headphones= piss off in case people were still wondering) and introducing yourself because he’s famous? A ticket to the next Teen Choice Award? Him adding you on facebook?

that wasn’t a quote from gawker. that was from the spec blog:

i figure they need the publicity more than gawker.
