JAMES FRANCO EXPLAINS HIS NAKED INSTAGRAM PHOTOS

James Franco stopped by the Late Show With David LettermanThursday and discussed the racy selfies he recently posted of himself on Instagram.

“James, why? Honest to god, why?” the host asked about the actor’snow infamous photographs, in which he nearly exposed himself.

The actor, who is currently appearing on Broadway in the stage adaptation of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, said he wanted to set the record straight about his motivations. There’s a lot to get straight here and I don’t even know if we have time,” said the actor, who is no stranger tosocial media scandals. “But to me, it’s just a fun thing. It’s something I don’t put a ton of thought into, but it gets a lot of attention. I have a lot of followers on Instagram

RIHANNA MISSING????

Instagram Deleted Rihanna’s Account And Restored It, So Why’s She Still Missing?

What exactly is going on with Rihanna’s Instagram account? Over the past few days her profile has continued to vanish, then pop up again, leaving fans a little confused. A rep at Instagram confirmed that they did, in fact, temporarily delete the account, but it has since been reinstated on their end.

“On Monday we briefly disabled the account by mistake and restored it quickly,” a rep told MTV News. “But I can confirm that we have not deleted the account subsequently.”

What gives, then? Rihanna has been having so much fun on Instagram over the past few months, it seems strange that she’d suddenly decide to disable the account. One guess was that it might’ve had something to do with the topless Liu magazine photo she posted and subsequently removed, but Instagram made no comment on that.
