James Franco Gets Artsy for ‘General Hospital’

James Franco is taking his General Hospital character, Franco, to a whole new level by bringing him into the NYC art world!

NYMag reports that the 31-year-old actor will participate in a gallery show at NYC’s Deitch Projects for an upcoming “special episode” of the soap he’ll be co-directing.

James wrote an editorial for the Wall Street Journal last month explaining why he wanted to guest star on GH, explaining that he considers it experimental performance art.

“No matter how far I got into the character, I was going to be perceived as something that doesn’t belong to the incredibly stylized world of soap operas,” he wrote.

Benjamin Millepied: Natalie Portman’s New Boyfriend?

Natalie Portman has a new love??

The 28-year-old actress has reportedly been dating 32-year-old Benjamin Millepied, 32, the choreographer of her new movie, Black Swan.

Natalie stepped out with her fellow New Yorker for the first time in public at a low-key New Year's Eve party in Tribeca.

"She has been subletting Sarah Michelle Gellar's apartment and she wanted to celebrate the New Year with a few close friends and introduce them to Ben," an insider tells In Touch. "They have actually been a couple since the fall, but she wanted to see how serious it was before she started to show him off to her inner circle. She really likes him."

Black Swan, due to be released later this year, tells the story of two ballerinas, played by Natalie and Mila Kunis. Benjamin began dance training as a child in France with his mother, a dance teacher.

Christina Aguilera Covers ‘Marie Claire’ February 2010

Christina Aguilera strikes a pose in front of a grand piano in the February 2010 issue of Marie Claire. Here’s what the 29-year-old mom shared with the mag:

On maturing in showbiz: “In this crazy business, it’s so easy to build up a lot of walls and a lot of bitterness. And it’s just no way to be… “[I can now use softer tones] that maybe I’ve been afraid to do in the past, to allow myself to go to a place of ‘less singing.’ I’m more vulnerable and more strong at the same time.”

On motherhood inspiring her to be lighter in her music. “I had a really hard time being light before. I’d get a little weird about it being too cliché. My first record was very clichéd pop - what everyone else wanted. [My second album Stripped] inspired by a lot of pain. [My third, Back to Basics,] /still had some sort of relation to my past. [My new album] is just about the future - my son in my life, motivating me to want to play and have fun.”

Christina’s new album is called Bionic, due out in March. The first single reportedly is a hip-pop track called “Glam,” produced by Tricky Stewart.

Reese Witherspoon looks fit and fabulous in a French Connection elastane/cotton mix dress on the February 2009 cover of InStyle UK. Here’s what the 33-year-old mom shared with the mag while munching on egg-white scramble with a side of biscuits:

How would you describe your life when you're not working? "I try to exercise every day. I like to run for about an hour and I'm big into working out with girlfriends. It's an acquired skill, being able to discuss your love life, children and friends – all while you're running! But we have mastered it."

What else do you do when you're just hanging out with your girlfriends? "There are three of us who wear pretty much the same size, so we'll get together on a Friday night and I'll bring clothes I want to trade and they'll bring theirs. We swap shoes and handbags a lot. I wore my girlfriend's dress to a wedding recently. It's fun."
