James Franco Covers 'The Advocate' October 2010

James Franco bundles up on the cover of the October 2010 issue of The Advocate!

Here’s what the 32-year-old actor, who plays iconic gay poet Allen Ginsberg in Howl, had to share:

On whether he’d admit if he were gay: "Sure, I'd tell you if I was. I guess the reason I wouldn't is because I'd be worried that it would hurt my career. I suppose that's the reason one wouldn't do that, right? But no, that wouldn't be something that would deter me. I'm going to do projects that I want to do. Everyone thinks I'm a stoner, and some people think I'm gay because I've played these gay roles. That's what people think, but it's not true. I don't smoke pot. I'm not gay…"

On why he chooses to portray gay characters: "In this history of cinema, there are so many heterosexual love stories. It's so hammered, so done. It's just not that interesting to me. It's more interesting to me to play roles and relationships that haven't been portrayed as often."

On how nothing would stop him from taking the role in Howl: "You want to know what my agents did try to talk me out of? General Hospital. They didn't think me acting in a soap opera was the greatest idea. But they know that I've always wanted to do a movie about the Beats, so no one tried to stop me from playing Allen Ginsberg."

Lauren Graham Dating Peter Krause -- Her On-Screen Brother!

Lauren Graham has kept her dating relationship with her Parenthood co-star (and on-screen brother) Peter Krause a well-kept secret — until now!

Here’s what the 42-year-old actress (in a magenta bodycon dress by Reiss) shared in the October 2010 issue of Redbook:

On transitioning from costars to lovers: “One of the things that’s been so fun is that it’s so easy. It’s a lot, to work with somebody and spend time with them, too.”

On meeting each other fifteen years ago: “I think we liked each other [but] he asked me over to his house to play a board game - and that’s exactly what we ended up doing. So I was like, ‘This guy doesn’t like me. Who actually plays a board game?’… The timing wasn’t right. I don’t think either of us was ready.”

On keeping their relationship under wraps at first: “Nobody knew about it for awhile, because we like to be at home, cooking and not going out. I’ve also been really protective of it, because it’s important that you can buy us as brother and sister on the show.”

FYI: Lauren is wearing a Dana Rebecca Designs Elizabeth Ann 14k White Gold & Purple Jade Ring on the cover.

Spencer Pratt to Heidi Montag: I Failed Spectacularly

Spencer Pratt has reached out to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Heidi Montag, and he says he hopes she can forgive him for his behavior.

“Divorce can be a trying, draining, and emotionally devastating experience for all involved,” Spencer, 27, told People. “Despite these hardships, most individuals manage to conduct themselves with dignity and maturity. I did not – I failed spectacularly.”

“I horribly embarrassed the one person that meant the world to me. For my outrageous and infantile behavior, I offer Heidi my most sincere apologies,” Spencer continued.

“Over the years, her love, support, and friendship were always given, but never properly cherished. I let her down. She never deserved the pain and anguish I put her through, and although I don’t expect it, I hope in time she’ll be able to forgive me.”

“Even though our relationship has changed, I will always count her among my best friends,” Spencer concluded.

Lauren Conrad, on where she thought she’d be in her twenties: "I was never that girl who just wanted babies. I wanted a career before all of that."

Amanda Seyfried, on the best and worst things about turning 25: "The best thing is, I'm happy. The worst is that I'm scared; the scariest thing is that I know it can't be easy - the years to come."

Gabourey Sidibe, on celebrating her twenty-fifth birthday: "Part of me thought it would be weird if people knew I was a grown-up playing a teenager in Precious. So I had a twenty-first-birthday party. We had drinks and went to a strip club called Shotgun Willie's."

Megan Fox, on being married: "When I talk about my husband [Brian Austin Green], I feel as if people roll their eyes. It's like when you're 16 and order a martini, and the waiter says, 'Do you think I'm stupid?' They can't grasp that I'm old enough to be married."
