James Franco on a soap? Why?

I don't know what bothers me more: the news that actor James Franco is going to appear on "General Hospital" in a story arc that's set to last for a few months (although he's only scheduled for three tapings, the article says) -- it seems to me that someone whose career is currently not on a downward slide shouldn't be doing a TV soap opera -- or the fact that the role where I found him to be the most attractive is, strangely enough, "Pineapple Express."


Yes, really. I have no idea why, so don't ask. It is what it is. Let's just accept it and move on.
