James Franco Gay jokes during the roast of Comedy Central discussed report' Rubin'

Dave Rubin of the "Rubin report" took Comedy Central task the barrage of jokes directed at James Franco gay during his roast of actor nominated for the prize of the Academy earlier this month. (Warning: contains graphic language)

Joining Rubin were Erin Foley comedian and producer Jayar Jackson, both of which were critical of the event.

"This was only is another example of what happens in nationwide comedy clubs - is stupid types straight to making gay jokes," said Foley. "They don't know James Franco... sincerely, it is absolutely ridiculous."

Jackson stung even fewer words, stating, "call it a written sh * t talk night instead of a roast."

For its part, Franco does not seem to mind speculation gay. Last week, told The Daily Beast: "I don't care if people think I'm gay, and was like, ' Awesome!'" That is, I wish that it was. … I hope that I was gay."

Jay-Z's 'Oceans' Commercial Sees Rapper Tracing His Life Story For Rick Rubin, Pharrell & More

Jay-Z released another Samsung promo ad on Thursday, and it's easily the best one yet. While his previous bits saw the rapper offering a smattering of lines that sounded interesting but didn't really offer much in the way of insight ("The idea is to really finish the album and drop it -- giving it to the world at one time and letting them share it"), the "Oceans" commercial reveals Jay-Z's intricate, multi-layered style of songwriting.

"Oceans" is a song featuring Frank Ocean, who does not appear in the ad (Beyonce appears elsewhere on the album). Instead, Jay-Z explains the concept behind the track to Rick Rubin, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Pharrell Williams. Take a look above, but here's the transcript:

It's like me, now, no matter where I go in life, and the things that I accomplish — when you walk in that room, your past still comes in with you. You hear people talking like, "Oh, that guy was the dealer from the projects and doo-doo-doom-doom." Back again to that duality — it's a celebration of where we are now, on some big yacht, throwing champagne in the water. But the undertow of the thing is like the same water that brought us here, originally. I slaved, so it has this whole duality. And how we all rewrite history — even the stories that we were told about the history of America… I'm like an anti-Santa Maria, talking about these stories - the only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace (that's Biggie Smalls). Silk and fleeces lay on my Jesus, oh my God, I hope y'all don't get seasick. You know, we're playing the theme with of being sea sick or seeing things and being jealous of it.

Pharrell is especially impressed, and Timbaland's jaw remains on the ground at the end of the clip. You? "Magna Carter Holy Grail," which first ships to Samsung phones via an app, will be released on July 4.
