James Franco Uses Lindsay Lohan In New Poetry Book ‘New Hollywood Dreaming’ And Dishes On Four Other Famous Faces

James Franco sure is a jack-of-all-trades. The actor just published a book called "New Hollywood Dreaming: Stories, Pictures, and Poems," in which he uses a variety of famous figures as inspiration.

While a particular encounter with starlet Lindsay Lohan appears to be drawing a lot of attention, he also discusses encounters he has had with famous people from all corners of Hollywood.   

In the poem "The Voice of Lindsay Lohan," Franco writes from Lohan's perspective, telling of a bathroom tryst:

"I took James back to the bathroom."

"You know why Amy put mirrors all around in here?"

"Why?"

"So you can watch yourself f--k"

"He didn't f--k me, that shit."

Although Lohan famously revealed in an OWN documentary series that she had slept with Franco, as well as thirty-five other Hollywood stars, Franco denied hooking up with the actress.

Franco also brought up the Academy Awards hosting job that he had with Anne Hathaway in the poem "Bungalow 89."

In the piece, Franco writes:

"I was so unhappy about the Oscar rehearsals because they had cut my Cher sequence," says Franco. "I was supposed to sing the song from Burlesque, 'You Haven't Seen the Last of Me', dressed as Cher."

Franco reportedly has four short stories about actor Sean Penn in the book as well. In "Sean II," Franco writes:

"In Milk, you were such/ A fine homo. And when/ You and I kissed/ On Castro Street, it was for a full minute./ Your beard was like my father's."

The actor even wrote about Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor in a poem entitled, well, "Elizabeth Taylor." Regarding the famous leading lady who passed away in 2011, Franco writes:

"Poor Monty, he became a shadow./ A slouched figure in too-big pants./You got big and drunk and weird/ You went on General Hospital."

Franco also penned a short story called "Dope Boyz," in which he brings up rapper Riff Raff, who allegedly accused Franco of modeling his character in the film "Spring Breakers" after him.

"There's this guy Named Riff Raff, who claims I used him./ He's this jokester-style mutha-funker/ Who raps...In his clownish way, he's a good rhymer," writes Franco.

"Hollywood Dreaming: Stories, Pictures, and Poems," will be available on Tuesday, Sept. 23.
