James Franco signed a record deal and the fans are already wondering if he did this to pursue his lost love Lana Del Rey. While the actor/professor/poet has not flirted with Lana Del Rey in a long while, that doesn't mean that James Franco has forgotten about her!

According to the Guardian, "James Franco's group Daddy have inked a deal to release a full-length album and film entitled Let Me Get What I Want, a project largely inspired by the work of the Smiths. The actor (director, writer, producer, painter, poet etc), and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Keefe have signed a worldwide multi-year deal with Kobalt for the release, due in 2016. Each song will apparently come with its own video, which, when watched in sequence, tells a bigger story."

Looks like the actor thought of a very extensive and clever way to get Lana's attention. It may be only a matter of time that she becomes his girlfriend!

But not if he continues to poke fun of other beautiful women. James Franco recently shook the world of Instagram when he debuted a selfie with the face of Emma Watson tattooed on his neck. Of course, this was a big hoax, per James Franco tradition on Instagram, but this may start a flirting trend with Emma Watson, recently single.

At least James Franco isn't flailing around trying to get with the already taken Lana Del Rey.

According to Time, "the portrait of the Harry Potter star wasn't really inked on Franco's neck. It's an image from artist Cheyenne Randall, who uses photoshop to add tattoos to photos of celebrities."

The article also reported that "Watson and Franco are friends, though she's yet to comment on social media about the image. The two starred in the black comedy This is the End, where Watson played herself."

Maybe he should focus on his movies again.

James Franco has been all sorts odd things on Instagram lately, possibly to get the attention of Lana Del Rey. Too bad that "Honeymoon" singer is engrossed with her boyfriend, who is obviously not "127 Hours" actor.

But alas, Lana Del Rey isn't even batting her lashes at the stunts that he is pulling, choosing instead to focus on her music, work and, surprise surprise, her boyfriend Francesco Carrozzini.
