This year’s Hilarity for Charity (HFC) event was a Bar Mitzvah for none other than my personal favorite, James Franco. HFC is a charity that aims to get awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, founded it after her mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. This was their 4th annual event to raise money for the cause. Seth has stated many times that James has always complained about never having a Bar Mitzvah, so he decided to make that dream come true. Genius idea.

The night started with food from numerous food trucks and establishments and of course drinks with sponsors like Svedka and La Croix. There was HFC merchandise including a t-shirt that said, “Boys become men at Franco’s Bar Mitzvah.” Another nice touch was the temporary tattoos with cartoon pictures of James Franco and Seth Rogen made by Tattly.

Here’s a quick rundown of the events. The live show began with a Fiddler on the Roof skit followed by auctioning of items with help from Bill Hader. There was a magic show by Justin Willman, who was giving me flashbacks to the movie Now You See Me and comedy acts by Ron Funches (Undateable) and Kyle Kinane. Others in attendance include: Maria Shriver, Ben Feldman (Mad Men), Katie Lowes (Scandal), Steve Wozniak and Brooke Elliott (Drop Dead Diva).

Of course they had to stage a circumcision officiated by Rabbi Jeff Goldblum. A video also played, which showed Zac Efron who was portraying Franco’s foreskin. Charming, right? Haim came out to play “Hava Nagila” while the audience danced the Hora. But it was Miley Cyrus who got the party going with “We Can’t Stop,” and a cover of “Shout.” In total, HFC raised $2.5 million, an incredible feat by HFC all the while providing a memorable night for many.

Congrats on becoming a man, James!

MOVIE TRAILER: The Interview

On October 10, 2014 we will be graced with the film, The Interview starring besties James Franco and Seth Rogen. The basis of the film is that the CIA recruits Dave Skylark (Franco) and Aaron Rappaport (Rogen) to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The two are not the brightest human beings and thus the comedy ride commences.

In an interesting turn of events, North Korea has threatened the US over the release of this film. I guess they didn’t see This Is The End.
