James Franco and Seth Rogen Smoke ‘Fake’ Weed at MTV Movie Awards

It’s our favorite kind of green celeb gossip. That is, the other kind of green. You know what I’m sayin’?

James Franco and Seth Rogen had a message for kids at the MTV Movie Awards: don’t smoke pot. And especially don’t smoke fake pot. The actors lit up a ‘fake’ joint as they promoted their new film, The Pineapple Express – but audience members reported that it sure smelled like the real thing. As they lit up the joint, MTV cameras panned out to a wide shot.

“Kids, don’t really smoke fake weed like this,” Rogen told the crowd at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

James Franco is no stranger to the green stuff, as evidenced in this hilarious interview with MTV from last December. Uhhhh, whaaaaat? Duuuuude.

The wide shot thing is kind of funny considering the fact that any parent who lets their kids watch the MTV Movie Awards is probably rolling their kids’ joints anyway. Landmark reality show The Real World has devolved from showing at least somewhat intelligent twentysomethings dealing with, you know, life and stuff, to barely blurred hot tub orgies. Moral of the story: MTV is not for kids.

Remember when VH1 used to be the square adult contemporary channel that played Michael Bolton and Amy Grant videos? Now it’s the home of Flavor of Love. How times change.
