QUITTEN TIME

Jamie Cakes quits Twitter!!

Geez, he didn't even say goodbye!! A UK paper reports: Oscars host James Franco has disabled his Twitter account today after just a month-and-a-half on the social network site. It coincides with the transmission of an interview he recorded on Monday with David Letterman, in which he admits he had ‘low energy’ during his lamented helmsmanship of the ABC telecast for the awards. Some fans of Renaissance man Franco, 32 , have also noted that he deleted his account on April Fool’s Day and are hoping that the sudden disappearance is a Franconian prank. However seasoned followers say it lacks his trademark surreal humour. The 127 Hours star himself seemed to lay the matter to rest when he predicted the death of social media at a dinner in Washington, just hours before he pulled the account. Speaking at the creative writing non-profit 826DC’s benefit held at the Monaco Hotel, actor, writer, artist and Ph.D student Franco said: ‘Social media is over. Still up there. Going down. You heard it here first.’ Franco, who was speaking to newsite Politico, added: ‘My thought was ‘this is my Twitter. I can do whatever I want. But certain companies I work with contacted me about what I was saying.’ His tweets throughout that ill-fated hosting gig alongside Anne Hathaway, 28 , created a huge buzz on the social media site. Equally, much hype has surrounded the handsome actor posting pictures of himself sleeping with his pet cats and visceral home-made comics showcasing his acerbic wit. But a feud with seasoned Oscar writer Bruce Villanch after that disastrous night, struck a sour note amongst all the creativity.
