(Cover) - EN Showbiz - James Franco has admitted he wont be taking any hosting tips from Ricky Gervais, as he bombed at the Golden Globes.

The in-demand Hollywood star, will present the 83rd Academy Awards tonight at the Kodak Theatre. The 32-year-old admits he does feel pressure to be a success, but insists he will not be turning to the British comic for advice.

Ricky received criticisms for his hosting of the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year, and his below the belt jokes involving stars such as Charlie Sheen, Kim Cattrall and Cher. Ricky had also jokingly offered to write James opening monologue, an offer rejected by the actor.

He did his award show and he bombed. Why is he trying to get in on ours? Horrible. His lines weren't good on the Golden Globes," he remarked to E! magazine, before adding "why does he want to do our lines?" (C) Cover Media
