JUSTIN Bieber has slammed broke Lindsay Lohan, while taking time to list his many accomplishments, in a new Instagram post.

The singer, who recently made headlines for collapsing at a London concert and threatening to beat up a photographer, went on a rant about his treatment in the press.

“It must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level…” the not-so-modest pop star unloaded on Instagram.

“…to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements ;)”

Bieber later removed his rant, then reposted it without the Lindsay Lohan reference.

The singer also denied rumours he’s going into rehab.

“if Anyone believes I need rehab that’s their own stupidity lol I’m 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I’ve seen the whole world. 19 and I’ve accomplished more than I could’ve ever dreamed of…” the singer wrote.

Franco slams Australian Film Board

JAMES Franco isn't happy with the Australian Classification Board and he wants them to know about it.

The Oz the Great and Powerful star has labelled the board's decision to ban screenings of Travis Mathew's gay-themed film, I Want Your Love, "hypocritical" and "disappointing."

The ACB banned the film from being shown at two gay-themed film festivals in the country, the Melbourne Queer Film Festival and the Brisbane Queer Film Festival, "citing the sex scenes between men as indecent", reports the Hollywood Reporter.

Franco took to YouTube to express his outrage, saying that the ban was "such a disappointment to me and it just seems really silly".

"It's how we create children, it's how we connect," he said. "To keep it away from films that want to explore it as human behavior is very shortsighted and I think very hypocritical. I don't think we would be having this conversation if he had made a very violent film.

"And frankly adults should be able to choose. They're not going in blind. I don't know why this day in age something like this, a film that's using sex not for titillation but to talk about being human is being banned."

Franco previously co-directed a bondage sex film, Interior.Leather.Bar, with the film's director Travis Mathews.
