James Franco is no stranger to controversy. His hobbies include posting naked selfies to Instagram and he enjoys the company of young women. However, the Broadway star was adamant he did not sleep with child star Lindsay Lohan after her "conquest" list became public. Franco pokes fun at the scandal with his own account of their night together in a "fictional" essay for Vice.

The "This Is The End" star describes his stay at Bungalow 89 at the Chateau Marmont, where he stayed while his house underwent repairs. He first met director Gus Van Sant there, and spoke about Leonardo DiCaprio's "pussy posse."

"There was a Hollywood girl staying at Chateau Marmont. She had gotten a key to my room from the manager. I heard her put the key into my front door and turn it, but I had slid the dead bolt and that thing-I don't know what you call it; it's like a chain but made of two bars-that kept the door from opening.

She said, 'James, open the door.'

Across the room was a picture of a boy dressed as a sailor with a red sailor cap, and except for his blondish hair (closer to my brother's color) he looked like me.

She said, 'Open the door, you bookworm punk blogger faggot.'"

Franco continues on to explain they read JD Salinger stories together. He flashes back to various people and places, such as posing for Gucci, hosting the Oscars, and the late River Phoenix.

"I ran my fingers through her hair and thought about this girl sleeping on my chest, our fictional Hollywood girl, Lindsay. What will she do? I hope she gets better. You see, she is famous. She was famous because she was a talented child actress, and now she's famous because she gets into trouble," he wrote.

"She is damaged. For a while, after her high hellion days, she couldn't get work because she couldn't get insured. They thought she would run off the sets to party. Her career suffered, and she started getting arrested (stealing, DUIs, car accidents, other things). But the arrests, even as they added up, were never going to be an emotional bottom for her, because she got just as much attention for them as she used to get for her film performances. She would get money offers for her jailhouse memoirs, crazy offers. So how would she ever stop the craziness when the response to her work and the response to her life had converged into one? Two kinds of performance, in film and in life, had melted into one."

He concludes by saying Lohan came back but he hid out with script writer friend Drew.
