The wait is finally over.

Today, James Franco will begin his multi-episode arc on 'General Hospital,' playing the appropriately titled character Franco, a mysterious artist-assassin out to wreak havoc on Port Charles.

In preparation for the big day, AOL TV snagged an exclusive interview with Franco, in which he talks more about his character name, his steamy on-screen hookup and how his upcoming '30 Rock' guest spot came about.

Watch the video after the jump, then check back a bit later for our full coverage on his first episode.

She may only be 5'7".

But there are plenty of big things ahead for 18-year-old Nicole Fox, who was just named the winner of 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 13.

The adorable Fox was kind enough to stop by our New York office this morning to talk more about last night's finale, beating runner-up Laura and what's next on her horizon (ok, I got her to smize, too).

Sarah Palin proved a good sport during her Oct. 2008 appearance on 'Saturday Night Live.' But not everything was met with the former Vice Presidential candidate's approval.

In an interview with David Letterman, cast member Seth Meyers confirmed a report in Palin's book, 'Going Rogue,' which claimed that she had line cut from Amy Poehler's rap. The line riffed on her campaign's saying, "drill, baby, drill!"

"That's 100 percent true," Meyers said.

Written by Poehler, the original line said "When we're in Wascilla, it's chill, baby, chilla/In the bedroom with Todd, it's drill, baby, drilla."

After getting caught in between Jim and Pam on 'The Office,' actress Rashida Jones has moved on to another Thursday night NBC comedy: 'Parks and Recreation,' co-starring Amy Poehler.

Rashida plays Ann Perkins, a nurse who is now dating Leslie's (Poehler) co-worker, Mark (Paul Schneider) -- a big improvement, considering that her last relationship quite literally ended in the pits.

'Parks' -- which was just renewed for a full second season -- has seen a big improvement from season 1, says many critics and fans. But according to Jones, that's not entirely the case.

AOL TV recently chatted with the star about the quality of season 2, the pickup news and whether Karen will ever return to 'The Office.'

On the heels of the hit Michael Jackson documentary, 'This Is It,' A&E has set a premiere date for 'The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.'

The reality miniseries will kick off Dec. 13 at 9PM, with back-to-back hour long episodes, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Moving forward, the six-episode series will air Sundays at 10PM on the network.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will host the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, Variety is reporting. Last year's host, Hugh Jackman, recently opted not to return.

This will be Martin's third time hosting the Oscars. He was last seen on the Kodak stage in 2003, which went on to become the lowest-rated Oscar telecast ever to that point (it was later "topped" by Jon Stewart in 2008). Baldwin has never hosted, although he did receive a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for the 2003 film 'The Cooler.'

Baldwin and Martin can also be seen in the upcoming Nancy Meyers comedy, 'It's Complicated,' due in theaters this December.
