James Franco, who famously conked out during a lecture at Columbia, is back to his old form. The star — who insists he isn’t dating actress Ashley Benson — was on a date with the pretty blonde late last week. We’re told the pair went to catch the midnight screening of new Bond movie “Skyfall” at the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood. One fellow moviegoer told us, “They tried to stay incognito catching a late show together. But both James and Ashley fell asleep. They were woken up by theater staff at the end of the movie.” After we revealed Franco was seeing Benson, he said, “I also hear that I’ve been dating Selena Gomez, Kristen Stewart and Ashley Benson. Hot damn, am I a lucky guy.”
