"It&amp;apos;s Justin Bieber&amp;apos;s world, and James Franco is just living in it. Earlier this month, the 127 Hours actor posted a video to his WhoSay page in which he lip-synched to the pop singer&amp;apos;s hit song &amp;quot;Boyfriend.&amp;quot; The clip made the rounds online but disappeared soon after -- and Franco says it&amp;apos;s because Bieber&amp;apos;s camp wasn&amp;apos;t amused by his little spoof.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I was asked to take it down by some people,&amp;quot; the star told E! News at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. &amp;quot;Bieber didn&amp;apos;t contact me, but I don&amp;apos;t think he was too happy.&amp;quot;\r\nThe video featured Franco frolicking around with his Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson while wearing a crooked baseball cap (a la Bieber). But he says it was all in good fun.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I wasn&amp;apos;t trying to diss him,&amp;quot; the actor insisted. (A source told E! that Bieber has never even seen the clip.)&amp;#xA0;\r\nIncidentally, Franco also paid homage to the pop sensation&amp;apos;s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, who thought his send-up of &amp;quot;Love You Like a Love Song&amp;quot; was &amp;quot;hysterical.&amp;quot; (Gomez stars in Spring Breakers with Franco, Benson, and Vanessa Hudgens.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I loved it,&amp;quot; the 20-year-old singer-actress told E! of the video. &amp;quot;It was so good.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
