Is Spider-Man star James Franco lookin’ to spin himself a safety net?

Students at Columbia University and NYU are abuzz with the news that Franco is adding his well-sculpted torso to the student body.

Franco was overheard saying he is enrolled in the Columbia Master of Fine Arts Writing Program for fall 2008, and he'll be taking classes at Tisch School of the Arts (NYU) as well...you know, in case this whole ridiculously successful acting career thing doesn’t work out.
