Franco and LiLo? Nope

James Franco is one of the men named on the infamous list Lindsay Lohan compiled of her former lovers.

But Franco never slept with LiLo, he tells Howard Stern.

Franco, 36, does admit he hung out with LiLo two years ago "during a very dark period of her history." They were at the same hotel and one night she broke into his room.

"We maybe kissed," Franco tells Stern, "but it was lame."

Franco's revelation calls into question the media's assumption - never challenged by LiLo - that the list is of former sexual partners.

ESPN says O might be in a three-way partnership that includes music exec David Geffen and Oracle software guy Larry Ellison.
