'Girls Gone Wild' Man Joe Francis Plans Wedding; Quincy Jones the Best Man?

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 2nd 2010 07:17AM

Someone check to see if temperatures in hell have dropped below freezing, because Joe Francis, noted gambler, flesh expert and 'Girls Gone Wild' founder, is getting hitched. The lucky girl is his on-off girlfriend of four years, Los Angeles-based CBS reporter Christina McLarty.

Though he popped the question in a traditional way, while they were vacationing in St. Tropez, Francis told Page Six that he and McLarty won't be taking a mainstream route for their actual wedding.

"We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don't believe it's appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States," he said.

Francis, who has made a fortune selling videos of college girls taking their tops off, and McLarty are planning a ceremony for around 200 guests at Francis' beachfront estate in Punta Mita, Mexico.

"The weekend will be fun, luxurious and filled with lots of surprises," he said, revealing that music producer Quincy Jones has agreed to be his best man.

"This will be a nontraditional celebration of love, family and friends," Francis said.

It's been a quiet 2010 for the 37-year-old Francis, who spent nearly a year in jail in 2008 on a myriad of charges in Florida. He also went to court with Steve Wynn over a $2 million gambling debt. Last year, he pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns and the IRS announced he owed close to $34,000 in back personal income taxes.

Saying they won't get traditionally married until their gay and lesbian friends are able to is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I can't believe I even read anything about this dumba--, I mean dude.

UGH! this nasty dude is so gross. I don't care how much money he has, I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. Seriously, what woman in her right mind would marry this m0r0n? I can just imagine her telling her future kids, "Dad's job is to film sl uts taking off their clothes." What father-material this man is!

How can ppl judge Do you call Hefner (Playboy founder) nasty for doing the same thing. GGW ask the girls if they want to and then ask for I.D. to make sure there of age. I dont blame him for the girls who shown i.d. that said over 18 n it came out they were not blame the parents and the girls. His making a living just like everyone else. I say congrat to Joe and good luck

Yes!! Hugh Hefner is gross..in fact he is downright disgusting!!!

One of the biggest differences between Hefner and Francis is that Hefner's models are sober, lucid adults who go into it knowing what they're getting into; while Francis deliberately targets drunk or high teenagers, and Francis knows full well that the girls are not in any position to be making rational decisions when they sign their releases. His M.O. may hold up in court but it doesn't make him any less of a sleaze.

Yes, the final result is the same, both Hef and Francis have made their livings with females showing their bodies. But at least Hef's models know what they're getting themselves into, while many of Francis's do not.

Rod. Last time I checked, teenagers weren't legally allowed to drink and if by high, you mean they were on drugs, then that is illegal to. But please, don't let this horrible human being take advantage of these sweet, unsuspecting girls.

Can you see this lasting more than 6 months? She will catch him with some underage girls who took their tops off for him for his videos.

BS. He doesn't want to get married because when he cheats on her, he won't have to worry about her finding out and taking half of his fortune.

cop-out!

What is the word for a girl that lives with a guy but isn't married? No seriously. It's like a legal term.

By mw

They have been on again, off again for 4 years? Is that how the marriage will work too? This is one guy who should not get married. UGH

By anonymous

To me the oddest part about this story is the fact that Quincy Jones is going to be the best man....really?
