Franco, Rogen spoof Kimye Vogue cover

James Franco and Seth Rogen have shared a spoof of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's Vogue cover shot.

James Franco and Seth Rogen have stepped up their comedy campaign against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian by spoofing the couple's new Vogue cover.

The actors previously parodied the rapper's Bound 2 video, in wich features West and a naked Kardashian on a motorcycle.

Now the actors have mocked the celebrity couple's latest headline-grabbing project.

Rogen took to Twitter to share a mocked up version of their cover shoot for fashion bible Vogue, which features his face superimposed onto Kardashian's body, while Franco takes the place of West with his arms wrapped around his bride-to-be.

"It had to be done," Rogen tweeted.

West and Kardashian appear on the cover of the April issue of American Vogue.

The reality TV star appears in a strapless wedding-style gown in the arms of West. The image was taken by celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz and is accompanied by the headline "Kim & Kanye, Their fashionable life and surreal times #WorldsMostTalkedAboutCouple".

Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has defended her decision to put the couple on the cover following a barrage of criticism from fashionistas.

In her editor's letter for the April issue, she writes: "Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it.

"As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancee on Vogue's cover. He did nothing of the sort."

On the inside pages of the magazine, the couple appear in photographs by Leibovitz walking down a desert highway and lounging in a private jet. Their nine-month-old daughter North West also makes a cameo appearance.
