Joaquin Phoenix the musician may have his doubters - but Sean Combs isn’t one of them.
According to the rapper-turned-actor, the Oscar nominee really is an actor-turned-rapper. And since Diddy helped Phoenix record an album, he should know - right?

Is the Weird Joaquin Phoenix Documentary For Real?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Paparazzi Videos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
As we’ve been reporting, Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix purportedly dropped out of movies back in 2009 to focus on his musical career. The career switch has been documented, or at least that’s the claim, by Phoenix’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck.
From the word go, public opinion has been pretty strong that the whole thing was some sort of hoax. Now, Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix are actually shopping the project around…and no one’s really figured it out yet.

Joaquin Phoenix Co-Star Gwyneth Paltrow Weighs In
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
Almost all of Hollywood has lodged an opinion or repeated a rumor in regard to Joaquin Phoenix and his recent wacky behavior, appearance changes and career switch. Now, his very last motion picture co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow, is speaking up about what she thinks of the whole affair.
If Phoenix’s claim that he has left acting to focus solely on music is to be believed, Gwyneth Paltrow will be his final on-screen leading lady. The couple starred together in Two Lovers, the film which is supposed to be Phoenix’s last.

Joaquin Phoenix: One Joke Over the Line?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Meltdowns, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
At fist, Joaquin Phoenix’s startling announcement, appearance and actions were shocking - suddenly and without warning he grew a bushy beard and said see ya to the industry that made him a star. Upon announcing he would no longer be acting, Phoenix stated that he would now be focusing on his music.
When the media and the fans actually heard him perform, suddenly Phoenix’s act started to become funny. He won laughter when he appeared on Letterman and became a winning Oscar joke thanks to Ben Stiller a few nights later. But now, many think Phoenix is taking things way, way too far.
Did it all just stop being funny?
During a performance at the LIV club in Miami, Phoenix recently jumped off stage to confront an audience member. Reportedly, the rapper/actor had to be dragged back on stage before he was escorted out. The camera crew that’s been almost constantly at the ex-actor’s side, led by Casey Affleck, was present. The same crew accompanied Phoenix to his now-infamous Letterman appearance.

Joaquin Phoenix Talks About His Look
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Joaquin Phoenix recently made the shocking announcement that he was leaving his film career behind and subsequently began growing a wild, untended beard and letting his brown locks hang long. He also seems to be launching a new career as a rapper.
The actor offered some insight into his new look in The Sun.
“It’s been important for me to just do something that’s extreme—that really separates me from that public Joaquin Phoenix persona,” he explained. His look certainly is extreme. But then the actor-turned-something else added, “Maybe I’m just lazy.”
Many have said the Phoenix career switch-up is all a hoax, part of some sort of promotional effort for a documentary which, it’s said, is being created by Casey Affleck and Phoenix. A lackluster performance given by Phoenix seems to confirm the rumors. By the way, the video of Phoenix falling off the stage is still being bandied about the Internet.

Joaquin Phoenix the Rapper: Just a PR Stunt?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Rumors,
When Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from film, the news came as a bit of a shock. When he further stated that he’d be eschewing screen fame for the music industry, it was quite a surprise.
But when we heard him perform, everyone began to wonder if perhaps Phoenix wasn’t as serious as he originally sounded in his statement. Surely a guy with his acting chops can’t hope to survive on bad raps!
Now, new rumors are coming to light in this odd little acting/rapping melodrama. Some say Phoenix is working with Casey Affleck on a documentary which films the actor’s odd behavior (including his Las Vegas performance, which ended with Phoenix falling off the stage).
A source with no name told EW very plainly that Phoenix himself stated, “It’s a put-on.” As in, one big hoax.
Is it?

Joaquin Phoenix: The Rapper?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Videos,
UPDATE: Sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Either we’re all being punked…or this will be the most interesting film about a “musician” since Dewey Cox.
On Friday night, Joaquin Phoenix - who announced last year that he was giving up acting for music - put on his very first vocal performance before a Las Vegas crowd. Instead of Johnny Cash, clubgoers at LAVO were treated to three songs from an entirely different type of genre: rap.

Questionable Photo of the Day: Joaquin Phoenix
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Photos,
UPDATE: Several sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Who’s that guy Diddy’s staring at? Believe it or not, that’s Walk the Line‘s Joaquin Phoenix. The two - along with Casey Affleck - were spotted partying in Miami Beach earlier this week.
Just a few months back, the Oscar nominee announced that he was giving up acting to focus on his musical career. Hopefully, he’ll also find time to focus on showers and shaving during his retirement. (You can see more pics of the 34-year-old’s new look after the jump.)
Phoenix still has one more film set for the big screen. Two Lovers, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, is scheduled for a February 13 release.

Another Baby in the Works for Matt Damon and Wife
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Pregnancies,
Is this something Sarah Silverman should be notified about?
People is exclusively reporting that actor Matt Damon is the latest Ocean’s Eleven star on the baby bandwagon. (Casey Affleck and his wife, Summer, recently had a son; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are also expecting again.) This will be the second child for Matt and his wife, Luciana. Damon is also a stepfather to Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage.
Last year, The Bourne Ultimatum star told Entertainment Weekly that being a new father (unexpectedly) helped him with his action role. Director Paul Greengrass said his sleepless nights actually translated well on camera.
Now that a new Bourne installment is in the works, maybe they should get production started soon? I mean Jason Bourne should really be tired of running by now, right?
