Joaquin Phoenix said in a recent interview about rumors that his effort at rapping is all just a hoax:

"Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that’s possible, but that’s certainly not my intention."

"It sucks that, yeah, the footage is out there as like this incredibly bad sound, and you literally can’t hear what’s happening. It was much better in the club, and I don’t know who said that people were booing, because that was not happening."

What about when he fell off the stage? Did he mean to do that too? Is he also trying to be a comedian? If Phoenix isn’t faking it, then he really need to have his head examined, because he’s lost his mind.

Joaquin Phoenix has been doing lame rap performances after he announced leaving acting to become a rapper. Well … two of his friends came forward to tell Entertainment Weekly it is all an act:

"It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it."

"It’s an art project for him. He’s going full out. He probably has told his reps that he’s quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control."

So Joaquin makes himself look like a homeless idiot while Casey Affleck films it like an elaborate art project. Sounds like a dumb career move for an award winning actor.

Gwyneth Paltrow stars in Two Lovers with Joaquin Phoenix. In the Movie Paltrow takes her top off, then plays with her girls to tease a peeping tom, played by Phoenix. Here’s the synopsis:

Two Lovers is a romantic drama set in New York City. The movie is a Brooklyn-set romantic drama about a bachelor (Phoenix) torn between the family friend his parents wish he would marry and his beautiful but volatile new neighbor. It tells the story of Leonard (Joaquin Phoenix), an attractive but depressed young man who moves back in with his parents following a recent heartbreak. An aspiring photographer, Leonard works part-time at his father’s dry-cleaners. His concerned parents try to set him up with Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), the sweet and caring daughter of a close family friend. A big family dinner serves as their introduction and Leonard arranges to see her again. Then late one night Leonard looks out his bedroom window and notices a ravishing young woman he’s never seen before. Michelle (Gwyneth Paltrow) recently moved into an apartment in his family’s building – an apartment paid for by the wealthy married man she’s seeing.

Two Lovers is a James Gray film which also stars Isabella Rossellini, and Vinessa Shaw.

Joaquin Phoenix said this was his last film. Two Lovers hits theaters February 13.

Joaquin Phoenix, who quit an incredible acting career to pursue music, was in Las Vegas Friday performing at Lavo as a rapper. (video above)

Joaquin’s performance was a mess, and he looks like a disheveled mess. After his performance Joaquin even FELL off the stage. (Video below) Embarrassing, but even more so of a concern for his health. His brother died from drugs, and Joaquin looks like he could be indulging himself as well.

Go to rehab Joaquin before you end up DEAD!

Joaquin Phoenix said recently he was quitting acting to pursue a career in making music. Then came the rumors he might be using drugs, and could end up like his brother who overdosed.

Joaquin is not looking good in these New Year’s eve pictures with Diddy and friends. Someone needs an intervention.
