TV Buzz One year later, Joaquin goes back on The Late Show, this time to promote his hoax movie (that Dave was in on.) Pretty sure he's still on something, but the clean shave looks nice.

After more than a year of bizarre behavior and a practically unrecognizable look, Joaquin Phoenix's jig is up.
Culture Buzz One of my favorite celebrity stories of all time. Now animated. Joaquin Phoenix was in a car accident a few years ago in the Hollywood Hills. Werner Herzog happened to be the first person on the scene, and pulled him from the wreckage. Here, finally, is an animated version of the story, as narrated by Herzog himself. (Via First Look)
Celebrity Buzz Joaquin has cleaned up nicely since that whole “fake a rap career for a documentary” phase. (Out Friday!) Somehow I don't think it will hold.
Here is the teaser trailer for Casey Affleck's “documentary” about why Joaquin Phoenix acted like a psychodick all last year. Spoiler: it was because he's Zach Galifianakis' evil twin.
1st step in promoting a mockumentary about celebrity culture: Build up your hipster cred. 2nd step: Burn it to the ground.
This is an attempt four part a capella version of Joaquin Phoenix's rap song “Rise of the Phoenix.” It goes terribly wrong.
Good news: Joaquin Phoenix has shaved and is more or less sober (or has at least switched to uppers). Bad news: he's taking internet lessons from Miley Cyrus. And then sharing them with his ex Liv Tyler. This is so weird.
Billy Bob interviews Joaquin. Who can out weird who?
Joaquin Phoenix dragged away by security guards after he confronts audience member during hip-hop set. Somebody give the guy a hairbrush.
Celebrity Buzz Also known as: Quakin Phoenix, Wakem Phoenix, or the guy who made a hilarious ass of himself on David Letterman last night. The official spelling is J-O-A-Q-U-I-N, but it's not like J-money will be lucid enough to notice.

Defamer said it first, and now Entertainment Weekly's getting in on the action, speculating that Joaquin Phoenix's “retirement” from acting and new rap career are an “elaborate Andy Kaufman-style hoax.” Casey Affleck is supposedly documenting the transition in a new film, but the guy is Phoenix's friend and brother-in-law and could just be doing him a solid.
And then falls off the stage. So in total, not a great night for Joaquin's music career.
People seem to have a lot of feelings about Joaquin's new hair statement. To me they look like weird cuts in his scalp, so I'm hoping they don't catch on. It would make me queasy to sit next to that on the subway.

Summer Phoenix is Casey Afflecks wife and Joaquin Phoenix’s sister-in-law, and obviously an actress/model. I wonder if she’ll quit “acting” and become a singer too.
Celebrity Buzz Joaquin Phoenix just announced that he’s “not doing films anymore.” Apparently, he wants to focus more on his music. We think it’s suspect, especially since when he made the announcement, he was being followed by his own camera crews. “Joaquin In Real Life” reality TV show in the making, perhaps?
