The Daily Hotness: Joaquin Phoenix

Like Scarlett Johansson, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton before him, Joaquin Phoenix is recording an album. The actor, who manages to make a cleft palate sexy, discovered he had a knack for singing after playing Johnny Cash in Walk The Line. He’s been workig on his record with Tim Burgess, frontman for the U.K. band the Charlatans. Buzz for Scarlett’s album is bad (Us Weekly called it a bust!), but we have a little more faith in Joaquin’s pipes. [Perez Hilton]
