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.
