Joaquin Phoenix: Would You Still Hit It?

Evil Beet GossipJanuary 25, 2013 //

Oh Joaquin Phoenix. How you’re still such an important part of my entertainment life. Even when you said “bye! Good” to us, I never stopped loving you. Even when you embarked on a drunken “rap career,” I maintained my adoration. Throughout everything—any by “everything,” I mean the “massive fleecing you put over on all of us boned us with“—I stood by you, because you’re one of my main men.

This new look, though. This baggedy, raggedy sheepdog look you’ve got going on, dude: it is not flattering. Can I take you for a walk somewhere real quick-like? Can we journey on a trip down memory lane? Because for real, this is how I love my Joaquin. Read more…

Quotable

“Paul called me Bubbles on the set. Bubbles was Michael Jackson’s pet monkey, and I was Paul’s pet monkey. The key to Freddie is an animal, just pure id. For the scene where he’s arrested and put in jail and all that, I just watched videos of wild animals that get into suburbia. If you’ve seen video of a deer or a bear that finds its way into suburbia and the cops have to tranquilize it, it seems as if the brain stops working. If they’re cornered, they’ll slam into walls, or one leg tries to go left while the other is going right. It’s complete fear and chaos. They can’t control themselves at all. That was the key to Freddie. And Paul certainly called me his pet monkey.”

I always knew a day would come when Joaquin Phoenix would decide to repossess the hot. At long last, that day has arrived… but where is Casey Affleck with the camcorder to document it?

Will Joaquin Phoenix Come Out Of Retirement For Scientology Movie?

PopEaterApril 17, 2011 //

What would it take for Joaquin Phoenix to come out of retirement?

Despite speculation earlier this year that Phoenix would resume his once-hot acting career with a film adaptation of ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ (the 2010 novel by Seth Grahame-Smith), the actor is now being linked to a much more controversial project.

And if there’s one thing Phoenix seems to relish, it’s controversy!

Phoenix — whose last film was the outrageous, head-scratching mockumentary ‘I’m Still Here’ — is now rumored to be reversing his retirement plans to co-star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s much-anticipated movie taking aim at Scientology. Read more… Keep reading »

Joaquin Phoenix Returns To Face Letterman

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 23, 2010 //


The last time Joaquin Phoenix appeared on David Letterman‘s show, he stunned the talk show host with his shaggy appearance and caustic behavior. It’s since been revealed that Phoenix came on the show “in character” for the movie “I’m Still Here,” his and Casey Affleck’s scripted pseudo-documentary about celebrity. Last night, he went back to Letterman’s stage to explain himself, confirm that Dave was not in on the, for lack of a better word, “hoax,” and to apologize and thank Letterman for giving him a proper “beatdown.” Clip above!

Joaquin Phoenix Channels His Inner “Mountaintop Raindrop,” Whatever That Means

Julie GersteinAugust 17, 2010 //


Oh Joaquin Phoenix. We loved you in “Walk the Line” and “Reservation Road.” And we’re even willing to let it slide that you were in all those crappy M. Night Shyamalan movies. But this current thing you’re doing — your fake-rapper fake-documentary”I’m Still Here” — is really bumming us out. It’s not that you made a pseudo-documentary that’s so depressing — it’s that it looks totally, ridiculously unfunny. And for that, we can’t forgive. Keep reading »

Joaquin Phoenix Reveals White Boy Dreads In “I’m Still Here” Poster

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 5, 2010 //

I still have no effing clue what the Joaquin Phoenix documentary, “I’m Still Here,” (directed by accused sexual harasser Casey Affleck) is about, but I can’t wait to see it and find out. If only so I can finally learn what his god-awful crazy homeless man makeover was all about. Will Joaquin show up to the premiere freshly shaved or “in character” (if indeed this was a character)? I’m confusing myself. Sorry. Keep reading »

Is The New Joaquin Phoenix Documentary Really A Mockumentary?

Ami AngelowiczMay 11, 2010 //

We’ve spent the last year trying to figure out if Joaquin Phoenix has really lost his marbles. Was the star really taking an acting hiatus to be a rapper? Was he really a superhero, or just on some heavy psycho-tropics? I was relieved when I found out that his shenanigans were all a part of a documentary project spearheaded by Casey Affleck. But a recent private screening of the film, “I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix,” only made us more confused. Isn’t this thing too shockingly vulgar and debaucherous to be real?

Mystery Solved: Joaquin Phoenix Is Really A Superhero

Ami AngelowiczAugust 7, 2009 //

I must admit that I was a little bit devastated when former hottie, Joaquin Phoenix, took a trip to the dark side about six months ago. In his suitcase, he packed a beard, dark sunglasses, a rapping career, and a lot of controversy. The question that has been nagging at me ever since: Is he on vacation or moving there for good? Despite theories (I have my own, which I will share with you shortly) that he may be making this particular trip due to mental illness or as a publicity stunt for a documentary with pal Casey Affleck, it looks like he may be extending his stay. How do we know? He forgot a few key items and made a special trip to pick them up at a clothing joint on Melrose called RED BALLS. Keep reading »
