It was October 2008 when Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from acting, but it wasn't until September 2010 that we finally learned the method to his madness.

After Phoenix followed-up his initial statement with a decision to try his hand at a career as a rap musician, many of us were left scratching our heads. The plot thickened when we learned that Phoenix's newfound bushy beard and standoffish demeanor were part of a documentary he was making with his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck. The media immediately cried hoax, but Affleck and Phoenix adamantly denied the allegations and continued to film Phoenix's downward spiral, which included awkward live rapping performances and one of the most uncomfortable interviews David Letterman has ever had.

Kellan Lutz joined Jenna Dewan and Kelly Osbourne in LA on Saturday to support PETA at their 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards, which was hosted by 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin. Alec was hilarious in the season premiere of his series last week with funny costar Matt Damon, and he kept his star-studded crowd, which also included I'm Still Here pranksters Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix, laughing throughout the night. Lea Michele and Kellan were among the evening's honorees.

Kellan, though, got a head start on his weekend by going out for a jog near Runyon Canyon on Friday. He stuck with his animal loving theme by bringing along his buddy Kola. Kellan kept his sexy Calvins under wraps but fortunately showed off his toned triceps. He's back in California after a trip to Washington DC, where he volunteered at an event celebrating great communities for young people. The actor has a little more downtime to chill near home and with his girlfriend, AnnaLynne McCord, before starting work on Breaking Dawn soon.

We can finally lay the great cinematic mystery of 2010 to bed: Casey Affleck's documentary I'm Still Here, which follows Joaquin Phoenix's attempt to enter hip-hop, is indeed a fake. The director confirmed everyone's suspicions in an interview this morning. While I always had a good degree of skepticism about the truthfulness of the film, the announcement still frustrates me. The charade feels like an insider joke that, frankly, I just don't get.
