Joaquin Attacks Heckling Fan at Rap Performance

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Joaquin Phoenix and his now-infamous beard performed at the LIV club at Fontainebleau in Miami last night. Joaquin made his fans wait almost four hours before appearing on stage smoking a cigarette. He began mumbling lyrics unintelligibly, then when someone in the audience apparently heckled him, he jumped into the crowd toward the fan while cursing. When things started to get violent, Joaquin was dragged back on stage by security. As usual, Casey Affleck was there recording the entire event. Most of you think his rap career is a hoax, but this incident leaves us even more confused. Check out the video below.

Do You Think Joaquin's Rap Career Is a Hoax?

PopSugar — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 08:01:16 -0800

After Ben Stiller's hilarious impersonation of Joaquin Phoenix at the Oscars last weekend, the debate about Joaquin's rap career is continuing to heat up. Sources close to Joaquin claim that the whole thing is part of a project he's working on about the importance of appearances in Hollywood and that he's happy that Ben and other actors are giving him attention. On the other hand, many are speculating that Joaquin is mentally ill, though his rep has deemed those rumors to be inappropriate. Only time will tell whether or not Joaquin is just playing a trick on us but tell us - do you think his rap career is a hoax?

Joaquin Phoenix Is Still on Manjoyment Break

PopSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:00:51 -0800

Joaquin Phoenix continued to own his new scruffy look with his ripped pants and cigarette hanging out of his mouth on a shopping trip with a female friend in LA yesterday. After his bizarre appearance on Letterman last week, the actor left us all wondering whether or not his new rap career is really just one big joke. If Joaquin is just trying to pull a fast one on all of us, he sure seems committed to keeping us guessing for as long as possible.

Joaquin and Gwyneth Premiere Lovers After Disastrous Letterman Interview

Molly — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 05:00:00 -0800

Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix posed together on the red carpet at a Ferragamo and Cinema Society hosted screening of their new movie Two Lovers in NYC last night. Gwyn had on another daring outfit while Hilary Duff was happy to be there. Joaquin managed to suit up for the cameras including that of Casey Affleck who is still documenting Joaquin's recent career change from acting to rapping. Earlier in the evening Joaquin stopped by Letterman, though he wasn't much up for chatting. You have to see it to believe it - video after the jump - Joaquin barely answered anything Dave asked which left the talk show host in an awkward position. At one point Phoenix put his gum on the underside of Dave's desk. Joaquin has made it clear he's not messing around with his new rap career, though he might want to think about his interview strategy if he wants to be taken seriously.

Casey and Joaquin Take Flight to Continue the Journey

Molly — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Casey Affleck followed his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix through security at LAX yesterday on their way to the next stop on their bizarre tour. Joaquin's final movie Two Lovers opens this weekend and he has been adamant that his transition from acting to rapping is serious - not a hoax. In fact, he affirms he has no intention to change his mind saying, "I'm not one of those people, like, when I break up with my girlfriend, I don't ever see her again. I see her as friends, but do I ever think about getting back together? No, when I do something, I do it. So I have no intention." Joaquin's first performance as a rapper didn't earn too many fans, but it sounds like he's passionate about the "storytelling" so perhaps some practice is all he needs.

Miami Beach Heats Up With a Star-Studded Bash

PopSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 10:30:25 -0800

A bunch of stars proved that there's no reason to wait for New Year's Eve to get the party started in Miami last night. Casey Affleck joked around with his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix, who apparently sees no reason to shave now that he's retired from the film industry. Diddy and Jamie Foxx were also on hand to join in the fun, while January Jones kept it a little more low-key cozying up her boyfriend. Many of the big holidays may have come and gone, but there are plenty more good times to be had as we all gear up to say goodbye to 2008.
