10.29.08 JOAQUIN PHOENIX TO FOCUS ON MUSIC - UPDATE!
Joaquin Phoenix recently attended a Paul Newman benefit, where he told Extra “This will be my last performance as an actor… I’m not doing films anymore.” It’s unclear which performance he meant. Maybe he was only acting like someone who cared about Paul Newman’s charities.
Extra further probed Joaquin. “Are you serious?” Phoenix, who was curiously being followed by his own camera crews, reiterated, “Yeah. I’m working on my music. I’m done. I’ve been through that.”
Actor Casey Affleck, present during the admission, tells Extra, “I don’t think he’s kidding. He’s got music and stuff.”
Today, “Extra” contacted Phoenix’s rep for clarification and got this response: “That is what he told me.” [Extra]
Being followed by camera crews, announcing his retirement after the death of a friend - I’m starting to think Joaquin Phoenix is the real-life Derek Zoolander. “That Joaquin Phoenix, so hot right now,” Skeet Ulrich whispers to Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas while the Phoenix theme music plays. Anyway, actors are idiots so it’s not surprising that he thinks he’s a musician because he played one once. Same thing happened to Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez. Hell, Gary Busey’s been trying to kill Mel Gibson since ‘87.
UPDATE: Now with video! After the jump, watch Joaquin slur through his announcement like he’s on painkillers and then abruptly walk out after accusing the reporter of laughing at him. Seems veeery fishy…

JOAQUIN PHOENIX TO FOCUS ON MUSIC - UPDATE!
J-Phoe gots ill mic skillz, son.
I think he’s joining the Wu-Tang Clan under the moniker “Ol’ Dirty Harelip”
Asking Casey Affleck for conformation, is like asking a blind man if your clothes match.
I hope he’s not the lead singer. Harelips make you flat.
When reached for comment, Jokequeen was quoted as saying, “I jusht love playing muzchick right now. I’m really shtarting dishcover myshelf through the shoundsh and harmoneesh of shong.”
Maybe now that he’ll be a rock star, he’ll finally OD like his brother did.
Keep an eye out for his debut album, Joaq Hard.
Paulie. That harelip line was masterful, sir.
Mr. Joshua will get him. Just you wait.
30 Odd Foot of Lisp.
Joaquin Phoenix had better listen to his pal, Billy Zane.
I was watchin Gladiator last night and getting tingly in my happy parts when Joaquin was getting all humpy with his sister.
Then my sister walked in, I looked at her, and threw up in my lap.
Can anybody tell me if Jodie Foster still thinks she’s a 12-year-old prostitute?
Why did I just watch a clip of Jimmy Kimmel with some old bird in a showgirl’s dress sitting on the floor? Well, the video actually worked for a change, I guess I shouldn’t complain.
His first album: Joaquin The Line.
I feel like Charlie Brown with all the holes in the sheet. While everybody else can see the video, all I got was Cloris Leachman squirming on Jimmy Kimmel’s couch.
Crappy - Baracuda is a whore. I sent you another message to your junk addy.
Mark Wahlberg is also quitting acting to dedicate himself full time to looking like he’s concentrating really hard on not busting rhymes at people.
Phoenix will team up with Run DMC for the smash hit Joaq This Way.
J-Phoe hates the part in “Walk Like an Egyptian” where they start whistling.
Joaquin’s favorite instrument? Guitar. But, he can almost play the drums on medium now.

Sorry, it’s the right one now.
Jockqueen looks a lot like Cloris Leachman in that video, then again I’m getting up there in years and the old eyesight ain’t what she used to be-yesterday I saw a picture of a guy running for president and thought he was a negro.
holes int he sheet? What are you, an Orthodox Jew?
Listen to his first hit single: These Boots Are Made For Joaquin.
Did anyone else see a Dancing with the Stars video there?
