i guess this is a case of planned insanity because i heard last year he was retiring from Hollywood and going into the music biz. Wow!

Woah. He's off the reservation.

left field man. that's one crazy family i guess. i wonder why changed his name from leaf...to joaquin? crazies.

He has always been eccentric but damn if he isn't a great actor. I hope he does whatever makes him happy.

He looks like a mix of the unibomber meets Grizzly Adams.

Sigh. I want clean cut Walk the Line Joaquin Phoenix back.

"wearing an ensemble presumably scrounged from the bottom of Oscar the Grouch's trash can"

BREAKING NEWS:
SAN DIEGO, CA: Oscar nominated actor turned rapper Joaquin Phoenix was seen wondering around the streets of San Diego drinking whole milk straight from the carton earlier this afternoon. Many pedestrians audibly questioned why Phoenix was wearing a toga from the movie "Gladiator" but the actor offered no insight. When asked directly for comment the star of such hits as "Walk The Line," "U-Turn" and "Space Camp" merely took a long swig of milk, stared directly at the sun for a few seconds and despondently replied "milk was a bad choice; it's SO hot out today." At that point Phoenix appeared to urinate on a mailbox as he attempted to freestyle rap the plot of the film "8MM."
Authorities are cautioning people to not ask Phoenix to rap or to perform any Johnny Cash covers, as that might only encourage him. However, Hollywood insiders are apparently currently in talks with Mr. Phoenix’s agent, Don King, trying to get Phoenix to perform the opening number at this years Oscar. Whether of not that happens remains to be seen, but either way TMZ.com is just pleased to have a new soul to harvest.
