Jan 29 2009Joaquin Phoenix serious about rap career, says rep
Despite reports that Joaquin Phoenix's rap career is an elaborate hoax for a documentary, his rep Susan Patricola sent the following statement to MTV News to set the record straight/basically admit her client is fucking batshit:
"The transition from one career to another is never seamless. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Joaquin came from a musical family, in addition to winning a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Johnny Cash," Patricola wrote in an e-mail. "He intends on exploring his musical interests despite speculative, negative or positive reactions."
Oh, Joaquin Phoenix won a Golden Globe for playing Johnny Cash. So by that logic, if Brad Pitt had won for Benjamin Button, he would've gained the creative license to age backwards. Jesus. Are you sure this was Joaquin's rep who wrote this and not the guy he shoots heroin with inside a teepee?

The movie he's making will be as funny as Tom Green.

He looks fat, but it's probably his unflattering outfit.

Reminds me of the time I was really wasted and I put sunglasses right above Samantha's clit.

You know who isn't serious about his rap career?
Us. All of the people of the earth.
21. ZOD - January 29, 2009 2:55 PM
Is it just me or does he not look like the Geico Caveman.

Why couldn't he have died, instead of Bernie Mac?
24. Bobo - January 29, 2009 3:32 PM
How can anyone get behind a rapper that wears cords onstage?? I mean, freakin' CORDS!
25. lattygirl - January 29, 2009 5:04 PM
I don't believe it for a second. This is right up there with Britney's 'no-really-i'm-a-virgin' and Michael Jackson's 'these-are-my-biological-kids'.
C'mon, Joaquin! Jokes up, be a good sport.
26. blahblahblah - January 29, 2009 5:21 PM
#24.
those arn't cords, douche. they are grey jeans.
but how can anyone take someone seriously when they have pubes on their face?
27. bop - January 29, 2009 5:40 PM
LOL. I thought he was sexy in Walk the Line, We Own the Night, and a few others, and a good actor. I think he has a drug problem.
Lol to the hole in his pants though.

Watch the interviews with him,..Before and after his "Yeah I'm going to be a musican now" deal. He's OBVIOUSLY acting. (too bad he's not a good enough actor to be remotely convincing. On the spot without 100 retakes, a script and a cue card girl standing there he's as bad as any d-rate soap opera actor.
His Career was going dormant so this is a publicity stunt, there will probably be some crappy TV show or web site that uses this as their "Wow, we punkd those reporters and the crowds they never saw it coming! Yeah we're underground! I'm Andy Kaufman!!" opening skit. (Looks like something stupid and poorly done enough to be on SuperDeluxe) to bad anyone with half a brain can see this is a bad spoof job.
Epic fail on their part.
Also all you fanboys, he was crap in walk the line, but Cash was suck a killer icon that you could make a movie about him with a chimp as the lead role and you'd win an award.
And the obligatory HARELIP!

Were it not for the coattails of his dearly departed brother (the talented one), this dork would consider himself lucky to have his cushy job unloading trucks on the Wal-Mart night shift.

OFCOURSE, grizzly adams was serious about the bears too, folks!!
32. irishslut - January 30, 2009 12:32 AM
I don't care what he does--I love him. And #25 don't forget about Paris' statement "I've only fucked a few guys" I would still let this guy go balls deep and swim in a pool of shit to toss his salad.
33. Minty - January 30, 2009 9:48 AM
lol @20
34. C Alan - January 30, 2009 11:34 AM
He has on 2 microphones, the one in his hand is obv going to the house system and the pack he's wearing on his hip going to a video rig... what an horrible documentary it will be.

The dude turned into a hare-lipped skeez.
Anybody who posts after me eats scab sandwiches with smegma mayonnaise.

Stop the madness Joaquin! I miss the days of Johnny Cash and Signs. He looked so dreamy in his tin foil hat :-(
38. River Phoenix - January 30, 2009 6:22 PM
I actually would like to see Joaquin do his Johnny Cash impersonation at concerts. That would be really cool.
