Joaquin Phoenix Gossip

Joaquin Phoenix is a nut job who has gone off the rails.

Justin-Bobby rails Audrina Patridge of MTV's The Hills.

The Oscar-nominated actor and motorcycling deadbeat may have little in common - except that Phoenix has decided to adopt J-Bobby's style of late!

When you are this cool, modern practices such as showering, speaking in complete sentences and taking sunglasses off indoors just aren't necessary.

What do you think? Are these two hipsters look-alikes? At least in the style they both have (for reasons unknown) adopted in the recent months?

Even Justin-Bobby can't help but stare at Joaquin.

Do you see a Justin-Bobby / Joaquin Phoenix resemblance?

Usher is a fan of saying, "I want to make love in this club." It's an uplifting and, at times, sexy message worth spreading to night spots everywhere.

Joaquin Phoenix's variation of that would be something along the lines of "I am going to f--king kick your a-- in this club, you f--king b----!"

A few weeks after his amazing interview on The Late Show, the odd actor-turned-rapper jumped off stage to attack a heckler at a performance in Miami.

The star took the stage at Fontainebleau around 2 a.m. with the unkempt beard he has been rocking of late. Joaquin Phoenix began rapping and nodding his head to a beat provided by the DJ when a man in the audience began mocking him.

That's when Joaquin abruptly lost his cool, calling out the man and cursing. "We have a f--king b---- in the audience," he said, continuing to bob his head. "I've got a million dollars in the bank. What have you got, b----?"

He dove into the audience and attempted to get in the face of his heckler, but security swarmed, restrained and eventually dragged him from the club.

All the while, his brother-in-law Casey Affleck - filming a documentary on Phoenix's life, possibly as part of an elaborate hoax - continued rolling tape.

There really isn't much to say about Joaquin Phoenix's visit to The Late Show last night, other than that he may want to stop hanging out with Snoop Dogg.

Bearded, spaced out and wearing sunglasses indoors, Phoenix may or may not have known where he was at that moment, uttering barely decipherable, monosyllabic answers about his film Two Lovers and career in general.

Things got so awkward that in order to break the ice, David Letterman posed this to the actor: "What can you tell us about your days with the Unibomber?"

It got worse. When the topic inevitably turned to his fledgling music career - for which he is supposedly giving up acting - Phoenix confirmed that hip-hop was his genre of choice, a revelation that sparked laughter from the audience.

"That's a joke?" he (slowly) snapped, clearly upset by the crowd reaction. "What do you have them on? What do you gas them up with? Is this nitrous?"

At the end of the interminable interview, Letterman summed it up as best he could: "Well, Joaquin, I'm sorry you couldn't be here tonight." See below ...
