Last night, a scrubby looking Joaquin Phoenix (who tried to clean up his image by wearing a suit) embarrassed himself on The Late Show with David Letterman in an attempt to carry on with his new whateverthehellhe’stryingtopull mockumentary art project thing as he promoted his new film Two Lovers. Phoenix was also on hand at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in NYC last night — along with co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, Broadway star Cheynne Jackson and others — for the film’s premiere. Monkey suit or no suit, he seriously looked like he stank:
I’m pretty sure that Joaquin‘s ridiculously tiresome behavior is being paraded around town to try and inspire people to take notice and mebbe check out this film. For me, the opposite is true. I am so unimpressed by this bullshizz he’s trying to pull … his interview with David Letterman last night only made him look like a complete asshole. Sooo not impressed. I know that I will take a pass on seeing this film … despite all the pretty people who came out in support of it last night. And for the record, the woman in the third photo is NOT Hilary Swank … she’s just a creepy twin named Vinessa Shaw. But anyways, back on topic, I’m not sure if Joaquin‘s antics are really resonating with anyone else but I’m not buying it. Andy Kaufman did it so much better … Joaquin, you are no Andy Kaufman.

Taylor Momsen is a bit creepy these days.
Vinessa Shaw was in Hocus Pocus if anybody remembers that movie.
Trent, don’t you think that Vinessa chick looks like Ali Larter with dark hair???
I don’t know if JP’s behavior is truly a pub stunt or he is suffering from mental illness,etc…he can’t be hated for wanting to be a hip hop star but I don’t think that is what is really going on here. I think he has serious issues and needs help FAST.
FYI Cheyenne Jackson was on last night’s Life On Mars as some 70′s glam rocker. He looked pretty hot (at least in the beginning which was the only part I saw after Lost last night).
Vinessa Shaw was also in the fabulous 90′s movie Ladybugs as a soccer playing hottie rich girl.
Brenda, I was just going to mention that she was in Ladybugs too! hahaha Love that movie…too bad the DVD has been discontinued!! I had such a crush on Jonathan Brandis back in the day.
what about beth stern?
she was there.
Whoa to the red hooker shoes! Perhaps a nod to The Wizard of Oz? “There’s no place like home(less), There’s no place like home(less)”
aw, y’all…I, too, LOVED Jonathan Brandis (RIP), which is why I know who Vinessa is…Ladybugs was such a fave of mine back in the day.
How good does Gwyn look?? DAMN, too bad the same can’t be said for J!
joaquin looks disgusting.
i agree with you trent. joaquin is super douche-y to me too.
Trent…who is the guy above Hillary Duff?? He is HOT!! OMG…seriously HOT!!!
@beautiful disaster — that would be Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson, here’s another hawt photo of the lad: http://pinkisthenewblog.com/ho.....d-a-bitch/
Phoenix’s appearance on Letterman was scary………while it was funny, I really think he is suffering from a mental illness……he needs help.
Saw him on Letterman last night. My roommates and I had no idea what was wrong with him. I was unsure if he was off his rocker, high or if he is just a dick. I had no idea he was promoting anything. Even if he was promoting something, I didn’t find it funny, simply rude and a waste of viewers and Letterman’s time and energy.
Well, say what you will about Joaquin, but Dave was a total ass in that segment. His questions were moronic (“How’s your beard?”), his comments were dead-ends (“I liked your movie”), and he otherwise just smugly sat there and subject his guest to cheap ridicule. It may be entertaining to watch Dave skewer inane celubtards from THE HILLS, but with a talented, painfully ill-at-ease actor he should conduct a more professional interview. Say what you will about stale comic Leno but he at least knows how to draw out painfully uncomfortable guests. I felt sorry for Phoenix. Dave gave him nothing and all he could do was sit there and squirm (and I imagine seethe) while the audience laughed at him.
Joaquin does not strike me as a dick..I think he is seriously ill these days. Probably his long Hollywood life, and even his brother’s death, has truly affected him. What would his hip hop name? JOA-Q? J Creepy? Somewhere, River is rolling over.
And yes, Troy, Dave is an ass. I hope they cancel him. Doesn’t anyone else think he gives the WORST interviews??? He’s also a slight homophobe, imo. Loser.
Well of course he’ll never be canceled, oops.
