"I be stuck up in Folsom Prison...Fo' shizzle..."This has got to be one of the stranger pieces of news in the entertainment biz, at least to me. We all knew the Phoenix clan was a little off-center (it's hard to have those kinda first names and not wind up a little messed up), but...what...?!?
Apparently Mr. Walk-een intends to quit films and change careers. Mr. Joaquin is going to be DJ Wiggity-Wiggity-Joaquin.
Wow...
Ok...
The sad thing is that now, I'm going to feel like I need to take a shower every time I watch Walk The Line.
Let's hope that, in the end, for Mr. Phoenix, the title of a certain Johnny Cash album proves to be prophetic: The Man Comes Around.

You may already be aware but it's highly possible that Joaquin is pulling a big joke on everyone. Here is a post I made to an e-mail group I am in:
I already liked Joaquin before but what he is doing right now has skyrocketed him into Fave 5 category.
You are by now correctly guessing that I think his new bizarre persona is a big act for his personal "documentary" that is being filmed by Casey Affleck. I think he is pulling the wool over our eyes and I am going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
If you saw his recent Letterman interview then you know of which I speak. It was wild and wacky fun and Letterman was clearly in on the joke. It reminded me of the sort of crazy stuff Crispin Glover would do on the show in the 80s.
Only time will tell but I am eagerly anticipating the 2010 release of the film.
Yeah, I had heard the whole joke with Casey Affleck thing too. Especially if you hear about the specifics of the "rap" thing, it would only make sense.
