Jessica Alba Takes on a New Racy Role
November 11th, 2009 / Author: Brittany TalaricoIs Joaquin Walking the Insanity Line?
February 27th, 2009
Joaquin Phoenix has displayed some odd behavior lately–but is it bordering on mentally ill?
According to a Chicago-based psychiatrist who has not treated the star, the answer is yes.
According to E! News, Dr. Paul Dobransky has never met the allegedly retired actor, but he tells the L.A. Times that Phoenix has displayed "socially inappropriate behavior" during his recent bizarre public appearances, including his now infamous stint on David Letterman.
"There is something wrong," Dobransky says. "And it’s beyond drug use."
Now Phoenix’s rep is lashing out with fighting words. "How absolutely inappropriate for a doctor who has no personal interaction or relationship with someone to diagnose them," publicist Susan Patricola says. "Hope they spelled his name right! Another 15-minute expert is born! Astonishingly inappropriate!"
Dobransky is a noted pop psychologist and author of such books as The Power of Female Friendship and The Secret Psychology of How We Fall In Love.
He defended Phoenix to the L.A. Times, admitting that he found Ben Stiller’s parody of the actor at the Oscars undeserving. "I was pretty offended by that skit at the Oscars," Dobransky said. "It struck me as potentially beating down on the mentally ill. The jury is not exactly in on what is happening. "Whatever it is, it’s not funny—whether it’s drug abuse, mental illness coming on or the clumsiest attempt ever at a career change."
Of course, Dobransky fails to acknowledge the whole thing may be a put on. Phoenix’s purported career change, from Oscar-nominated actor to awful hip-hopster, is being chronicled by a camera crew helmed by brother-in-law Casey Affleck for what many consider a Borat-style production.
Is Joaquin Faking a Meltdown?
January 28th, 2009
Those in the audience on the night Joaquin Phoenix debuted his shuffling, incoherent rap act, which culminated in the recently retired actor falling off the stage, might not be surprised to hear that the Walk the Line star is just trying to pull a fast one on Hollywood.
Sources tell Entertainment Weekly that Joaquin, who announced in October that he was not going to act anymore, is playing us all. "He said, ‘It’s a put-on. I’m going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it,’" says one source close to the actor.
Casey Affleck, Joaquin’s brother-in-law and pal, has been with the bearded wonder during most of his public shows of wackiness, filming it all for a supposed documentary about Joaquin’s career transition.
"It’s an art project for him," a source tells EW of Joaquin. "He’s going full out. He probably has told his reps that he’s quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control."

Who could be in a better position to understand <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/joaquin" target="_blank"><strong>Joaquin Phoenix</strong></a> than <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/casey" target="_blank"><strong>Casey Affleck</strong></a>? They’re both the younger brothers of superstars — Casey’s big bro <a href="http://okmagazine.com/search/affleck" target="_blank"><strong>Ben Affleck</strong></a> and Joaquin’s revered late sibling River Phoenix — who have managed to step out of the shadows and earn accolades of their own.
And what better way for Casey to begin his new career as a director than to make a documentary about Joaquin, who recently retired from acting (or so he says) to focus on making music?
So that was the scene on Friday night at club LAVO inside The Palazzo in Las Vegas, where a barely recognizable Joaquin, who surprised many with his singing chops when he portrayed Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, stepped on stage before a curious crowd and in front of Casey’s cameras.

Before the show, the Gladiator star enjoyed a specially prepared vegan meal in LAVO’s private dining room.

Later, after a bit of beer at the bar while listening to the sounds of DJ Five, Phoenix took to the stage for a brief three-song set during which he stopped only to light a cigarette and take a quick swig of a cold beverage.
After he finished performing, Joaquin accidentally tripped leaving the stage and slid down the banquette. According to witnesses, he celebrated by "dancing around and jumping up and down so hard his beanie flew off."
Joaquin Phoenix: Quitting Acting?
October 28th, 2008
In a bit of surprising news, Joaquin Phoenix, who turns 34 today, has announced that he’s leaving the acting business, most likely for good.
"I want to take this opportunity to give you the exclusive, that this will be my last performance as an actor," the Walk the Line star tells Extra’s Jerry Penacoli while being trailed by his own camera crew. "I’m not doing films anymore."
After being asked by Penacoli if he was serious, Joaquin affirmed his intention to quit acting, replying, "Yeah. I’m working on my music. I’m done. I’ve been through that."
Casey Affleck, who happened to be standing with Joaquin, also seemed convinced.
"I don’t think he’s kidding," he says. "He’s got music and stuff."
When Extra contacted the actor’s rep to receive clarifaction that he was indeed dropping out of movies, the response was, "That is what he told me."
Say it ain’t so, Joaquin!
No More “Ocean’s” Films
July 11th, 2008 / Author: OK! StaffLooks like 13 was an unlucky number for the series of hugely popular George Clooney and Brad Pitt-starring Ocean’s films, as co-star Don Cheadle tells OK! that there won’t be another sequel.
"No," said Don when asked about whether or not there’d be an Ocean’s 14. "Done. It’s a wrap."
This sad news brings to an end the series of films, which started with 2001’s Ocean’s 11 — a semi-remake of the Frank Sinatra-starring 1960 original —and has grossed over $1 billion worldwide. In addition to Cheadle, Pitt and Clooney, the Steven Soderbergh-directed films featured a veritable who’s-who of Hollywood stars, including Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Al Pacino, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner and several others.
And even though Don won’t be working with this cavalcade of stars in the near future, he’s very excited about his current projects — producing a TV version of his Oscar-winning 2004 movie Crash for cable network Starz, and an upcoming film in which he’ll portray jazz legend Miles Davis.

Oscar Countdown: Best Supporting Actor
February 19th, 2008 / Author: cwillett
The big day is just days away and while you finalize your picks, OK!’s here to handicap the Suppporting Actor race.
Best Supporting Actor
Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Pro: Casey’s the "It" boy of the moment with this being his breakout performance as a majorly creepy outlaw. He also earned raves for his role in Gone Baby Gone, which could be enough to persuade voters to check off his name. Plus, for sentimental value, big bro Ben won a decade ago for writing Good Will Hunting.
Con: If you’re really jonseing for an awesome villain, look to Javier Bardem.
Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Pro: Basically everything — the glowing reviews, the awards sweep, the hunky looks and, oh yeah, the acting chops.
Con: Um, nothing really. A backlash is possible, but unlikely.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Charlie Wilson’s War
Pro: He’s a recent champ (for Best Actor in Capote) and adored character actor who totally brought the funny in this political satire.
Con: There’s not enough love for him or the film — he’s Charlie’s only nomination. Plus, drama trumps comedy at the Oscars.
Hal Holbrook, Into the Wild
Pro: He’s an acting vet who just scored his first ever nomination (at 82, he’s the oldest nominee in Academy history) as an endearlingly sweet ol’ man who befriends Emile Hirsch’s character in the coming-of-age drama. The Academy loves their old folk and those "touching" performances. If there’s an upset, look to Hal.
Con: AMPAS wasn’t feeling the film at all (only two nods), overlooking Emile and director Sean Penn. Also, Hal is lacking in screen time if he wants to compete with the giant that is Javier.
Tom Wilkinson, Michael Clayton
Pro: Menacing and crazy, Tom brought the goods in this George Clooney-led crime thriller
Con: Clayton has three acting nods for three standout performances, and at this point, if they wanted the film to win a statuette, they’re more likely to vote for Tilda Swinton.
Prediction
Winner: Javier Bardem
Next in line: Hal Holbrook
George Clooney, Jennifer Garner Wow At National Board of Review Awards
January 24th, 2008
George Clooney, with girlfriend Sarah Larson in tow, yuks it up with everyone he can at the National Board of Review Awards, where he is being honored for best actor in Michael Clayton.
He grabs my arm and gives me a knowing wink. Where does he keep his awards? “I have a room,” he says. “I actually have a room. I have one [award].”
How does he feel about the acclaim for his role? “It’s definitely better than feeling terrible about it later,” self-deprecating George says.
What does co-star Tilda Swinton think of the couple? “I love Sarah,” she says. “She’s a beautiful girl, really beautiful. I never knew him before he was with her, but he seems pretty happy to me.”
Here’s the mesmerizing Jennifer Garner. When a Spanish TV presenter from Calle Que Calle asks Mrs. Affleck if he can kiss her hand, she obliges. As she lifts her blinged-out hand, Jennifer coos, “bless your heart.”
Hubby Ben, who wins best directorial debut for Gone Baby Gone, moves through separately. His best supporting actor brother Casey’s lips are sealed about his new baby.
Best actress winner Julie Christie isn’t sure if her jewels are Bvlgari – or if they’re even real — while Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones sail through.
Honoree Javier Bardem is thrilled to see his old buddy from Spain’s Calle Que Calle, who whips out a fake Oscar in case the prestigious awards show doesn’t happen due to the writers’ strike.
Denzel Washington, who accompanies his Great Debaters co-star Jurnee Smollett, says the cast “picked themselves. They stood out. It was a good feeling.”
Meanwhile, Emily Mortimer doesn’t feel badly about leaving her son Sam, 4, with their “fabulous” Serbian au pair. “He’s pleased when we go out because he gets to stay up late and have fun with her,” Mrs. Alessandro Nivola says.
Best director winner Tim Burton has a little one at home, too. How’s the month-old daughter he shares with Helena Bonham Carter? “Good, I think,” he tells me.
Speaking of family, here’s Glenn Close and her 20-year-old daughter Annie. Does she like coming to these events?
“It’s very good,” Annie laughs. “I’m blinded, but it’s great.”
Oh, and here’s Phil Donahue and wife Marlo Thomas. “Our film is titled Body of War,” he tells me. “It’ll be in a theater near you soon, and I hope you’ll come. I’ll park your car.”
What an offer!
