Gwyneth Paltrow offers up advice for Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix was on his way to becoming a serious and highly respected actor when he pulled an about-face and quit acting to focus on a new career path: music. Specifically, rap. So far, his performances have been mediocre at best, leaving many questioning his artistic sincerity, not to mention his sanity.

Ben Stiller brought the laughs at the Oscars

The best part of last night's Oscars, in my humble opinion, was when Ben Stiller and Natalie Portman donned the stage to present the award for Best Cinematography.

Three guesses who Ben was mocking. One...two...

THREE.

Joaquin Phoenix, actor rapper

Joaquin Phoenix said "Bye! Good" to acting late last year so he could focus on making music, and even though it seemed kind of spur-of-the-moment, there had been talk of his interest in music before. Based on his Golden Globe-winning performance as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, it seemed like a music career for Joaquin wasn't all that far-fetched.
