Chanelling Howard Hughes

If it's an act, a la Andy Kaufman, then it's a beauty. If it's for real, then it's sad and creepy.

Joaquin Phoenix has been sporting a Jeremiah Johnson beard for a while now, declaring that he's quit acting to pursue a hip hop career (scroll down to see how that's coming along).

As far as I can tell, people on the net are split 50-50 as to whether Joaquin Phoenix has gone off the deep end or if it's a hoax. Letterman looks to be going with the latter and doesn't want to be the sucker. Then again, Letterman's always a jerk, so who knows? Maybe he thinks Phoenix has lost it and doesn't care one way or the other.



vs. 3 years ago:



Phoenix the hip hop "artist." Most of the comments are split as to whether he's nuts or kidding around. Your call:

I think it's all a hoax. I really hope I'm right. What a waste of talent if I'm wrong.
