Joaquin Phoenix told an elaborate story about yoga last night on the Late Show, wildly acting out a position called "harnessing the hog," which apparently involved his instructor cradling his man-bits with a strap. The punchline: They started dating and are now engaged.
Teens! Some of us hate them. Some of us love them. Some of us make love to them, because we are their co-counselors at Camp Lackawanna for Troubled Youths, celebrating a hard-won color war victory by the light of the curfew break moon. Or because we are the 39-year-old actor Joaquin Phoenix.
Here's the trailer for Spike Jonze's upcoming film Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Mr. Lonely Bones, Amy Adams as the perennial cute lady in his life, and Scarlett Johansson as a sexy set of sounds. Is it already making a commentary on modern love and instant gratification and the confluence of technology and…
If you ever wanted to watch Joaquin Phoenix fling himself from one side of a room to touch a wall and fling himself back to touch a window, describing how both feel in alternately concrete and abstract terms, over and over and over again, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master is the movie for you.
After being bumped around for a while due to script and budget issues, Paul Thomas Anderson's highly anticipated drama The Master — his first feature since 2007's There Will Be Blood — finally gets its first teaser trailer.
River Phoenix, the actor that your (much) older sister had a huge crush on in 1993 when he died of a drug-related heart attack, is going to be at the multiplex again next year. Yes, 18 years later, the director of his final movie is finally going to release it.
Though he once said he'd "quit acting," that was all a hoax, and Joaquin Phoenix really hasn't quit acting at all. Also today: the return of the return of musicals, Jessica Lange makes a TV project even more exciting, and Bradley Cooper is seriously miscast.
Yes, the melodrama comedian guy is going a very different route for his next movie. Also today: the mother of all apocalypse yarns is on its way to the big screen, while The Kennedys finds a home on the small.
Time has passed, but Joaquin is back in Dave's interview chair. The clean-shaven star tries to apologize and promote the film that used his last Letterman interview as its backbone, but Dave isn't one to forgive, not for free anyway.
Well, maybe. It seems there's a rumor afoot that the hoax-pulling actor is director Clint Eastwood's top pick to play J. Edgar Hoover's lover in his biopic about the top g-man, which will star DiCaprio. Intriguing! And also, vaguely, ew?
Casey Affleck, the director of I'm Still Here, the "documentary" about Joaquin Phoenix's descent into drug-fueled, hip-hop-wannabe madness, says it was all a "performance." Yes, everything—including the famous appearance on David Letterman—was faked for the movie.
This is just plain odd. Here's a clip from Joaquin Phoenix's I'm Still Here, featuring Phoenix visiting Sean "Diddy" Combs to discuss a record project. Friendly introductory chatter quickly turns to contentious, profanity-filled awkwardness as Combs lectures Phoenix about money.
Here's a trailer for the much head-scratched-about documentary, I'm Still Here, about Joaquin Phoenix's descent into (faux) madness, abandoning his movie career and embarking on a rap career. His brother-in-law Casey Affleck directs and, judging from this, it's dumb.
Casey Affleck's documentary about Joaquin Phoenix going crazy(er) and becoming a rapper is dropping in two months. Will I'm Not Here be the comedy many suspect it to be? Head to a theater near you to find out!

2009 had its fair share of things that didn't go exactly according to plan. F-bombs, dry-humping, real humping, and lots of unforeseen stupidity. Here are the 12 best things that weren't supposed to happen on TV, but luckily, they did.
