"Joaquin Phoenix’s curious behaviour shifted up a gear in the early hours of this morning when he was dragged away by security guards after leaping from a nightclub stage to confront a heckler.
The 34-year-old, who recently announced he had given up acting to become a hip-hop artist, stopped rapping after a man in the audience of the Miami Beach club disturbed him.
"We have a f****** a******* in the audience", Phoenix announced.
“"I've got a million f***** dollars in my f***** bank account. What have you got?" he taunted before jumping from the Miami Beach stage and heading for the man.
The two were face-to-face when security guards caught up with Phoenix, dragging him on to the stage and then escorting him off through the wings.Phoenix, who has been nominated for two Oscars, kept the crowd waiting until 2am before he appeared. Many of his fans had been there since the doors to The Fontainebleau hotel's nightclub, Liv, opened at 10pm.
He walked on stage smoking a cigarette and sporting the dishevelled look that he has favoured since giving up acting".

Do you remember those remote times when Jake was vaguely linked to Mandy Moore? Yes, Jake has been linked to almost any Hollywood it hottie who happened to come across his way. Now Mandy has just married Ryan Adams in a small ceremony in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday, 10th March.Newlywed Mandy Moore is featured on the April 2009 cover of Marie Claire, on stands March 17. Interview highlights below:
On ex DJ AM: “Adams is like family. [If anything's wrong,] I’d go in a heartbeat.”
On fiance husband Ryan Adams: “He’s a good egg. I’m in awe of him: his brain, his passion. He’s truly one of a kind.” Instead, you see her mixing it up on the cred-conferring Entourage, holding her own opposite Diane Keaton in Because I Said So, and looking reasonably at home in edgy indies like Mandy Moore in "Southland Tales" (2006), directed by Richard Kelly.
Dedication, Southland Tales, and, most notably, as a wonderfully creepy queen bee in Saved! Not that any of it came easily. "I feel like I keep coming up against the same thing: They think I'm very cute and so sweet," Moore says, tucking her down parka around her lap like a blanket. "But that won't cut it anymore. I don't want to be a wallflower. I don't want to be shy. Give me the opportunity to get in the room and have a conversation as to why I know I can do this. It's OK that you see me as this person, but I'm an actress, and I'll work my ass off to play the part." And yet . . . "It has to be right," Moore quickly adds. "I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark? I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff."Source: www.marieclaire.com

Heath Ledger as another tragic clown in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ".
"The fantasy film, directed by TERRY GILLIAM, tells the story of a travelling theatre that lets the audience go through a magic mirror and explore their imaginations.
Heath plays an outsider called Tony who joins the troupe.
After his tragic death, pals JOHNNY DEPP, JUDE LAW, and COLIN FARRELL took over the character – playing Tony at different points in the film.
"On January 22, the deadline-skimming day I was scheduled to interview filmmaker Ang Lee for this page, I received an email from a friend informing me that the day also happened to mark the one-year anniversary of Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger’s untimely death. -Do you remember where you were when you got the news that Heath died?
-I was landing at the Tokyo airport when I got an email from James. Heath died during my flight. That’s always strange to think about.
-What is your favorite memory of him? -It also happens to be one of my favorite shots of my career: his “barfing” scene in Brokeback, when he was hitting the wall with his fists. We were on the third take, his fists were bleeding, he’d literally spilled all his guts, and something in the background struck me as being perfect. I think it was the clouds. I wanted to do another take, but Heath was totally exhausted. My producer said, “That’s bullshit. The actor has had enough.” But the clouds were perfect! We did another take, and after it was over, Heath said, “Wow. That felt good.” Source: 7x7.com
"Topics ranged from healthcare reform and the economic crisis to the commuter rail lines in Texas. Congressman Burgess also proposed tax cuts as a remedy for the nation's economic woes.
“We've seen this before, we saw it with Kennedy, we saw it with Reagan, we saw it with Bush in 2003”, said Burgess in the interview. “You want the economy to hum, you help the people who actually make it work in the first place. And that would be… the place I would start.”
When the subject of health care reform came up, the Congressman spoke about his views on what the American people were concerned with in regards to the implementation of universal health care.
“If Medicare is the model for reform aren't we obligated to get it right first before we expand it to other populations?” asked Burgess.
Burgess believes that instead of national health care that Congress ought to be focused on the affordability of private health care.
“Affordability is really the central issue when we talk about health care”, said Burgess.
Burgess believes the universal health care run by the government would result in millions of Americans losing their health care that he believes they prefer".
Homoerotic soft porn king Jake Gyllenhaal (Jarhead, Brokeback Mountain) was recently photographed on the set of The Prince of Persia looking vastly confused/perturbed. AND SHIRTLESS.Q: Why would Jake, an Oscar-nominated indie darling, schooled in the tradition of playing melancholy/mentally disturbed/or otherwise emotionally afflicted individuals who never smile and have a 50% chance of dying by the end of any one movie, sign on to a Jerry Bruckheimer-helmed blockbuster based on a video game and full of gratituous male half-nudity?
A: So the guy can't have LAYERS?! (See Bubble Boy.)
Q: What if the plot is too stupid?
A: Directly from IMDb, Jake will be playing, "an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing A SANDSTORM THAT COULD DESTROY THE WORLD." (Caps mine, to emphasize the ridiculousness of asking the above question.)
Q: What if Jake has to wax his chest?!!!
A: CLEARLY, as seen in the above photographs, Jake has retained his dusting of downy chestal hair. Our little man! All grown up!
And now that I have tackled these tough issues, I will address a few comments that I read on The Huffington Post:
Comment: I liked this guy a lot before I saw him without a shirt.
My response: No one would ever actually say this. Ever.
Comment: He is supposed to be Persian?? He must be one heck of an actor!! :)
My response: When you think about it, that doesn't even make sense.
Comment: [in response to above] Box Office - he's a name - duh.
My response: I don't mean this in a mean way, but Jake is not exactly an opening weekend kind of guy. In fact, he's never carried a blockbuster. In fact, he probably won't carry this one...but the SANDSTORM OF DOOM MIGHT.
Comment: WHERE are his NIPPLES??!!???
My response: N/A
Comment: Nothing against Jake, but he looks ridiculous. That greasy wig! He looks like a cheap gigolo.
My response: HAHAHAHAHA! That's hilarious. But seriously, shut up, bitch, that's totally his real hair".-by the sans pareil blogscribe Prophecy Girl. Source: blogs.myspace.com
