JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS HIGH, DRUNK

I guess it’s a big deal that Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from acting last Friday to focus on music, and today the New York Post says his behavior has become increasingly erratic lately and drugs may be to be to blame, but I don’t really like this dude so I don’t actually care.

FRIENDS of Joaquin Phoenix are worried about the star, who has had a very public battle with drink and drugs. The two-time Oscar nominee showed up to a tribute to Paul Newman last week in San Francisco and "was out of it," said one attendee. Other actors were performing scenes and readings, but Phoenix just got up and walked out. "He wobbled back in a bit later, but it was odd," said our source. "He was slurring his words and was unsteady on his feet." Phoenix gave a weird interview to "Extra" in which he said he was retiring from acting. A rep for Phoenix said, "He's fine. He just wants to focus on music."

Joaquin is a good actor but so what.  Half the country could do what actors do, so I don't really care if some billionaire pothead kills himself.  "Ohh, look at me, I'm Joaquin, I'm unkempt and I have a guitar and I drink this herbal tea from South America that an Indian stirred with his dick and it gives me special insights into nature."  Go fuck yourself hippy.
