So Joaquin Phoenix was absolutely serious when he wrote out ?Bye Good? on his knuckles and stumbled down the red carpet for what will be his last film, Two Lovers. Joaquin is quitting the business - no more acting, no more Oscar nominations, no more having to work with Gwyneth Paltrow. But he still wants to be in front of the camera for some reason - as the subject of a documentary, filmed by his long-time friend Casey Affleck.
Casey Affleck will get behind a camera lens to track the musical career of fellow actor Joaquin Phoenix, who portrayed Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line.”
Affleck is directing a documentary feature on his friend and brother-in-law Phoenix, who in the fall announced his retirement from the thespian business in order to focus on a music career.
Phoenix is embarking on a new path as a rapper, with an album to be produced by Sean Combs. He is scheduled to make his first public performance Friday at a Las Vegas club, which will officially kick off Affleck’s shoot.
Affleck is known for his work in front of the camera with movies like “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” and the “Ocean’s Eleven” series. He directed a series of shorts for Sundance Channel in the late 1990s. He is married to Summer Phoenix, sister of his new film subject.

Oh, God. A rap career? Produced by Puffy? How in God?s name did this happen? Joaquin has two (deserved) Oscar nominations, one for Best Supporting Actor for playing the corrupt and morally bankrupt emperor in Gladiator. The second nomination was for his amazing portrait of Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, for which Joaquin took musical and singing classes. In my mind, a career in some sort of western-pop-rock music wouldn?t be so far off base for Joaquin, but a rap career? Please no. However, I bet the documentary will be really juicy - and sad.

Ben Affleck's little brother Casey is going to follow River Phoenix's little brother Joaquin aka his brother-in-law around with a camera and document his musical career according to The Hollywood Reporter. Joaquin announced a few months ago he was retiring from acting to become a rapper, but I guess he just can't stay away from being in front of the camera.
But moving on to those picture of the two…is it just me or are they more like brothers than the two are/were with their own? They move in sync with each other.

Mark Ruffalo and maybe Amy Adams have dropped out of Greenburg, a film written, film and directed by Noah Baumbach set for release in 2010. Ben Stiller will replace Ruffalo. A search for Amy Adam’s replacement is underway. Us Magazine says:
It is unclear why Ruffalo — whose brother, Scott Ruffalo, passed away late Monday from a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head — backed out of the project.
I couldn’t figure out why Mark backed out either. Was it the money? Or was it the thing that Us mentioned in the middle of their report? Big mystery, people.

Prime suspect Shaha Mishaal Adham has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the death of Mark Ruffalo’s brother Scott. Attorney Ronald Richards gave the police evidence proving Adham didn’t shoot Scott. So how exactly did Scott die? He lost at a game of Russian Roulette.
“This was an accidental shooting by someone that plays with guns,” Richards said. He credited police with being “more than impartial with the facts.”
Pardon my insensitivity when I say, Scott Ruffalo was a gigantic retard. I didn’t even know people actually played this game. I thought Russian Roulette was a clever stereotype invented to make Russians look crazy. Turns out it’s very real and, now that I think more about it, I have to admit, a 1 out of 6 chance of death does sound very appealing. I mean, the converse is you have a 5 out of 6 chance of surviving. With those odds, how can you lose?!

If you haven’t heard, Mark Ruffalo’s 39-year-old brother, Scott, a hairstylist, was shot a week ago in the head in his own apartment in Beverley Hills. Police suspect Shaha Mishaal Adham was the assailant but have not discussed a motive.
The AP reported today that Scott died late Monday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA. Calls to Ruffalo’s publicist went unanswered.
Another suspect and friend of Adham, Brian Burton Scofield, was named a person of interest. Both Adham and Brian turned themselves in. Adham is being held on a murder warrant while Brian is being held on a misdemeanor traffic warrant.
