Joaquin Phoenix Dropping Out of Acting Game
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Romance, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, New Releases
UPDATE: Several sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Joaquin Phoenix, who appeared in Signs and Ladder 49, among other films, is going to stop being an actor.
The brother to River Phoenix made the shocking announcement to the press Tuesday while promoting his new film Two Lovers. In the film, Phoenix, 34, plays opposite actress Gwyneth Paltrow. “I’m not doing films anymore,” he told Extra during an interview. “This will be my last performance as an actor.”
This is either a very surprising development in a highly celebrated film career, or one helluva way to promote a flick. Without going into detail, Phoenix said he will now be devoting his time to music. In what capacity remains unclear.
Phoenix has been nominated for the Academy Award twice, once for the leading role in Walk the Line and once for his supporting role in Gladiator.

Entourage’s Kevin Dillon To Star in ‘300’ Spoof
Call it a humorous example of life imitating art. HBO star Kevin Dillon has just landed a big screen role in National Lampoon’s 301: The Legend of Awesomest Maximus Wallace Leonidas. The comedy will spoof a myriad of testosterone-laden movies including 300, Troy, Braveheart and Gladiator.
Fans of Entourage know that Dillon’s character (struggling actor Johnny Chase) rose to fame in the short-lived series, ‘Viking Quest’. (The tagline for the fake series being: “From the past… comes a warrior of the future.”) Now in 301, Dillon will get to add his special twist to the Spartan general role.
I’m really hoping the producers of Entourage can somehow find a way to tie in Dillon’s real life role into their show. The fans of Viking Quest would want them to do it for Johnny.
