Report: The Phoenix opens up about rap career…

Joaquin speaks out to People magazine on the night of his gig at the Lavo about his future rap career. He admits that a lot of people will think this is a joke and a lot of people would think he sucks, but he doesn’t seem to care though. He’s serious about his rap career ’cause he’s grown bored of years and years of working on film, and he wants to do something fun for a change.

After his Lavo performance, he spent a lot of time meeting fans and taking pictures with them and stuff. I’m sure the fans that were there to see him, they were there because they are a big fan of his movies and hoping to get to meet him in person. They certainly weren’t there for his music. Joaquin wasn’t getting much of a crowd reaction with those videos.

More on it here:

That’s fine if Joaquin wants to get into a music career, he just doesn’t need to quit his movie career because of it. There are many actors and musicians that do both in between. Like Will Smith and Billy Bob Thornton for example. Other examples: Kevin Bacon, Scarlett Johansson, Madonna, Jack Black, Rob Zombie, etc. the list can go on. Those are people that do acting and music at the same time.

Phoenix shouldn’t have to give up movies ’cause he’s a really good actor and he threw that all away.

Cool Video: A few more Joaquin Phoenix performances at the LAVO from Perez Hilton’s site!!!

Perez Hilton, the gossip blogger, put up a few exclusive Joaquin Phoenix clips at the LAVO. The Phoenix really did perform a full rap performance.

Check ’em out here:

Notice the second video where the Phoenix falls, I wonder if he did that because he’s so drunk or stoned, you can tell he’s on something ’cause the way he walks and dances on that stage.

I too hope he doesn’t end up like his brother River.

I feel the documentary he’s making with Casey Affleck will be a box office smash, Joaquin is already doing a good job creating controversy on the web so his film and his rap album would probably do well.

I too hope that Joaquin is pranking us about retiring from film. Joaquin, the next Andy Kauffman and Sascha Baron Cohen?

Report: “Friday Night Lights” Season 3 premiere ratings are in and did okay!!!

Friday Night Lights Season 3 premiere did surprisingly well in it’s first episode. It went up a little bit, FNL was up at 4.6 million viewers but dropped down toward the end with 4.1 million viewers. Not so bad at all. Hopefully the ratings will go up a little higher as the Superbowl approaches.

See it here:

4.6 for FNL is not that great or excellent but it did okay in the ratings. As long as the ratings stay around there for the rest of the season, there maybe a hopeful Season 4. FNL is my favorite show on TV and it would be sad if it’s gone this soon, so I’m happy the show’s back for now. FNL is the best TV drama show since the “Wonder Years” with Fred Savage.

Joaquin Phoenix performing at the LAVO is at TMZ!!!!

LOL, TMZ has it up already, which I figure they would get it first…

See the video here:

If Joaquin is serious about becoming a rapper, he needs more lessons and coaching from other profesional rappers big time.

1) He needs to lose the beard, and get a gangsta image.

2) He needs to learn how to dance ’cause you can see that he’s clearly drunk as shit.

3) His rapping sucks and I think his rap career will fail.

In that song he’s rapping sounds like he’s bashing the Academy for not giving him an Oscar win as TMZ described.

The Phoenix was nominated for Gladiator which he never won and he was also nominated for his role as Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line” which he also never won.

Photos of Joaquin Phoenix at the LAVO nightclub from last night!!!

See this blog here who posted photos of Joaquin on stage at the LAVO from last night’s gig, yes, that’s really Joaquin Phoenix for reals!!

See them here:

Oh my, that’s Joaquin’s image as a rapper? A bushy bearded Allman Bros./Grateful Dead look?

That last pic of Joaquin with a blonde woman, I wonder if he’s dating that woman or she’s just some random fan just partying with him? Probably just a fan.

When the youtube videos of Joaquin at the LAVO start going up, I’ll post ’em, if anybody at the LAVO other than Casey Affleck videotaped him that is.

Report: Vince McMahon on a real life firing spree in WWE, longtime diva retires…

Yes, even the WWE is a victim of a bad economy. This forces Vince McMahon to go on a real life firing spree behind the scenes of wrestling. Everyone knows Vince’s famous TV catchphrase, “YYYOOOOUuuuuu’re FIIIIRREEEEeeedddddd”, he’s doing that in real life.

Vinnie Mac is firing some shockers including long time wrestling veterans, a Hall of Famer (Sgt. Slaughter), even to refs, WWE.com workers, and Vince’s real life limo drivers as well.

Also, a longtime WWE Diva who is pretty well known is retiring from WWE for real, she is done.

See the article below to see who they all are:

http://www.edmontonsun.com/Sports/OtherSports/2009/01/17/8055701-sun.html

Vinnie Mac returns to TV as a performer on RAW this coming Monday which is Martin Luther King Day. RAW will probably do some kind of Martin Luther King reference, of course, I’m sure a performer on RAW Monday will probably mention the Barack Obama inauguration too. This coming RAW on Monday will be a good one.

Friday Night Lights – Season 3 premiere thoughts…

Just got done watching the Friday Night Lights – Season 3 premiere. I’m so happy to see the show back. Just to give a quick brief review ’cause I don’t want to give out any story spoilers.

The show just got even better. 1st episode of Season 3 were better than the first two seasons. Acting of the cast has improved. Yep, the same actors in the same cast is back. Everybody is the same and has the same personalities except the girl who plays Tyra has a new hairdo and she looks a little older. Tim Riggins is still the same drunk who picks up a lot of girls. Coach Eric Taylor is no different either, the same old short tempered coach who does his best by keeping his team mates in good moods so they can win the football games. I’m glad the writers didn’t change the characters.

Hopefully the ratings will be good on the first episode. This weekend, I’ll keep an eye out for a ratings report to see how the first episode did. Hopefully Season 3 will be successful so there can be a Season 4. This show deserves to be on the air for a long time.

Report: Joaquin Phoenix to appear at the LAVO nightclub in Las Vegas tonight at 10:00 p.m.

According to reports about Joaquin Phoenix performing in Las Vegas tonight, I googled it and found out where he is appearing. He will be appearing at a nightclub called the LAVO in Las Vegas, start time is 10:00 p.m.

According to this calendar event, Phoenix won’t be performing music, he is just hosting. Maybe Phoenix will rap a little bit at this club just for fun but I think he’ll just speak through the mic. I see that at the LAVO it’s just a DJ night.

See the link here:

So if you live in Las Vegas or near it in Nevada, stop by the LAVO for a meet and greet with Joaquin.
