Joaquin Phoenix will probably wake up one day with a monster hangover and realize that he threw away his acting career and became a rapper. Ouch - that one's gonna hurt. It's almost as embarrassing as stripping at the company Christmas party.

At an event a few months ago, Phoenix slurred his plans to retire to an unsuspecting reporter. Phoenix got pissed because he apparently expected more of a reaction, but the stunned reporter apparently couldn't tell whether or not the actor was serious. At the premiere of Che, Phoenix decided to let everyone know via the words "bye" and "good" which were written across his knuckles. Many of us would have burst into tears at the thought of Joaquin Phoenix leaving the film industry - if he'd had put the words in the  correct order.

Now, Phoenix is embarking on a rap career, and his struggle to achieve rap superstardom will be recorded for a documentary directed by Casey Affleck. We're assuming this documentary will be a comedy?
