one wonders, though, especially in light of his brother's death: what is so avant garde or performance-arty about appearing to be stoned out of one's mind, or just socially inept, on a program when one is supposed to be promoting a film? whatever it was, i wouldn't feel punk'd. i'd just be sad that something so dreary had become "entertaining" to someone who "is very smart" and "has a huge degree of control."

That's kind of my thought too - if this is some sort of art project, the nature of it still suggests there's something very wrong with him. As I said, I'm very worried about him.

appearing to be stoned out of one's mind

That is not the way I saw it at all. Why do intelligent people suggest that he was on drugs instead of suggesting he was acting out a part? According to others who are following this and reporting, it looks more and more like he was just reacting consciously in kind to Letterman's act, and maybe using a "huge degree of control". Actors use gimmicks to get noticed all the time.

I didn't ever say he was stoned out of one's mind. My first description of it was that it was a hot mess. And I think that's most accurate. On the other hand, people have said that he either appears incoherent or stoned out of his mind, so I mentioned them both, rather than just the one I believe, in the sentence I wrote.

If Mr Phoenix believes this kind of dreary gimmick is worthwhile, I think it probably says more about him and the sorry state of the biz than anything else.

I added my two cents over in the N&Vs Celebrity thread--it's just that exciting.

I do think this is a J.D. Salinger/Holden Caulfield reaction JP is having to his world. I think he's trying to be authentic be being inauthentic, if that makes any sense.

Not sure if he's pulling it off, but I also think it says something about society that JP acting weird in an interview made front page news and entertainment news shows everywhere. I didn't think he was acting all that weird to begin with. I think we've gotten narrower in our definition of normal if everyone thinks this is the weirdest thing ever.

Why are there two threads, anyways? What's the difference?

No idea, just one of those duplicate things I guess. This thread gets more action for some reason.

There only used to be this one, then somebody was upset about Hollywood News being posted in N&V Breaking Headlines/Breaking Headlines Discussion threads, I think during the Anna Nicole Smith fiasco. So the Breaking Celeb Gossip, Rescues, & Tabloid Fodder thread was made in N&V.

I posted the article in both because there are those who post in here who do not go into N&V, but it also was being discussed in N&V.

This isn't just an isolated thing, he's been being overly weird (he's always been a little unusual) for a few months now, I guess this has just brought it to more people's attention. He was carrying on with this persona he's developing, and I'm sure Dave was aware he would do that... I'm not sure that's the issue though, the issue is whether this persona comes out of a sane artist's creativity or an artist who's on the edge of a breakdown's creativity. I really fear it's the latter.

If he did the Letterman show as a gimmick, and he really is fine, that is good, and I won't give it another thought or concern. I just don't find it entertaining and will exercise my right not to follow whatever story he is playing out.

It's sad if it's real. But, I find it hard to believe his brother in law would go along with this and not try to intervene and get him help. (As Britney's family). Instead, Casey is going along with it knowing full well this may ruin Joachin's career. I am agreeing now this is fishy.

I thought Mickey Rourke said he wouldn't bang her with someone else's gorilla.

On to other news:

I think that's only appropriate. I think Michelle should accept the oscar, if Heath wins. They seemed very much in love for a long time, plus she's an actress so she understands that part of it, and will always be connected to Heath through Matilda.
