I'm not sure what Joaquin was doing but I don't think he was totally incoherent (at least unwillingly). There were times when he fell out of character and you could see he knew exactly what was going on and what he was saying and doing.

Ms Fawcett appeared on Mr Letterman's show like 10 years ago and gave a famously incoherent interview. At one point, she looked behind her, saw the painting of the NY skyline on Dave's set, and went, "wow" as if it were real. Here's part one It sort of set the standard for crazy interviews

Oh thanks, Tish. That Nastassja interview was even weirder than last night's. Yikes. If Joaquin is as shy as some say and suffers from terrible stage fright, why would he accept an invite onto this show? I didn't get the feeling at all that it was a put on. I think it was all too real.

There were a couple of times he was trying his best not to laugh. I think it was an act.

I imagine he was obligated to make certain appearances in support of the film, and this was one of them.

I don't know how he acts normally but he didn't look good in that interview. He really should not have done that interview if it was supposed to be really him doing the interview. He seemed miserable.

one thing is for sure Dave was pissed. I dont think Dave being pissed was an act. Either he knew he was acting weird on purpose and was irritated by it or Dave was pissed he came high to the show.

Joaquin On Extra Interview These guys seem like they are working a bit to me. I don't normally watch Letterman, but I have the feeling that Dave has seen it all. He might even secretly welcome someone being weird instead of plugging the usual Hollywood films. And, Joaquin--well, everyone knows at this point that Letterman can be a harsh interviewer, so maybe Joaquin was even sorta hoping that Dave would open a can of whup-ass on him.

I sent a note to a friend of mine who has a pretty "high" job at Letterman today, asking if it was a put-on or real, and I got ... no response. LOLOL

What I wonder, is if the interview was SUCH a flop, why did he let JP come back after the commercial? Why didn't they do a stupid audience feature, or extend the second guest's appearance, and get JP out of there?

Good question. If this WAS just a put-on, then I have to wonder why JP would ever begin to think that this "persona" he's created is in any way, shape or form interesting, amusing or attractive. Grow up! how old is he anyway?

Kevin Costner and his wife, Christine Baumgartner, welcomed a baby boy on Thursday night in Los Angeles, the Dances with Wolves Oscar winner's publicist, Arnold Robinson, has announced. Hayes Logan Costner weighed 8 lbs., 15 oz., upon arrival, reports MSNBC. Costner recently told the Associated Press that the name Hayes was "a cowboy character" in a Western movie he soon plans to make, and that it is "a great Western name." Costner, 54, and Christine, 34, announced her pregnancy in November. They were married in 2004. The couple's first son, Cayden Wyatt, was born in May 2007. Costner also has three children from a first marriage, to Cindy Silva.

Mamie, I find Hayes as a first name kinda dopey. IMHO Logan Hayes Costner sounds better.

re the JP interview - sad and worrying imo, don't think it was drugs or an act. if I were 12, I'm sure I would have been rotf...but I generally agree with Gracie, and these two comments from HuffPo Wow. As a fellow Midwesterner, I"ve always been keen on Letterman. But Dave, Paul Shaffer and the audience were just plain disrespectful of Phoenix in this clip. Phoenix actually held it together pretty well considering Dave"s repeated insults [...] From the beginning of the interview, Phoenix took deep sighs. He seemed disturbed that he was so ill-judged. Given Letterman"s alternation between all-out taunting barbs and feigned compliments, it would be difficult for anyone to establish a consistent tone in response. I think that Phoenix"s terse responses were likely a defensive maneuver, stuck in an interview that was negative from the get-go. Letterman"s flip-flopping of tone was disconcerting. Prompting Phoenix to discuss his music, Letterman asked: "When will we see the new hip-hop career take off? Because we want to be there." As Phoenix warmed to Letterman"s interest and responded: "I"d love to come on the show and perform," Letterman managed to reel off a new insult: "You know, that seems unlikely." And sarcastically added: "We"ll certainly keep you in our rolodex." Letterman was disingenous, and I was happy to see Phoenix remove his gum and stick it beneath Letterman"s desk. It was wonderfully passive-aggressive, in that he was actually doing exactly what Letterman had suggested was appropriate. And how odd to see Letterman scold Phoenix with Emily Post propriety when Letterman himself was in the midst of conducting a rude, antagonistic interview. Letterman merits more than a "tsk tsk" for his behavior. And I"m disappointed about the spin CBS is putting on this clip: "He"s in the chair, but is Joaquin Phoenix present for his interview?" I would say: Phoenix is unfortunately all too present and received Letterman"s barbs with marked composure. I"m even more surprised that HuffPost is following CBS"s questionable lead.

I still think there's a lot of mental issues going on with Joaquin. Being sarcastic and rude is David's style. I mean look at how he's dealt with other people.

I only saw what was shown on The View. Didn't see this part. I was happy to see Phoenix remove his gum and stick it beneath Letterman"s desk. I LOVE IT!

I didn't see Letterman and JP on TV, just on Youtube. If JP (or anyone) comes out looking and acting that different from his last time with Dave or recent public appearances (?), well.... It's not going to be an interview as usual without any explanation. Did JP explain?

Have We Been Punk'd by Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck? www.cinematical.com I'm all for people looking to expand their creative horizons, but I know -- like most of you -- that when news first hit that Joaquin Phoenix was retiring from acting to focus on a hip-hop career, my first reaction was: Are you kidding me? Well, it looks like there's a very good possibility that's exactly what the celebrated actor is trying to do. Over at EW, a source is reporting that Casey Affleck and Phoenix are the orchestrators of a massive hoax. According to EW, Phoenix told the unnamed source, "It's a put-on. I'm going to pretend to have a meltdown and change careers, and Casey is going to film it." EW wasn't the first to cry 'bull' at Phoenix's antics; Defamer had gotten in early on the act, and when video footage surfaced of Phoenix falling off stage and slurring his way through a rap tune in Vegas, it convinced a lot of people that his new "career change" was nothing but a big joke or gimmick ... or next year's most talked-about secret Sundance film. To be fair, it's not like this was the first time Phoenix had behaved a little strangely, so once The Hollywood Reporter announced that Affleck would be making a documentary chronicling his brother in law's music career, it gave the news a bit more weight. Meanwhile, reps for both Phoenix and Sean 'Diddy' Combs (who was apparently going to produce Phoenix's album) have declined to comment on EW's story. But now everyone is getting in on the fun, and there is a fake MySpace page with 'demos' and the competition is heating up to see who can solve the mystery first. But for those of us who still might be worried that Phoenix has lost it, you might feel better knowing EW's source was also quoted as saying "It's an art project for him. He's going full out. He probably has told his reps that he's quit acting. Joaquin is very smart. This is very conscious. He has a huge degree of control." Personally, if this ridiculousness is in the service of a mockumentary about celebrity freak-outs, I am all for it -- but nothing stays secret on the Internet for long, and if this is a hoax, it's kind of a shame that everyone is trying to ruin their fun (including, ahem, us). So it's time to place your bets, folks -- is this all some Sacha Baron Cohen-style hoax? Or have we all just received front row seats to watch Phoenix torpedo his career?
