THERE AIN’T NO HOAX, BITCHES: Apparently, Joaquin Phoenix has really given up acting to become a hip-hop musician. According to the Associated Press, Phoenix has been spending his time laying down tracks for a rap album in the recording studio he built at his home, the two-time Academy Award nominee said Tuesday in an interview to promote what he claims is his final movie, “Two Lovers.”
About the rumored “hoax”, Phoenix says, “I don’t know where that comes from. If it comes from people that I’ve had a falling out with, that are (ticked) off at me? There’s not a hoax. Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that’s possible, but that’s certainly not my intention.” So what do you think? Is Phoenix REALLY trying to be a rapper…or is there something more to this? Hmmm…

HEATH LEDGER’S LIFE INSURANCE CASE AS GOOD AS CLOSED: It has been reported today that an agreement has been reached in the dispute over Heath’s $10 million dollar life insurance policy. Apparently both parties are satisfied and next month a closed hearing will establish a court guardian to represent Miss Matilda Rose Ledger, who is the beneficiary. Previously Heath’s policy holder was waiting to find out whether Heath’s death was in fact accidental or a suicide. It seems now things are getting straightened out. Thank gawd.

FOX EXECS HAVE BIG FAT SMILES ON THEIR FACES: The second night of “American Idol” was not a force to be reckoned with as an estimated 30.5 million people tuned in. Nielsen Media Research said it’s the first time in five years that the audience increased from the first night to the second, a development Fox attributes to good word of mouth about the first night. (Bikini girl, anyone?) Many say that A.I. is losing its appeal…but haters can wallow in self pity…30 million viewers is NOTHING to be ashamed of.

TOM CALLS JETT’S DEATH “HORRIFIC”: On “The View” this morning Tom choked up for his Scientology buddy John Travolta and his son Jett’s tragic death telling the ladies, “John just adored him, both of his children… It’s something that I don’t have the words for.” In response to a question from Babwa Wah Wah, Cruise defended his cult-like religion, which he and the Travoltas follow, against rumors that have swirled since Jett Travolta died. “The church doesn’t discourage conventional medical care, Cruise declared – “actually, the exact opposite. They say, ‘Get your physical, get your medication, get your physical illnesses handled.’” You can watch Tommy on “The View” tomorrow.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE OUR FLAG: There’s nothing cooler than the unveiling of new stamps. Ok, so I probably can think of much cooler events, but damn it. These new stamps are freakin’ awesome.
According to the AP, folks who grew up as television came of age will delight in a 20-stamp set included in the Postal Service’s plans for 2009 recalling early memories of the medium. Shows featured on the stamp are “I Love Lucy,” “Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet,” “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “Ed Sullivan Show,” “George Burns & Gracie Allen Show,” “Hopalong Cassidy,” “The Honeymooners,” “Howdy Doody,” “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” “Lassie,” “The Lone Ranger,” “Perry Mason,” “Phil Silvers Show,” “Red Skeleton,” “Texaco Star Theater,” “Tonight Show” and “Twilight Zone.” Sounds pretty saweet. I want a Madge Vadge commemorative stamp. Don’t you?
