Good morning! There's a new man in Miley's life, and he's a lot older than her Aussie beau Liam Hemsworth—after working for charity TWLOHA together, Miley and Joaquin Phoenix have allegedly struck up an odd friendship. Does this mean she'll make a cameo on his "brilliant album of great music"? It makes as much sense as her collaborating with Timbaland on Shock Value II. Plus Joaquin and Miley could cover a Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash classic. Perfect!

:: Drake (who was once rumored to have hooked up with Rihanna) performs on-stage with Chris Brown. If there was any tension between these two over RiRi, bygones are apparently bygones. [Neon Limelight]

Miley Cyrus Finds Joaquin Phoenix, Amelia Earhart Next
Fri Jan 22 2010 by Becky Bain
Why can't Miley Cyrus touch a computer without triggering bizarre events? While helping promote suicide prevention organization To Write Love On Her Arms, she somehow managed to unearth a seemingly sober, clean shaven Joaquin Phoenix in order to each him how to use the Internet. Really. Be prepared to watch the weirdest clip you'll see today, which still is nowhere near as odd as some extremely bold statements made about Joaquin's musical abilities:

Joaquin Phoenix Gets Ready To Mediate
Fri Jan 23 2009 by Maura
So, the “Joaquin Phoenix rap career” experiment/celebrity press fake-out has now reached the point where the “actor to rapper following a dream” has his own MySpace page, complete with streaming jams and a concert listing for a solstice party on March 21*. There are three songs: “Pacific Dream” collects all the words that rhyme with “mediate,” yet were left out of INXS’ coda to “Need You Tonight,” over a grimy guitar-and-chimes sample; “Palisade Nights” has a similarly dark feel, with lyrics that sound like they were culled from spam and news-alert subject lines (there’s also a reference to “frozen menstruation” in there); and “Everyday” has Phoenix’s flow getting kind of rapidfire over a LeStereo-produced, K Records-inspired musical bed. Phoenix also took some time out to type up a quickie blog post (”Current mood: fermented”) regarding his fall from a Las Vegas stage last weekend:
Joaquin Phoenix: Just Who Is The Joke On At This Point, Anyway?
Mon Jan 19 2009 by Maura
When reading about Joaquin Phoenix’s defection from the acting world into the hip-hop realm, I often wonder to myself, “Is this all part of some elaborate joke, in which Mr. Phoenix decides to turn the tables on the press, the public, and the very notion of ‘celebrity’? And if so, is the Casey Affleck-directed documentary that’s apparently capturing all his performances for posterity going to be some sort of ‘fame and its ills’ companion piece to To Die For?” The above clip, of Phoenix falling off a teeny tiny stage while performing in Las Vegas over the weekend, may in fact be an attempt to make Affleck’s mockumentary go viral, or it just may be a PSA against the dangers of too-small stages at venues that seem like everything wrong with this decade. Whatever its intent, the viewing experience wouldn’t be complete without also getting a glimpse at Phoenix’s attempt at rapping, which I’ve placed after the cut.
Joaquin Phoenix Follows His Inner Dogstar
Thu Oct 30 2008 by Lucas Jensen
In a rather awkward exchange with E! Online, Joaquin Phoenix announced his decision to pack up his acting and head back to his new first true love, music. You know, the music that he’s loved to play ever since he learned how to strum the guitar for Walk the Line three years ago. It’s a hallowed path that young Phoenix takes, one blazed by the likes of Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, and Keanu Reeves, not to mention his siblings River and Rain. And as you remember, all of them were beloved by millions for their music. Welcome to the biz, Joaquin Phoenix! It’s a great time to climb aboard this ship!
