Then we had all the craziness Britney Spears went through...
And, at all times, we've had Mad-Onna pretending to be something she's not; going through all these phases and names herself (Veronica Electronica, Esther, Ciccone, Madge, whore... oops, let's not go there now! *LMAO* Makes me think of a song by one of her likely groupies/wannabees though... Take a guess...)
But anyway...!
Now... We have the Joaquin Circus act!

Is Joaquin Phoenix truly making a career switch here and going from thespian to troubadour?
I'll sooner believe that namesake Joaquim De Almeida will soon become a PSD candidate back in his native Portugal...!
Hmm... but who really cares, ultimately?
The few appearances JP's made so far in this "new role" of his (lest it is truly a new function) are oddly entertaining; and, personally, I am just happy that in this guise, Joaquin evokes MY LUMINOUS LOOK of old...!
(And, in his Letterman put-down attitude, and the pro-active one he displayed by confronting a heckler during his recent show on a Miami Beach nightclub stage, he effectively evokes my own LUMINOUS ATTITUDE too...!)
Heck - I like that!
He played Johnny Cash in that certain biopic to the hilt - and it obviously gave him the musical bug so, now, I want him to play ME! It's gotten to that point, yeah! Heck, I sing the blues oftentimes: and he's definitely proven that he can do it too!
;-)

Joaquin, before the show -
and the rumble!
Next he should sing
"Trouble"
(the Elvis tune;
not Pink's! *lol*)

It's always been either one of the two Joaquims in the running, really: De Almeida was the top choice to play me but seeing as Phoenix has taken a turn to the lunatic fringe here, all of sudden, I don't know anymore...! He played an extremely convincing crazed Roman emperor too, in Gladiator and he's so darn convincing in this hairy role as well: he can play me!
River would be proud.
And is.
I am sure of it.
