What Tha Hell?

affleck.combs.phoenix.jpgOh man, this makes me sad - sad and worried. Check out this video, courtesy of TMZ, to watch a homeless looking man rappin' while loaded. It should be noted that said 'homeless looking man' is actually retired actor Joaquin Phoenix. He's sporting a full beard, knit cap and baggy pants with a hole-in-jeans right by the crotch. It's bad - really, really bad. This was his "debut", which took place recently in Vegas. Oddly enough, Casey Affleck is documenting the whole actor-to-rap-star journey. I thought that was weird, until I read a post Sasha at Evil Beet wrote which noted that Casey is married to Joaquin's sister, Summer. That makes a little more sense. Summer probably begged Casey to go along with this filming farce, but he's really filling in as Joaquin's minder. We all remember River Phoenix and his tragic overdose. It's heartbreaking to watch his brother apparently taking the same road - and quickly. Let's hope he gets the help he appears to need, soon!
