Joaquin Phoenix continues to deny persistent rumors that his switch from acting to hip-hop is all part of some elaborate hoax, but insists he really really means it, and furthermore, has received encouragement from others in the industry. "I had a lot of dudes come up and say,`We really respect you for doing it, putting yourself out there, and going with it,'" Joaquin said. "Because I think true hip-hop heads know that it's hard, it's going to be a hard transition, and people are going to be lining up just to make fun of me." And he said that all with a straight face! That's cause he's an actor - he knows how to feign sincerity. Oh, sorry: Was an actor. Sure, I'll play along.

The thing is, it's hard to tell at this point what is a "straight face" for Joaquin. Have you heard or seen him lately slurring his words in an interview. I simply cannot decide if the guy is constantly on dope or if he suffers from some kind of progressive brain damage.
