Top weirdest stories of the past week...


Alright, the top of my list is the slipping into insanity Joaquin Phoenix. WTF is this guy thinking? First there's viral video of him falling off a stage, while performing a "rap" concert at a hotel. Then come to find out Casey Affleck is following him around and shooting a "documentary" about it. AND to cap it all off there's a new myspace page with 3 tracks supposedly recorded by Joaquin himself. What do you think? Hoax? Stupidity? Insanity? Media duping? Between Idolator and the Mtv Newsroom, Phoenix is killing it on free Internet hype.

Joaquin Phoenix rapping and falling.



Ewwww.



Second, there's the Ryan Leslie issue floating around thanks to the Fader blog. Is this guy a Sasha Baron Cohen character? He does look a lot like him when he takes his glasses off. Is the music really worth listening to beyond the single? His own video diary is intriguing but I can't say I'm still not trying to figure out who this character is. I mean, I hadn't even heard of the guy when this story popped up. Whattya think? Would Sasha go to this great length to dupe people again? If it's not...and I were Ryan Leslie, I would not be happy to be compared to Borat.
