Gwyneth Thinks Joaquin Needs Street Cred

Our assertion that Joaquin Phoenix’s new “rap” career is a big freakin’ joke has been obliquely confirmed by his Two Lovers co-star Gwyneth Paltrow.

“I think that there might be some other explanation or something going on” Gwyneth told MTV UK during the film’s European press junket. “I’m not quite sure what, but I can’t believe that he’s really going to quit [acting] forever to become a rapper.”

She does however have some advice for Joaquin if he chooses to continue his new hip hop career path: “Go live in the projects for a few years to get some authenticity, maybe.”

That’s right, Joaquin; Gwyneth Paltrow just told you that you don’t have any street cred.

Buuuurn!

Ha ha! Gwyneth actually made

Ha ha! Gwyneth actually made a joke. I almost don't despise her now. Joaquin can't keep this up for much longer if GWYNETH PALTROW can get a laugh making fun of him.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
