"Do I have a large frog in my hair?"
http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix.htm

Joaquin Phoenix? The "Walk the Line" star — who spent some time earlier this year in rehab for his drinking — has been "acting very oddly" while promoting the Johnny Cash biopic.
"It seems like he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown," said one insider.

During an interview with the Associated Press at the movie's L.A. premiere on Friday night, Phoenix asked the reporter: "Do I have a large frog in my hair? . . . Something's crawling out of my scalp."

When the reporter assured Phoenix he "looked great," the actor replied, "No, but I feel it. I'm not worried about the looks. I'm worried about the sensation of my brain being eaten . . . What did you ask me?"

Phoenix's publicist, Sue Patricola, told PAGE SIX: "I think a fly flew on his head. I was standing right there and was laughing with him. He then went right back to the press line. He's doing interviews every damn day. And no, he's not having a nervous breakdown and is still sober. He's fantastic."

I hope he is though. Maybe it is one of those exhaustion break downs celebs go through!! I wish him luck. I really like him as an actor.

2. Poor Joaquin
That whole "Children of God" cult did a number on the kids....

Honestly, there is no way I could judge either of the Phoenixes...after what goes on in that cult, its amazing more kids don't end up dead.

5. And watching your big brother die on a sidewalk in front of you....
...has to complicate matters just a bit, too.

Actually, it sounds like Joachin was enjoying some hallucinogens--I hope that's all it was, anyway.

4. He would know better than most that drugs kill.
So, I would hope that he's sober. :)
