I’ve blogged about this before…and now there’s a whole new breed of mostly WTF actors trying to be singers.
So we’ll start with a good one- I was sent this youtube link, and the PR person never even name dropped who it is- so I watched it and was like, “isn’t that the guy from The Notebook?”

Read Part 1 here. How do you consume music from your artist? What format (CD, MP3, vinyl), where do you…
I believe Joaquin Phoenix was a fantastic actor, how ever a rapper (as he keeps saying he wants to be) don’t think so. Personally I’m hoping one day he’ll wake up from where ever he is right now and make movies again.
