Joaquin Phoenix Begins Burning His Hollywood Bridge

Here's Gwyneth Paltrow promoting Two Lovers all by herself in Paris on Tuesday, because douchebag Joaquin Phoenix can no longer trouble himself with Hollywood events.   

A week after self-importantly announcing his plan to quit acting following Two Lovers, the 34-year-old actor-turned-musician has jumped ship early. 

On Saturday Joaquin managed to drive down the street for the L.A. premiere of Che, but his appearance was anything but promotional.

Wearing the words 'good' and 'bye' written on his knuckles, Joaquin gushed about 'moving on' to 'greener pastures.'

But according to insiders, the 'green' in Joaquin's future might just be the shit he's jamming into his weed pipe every day.  Friends worry he may have tapped into his druggie past since seeing him slur his words and act more neurotic than usual lately. 

I guess watching his brother River Phoenix overdose at the Viper Room in the 90s wasn't enough to steer Joaquin away from drugs - or rock'n' roll.
