Whether it's drugs, anxiety, or just another tragic case of Christian Bale Disease (extremely over-inflated sense of self-worth), Joaquin Phoenix put on quite a show on Letterman last night. Then again, maybe that's just it; it's all an act. Is Phoenix the one that's really laughing here? Very well could be, but who cares. For now, I'm just going to assume that he takes himself this seriously, it makes it so much better. I'm also going to assume he's an ass, which may be true regardless of what theory you subscribe to.

For those of you who would rather not click, it was my list of cursed NFL positions, including such luminaries as Chicago QB, Eagles Coach and Cardinals Owner. For the most part, fans from the tweaked fan bases look it in stride, added fuel to the fire (I did not know that the last time Lion QB made a Pro Bowl was in 1972), or pointed out my occ...

But none more than wacky Scientologist John Travolta. John told Woman's Day magazine, "I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It's like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent. And this whole evening is very hard for me. We are cele...
