Joaquin After Dentist?
When Oscar-nominated actor-turned-rapper-turned-hobo Joaquin Phoenix stopped by CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman on Feb. 11, America got a firsthand glimpse of the la-la land where Phoenix evidently now resides. Where to begin — his lumberjack beard? His unwashed mane? The creepy, unnecessary shades? Or the catatonic, mumbling responses to admittedly ridiculous questions like, “How’s that beard working out for ya?”
After several failed attempts to jolt Phoenix out of his stupor, Letterman finally resorted to biting sarcasm: “What can you tell us about your days with the Unabomber?” For its part, the crowd loved it. Phoenix, not so much. (“Are you f___ing serious?” he asked after Letterman sidekick Paul Shaffer let out a maniacal laugh; though Phoenix’s behavior begs the same question.) Bidding his oddball guest adieu, Letterman quipped, “And, uh, Joaquin, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight,” before adding, “We owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett.”

Farrah Fawcett Just Can't Stop
Farrah Fawcett thought she’d never escape the shadow of Charlie’s Angels. But this 1997 Letterman interview — on the heels of her 50th birthday — left her a bigger problem. Fawcett told a lot of stories. Long ones. Nonsensical ones. Creepy ones. Ones that didn’t end. She goes on for nearly 20 minutes. It’s unclear exactly how much air was pumped into her head preinterview, but she seemed to be having a grand ole time.
