Fortune teller game.Just type in a celeb name,(hint:Try Joaquin :)),then yours,then click on a planet,then see what is in your future.Mine said,"Yes!Yes!Yes!You won't be eating Top Ramen for long!"
Now I ask,what's wrong with Top Ramen?....Okay so I played a few times before I got THAT answer but it was fun anyway!

BTW,A new poll is up:Does Joaquin look like Ben Chaplin??"

*News:5/04/02*-SMALL MENTION-Not much news today.While I was on my daily search for Joaq news I stumbled upon a "Murder by Numbers" Review(with Sandra Bullock) from BluntReview.com-

"Ben Chaplin is edibly cute like a big-ole-box-of-Oreos! He looks like Joaquin Phoenix and Antonio Banderas had a love child; that sexy stare with the quirky face structure. I'd like to slather him in Ben in Jerry's ice cream, wait till it's all melted and sticky and….um, er."
Now I know what you're thinking..Ben and Jerry's???? Everyone knows that Dreamer's ice cream is the best! Anyway see a resemblance?

(Both Ben Chaplin)


Well wheter he looks like Joaquin or not,they're both dubbly attractive.:)

*News:5/01/02*-MOVIE NEWS:Well,It seems like SIGNS is a big hit after it's private screening last night.Here's a review from Ain't-It-Cool News-
From:NoeFresh-

"Joaquin is touching and at times hilarious such as his description of his own personal reason for having faith in god- hint- it has to do with kissing a drunk, about to be violently ill girl and a moment of lucky timing. It's too bad everyone's going to have to wait until the end of the summer to see it- but at least they can rest assured that if everything else coming out this summer sucks- we have one movie to look forward to."
From Green Buddha-
" Best things going for it: 1. Acting - Joaquin does it again ("Joaquin, you're the bomb!"). He owned the role, thank god Ruffalo dropped out. His character is funny, naive and touching. He has a couple of scenes with Mel that make the movie. Mel as always is good . Is he ever not thoroughly watchable? And both the kids turn in solid performances. They would have had a hard time finding a more adorable girl ."
Even if the movie is not that good(which I doubt) Joaquin is going to be fantastic! Yet another movie where he detours the spotlight from the "Hollywood Star".

ALERT!!!!-Access Hollywood will be uncovering new scenes of SIGNS,Tommorrow on May 2.Set your VCR'S folks!
