[ad]What’s Hot is on top of all the latest, so here we go!
Oscar nominee, Joaquin Phoenix has stunned everyone by announcing that he is quitting acting in favor of pursuing a singing career. The actor dropped a bombshell to entertainment news show Extra, announcing that his recently wrapped film Two Lovers, with Gwyneth Paltrow, will be his last. “I want to take this opportunity… also to give you the exclusive and just talk a little bit about the fact that this will be my last performance as an actor,” he said. “I’m not doing films anymore.” And it doesn’t seem like he’s joking either. Phoenix’s rep confirmed the news, stating, “That is what he told me.”
The other not so stunning announcement came from across the pond yesterday. British actor David Tennant, who is best known for playing The Doctor on the wildly popular Doctor Who for the last three years, announced that he is leaving. After filming the four specials that are to air next year in place of a regular season, Tennant will not be playing the Time Lord anymore. Fans of the show knew this day would come sooner or later and rumors have been circulating for quite some time as to who would fill Tennant’s shoes as the eleventh incarnation of The Doctor. Now speculation can truly begin. It wil be an interesting time for the show as the man responsible for the wildly popular reboot of the series, Russel T Davies stepped down after last season and is being replaced by Steven Moffatt, who has written the episodes “The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances” and “Blink”. So with two new faces in front of and behind the camera, what’s next for The Doctor? Time will only tell.
