"Star" magazine (January 11)
Kate Moss has been spotted at the L.A. hotspot the playroom - and her current playmate is Liv Tyler's ex-boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix

So what do you think about that? To me it sounds like a rumour.

At the Miramax-homepage you find "The Yards" in the Coming soon-section. It tells the following text:

The Yards is a thriller set in the vast New York City subway yards. After being imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, Leo
Handler (MARK WAHLBERG) just wants to get his life back on track, so he goes to the one place he thinks will be safe--home.
There Leo takes a new job with his highly connected and
influential Uncle Frank (JAMES CAAN), and is reunited with his
longtime friend, Willie Guitierrez (JOAQUIN PHOENIX), his cousin, and his girlfriend Erica (CHARLIZE THERON). But in the
legendary yards, a place where his family has toiled for generations and his uncle now pulls the strings, safe is not how they do business. Unwittingly, he’s drawn into a world of sabotage, high stakes pay-offs and even murder. And the secret he discovers, will make him the target of the most ruthless family in the city...his own. Now, in the name of justice he’ll have to do
everything in his power to take them down.

Directed by JAMES GRAY ("Little Odessa") from a screenplay
by Gray and MATT REEVES (TV’s "Felicity"), THE YARDS also
stars Academy Award winners FAYE DUNAWAY and ELLEN
BURSTYN.

Also: I found a really great fanpage on "Gladiator": DreamWorks SKG Fansite-Gladiator, it has the following sections: latest news, film preview, cast&crew, image gallery, downloads, production, reviews, releated links and a forum. I just can say, a great informative page!

Vote at the new poll! If you move with the mouse over the pictures you can see which movie it was (they are from "8mm" "U-Turn" "Clay Pigeons" "To Die For" and "Inventing the Abbotts")
Personally I think he looks best in "Clay Pigeons" although I didnt see the movie yet.
