Saturday, Jan 30 1998 From New York Post Page Six: STEPHEN Dorff continues to work his way through the model ranks. The spunky actor, last seen as a fashionable vampire in "Blade," is dating Rhea Durham, star of campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Byblos and Carolina Herrera's 212 fragrance. Though he strikes out a lot, Dorff has gone for extra bases with Georgina Grenville and Natane Adcock. He usually trolls for talent at fashionable parties in the company of pals JOAQUIN PHOENIX, David Blaine, Anthony Kiedis and art dealer Tony Shafrazi. Gladiator - news the story Sunday, Jan 24 1998 You minght think of Phoenix, 24, as an intense guy (consider his roles: a murdere in To Die For, a rivalrous brother in Inventing the Abbotts, a prisoner in Return To Paradise), but a music man? Heck, why not, you think, as you hear him play pretty little tunes on the piano while he discusses his breakup with Liv Tyler: "It was a fantastic, mature decision. I feel blessed we had three years. At a certain point we stopped evolving together, pushing each other. So we decided to end it." Is he putting on a brave face? Well, you would, too, if you'd just filmed a, yes, intense movie about snuff films (8mm, costaring Nicolas Cage). PHOENIX'S EYE VIEW: "8mm is about these lost kids who fall into the porno world, searching for the glamour of Hollywood and the life they can't find in Middle America. They go on casting calls that end up being porno shoots where they're basically drugged into doing unspeakable acts." LIGHTS, CAMERA, UNSPEAKABLE ACTION! "We shot in a real sex shop, which was overwhelming-weird sex devices hanging on the walls, those anatomically correct blow-up dolls. Let me tell you, we all just kept our heads down." PERSONAL EXPOSURE: "The first time I saw a porno film, I was ten or so. I walked into the room of a friend's older brother and thought: `Oh, my God, this is awful,` and got on my bike and rode home as fast as I could." Saturday, Jan 23 1999 The official release-date for The Yards is in the moment Aug 6. Sunday, Jan 17 1999 Some extracts: His analysis of the breakup paints it as the most civil in Hollywood. "I`m a great believer in people coming into your life, and you into theirs, for a reason," he says. "And i know that when Liv and I met, it was for a reason - I really needed her and she really needed me. And at a certain point, I think we stopped evolving with each other, stopped progressing, and made a very mature decision to move on, even though there was still a great love there. There`s no one gossipy thing that I can share. I`m thankful that we had the time we had." Gentle responses like this help apint a picture of Phoenix as the sweet, sensitive type. But Phoenix isn`t content resting with that reputation or with the work he`s done so far. "When you become satisfied, you stop fighting, and I like fighting," he says. "It means that I`m constantly progressing and evolving. I`m never satisfied, and hopefully, I never will be." Also some information about 8mm: A review of 8 MM from a person who attended a private
screening on the Sony lot that was held last week: Saturday, Jan 9 1999 NEW YORK (AP) - Joaquin Phoenix can feel good about making it on his own. While initially overshadowed by his older brother, River, who died of a drug overdose in 1993 while partying at the Viper Room in Los Angeles, Joaquin Phoenix endured the glare of media attention and broke through to stardom with his role in 1995's ``To Die For'' with Nicole Kidman. In an interview in Cosmopolitan magazine's February issue, the 24-year-old actor says he's not offended by the media labeling him his brother's heir apparent in acting. "I'm proud of my brother,'' he says. "I would never NOT want to be associated with him.'' He's just finished four back-to-back films which began last fall with "Clay Pigeons'' with Vince Vaughn. His upcoming film is "8MM,'' with Nicolas Cage. Also you should take a look at www.eonline.com at ted casablanca´s gossip, there you will find a report about a party of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Lukas Haas and Joaquin.
