The producer suing Casey Affleck for sexual harassment has been accused of withholding "key production documents" from her bosses while trying to negotiate a higher salary, according to new legal filings.

Affleck is being sued for $2 million by Amanda White, a producer on his documentary "I'm Still Here," which follows actor Joaquin Phoenix's attempts to launch a rap career.

In a new court submission, Affleck's attorney Marty Singer claims White refused to hand over important paperwork until her contract was finalized, describing her move as "extortionate."

Singer includes an email in wh...

A lawyer representing Casey Affleck filed a request on Wednesday asking for the sexual harassment case against the actor to be moved away from the court system and into arbitration.

Ben Affleck's brother is being sued for $2 million by Amanda White, a producer on his documentary I'm Still Here, which follows actor Joaquin Phoenix's attempts to become a rap star. White filed suit last week alleging she endured "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace" while making the movie. The producer has a list of accusations, which include sexual harassment, breach of oral contract an...

Casey Affleck has denied claims that he sexually assaulted a woman while working on a documentary with Joaquin Phoenix.

Amanda White claims Affleck refused to pay her salary because she would not spend a night in a hotel room with him. She is suing for $2 million dollars for claims of "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace."

Affleck is married to Joaquin Phoenix' sister Summer. The alleged assault occurred during work on a documentary titled "Joaquin Phoenix: I'm Still Here," detailing the behavior of Joaquin as he grew out his beard and attempted to be a rap artist in ...

Actor Casey Affleck has been accused of sexual harassment by a producer of his quirky documentary about brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix's attempts to become a rap star.

Amanda White claims Affleck acted inappropriately while directing I'm Still Here and she is suing him for $2 million.

In papers filed in Los Angeles on Friday, White alleges she endured "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace" while making the movie.

She claims Affleck referred to women as 'cows' and discussed his sexual exploits in front of her. The producer also alleges Affleck, who is married to Phoeni...

Remember in 2008 when Joaquin Phoenix seemed to go off the deep end? He announced his retirement from acting on his knuckles, launched a rap career and grew a pretty awesome looking homeless man beard.

Apparently Magnolia Pictures has acquired the film "I'm Still Here: The Lost Year Of Joaquin Phoenix" which was filmed and directed by brother in law Casey Affleck. The film will hit theaters on September 10 of this year with plans to go wide the following week.

Was the whole thing a prank or was it real? Apparently there is some pretty outlandish stuff in this film that leaves the viewer u...

Actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix has stepped in front of the camera one more time in the name of animal rights - he's recorded a PETA campaign clip to urge stars against wearing exotic animal skins.

The "Walk The Line" star has recorded a short film for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) calling on celebrities to stop wearing clothes and accessories made from creatures such as alligators, lizards and snakes.

He says, "Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before being turned into belts and bags. Every year millions of reptiles are slaughter...

A representative for Joaquin Phoenix has shot down reports the star is preparing to return to the big screen as Edgar Allen Poe.

Slumdog Millionaire sound designer Resul Pookutty claimed earlier this week that Phoenix was tuning his back on his newfound rap career to head back to filmmaking.

He told India's Mumbai Mirror the star had signed up to play iconic American writer and poet Poe in an upcoming movie.

But Pookutty's claims have been dismissed by Phoenix's rep, who tells GossipCop.com the star will not be appearing in the picture.

The Walk The Line actor quit Hollywood last year, ...

Joaquin Phoenix's rap career has been put on hold - he will return to the big screen as Edgar Allen Poe, according to Oscar-winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty.

The "Walk The Line" actor quit Hollywood last year, announcing plans to focus on becoming a hip-hop star. He disappeared from the spotlight, only emerging for a string of bizarre TV interviews, which saw him sporting a scraggly beard and giving one-word replies to questions, and a couple of disastrous gigs.

However, "Slumdog Millionaire" sound designer Pookutty has revealed Phoenix is heading back to acting to play iconic Ame...

Movie veteran Gary Busey has been named and shamed as the unsexiest man in Hollywood in a new internet poll, edging out surprise contenders Justin Long, Kevin Spacey, Mickey Rourke and Joaquin Phoenix.

Editors at Moviefone.com compiled the list of Tinseltown's least desirable leading men, following People magazine's recent decision to name Johnny Depp Hollywood's top hunk.

Busey tops the unsexy list, "because he's outrageous and he has gigantic teeth". Long, Drew Barrymore's on/off beau came in third, because Moviefone editors decided "he is a 31-year-old man that (sic) looks like a...

Whether you practice the vegan lifestyle (consuming no animal products) or not, it is a craze that is more common than you think. Here are a few celebrities that choose to eat leafy greens instead of our furry friends.

Alicia Silverstone would definitely rather go naked than wear fur- literally. This hot vegan bared it all in PETA's first-ever naked veggie testimonial PSA. Alicia has followed a strict vegan diet for ten years and told PETA that is has made her feel physically and spiritually better than she could have ever imagined.

Val Kilmer makes a triumphant return to the big screen this week in "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," an off-kilter project befitting Kilmer's reputation as one of Hollywood's biggest head cases.

Will this film - Kilmer's first to get a wide release since 2006's "Déjà Vu" - get the actor back on the Hollywood map or will he continue to toil away in B-movie wilderness for the rest of his career?

Remember, Kilmer may be king of the straight-to-DVD landscape now, but for a while was considered to be one of the leading men in Hollywood. Kilmer was Iceman for crying out loud! H...

Celebrities are supposed to reinvent themselves. While some of these reinventions work out, sometimes they are complete failures. Take a look at these notable celebs that have drastically changed their appearance, behavior, or both.

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera has gone through a few changes of music and style, but her most recent is her most drastic. In 2002, Aguilera released Stripped and donned a variety of scant outfits. In addition, she wore heavy make-up, black hair extensions, and sang about getting "dirrty." With her most recent album, Back to Basics, Aguilera...

Anne Hathaway looks wonderful in all of her magazine pictures, especially when you consider that she's sporting more weight on her shoulders than most actors in Hollywood today. That's because she will play Judy Garland in a bio-picture based on the controversial book by Gerald Clark.

Hathaway is, of course, perfect for the role. Never mind that she can't quite copy the kind of 4-year-old face that became trademark Garland. That's one of those remarkable traits that can't be duplicated. She still has the pouting lips, the miraculous smile, and the charming singing voice. Her face might...

Spring is the season to ditch your old look and try something fresh. Whether it's a new haircut, a sexier physique or an emotional rejuvenation, it's healthy to experiment with a new you. The following celebrities are in need of a spring pick-me-up makeover.

Madonna needs a mental makeover. She's fresh off her divorce from Guy Ritchie and a Malawi adoption rejection. Madonna needs to take a little mental time out and enjoy her three kids.

Joaquin Phoenix needs a physical makeover. We're still not sure whether or not this rap career Joaquin is pursuing is a hoax...

Former House star Kal Penn insists his move to the White House isn't the end of his acting career - he's just taking a break to concentrate on public service.

The actor left fans of the medical drama stunned on Monday night when his doctor character, Lawrence Cutner, committed suicide. He then announced he'd taken a position as the associate director in the White House's Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs - a role similar to the one he held as a volunteer in Barack Obama's campaign to become President.

Penn moved to Iowa to work exclusively for Obama during the...

In the celebrity world, career dabbling is a relatively common occurrence. Once a person has risen to celebrity status, they have easy access to the necessary resources, such as agents, publicists, and various other in-the-biz connections, that will allow them to change careers almost as often as they change their bed sheets - think celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Hilary Duff who oscillate between being actresses and singers. Career changes like these are made especially possible in today's celebrity world thanks to contraptions like auto-tune, which has lead to the replacement of talen...

Actress Natasha Richardson's unexpected death in a skiing accident late last month stunned and saddened the public. The usually overzealous media even seemed to tread lightly, gently reporting a story it never expected to tell. For a culture that values and admires celebrity, the death of vibrant public figures with potential yet to fulfill serves as a harsh reminder that despite glamour, talent and seemingly charmed lives, all of us are mortal. Whether on screens big or small, over the radio airwaves or in bright vivid color on canvas, the sudden passing of an entertainer can feel like the...

Reese Witherspoon is supporting her Walk The Line co-star Joaquin Phoenix's bid for music stardom - she can't wait to buy his debut album.

Phoenix recently revealed he had quit acting to become a rapper. He has since made a string of bizarre public appearances, including two nightclub performances, the last of which ended with an angry confrontation with a heckler in Miami, Florida last month.

Phoenix has revealed it was his role as Johnny Cash in the 2005 movie which inspired him to learn the guitar and set him on the road to pursue a music career.

And Witherspoon is all ...

Two Lovers director James Gray has hit out at the film's star Joaquin Phoenix - insisting the actor is "making a fool of himself" by launching a rap career.

Phoenix recently announced he has quit acting in order to become a hip-hop-star and has since made a string of bizarre public appearances.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a long history of awarding actors who portray real people. For example: Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles (Ray), Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos (Monster), Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena (Boys Don't Cry), Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin (The Last King Of Scotland), Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II (The Queen), and most recently Sean Penn as Harvey Milk (Milk).

Lesser recognized is the Academy's favor for actors who play literary figures or exist in their spheres. It's quite possible the stars of the recently released The Edge of Love, the st...

Gwyneth Paltrow has cast doubt over her Two Lovers co-star Joaquin Phoenix's new 'music career' admitting she suspects it's a hoax.

The Gladiator star recently revealed he had quit acting to become a rapper.

He has since made a string of bizarre public appearances, including two nightclub performances, the last of which ended with an angry confrontation with a heckler, in Miami, Florida on Wednesday.

Skeptics have suggested Phoenix's hip hop endeavors are being staged as part of a prank project - and Paltrow admits she's not convinced by his claims.

The actress tells MTV...

Actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix reportedly staged a fight during a recent gig in Florida - as part of an ongoing career change prank.

The star - who claims to have quit acting to make hip-hop music - was playing a gig at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Miami, Florida on Wednesday night when the incident occurred.

Phoenix ended the concert early when a man began jeering from the crowd - the star jumped down to confront the heckler and had to be restrained by security guards.

But New York Post gossip column PageSix claims the brawl was premeditated, with Phoenix plan...

Actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix had to be restrained by a security guard at a gig in Florida after he launched himself at a heckler in the audience.

The star - who has quit acting to pursue a hip-hop career - was playing a gig at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Miami on Wednesday night when the incident occurred.

Fans packed into the hotel's nightclub waited four hours until Phoenix eventually appeared on stage at 2am, mumbling the words to his songs over a backing track.

And when one man began jeering from the crowd, Phoenix jumped down from the stage to confront ...

50 Cent has offered to mentor Joaquin Phoenix as the Oscar nominee tries to cut his teeth as a rapper.

Phoenix's bizarre attempt to forge a career in hip-hop has been largely derided - he was mocked after an odd performance at a Las Vegas nightclub earlier this year. But 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, insists Phoenix has a chance at success - he just needs to draw on and write about his own life experiences.

The star tells BlackVoices.com, "He should write about the things that he has real interest in, the things he has been influenced by. Because, when an artist writes som...

A representative for actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix has slammed an Illinois psychiatrist for branding the star's recent behavior on a talk show as "socially inappropriate."

The Oscar nominee sported a scraggly beard, hid behind dark sunglasses, chewed gum and gave brief answers as he promoted his movie Two Lovers on the Late Show With David Letterman last month.

His appearance has since been ridiculed in the press, with comedian Ben Stiller even impersonating Phoenix at the recent Academy Awards.

Medical professionals have also weighed in on the topic - with Chicago psyc...
