A heavily bearded Joaquin Phoenix pushes his long hair back with a big hairclip while socializing with other celebs during the Butter Party at Fontainebleau Miami Beach’s LIV nightclub on Monday (December 29).

Also at the party: Diddy, Casey Affleck, director Brett Ratner, Brody Jenner’s BFF Frankie Delgado, Desperate Housewives star Shawn Pyfrom, Jamie Foxx, and Laguna Beach’s Kristin Cavallari.

Earlier this year, Joaquin, 34, stated that his latest film, Two Lovers, would 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,” Joaquin said. “I’m not doing films anymore.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Joaquin’s hairclip — HOT or NOT?

PARTY RESPONSIBLY

Diddy is offering free cab fare to New Yorkers this New Year’s Eve party goers.

The 39-year-old music mogul and Ciroc premium vodka have teamed up with City Taxi & Limousine Commission and E! Entertainment to distribute thousands of debit cards, valued up to $15.

“New York is the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve City,” Diddy says. “So let’s lead by example and show everyone that a sophisticated holiday celebration doesn’t just end when the ball drops, but when everyone gets home safely.”

Street teams will distribute the debit cards in the Times Square area and Chelsea’s nightclub areas between 11PM on New Year’s Eve and 3AM on New Year’s Day.

Sean “Diddy” Combs dresses up as the Pope and lays his holy hands on singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura (as Wonder Woman) at his Halloween party at New York City’s Lucky Strike Lanes.

Diddy, 39 tomorrow, and Cassie, 22, have never publicly come forward about being romantically involved.

Cassie even told People on July 9: “We are not together, but we are definitely friends. We work hard together, so it makes a good combo.”

Diddy signed Cassie to his label Bad Boy Records, which released her debut album Cassie in 2006.

DO YOU THINK Diddy and Cassie are a couple???

Sean “Diddy” Combs poses for the October cover of L’Uomo Vogue’s music issue with his bow-tie-precious twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James (they turn 2 in December).

In the cover story, Diddy talks enthusiastically about the upcoming presidential election, the importance of voting, his many successful businesses and the evolution of inspiration in creating music.

Diddy said, “The concept of ‘Black on Black’ in this story represents a level of strength, a level of beauty, a level of sexy and chic that I really want to portray. It’s the future. And it’s not just a race thing; it’s almost a redefinition of the color. Think about how ignorant people actually make the color black represent something negative. Black is so beautiful, I see it in everything I am, as a person, as a man, as a fashion professional. Black is beautiful.”

Sean Combs (the artist sometimes known as Diddy) is getting high marks for his acting in the ABC special, A Raisin in the Sun.

Says the New York Times about the TV special, “There are no mediocre performances here… That Mr. Combs makes his desires seem like more than empty materialism must come in some part from the fact that he has been hungry at the same table… The play’s most poignant speech is his, and he delivers it with all of the dignified vengeance it demands, showing us that one of the great advantages of money is the power it provides to tell the wrong people off… Mr. Combs commanding and fierce.”

A Raising in the Sun premieres tonight at 8PM ET/PT on ABC (broadcasts in HD, where available).
