Defamer
If the messages flooding into our inbox and IM windows are to be believed, the entire entertainment industry is currently paralyzed with worry that the following rumor of a Winona Ryder overdose, currently being passed along on countless tracking boards and e-mail chains, might be true:
In what appears to be an apparent suicide, Winona Ryder was pronounced dead as a result of cardiac arrest after consuming more than two-dozen sleeping pills.Complete details are not yet available, as this story is still developing.
So in the interest of doing our part to get people back to the important work of rolling calls, screaming at their assistants, and trying to dream up projects to which the suddenly red-hot Ryder can be immediately attached: The story seems to be just another poorly executed hoax from this site (see: "actress drug overdose POPULAR!" in the Targeting Celebrities section), which previously attempted to kill off Tom Hanks during a fictional New Zealand shoot. Also not dead: Drew Barrymore and Helen Mirren. We may never believe another thing the once-trusted Global Associated News network tells us.
Of course, we haven't actually placed a call to Ryder's people, so feel free to continue freaking out until the story is officially denied.

Sadly, this would only make her semi-interesting.
Assuming it's fake - You'd think they go for a more emotionally disturbed/fragile celebutard to hoax about.
If it's true, her soul finally caught up with her career.
Would Howard K. Stern get custody of all the stuff she stole?
Also -- "in what appears to be an apparent suicide"?
If you're going to pull a hoax, at least find SOMEONE capable of not mangling the English language to write your release.
Having seen her "act" how would you know if she were dead or alive?
Sweet sting of irony! This rumor had to originate from someone watching too much Heathers on TBS.
"Suicide gave Heather depth, Kurt a soul, and Ram a brain. I don't know what it's given me, but I have no control over myself when I'm with J.D. Are we going to prom or to hell?"
@MrPeepers:
She was seen HANGING OUT WITH BILL MAHER!
If that isn't a cry for help then I do not know what is.
mid-30's suicide: don't do it.
That hyphen between the "two" and "dozen" cries out "fake journo."
Great, another 30-something actress woefully attempting to upstage the younger, wilder, more "vulnerable" 20-something girls. Yawn.
Well, she did star in "Heathers", after all.
See girls, that's what going out with Bill Maher will drive you to do - there's no crawl space under THAT low . . .
The only pic missing from the Bill Maher ager was one of the Crypt Keeper.
My whole world is shattered. I really believed that story I read a couple months ago about the kid that broke the masturbation world record. I weeped with joy for him. I emailed the story to my friends and family. I linked to it from my website (the company one, natch), and now I learn it's all fake.
This just in. Phil Anderson overdoses on a dozen sleeping pills, depressed and hurt by internet trickery.
Winona needs to come live with me.
not bill maher.
