Three Reasons Why Keanu Reeves And Winona Ryder Should Turn Dating Rumors Into Reality

Coming To Theatres in 2015: Bill & Ted's Disappointing Career Trajectory

Keanu Reeves, who hasn't made moviegoers go "Whoa" since he chose the red pill 9 years ago, tells MTV.com that a third Bill & Ted movie is still on the table. Revealing a heretofore unknown "decades" rule in Bill & Ted filmmaking, the actor said "The most serious we [Reeves and pal/co-star Alex Winter] ever got was a few years ago.

The Top 7 Cinematic Fashion Trends We're Glad Didn't Set Hollywood Ablaze

The perfectly coiffed folks over at Men's Vogue decided to put together a very thorough list of the top 50 films that had the "most impact on men's style" when they came out. And their choices (The Graduate and Easy Rider among them) are certainly worthy of mention, but all that superior dressage got us wondering: which style trends should we be most thankful for NOT catching on?

Keanu Reeves Sued For Gently Nudging Photographer Out Of The Way With Porsche

A Hollywood tribal feud no less contentious than writers vs. producers is the one brewing for well over a century now between celebrities and paparazzi, the first documented incident of which involved Mary Pickford launching a half-eaten pomegranate at the head of a Movieland Tattler illustrator caught sketching the actress's unflattering likeness in her garden.
