Hearing that Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder may be dating is like winning the Fantasy Celebrity Hookups jackpot.

Familiar Sound Of Ringing Security Alarm Signals Winona Ryder's Departure From Area Business

It may soon be time to dive back into the drawer containing your vast assortment of "Free [Insert First Name of Guilty Celebrity]" T-shirts, and fish out the one that started it all: Winona "Saks' Fifth Most Wanted" Ryder, the National Enquirer is reporting, has allegedly been caught once again with her hands in the klepto jar. (We don't even know why they bother to make klepto jars, really—it's just asking for trouble.) This time, the action takes place at a comparatively downmarket CVS drugstore in Hollywood:

According to the publication, when she left the store, she set off an alarm that drew the attention of a security guard.

It's a sad day in the blogosphere when the one bit of happy news we've heard all day proves to be a complete farce. Us has just posted a statement from Winona Ryder's rep informing all Wino4eva enthusiasts that the actress is not, in fact, engaged to boyfriend Blake Sennett. Poor Winona. Just when we thought the day finally came where one of her rocker beaus would make her an honest woman, it turns out to be nothing but a dream. [Us]

Winona Ryder Engaged To Indie Rocker, Receives Slurred Approval From Courtney Love

If we could swap ex-boyfriend lists with any celebrity, it would have to be newly-engaged (!) Winona Ryder. Johnny Depp, Rob Lowe, Daniel Day Lewis, Christian Slater, David Duchovny ... swoon. But we digress. The Getty Images blog is reporting that the top-heavy worldwide-forgiven shoplifter is with fiance. And while the lucky guy in question isn't the prettiest boy she's ever gotten under the covers with, he's got rocker cred. Cali native Blake Sennett, guitarist for indie band Rilo Kiley, has apparently been working with Winona on a film called Water Pill, though we can't find any mention of the mystery flick on IMDB or elsewhere (perhaps it's an indie sex tape? One can only hope.) More details on when and where they made their announcement, including what newly appointed cultural observer Courtney Love had to say about it, after the jump.

Months Of Tireless Handshake Practice Fails Tom Cruise At Will Smith's Walk Of Fame Ceremony


· I Am Legend star Will Smith's otherwise peppy Walk of Fame induction ceremony ground to a halt when a frustrated Tom Cruise, unable to successfully complete a soul-shake with his old friend because of the crushing pressure of being watched by hundreds of their adoring fans, pledged that he'd keep everyone there "for as long as it takes" to execute the elaborate gesture without stopping in the middle. Fifteen minutes later, an exasperated Smith mercifully smothered Cruise with a hug, wanting to save him from the same kind of embarrassment his inability to dance once caused in a BET studio. (Click the photo for a larger version.) [Getty Images]
· Winona Ryder ventriloquist dummy sex tape!
· Read all about one man's harrowing, four-day ordeal trapped in a lawn bowling club's bathroom. The good news: the toilet seemed to be functioning.
· This is what it would probably look like if you detonated a bomb in an American Apparel store during their busiest hour.


Not long after an aggrieved William Shatner went public with the disappointing news that upcoming Star Trek project director J.J. Abrams decided to place the forcibly retired Enterprise captain inside a coffin-capsule and jettison him out into the endless void of space rather than toss him a token, Trekkie-appeasing cameo, another casting bombshell has been announced: Winona Ryder has signed on to play mom to a Young Spock. Variety identifies Ryder's character as a Vulcan—but, if our fading memory of Trek lore serves, wasn't Spock's mother a human? Is Abrams messing with mythology, or was this just a simple error that will result in the mass delivery of severed, pointy ears to the Var offices in protest? Do let us know, or this will torment us all day long. [Variety]

'Vogue' Posts Two Guards At Sample-Closet Doors In Anticipation Of Winona Ryder Cover Shoot

Winona Ryder graces the cover of the upcoming issue of Vogue—at 35, inching perilously close to the "As Good As Dead" demographic briefly alluded to in the fashion bible's specially themed "Age Issue." In the accompanying interview, the actress finally addresses the embarrassing 2001 incident that launched countless "Free [First Name of Guilty Celebrity Famous Enough To Avoid Regular-People Justice]" t-shirts, i.e. being caught on security cameras turning Saks Fifth Avenue into a personal, unauthorized gifting suite:

"I didn't have this tremendous sense of guilt, because I hadn't hurt anyone," Ryder tells Vogue magazine for its August cover story. "Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience."

Hollywood PrivacyWatch Special Edition: Bill Maher And Winona Ryder Bond Over Jewish Liberalism At The Tower

The orgiastic clusterfuck that is Oscars Week in L.A. can produce just about any variety of celebrity composite, and so one is hardly compelled to raise an eyebrow at sightings involving Orlando Bloom pouring hot fudge from a gravy terrine down Penelope Cruz's cleavage, with an incapacitated Courtney Love lying on the floor directly below, hungrily collecting the drippings. But something about this PrivacyWatch sighting of Real Time host and tireless cokewhores' rights advocate Bill Maher cozying up with Saks' Fifth-Most-Wanted Winona Ryder struck as instantly noteworthy: More »
