Winona Ryder At The Giffoni Film Festival
Winona Ryder attended the 39th Annual Giffoni Film Festival held in Italy yesterday afternoon. The festival is unlike any other because the films are critiqued by judges ranging in age from 3 to 21 years of age. What a great opportunity for young film students!
On a somewhat unrelated topic, can you beileve Winona is 37 years old? She doesn't look a day over 20. Either she bathed in the Fountain of Youth or she has amazing genes : )

Winona Ryder Confirms Heathers Sequel
Well, why not! Every other movie is getting remade or expanded. Why would Heathers be saved or spared?
In an interview with Us Weekly, Winona Ryder confessed that there will in fact be a sequel to the 1988 cult classic.
"Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God,"
she told the magazine. "But for some reason the writer Dan Waters and
director Michael Lehman don't want to talk about it. I've been wanting
to do a sequel forever. There is a story, and Christian [Slater] has agreed to come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character."
At least the main characters are in!
The actress also talked about Angelina Jolie's success in 'Girl Interrupted', another one of Winona's infamous films.
"I knew from the outset that whoever played Lisa was going to get all the attention," Ryder tells the July issue of Empire magazine. "At one point they asked if I wanted to play Lisa and I said, 'No, I want to be Susanna.'"
"When it came out, people almost felt bad for me. But I expected it all along. I was really happy with the film, and really proud of it."
"At the time I worked with her, she was battling her looks because she's so beautiful," she said. "She wanted very much to be taken seriously and not just judged on her looks. And she conquered that."
I wonder why this was even brought up? I mean Angelina won the Academy Award in 1999! Bringing it up now out of nowhere is a bit odd. I guess reporters will take any link to Jolie to print a story these days.
Next up, Angelina's 5th grade classmate who accidentally tripped when the actress bumped her in the hall. Stay tuned to learn how she's been coping with it all these years.

Winona Ryder Talks About Her Struggles With Fame
After taking a 7-year hiatus from the public eye, Winona Ryder is back with a role in 'Star Trek' (Spock's mom: didn't you recognize her?) and the upcoming fall movie, 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.' She talked to the UK edition of Elle about dealing with fame as a teenager, including the break-up of her engagement to Johnny Depp.
'I had just done Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak.'
'And I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just
thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be
depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was
completely lost.'I remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything,
because I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky.' After that I realized I needed to
take time off more [regularly].' "
Did you know she was only 19 at the time of their break-up? I don't remember her being so young!
Now, Winona says she has developed "more balance in her life" and expresses her admiration for fellow actress Kate Winslet.
During the Oscars, I was thinking about how she totally has that thing,
she has her family and children and life and she seems really together
and solid – and yet she can completely devastate you on the screen."
It sounds like time off from the limelight was good for Winona, don't you think?

Winona Ryder At The Grove
Winona Ryder and a friend were spotted shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. Winona is one of those actresses that I will always love even if she never takes on another project in her lifetime. I mean, how can you go wrong with 'Heathers', 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Mermaids'? HOW?
Isn't it funny that we are seeing her the day after Gwyneth Paltrow put up that blind item that MOST people think is about Winona???? The paparazzi are smart eggs.

Winona Ryder Overdosed On Tranquilizers
Yesterday we heard that a British Airways flight had to make an emergency landing because of a medical problem on board. The female passenger that was ill was Winona Ryder. Turns out she's terrified of flying and ended up taking too many tranquilizers in an effort to calm her nerves.
Ryder is thought to have collapsed twice on board the transatlantic BA flight after taking too many Xantax pills for anxiety.
No shame in being afraid of flying. Sure the statistics tell us that it's safer than driving, but then along comes a tragedy like what happened to Travis Barker and DJ AM and you realize that anything could happen...
Winona Ryder Rushed To The Hospital
While flying to London, Winona Ryder suddenly felt ill and had to be rushed to the hospital after landing. Oh no!
Medics were waiting for the actress to land and treated her immediately! Then once they felt Winona was stable enough to transport, they took her to the Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge.
While British Airways would not release any specifics, they had the following statement for press:
"The captain of BA282, which was travelling from LA to Heathrow, requested a priority landing as a female passenger required medical attention.
"The passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The plane touched down shortly before noon UK time.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.
Winona Ryder And Her Love For King Tut
It must be a full moon because Winona Ryder has been found! Here she is walking around with a King Tut pamphlet on her way to catch a plane. Perhaps she's making her way to NY's Fashion Week?
I'm sitting at the Metropolitan Pavilion waiting for several shows to start. I have my camera, my tape recorder and my laptop. So all will be recorded and uploaded. I can't wait to see what's coming up for this season!
