Mar 20 2007Keanu Reeves runs over the paparazzi
Keanu Reeves hit a paparazzo with his car yesterday while pulling out of a parking space. According to the LA County Sheriff's Department:
"Mr. Reeves pulled out of a parking space, parallel to the curb, and grazed a paparazzo" with his 1996 Porsche, around 8:45 PM Monday night in Rancho Palos Verdes. The Sheriff's Dept. claims that the man then, "fell to the ground," and "paramedics were summoned." The photog was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was treated for unknown injuries. Reeves was not injured during the accident.
The biggest mystery here is why anybody is following Keanu Reeves around trying to take his picture. There wasn't a gas station attendant they could've been photographing? Or a gardener? Trying to get exclusive shots of Keanu Reeves is like trying to get exclusive shots of the dumpster behind Starbucks.
A few more of Keanu Reeves inspecting his Porsche after the jump.

Second?
He's clearly been hanging out with Matt McC
3. didey23 - March 20, 2007 10:39 AM
the guy probably deserved it. I feel no pity for paparazzi. If he wasn;t behind the car in the first place he wouldn't havegot hit.
4. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 10:39 AM
Check out those legs.
5. HollyJ - March 20, 2007 10:39 AM
Is that a shot of cough syrup in his hand?
6. didey23 - March 20, 2007 10:40 AM
He looks much berrter clean shaven. The grizzly Adams look is not very appealing.
7. BarbadoSlim - March 20, 2007 10:40 AM
That piece of shit pap better pay for any damage to that sweet Carrera 4. And if he's dead, his family better pay for it.
Porsche, Excellence was expected.
8. danielle - March 20, 2007 10:40 AM
Looks to me like KeanEWW got hit by them.
9. veggi - March 20, 2007 10:40 AM
Yay Ted! Or was he Bill?
10. roselynnerae - March 20, 2007 10:40 AM
He's more concerened with his Porsche than with the paparazzo he ran over.
11. lambman - March 20, 2007 10:41 AM
I like that his Porsche is from the same year people stopped caring about anything he did.
12. HollyJ - March 20, 2007 10:41 AM
Believe it or not, it's still illegal to run over people with your car, even if you don't like them.
13. DrPhowstus - March 20, 2007 10:42 AM
Wow, he sure has let himself go since the Matrix 4 was turned down by the studio.
14. almostfamous - March 20, 2007 10:42 AM
haha he just hit a guy and he's checking his car. the only reason he hit the guy is because he knew no one would bother publishing the pictures if he didn't
15. BarbadoSlim - March 20, 2007 10:46 AM
We are gonna start caring about fucking scumbag paparazzi now?
fuck'em
16. veggi - March 20, 2007 10:47 AM
SAFE parking only is the sign behind his head.
Dude, it said safe parking. Why was I to think any different? Come on Ted, lets travel through time. Excellent!

Ok, that was fucking funny.
As for the picture, I didn't know that BJ and the Bear was still filming.

the virtue of the devil is in his loins, and the virtue of his loins is in his car...

Good for him
youtuberoast dot cahm
22. D'oh Eyes - March 20, 2007 11:18 AM
What is that brown gash-looking thing in his shin? Or is it just dirt that he hasn't bothered to scrub off?
23. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 11:26 AM
I think he looks hot. Not Earl hot, or even Wally hot, but still pretty hot.
24. alaskanchicsickle - March 20, 2007 11:29 AM
Sorry, can't feel bad for the pap, they bring it upon themselves; the idiot probably popped out from behind another car to get a pic, and Keanu didn't see him.
Keanu looks scruffy, but cute. I want to take him home and groom him.
25. veggi - March 20, 2007 11:30 AM
I'd so take him to pleasure town. Just not let him talk....
26. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 11:30 AM
Ok, this is getting weird now...schack, last night I had a dream about your loins.
27. imran karim - March 20, 2007 11:32 AM
okk
28. julyper - March 20, 2007 11:34 AM
AAAH!!! His legs!!! Too white!!!
I like him though.
29. FRIST!!! - March 20, 2007 11:36 AM
#22 The gash is from when I got super pissed at the dial-up here at the office and grabbed my machetti and went nuts at the 7-11 parking lot down the street. I swear I didn't mean to hurt him, he just got too close when we were both practicing our Matrix moves...
30. schack - March 20, 2007 11:36 AM
hah! you didn't have to tell ME that, mommy
31. scienceguy - March 20, 2007 11:38 AM
I think one day each year celebrities should be given permits to hunt down paparazzis. The first day of spring seems an ideal time.
32. FRIST!!! - March 20, 2007 11:51 AM
Turns out he's not as flexible as he looks in his movies.
33. p911gt10c - March 20, 2007 11:56 AM
WOA WOA WOA, LET'S PRIORITIZE HERE PEOPLE!
First things first: How badly damaged is the Porsche and how can the pap. pay for it??
34. guymorgan - March 20, 2007 11:58 AM
Do you have these photos of the starbucks dumpster? Can you give me the torrent?!, omg thank you.
I remember him being in a film version of Much ado about nothing, he was crap.
35. lickmybutt - March 20, 2007 11:59 AM
these photos arent even from the incident. it says the incident happened at 8:45 p.m. and its still daylight out in those pix. plus it says he was parallel parked and in those pix he is not. LAME.
once again... wouldnt the paps actually have pictures of the incident?
36. HollyJ - March 20, 2007 12:01 PM
His dad, from Hawaii, picked up an English showgirl while he was in Beirut. The showgirl ended up being Keanu's MOM. Hooker!! Keanu and his sis were both born in Beirut BTW.
He and his sister are Lebanese/American citizens of Irish/Portuguese/Chinese/Hawiian ancestory.
For god's sake, doesn't anyone stay put and breed locally?
37. leo - March 20, 2007 12:05 PM
Something doesn't add up here. Someone wanna try to explain how he can be inspecting his Porsche in broad daylight "...after the jump" that you claim occurred at 8:45"pm"....???
38. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:07 PM
His band really rocks though.... NOT! hahahahahaha. I couldn't help using the worthless 80's retarded humor.
39. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:11 PM
There has got to be something better than this out there. Even the so called picture of Lindsay's snacth is more entertaining than Keanu running over some stupid paparazzo.
Please bring back the pictures of Britney going crazy with the umbrella or the picture of Fergies bathing suite going up her ass.
Hey Veggi, can I dream about you tonight?
40. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:12 PM
of course. I drempt I was at work all last night. Then got up and went to work.... anything would be better than that.
41. Dan - March 20, 2007 12:13 PM
First.
42. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:14 PM
Veggi,
I have a better dream for you
43. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:18 PM
Oh, J to the double i mbo, you dirty little thing. Are we having an affair?
44. NotANiceGirl - March 20, 2007 12:19 PM
Do you think they'll add how to run over the paps to the Keanue Reeve's film class @ the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena?
45. HughJorganthethird - March 20, 2007 12:19 PM
How the fuck can you be that pasty white when you live in fucking California ?I live in the fucking arctic, right now anyway, and I've got a better tan than that.
46. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:20 PM
I won't tell if you won't
47. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:23 PM
Tan's aren't natural.
48. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:25 PM
I'd TAN his hide, and yours J!
49. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:28 PM
How the hell do you figure that Danielle? If you go out into the sun light, you skin turns brown. That is nature at work
Are you a all natural girl? Do you still have that 70's bush?
50. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:30 PM
Don't tease me Veggi!!! You are giving me very unnatural thoughts
51. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:31 PM
@49.
I posted at 47. End of discussion.
52. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:33 PM
Come on Danielle, tell us how natural you are.
53. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:34 PM
I'm naturally me bitch, now move the hell on.
54. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:35 PM
Unnatural thoughts, like a tan?
55. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:37 PM
Much better than a tan
56. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:39 PM
Danielle, We all knew you were a bitch and I will move the hell on when ever I please.
57. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:41 PM
Lovely play on words dear but, do ME a favor and....
Tell us what species you're NATURALLY from. Hmmm?
58. veggi - March 20, 2007 12:44 PM
Man, just when things were getting spicy, I have to go... but Jiimbo, don't think you're getting off that easy....
;)
59. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:45 PM
I'll bet you are naturally from the planet Uranus
60. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:46 PM
I will be here giving Danielle shit.
61. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:52 PM
You couldn't give me shit if you took a box of stool softeners.
Dream on.
62. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 12:56 PM
You are now where close to a dream. I would love to take a box of stool softeners if I knew it was all going to you. I bet you would get off on that.
63. PrettyBaby - March 20, 2007 12:56 PM
I'd give Keanu a rimjob just to revel in the funk.
64. danielle - March 20, 2007 12:59 PM
Thats nowhere, dumbass.
How about *getting off * the fish because, you're humor is non-existent.
65. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 1:04 PM
What is "nowhere" you dumb bitch? I am no where near your stinky fish smelling snatch so there is nothing to be "getting off" of
66. Fish Shack - March 20, 2007 1:04 PM
*ORDER UP, ORDER UP!*
danielle, your Boston Steamer is ready!

Semen Encrusted Snatch order to go for DanYELL!!
68. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:12 PM
Nowhere as in an insignificant place, as in "not anywhere".
Now, let's rephrase what your dumbass said:
"You are now where close to a dream".
Explain to ME what a *now where* is.
Come on...you can do it.
@66.
Classy.
69. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 1:13 PM
Jrzmommy, Do you really think something had sex with that? EEEEWWWWWW
70. guymorgan - March 20, 2007 1:13 PM
It is almost cute the way danielle trys to be witty and clever.
71. neo_maxie_zoom_dweebie - March 20, 2007 1:14 PM
danYELL is qualified to comment on humor like virgins are qualified to judge fucking.
72. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:16 PM
#71 - so...didn't get that judging gig, huh?
73. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:16 PM
Yes, her kids have about 4 or 5 different daddys.
74. neo_maxie_zoom_dweebie - March 20, 2007 1:18 PM
#72 Nice try, Wally. Thanks for playing.
75. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:18 PM
@70.
That's *tries* dear. Damn.
And what in the fuck's sake is going on here?
I'm chatting with JimHo and maxi pad, jizzdispenser and an unknown fan just pop outta *nowhere*.
Take notes JimHo.
76. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:18 PM
Hmmm....wonder how I did that---posting two posts simultaneously......Troooollll? You have some 'splaining to do!!!
77. whitegold - March 20, 2007 1:22 PM
#76 - I hope #72 was you and #73 was your troll...#72 was much funnier.
But anyways...so who here really thinks that the pap was just innocently minding his business, snapping some photos, when the evil KR came crashing down upon him in his car? Oh please. KR was probably in the middle of trying to back out of his parking spot, moving rather slowly, when this pap jumped out from around the corner and tried to take a pic. the pap bumped in to his car and then decided to drop on the ground and complain that he was in such pain and was badly hit. I think he was hoping some sort of lawsuit could come out of this.
78. FRIST!!! - March 20, 2007 1:23 PM
Is it wrong to start drinking this early? I mean it IS after noon....
And I AM still at work.....
Eh...what the hell
79. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 1:23 PM
I apologize Danielle, I was having so much fun giving you shit. I thought you misspelled a word. It was just a natural mistake
80. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:26 PM
No, alas, I've disappointed you whitegold. The Real Jrzmommy commented on the number of babydaddies.
81. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:26 PM
@80.
Lay off the Children's Tylenol hu.
82. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:27 PM
The number of babby daddies that YOU have?....or your mother?
83. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:29 PM
Gossipmeter.com is a cult that will try to get you to do animal porn.
84. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:29 PM
Now that's a scathing comeback.
85. Sheva - March 20, 2007 1:30 PM
Guy looks like a serial killer.
86. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 1:31 PM
Sounds like a fun place Jrzmommy
87. FRIST!!! - March 20, 2007 1:31 PM
Really??? I love animal porn!!!
Sorry, that was the vodka talking...
88. schack - March 20, 2007 1:31 PM
have you ever considered changing your name, danielle. it seems like, whenever you post, the same conversation with the same 4 people happens. i guess you must like it?
89. schack - March 20, 2007 1:32 PM
i wanna see some animal porn... i don't know where to find it!
90. whitegold - March 20, 2007 1:36 PM
#81 - aww, it makes me sad when you disappointment me and don't live up to your usual high standards...but at least your comment was still better than that killer insult in #83.
On an unrelated note, does gossipmeter really believe the best way to draw people in to their site is to piss them off with spam? Any curiosity I may have had in checking it out has been overcome by my annoyance for their "promotional" techniques. Oh well, guess that's my loss, right (and everyone else on here that agrees with my sentiment)?
91. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:36 PM
@89.
Well duh, why the hell else would I come on here?
92. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:37 PM
Go away 2k, please.
93. schack - March 20, 2007 1:40 PM
whitegold- i agree with you on the paris post! i accidentally wrote the wrong number. i totally get it. money is only potential power
94. NotANiceGirl - March 20, 2007 1:40 PM
SJTLQ's website recommended coming to a site like this and pissing people off to guarantee hits to your site. It didn't work out so well for her. gossipmeter.com should take a lesson!
95. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:41 PM
Sasquatch porn.

"HollyJ said: He and his sister are Lebanese/American citizens of Irish/Portuguese/Chinese/Hawiian ancestory. "
Nice try, he's maintains a Canadian citizenship and grew up/lives in Toronto.
98. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:43 PM
What the hell is it with you and squash? Geesh, find a corner and fuck it already.
99. YouRang - March 20, 2007 1:43 PM
Hi 90
Ask your mom where she works. Problem solved. Sorry Schack, You left the door wide the fuck open, I had to. I will now change my name to avoid the Hatfield VS McCoy battle that would otherwise begin.
100. schack - March 20, 2007 1:44 PM
in america we have a rule: famous canadians become americans upon becoming famous
101. Jiimbo - March 20, 2007 1:45 PM
Jrzmommy,
Do you have any of that Sasquatch porn? Any of you? I hear you HOT!!!
102. schack - March 20, 2007 1:46 PM
i left the door wide open hoping something awesome might stroll through!
103. FRIST!!! - March 20, 2007 1:47 PM
I downloaded some off Limewire once, schack. It was a woman doing a horse. I said WHOA!!!!!! hehe, get it?
104. schack - March 20, 2007 1:48 PM
lmao
was she in a harness or something?
105. wedgeone - March 20, 2007 1:48 PM
Jesus H. Christ on his throne!!!
I stay at arm's length for a week or so from the blog, and when I return I still see DamYell running around with her labia scraping across the pavement, having all of the nerve to correct the spelling in post #70, yet she says "you're humor" in #64! What the flying hell are you thinking you idiotic twatwaffle? You have to be more stupid than Paris Hilton, and I thought that to be impossible.
And of course, Wally the Fake Richport Gumboot Pink Penis Ass Ferret is still trolling like he's getting paid for it. Because he can't live life on his own, but must steal the identities of 80 people on this site.
May you be struck dead in a collision with Keanu Reeves' Porsche, after he mistakes you for a member of the "papaz".
Will this SITE ever get better? Will somebody please close the goddamm hole in TYPEKEY!!
106. NotANiceGirl - March 20, 2007 1:49 PM
@ 97: SJTLQ: Is Sara Jean the Lilac Queen. She got the smack down of the century on these boards b4 the server crashed. JRZ could tell you how bad it was. She's shut down every website and even her parents plead for her to be left alone already.
107. schack - March 20, 2007 1:50 PM
why don't you wedgeone in that goddamned hole, yourself? or don't you have the girth to fill it?
108. wedgeone - March 20, 2007 1:53 PM
If using a penis to plug a security hole in software had any chance of working, I'd be the first in line to try it.
Instead I have to continue suffering in DamYell's lack of humor & Wally's terrible impersonations.
109. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:54 PM
@106 refer to @108.
Thee end.
110. schack - March 20, 2007 1:55 PM
too bad you couldn't add a gong sound effect to that attempt at the last laugh
111. Go Have Fun - March 20, 2007 1:55 PM
HA! 107-- You should see the crappy fashion advice SJTLQ spews out on her website..the fashionable housewife. I don't got the link to it, but it's highly hilarious.
112. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:56 PM
To fake danielle,
Why don't you stop impersonating me, you dumb cunt?
First of all, even a child in grade 3 knows the difference between tans and tan's. Only an idiot would put an apostrophe in a word because it is plural. You aren't an idiot now, are you "danielle"?
Secondly, using words like "KeanEWW" is just plain stupid. You failed at trying to be clever, and simply came off as a dolt.
In fact, you are failing at life. So back away from the keyboard, grab a snack, then shoot yourself in the face.
Dumb ass.
113. danielle - March 20, 2007 1:56 PM

115. schack - March 20, 2007 1:58 PM
danielle, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. typos are typos. a slip of the finger! syntax and grammar, now those are usually a clear-cut case of error.
116. jrzmommy - March 20, 2007 1:59 PM
isn't a sin tax something you pay to the church?
117. guymorgan - March 20, 2007 1:59 PM
Oh dear God, I spelt tries wrong, you sure made a fool out of me Danielle...
118. danielle - March 20, 2007 2:00 PM
Like I said, t-r-o-l-l.
Ya know, you get them from time to time when you're famous.
Here's hoping you get one in the future.
119. whitegold - March 20, 2007 2:01 PM
#101 - hahaha, that's so damn true!!!
120. guymorgan - March 20, 2007 2:01 PM
Actually I think you make valued points about the superficial users so I think I will retract what I said.
121. schack - March 20, 2007 2:01 PM
#117. lmao. and the anti-smoking campaign.
122. veggi - March 20, 2007 2:03 PM

What the FUCK?!? Why do people get on here just to hey cunt bitch people? Hmmmmm....I was joking before about starting to drink early, but since I regularly visit the liquor store on my lunch break, I happen to have a bottle outside in my Lexus (aka crappy ass minivan)...I'll put some in my big gulp sprite. See? YOU GUYS ARE DRIVING ME TO DRINK!!! Just kiddin, I don't need an excuse...

Maybe if the stupid paparazzi got out of the way then they wouldn't fucken get hit! Idiots.
I don't think there is any truth to this but apparently he is involved with Jennifer Anniston at the moment. Over here we have a mag call "Womans Day" and the story is on the front cover! Anyone else know of this?????? Probably bullshit.

Keanu Charles Reeves (first name pronounced ki'anu) is a Canadian actor, born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He played Neo in the action film trilogy The Matrix, Kevin Lomax in The Devil's Advocate, and starring roles in Speed, Constantine and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. He played bass in a grunge band, Dogstar, during the 1990s and more recently in the band Becky
Reeves was born to Patricia Taylor, an English showgirl and costume designer who was working in Beirut when she met Reeves' father (Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., born 1942) at a local nightclub. His father was born in Hawaii the son of Charles Reeves, an Irish American from Tennessee, and Rose Miguel of Portuguese, Chinese and Hawaiian ancestry.[2] Reeves' father worked as an unskilled laborer and earned his GED while imprisoned in Hawaii for selling heroin at the Hilo airport. Reeves does not currently have any relationship with his biological father.[3]
Reeves was named after his uncle Henry Keanu Reeves. "Keanu" is a derivation of Reeves' great-great-uncle Keaweaheulu, whose name means "the soft breeze raising" in Hawaiian. When Reeves first arrived in Hollywood, his agent thought his first name was too exotic, so during the early days of his film career he was sometimes credited as K.C. Reeves, Norman Kreeves or Chuck Spadina (an avenue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
Reeves made his screen acting debut in Alberta, Canada, in a 1979 CBC production, Hanging In. Throughout the early 1980s, he appeared in commercials (including one for Coca-Cola), short films including the NFB drama One Step Away[8] and stage work in Toronto.
Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, 1989His first studio movie appearance was in the Rob Lowe ice hockey film Youngblood, which was filmed in Canada. In it, he played an ice hockey goalie. Shortly after the movie's release, Reeves obtained his green card and drove from Toronto to Los Angeles in his 1969 Volvo. His ex-stepfather Paul Aaron, a stage and television director, gave him a place to stay and got him Erwin Stoff as a manager and agent before he even arrived in Los Angeles.
After a few minor roles, he gained the notice of the critics in 1986's River's Edge, a teenage drama that received positive reviews. Following the film's success, he spent the late 1980s appearing in a number of movies aimed at teenage audiences, including Permanent Record, a dark film about teenage suicide, and the successful 1989 comedy, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, which (along with its 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) typecast Reeves somewhat during the next few years, as much of his subsequent portrayal in the press has been influenced by his portrayal of the comically airheaded character, Ted. Reeves was originally offered the role of Pvt. Chris Taylor in Platoon (1986) but turned it down as he disliked the violence involved; the role went to Charlie Sheen.[citation needed]
During the early 1990s, Reeves appeared in high-budget action films like Point Break and lower-budget independent films, including the well-received 1991 film, My Own Private Idaho, and the critically panned 1994 film, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.
In 1992, Reeves starred in Bram Stoker's Dracula, which was a box office success. However, his acting was criticized by many, and director Francis Ford Coppola claims that Reeves was only cast because he wanted a male character that teenagers could look up to. In 1994, Reeves also starred in the action film Speed, which was a commercial success and raised his profile, leading to his casting in films like Johnny Mnemonic and Chain Reaction, both of which failed at the box office.
Hitting a low in his career, Reeves then did the unthinkable and turned down the role of Jack Traven in the Speed sequel (which was ultimately a critical and financial disappointment). He was reportedly offered $11 million dollars for the sequel but opted instead to star in the horror/drama The Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino and Charlize Theron. Reeves deferred his salary for The Devil's Advocate so that Pacino would be cast, and he did the same for The Replacements, guaranteeing the casting of Gene Hackman. Returning to theatre in 1995, Reeves performed the title role in a Manitoba Theatre Centre production of Hamlet in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Keanu Reeves as Neo in The Matrix Reloaded, 2003His 1999 science fiction hit, The Matrix, re-established him as a Hollywood leading man after a few years of films that received only moderate box office success and mixed critical reception.
In between the first Matrix film and its sequels, Reeves appeared in several films that received mostly negative reviews and average box office grosses, including The Watcher, Sweet November and Hardball. However, the two Matrix sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions co-starring Carrie-Anne Moss, as well as his supporting role in the 2003 movie, Something's Gotta Give, co-starring Jack Nicholson and his 2005 horror-action film, Constantine, proved to be box office successes and brought Reeves back into the public spotlight. Movie producer Lauren Shuler Donner stated in a November 18-19, 2006 interview that writers are currently developing a script for Constantine 2. She claims that Keanu Reeves is willing to reprise his role as John Constantine.
On January 31, 2005, Reeves received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Reeves accompanied former Speed costar Sandra Bullock to the 2006 Academy Awards. This caused some controversy, as Bullock is married to motorcycle builder Jesse James. It was later revealed to be a publicity stunt to coincide with the release of their romantic film The Lake House.
His latest film, A Scanner Darkly, based on the science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick, co-stars Winona Ryder, Robert Downey Jr., and Woody Harrelson. It was released on July 7, 2006.
Personal life
In December 1999, Reeves' girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, gave birth to a stillborn daughter who was named Ava Archer Syme-Reeves. In April 2001, Syme was killed in a car accident. She was buried next to their daughter in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. Reeves was a pallbearer at Syme's funeral.
Keanu Reeves as Alex Wyler in The Lake House, 2006Reeves has never reconnected with his estranged biological father,[9] who served time in prison and was paroled after serving two years of a 10-year sentence for selling heroin at Hilo Airport in 1992.
Reeves enjoys riding motorcycles and coined the term "demon ride" to describe how he often rides with no headlights at night. On one of his "demon rides" in 1988, he crashed near Topanga Canyon and broke several ribs and ruptured his spleen; he has had an abdominal scar ever since ? when the paramedics arrived ? an emergency medical technician trainee dropped one end of the stretcher by mistake.
For nearly a decade following his initial rise to stardom, Reeves lived a vagabond existence in hotels, opting not to buy a house or find a permanent place of residence, despite earning millions. Reeves has lived in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles since 2003, but also has an apartment in New York City. Although it is commonly assumed that he believes in Buddhism because he studied the religion while filming The Little Buddha, he has said in interviews that he does not practice any one religion or have any one set of beliefs.[citation needed] After Syme's death, he said he doesn't believe that things happen "for a reason."[10]
Reeves is fond of chess, motorcycles, ice hockey, and table tennis.
Reeves as John Constantine in a promotional poster for Constantine, 2005He is left-handed, but plays the bass guitar right-handed and loves punk rock bands such as The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and The Clash, as well as legendary R&B singers such as Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding.
In a 1992 New Year's Eve party show, Reeves filled in on bass for punk rock band The Vandals while bassist Joe Escalante was at a wedding. He began playing the bass with rock band Dogstar, which has now gone "into hibernation." Reeves also had a part in New York thrash metal band Anthrax's "Safe Home" music video. More recently, he played bass in a band called Becky with former Dogstar drummer Rob Mailhouse, guitarist Paulie Kosta and singer Rebecca Lord. In early 2005, he announced that he was leaving the band and his musical career for good.
Reeves is reported to be very generous with his time and money, lending both to a variety of causes. He took a significant amount of the profits from his Matrix series and treated the 12 stuntmen who worked on the films to motorcycles, among other things

Apparantly this bearded douche was once homeless and living in a car before he became a shitty actor.
And in other news CNN reported that scientists in Russia have discovered that homelessness, hoboism or worthless teenage loser with a sign and a starbucks cup may be an actual gene much like the annoying fucktard gene that #159 has.
192. iamsosmrt - March 20, 2007 6:03 PM
#159 are you a virgin? Yaaaa you are.
Now, don't worry about it, it will all work out someday because you will definitely have sex with yourself and only yourself until the bitter wrinkly flacid end.
Oh, I forgot to mention I suck at consoling people.

Although the Porsche Carrera is older as mine '98 Camry,it looks better maintained.I think this old age woman which supposed to be the former Camry-owner probably thought a car needs as much maintainance as her rollator.
