Apr 17 2009Gwyneth Paltrow not loved by all? Impossible!


Gwyneth Paltrow took to GOOP to write about a "frenemy" who was surprisingly not enamored by all-things Gwyneth. Clearly, this person must be Satan:

Back in the day, I had a "frenemy" who, as it turned out, was pretty hell-bent on taking me down. This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restrained myself from fighting back. I tried to take the high road. But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and...happiness. There went the high road.

Page Six suggests the "frenemy" is Winona Ryder who shared an apartment with Gwyneth and competed with her for the lead in Shakespeare in Love. I was going to say it was Madonna, but everyone knows she simply feasts upon the flesh of her enemies. Ha! I was way off.

Nov 28 2008Winona Ryder crime spree continues?


What did Winona Ryder have to be grateful about this Thanksgiving? Probably the fact that her celebrity status allows her to get high out of her mind on goofballs, swipe whatever she wants and pretty much walk away from it all without legal repercussions. Fresh from her Xanax-fueled airplane collapse last week, Ryder, who has a history of "forgetting" to pay for things, apparently got a sweet, sweet discount on $125,000 worth of diamond jewelry over the weekend. The New York Post reports:

Sticky-fingered actress Winona Ryder mysteriously lost a diamond-encrusted bracelet and ring worth more than $125,000, according to a published report.
Ryder told Bulgari jewelers that she misplaced their gems, which had been out on loan, after wearing them at a Marie Claire bash in Madrid on Sunday, according to the French celebrity-news magazine Voici.
The "Girl, Interrupted" star - convicted in 2002 of shoplifting in Beverly Hills - claimed she lost the precious stones after handing them in an envelope to her hotel's front desk for safe keeping.
But Voici reported no hotel surveillance cameras captured Ryder giving the jewels to front-desk personnel.
Bulgari has asked police in Madrid to investigate, according to Voici.
A representative for the actress did not return phone and e-mail messages seeking comment last night.
A US-based spokeswoman for the famed Italian jeweler confirmed that the company had loaned gems to Marie Claire magazine for event organizers to then lend to celebrity partygoers.
The Bulgari representative declined to discuss Ryder or say whether any jewels were missing.

Gotta love the Hollywood-size sense of entitlement at work here. But if Winona really wants to stay fresh and vital as an artist, she needs to expand her repertoire. It would be nice to see Ryder in a bowler hat and fake mustache out on the Atlantic City boardwalk, bilking naive passersby with a Three Card Monte scam. Or a mass e-mail offering to share her vast family fortune, if you'll just provide your bank-account information so she can transfer the money out of her war-torn region of Beverly Hills. Come on, Winona; put on your thinking cap! Or pop a few Oxy-Contins. Same difference.

Mar 21 2008Winona 'Klepty McStealcrap' Ryder strikes again!


NEWSFLASH: Winona Ryder still loves her some shoplifting. This report from a week ago slipped under the radar of most outlets. But fortunately I found out, and, shit, I'll report anything. Right, Chocolate Rain Kid? Anyway, here's the scoop as reported on Janet Charlton's Hollywood. Love your chews, baby! [Editor's Note. It's actually Charleston Chews. Not Charlton. Way to be, Janet.]:

Security stopped the shopper, who turned out to be none other than Winona Ryder! She showed the guard her receipt and he proceeded to check her bag. There were a couple of makeup items that were not paid for. Wide-eyed Winona said “I don’t know how that happened” and she quickly paid for the makeup before braving the exit once again.

Remind me to make sure the china cabinet is locked the next time Winona Ryder stops over. I don't need her stealing my Darth Vader collectable plates. In the meantime, I have no idea who any of these other people are in these pictures. But I'm sure they went home missing a wallet, watch, jewelry and gold fillings. Seriously, she's that good - except in retail stores. Apparently sensor tags confuse and baffle the Winona.

Thanks to Bonnie for the tip. You stole my heart and, also, my social security number. I'm gonna need that back.
