Winona Ryder: everyone thinks I was jealous of Angelina Jolie, but I wasn't: PHOTO
Winona Ryder finds herself in a strange position in Hollywood. Once one of the most in-demand actresses, the 38-year-old finds herself taking what amounts to odd jobs in independent films and the occasional studio picture. She's not a lead actress anymore, but I'm not sure she even wants to be. My full disclosure is that I once loved Winona with a passion. At one point in my teenage years, Winona was my favorite actress, the woman whose pixie-like beauty and killer body I wished was mine. I...

  Winona Ryder  tells BlackBook  that she was responsible for Angelina Jolie getting the "Girl, Interrupted" role that won her a 1999 Oscar. "I fought very hard for her to have that part," she says.

Winona Ryder Talks About Her Real -Girl, Interrupted'
I find it a little ironic that people expect us to be shocked about the fact that Winona Ryder spent time in a psychiatric Hospital. The only thing I am surprised about is that she isn’t still in there. Though, perhaps she says it best herself when she explains: “What I found so interesting was that if you did something sort of normal-crazy, like taking a bottle of Aspirin, you were locked up for years. Now, they won't hold you if you say you're schizophrenic and you're going to...

Cops Break Up Ring of Celebrity Thieves. Amazingly, None Of Them Are Named Winona Ryder
Cops say the thieves were reading blogs just like this one to find out when celebs were out of town. God, I feel so violated. A group of celeb-obsessed teens - who have been charged with felony first-degree residential Burglary for robbing a string of stars, including Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge - got a high off of stealing from the rich and famous, police say. Police say the suspects drafted a list of designer clothes and jewelry. They then hit celebrity blogs and Web sites, looking for...

Winona Ryder does not envy Angelina Jolie
Winona Ryder wants to clarify that she does not feel jealous of Angelina Jolie for winning Academy Award. Both of them acted in the same movie,`Girl, Interrupted` in 1999. She said "I was hurt that people thought that. Everyone assumed I was really jealous because I thought this would be my vehicle. We said from the very beginning that the actress who played Lisa (Jolie`s part) would probably win an Oscar, because it was the big, great, showy part. I fought very hard for her to have that part."...

Blazers vs Nuggets - Hot Live Blog Action: PHOTO
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Denver Nuggets in a really important basketball game. The reason tonight is so important—other than it being Winona Ryder's birthday (Happy 37th, babe.)—is because the Northwest Division will most likely come down to Portland and Denver, and the margin between the two teams will be slimmer than Winona in Jarmusch's Night on Earth . Since someone has to win the division—and it ain't gonna be Oklahoma...

Before They Were Swans: Young Winona Ryder
One of my favorite things of all time is seeing pictures of celebrities before they were famous. For example, finding a red carpet photo of a pre-sexpot Megan Fox from approximately 5 years ago filled me with such glee, that it should probably be illegal. I mean, how else are we going to figure out who's had work done and who hasn't? So to kick off our gallery of awkward "before they were famous" pictures, we have a yearbook photo of a short-haired, boyish Winona Ryder before she was all glamorous an

Jon Murders Kate Gosselin? Reality Does Bite!
In a move reminiscent of something you would see on FOX’s Family Guy, Law & Order is set to pull straight from the gossip rags on an upcoming episode. The venerable series will air an episode entitled “Reality Bites” that has nothing to do with Winona Ryder and a whole lot to do with Jon and Kate Gosselin… or so it would seem. In the show a ripped-from-the-headlines divorcing couple (ala Jon & Kate) will be wrapped up in a murderous plot with the victim being a...

Winona Ryder opens up to BlackBook
Winona Ryder is back in the spotlight, opening up to BlackBook magazine. In the interview, Ryder, who rarely gives interviews, talks about her life. Some excerpts: On giving interviews: "It's weird. The whole concept of an interview. To hold someone accountable for what they've said or done when they were younger is bizarre. We evolve, we change - at least I hope we do." On the death of her friend, Heath Ledger: "What happens to you when you die? Does your energy dissipate? Is there something whole
