Winona Ryder made a rare public outing with boyfriend Blake Sennett, a guitarist in the indie rock band Rilo Kiley, at the fall 2008 Valentino fashion show in Paris. The usually reclusive star shared with Women’s Wear Daily that she and Sennett have been working on a film together entitled Water Pill. In addition, Ryder will soon start filming The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Winona has had a history of romances with rockers ranging from Soul Asylum’s Dave Priner to Counting Crows’ Adam Duritz, prompting former BFF Courtney Love to remark, “You’re no-one in music until you have feuded with me or until you sleep with Winona”. Do you think Blake and Winona will last? Discuss!

Reality Bites For Vulcans

This has to be the winner of the 2007 Best Casting News contest – if that were to exist. Paramount recently announced that none other than Heathers starlet Winona Ryder has been cast as Spock’s mother in 2008’s Star Trek, the big-budget attempt to resurrect the dormant franchise. Ryder with Vulcan ears? Awesome. Though according to Star Trek lore, Spock’s mother was actually human, so she’ll probably look more Autumn in New York than Leonard Nimoy. As far as the film itself is concerned, hopefully Alias and Mission: Impossible 3 helmer J.J. Abrams can breathe some life into the series with his fresh-faced cast.
