About
Winona Ryder |
|
This talented actress has graced
the screen and entertainment news for the past two decades, thanks to her
roles in more than 25 films and her comprehensive dating history, which is
probably just as long as her movie credits. Winona Ryder emerged as one of
the most celebrated actresses of her generation. Adept at playing characters
ranging from depressed, angst-ridden goths to Edith Wharton debutantes, the
saucer-eyed, porcelain-skinned Ryder has attained critical respect in
addition to widespread popularity.
Winona's sexiness is very discreet. It's obvious that being sultry isn't one
of her priorities in life and that's why we find her so hot. It is also the
reason why periodicals like FHM, Empire and Stuff have often ranked her
among the sexiest women in the world. We also like the fact that she claims
to not be attracted to older men like Richard Gere. Hey, it's one less guy
for us to beat up to get to her.
"In high school, I dressed up as every James Bond girl. I was a teenage
Pussy Galore." -Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder's Birthday |
Ryder was born in and named after the city of Winona, MN, on October 29,
1971. The daughter of communal hippies and the goddaughter of LSD guru
Timothy Leary, she grew up on a commune in Northern California. Ryder's
family moved to Petaluma when she was ten; following regular abuse from her
classmates, who targeted her for her unconventional, androgynous appearance
(she was once jumped by a group of boys who had mistaken her for a gay boy),
she was home schooled. At the age of 11, she joined the American
Conservatory Theatre, and was soon trying out for movie roles. An audition
for the part of Jon Voight's daughter in Desert Bloom failed to yield a role
but did land the actress an agent, and at the age of 14, Ryder -- who had
changed her last name from Horowitz -- made her film debut in Lucas (1986).

| Winona Ryder Gets Naked to Save Your Ass |

Skin cancer
isn't very good. People die from it, and there's lots of other bad
things that go with it too.
However, I always try to look on the bright side. Well, not always...
More like rarely... Let's just say that there's finally is a bright side
to skin cancer. And that bright side is Winona Ryder Naked.
That's right. In an effort to help raise awareness for the disease,
Winona Ryder posed nude for t-shirts and posters in which she is covered
only with the words "Protect the Skin You're In" and "Save Your Ass".
The ad campaign and t-shirts are featured in Marc Jacobs stores, and
also include shots of other celebrities, including Naomi Campbell,
Christy Turlington, and Dita Von Teese.
So, what have we learned today? Skin cancer: Bad. Winona Ryder naked:
Good. |

Winona Ryder and her Cleavage are Back |
It
seems that ever since that little shoplifting incident, its subsequent
trial, and the ensuing media scandal, Winona Ryder has been keeping a
low profile.
Thankfully, Winona Ryder is back, and she's brought her breasts with
her. Sure, it's hard for her to go anywhere without them, but she
doesn't usually put them out on display so much.
And speaking of Winona's breasts being on display, don't forget that
you'll be able to see them |

| Vanity Fair Oscar Party Mega Picture Post |

While everybody else is going crazy over the act that Brokeback Mountain
lost the Best Picture award, I really couldn't care less. I think it's
amazing how Hollywood has convinced us that these awards shows matter in way
at all, but they have, so you have to at least give them credit for that.
No, I think award shows are ridiculous, and they invariably suck.
Thankfully, award shows also mean parties, and parties mean more pictures of
hot celebrities in sexy dresses. It's crazy how these actresses manage to
change from one dress to another so quickly. It's almost like Clark Kent
ripping off one evening gown, to reveal Superman dressed in another gown
underneath. How's that for Brokeback!?
My personal favourite in this bunch is Kate Bosworth, but you can check out
all the lovelies this year from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party
