Last Tuesday, I had a chance to see "Where the Wild Things Are." Visually the film is stunning; it integrates handheld camera shots in the appropriate moments

Actress Winona Ryder is at the center of a new controversy after reportedly losing $125,000-worth of borrowed Bulgari diamonds loaned to her for an awards ceremony appearance in Spain.

She's a humanitarian, a mother to four children (with two on the way), a partner to one of the sexiest men alive, and arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Actress Winona Ryder refused to feel guilty in the aftermath of her infamous 2001 shoplifting arrest, because she didn't harm anyone. The Girl, Interrupted star, who was convicted of trying to steal clothing from a Beverly Hills, California department store, insists painkillers she was taking for a broken arm were to blame for her bizarre behavior.

When you're an international superstar - when you're Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise, for example - it can be difficult for audiences to accept you in challenging roles, difficult for them to dissociate the persona from the performance. Lately this phenomenon also has been true of Angelina Jolie, with her well-documented adventures in adoption and globe-trotting with Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie says the enduring media perception of her as a dark femme fatale character is entirely false. The Girl, Interrupted star won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a patient in a mental hospital, and she used to wear a vial of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck.
