Winona Ryder Engaged to Just Dating Male Version of Winona Ryder
I was just on my way here to tell you about how everyone’s favorite Not-Heather and celebrity shoplifter Winona Ryder is engaged to Blake Sennett, the guitarist for the band that everyone thinks is just a person, Rilo Kiley. From what I have read about this non-event, celebrity and gossip bloggers seem shocked that no one knew they are dating (let alone that they might be engaged.) I just say that it’s not so much that no one knows, but that no one really cares. Do they? I mean, I dig some of Ryder’s movies, but her career really tanked after the whole shoplifting debacle. And Rilo Kiley is a one of those hip, niche bands whose fans generally are people more likely to listen to NPR and watch Heroes than pay attention to celebrity gossip.
As far as I am concerned, the only interesting part of this is that Ryder and Sennett look like they could almost be the same person. Check out this picture borrowed from Perez Hilton:
Is it just me or does she seem surprised to be dating someone shorter than her rather than someone with white-guy dreads or someone with her name tattooed on his arm?
Whatever. It sure does seem like Winona likes her some rock and rollers though, doesn’t she? In the past she’s dated Dave Pirner (of Soul Asylum) and Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters.) And she has dated some actors with rock and roll-type attitudes, like Johnny Depp (of the famous “Winona Forever” tattoo) and Matt Damon (of the Jason Bourne things-go-kablooey movies). There’s a Primus joke in here somewhere, but I just can’t quite find it.

Can you believe it’s been almost 20 years since Heather’s came out? Damn, I feel old but Winona looks even older.
