In non Lindsay Lohan DUI news, Winona Ryder (the original pill-popping starlet often in trouble with the law) has been showing up in the public eye more and more lately — the star just hit the premiere of her new flick, ‘The Ten,‘ in the Big Apple last night.
The ’90s pin-up girl, who bundled up in a black knit cap and cream-colored coat (all Marc Jacobs, of course) for the NYC red carpet premiere, has been keeping a low profile, but after a return to the big screen with ‘A Scanner Darkly’ in 2006, the talented star is ready to get back in the spotlight with no less than three movies due out this year: ‘The Ten,’ ‘Sex and Death 101′ and ‘The Last Word.’

Almost six years after being videotaped ripping security sensors off items and shoving them into a bag at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, 35-year-old Winona Ryder (clad in Marc Jacobs) graces August’s Annual Age Issue of Vogue magazine.
After suffering years of bad PR and a community service stint, Winona has three small movie comedies coming: ‘The Ten’, ‘Sex and Death 101′ and ‘The Last Word’ costarring Ray Romano.
Winona on her shoplifting arrest: “The attention was what was embarrassing. It was the December after Sept. 11. … So much attention was being paid to me, when we had just been attacked, and there was all this really important news going on.”
Winona on what was happening in her life before getting arrested: “Two months prior to that, I broke my arm in two places, and the doctor … was giving me a lot of stuff (Oxycodone, not to be confused with OxyContin), and I was taking it at first to get through the pain. And then there was this weird point when you don’t know if you are in pain but you’re taking it. Have you ever taken painkillers? It isn’t a reckless (state), like you’re out of your head. It’s just confusion.”
Winona on family support: “No one (in my family) ever got angry with me. Concerned, yes, but not concerned with a drug problem or anything. Because after that night I pretty much didn’t ever. … If you are ever arrested, you can’t ever do that again. I didn’t have this tremendous sense of guilt because I hadn’t hurt anyone. … Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience.”
Winona on relationships and children in her future: “It’s this weird pressure that I probably shouldn’t even talk about. You know how people ask, ‘Who is the love of your life?’ God, I hope I haven’t met that person yet, in a way, because I’m single. I hope I haven’t had that, since that would be sad.”

He’s known for his tough guy monologues, but Al Pacino turned into a big softie when he tried to deliver the perfect speech at the 35th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute to Al Pacino.
The ‘Scarface’ legend was lost for words recently when he accepted a lifetime achievement award. In what was a clearly an emotional moment for the actor, he took to the Hollywood stage to accept the trophy from fellow grade A thespian, Sean Penn, and announced: “I need a character,” after not finding the words to express what he wanted to say.
Among those offering their congratulations during the dinner were Andy Garcia, Samuel L. Jackson and Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx, who appeared with Al in ‘Any Given Sunday’ and described him as “the greatest actor in the world.”
No arguments here.
