ALONG CAME A RYDER

Rumours abound that Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are currently swapping rather more than acting techniques. Or to be more specific, they are rutting like rabbits in the first week of April, according to a report by Star magazine. No doubt the offspring of this couple would be beautiful, but you wouldn't bet on them winning a Academy award if the parents were anything to go by.

The pair famously worked together on 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', the only film in living memory to have the original author spin out of his grave in sheer frustration. Keanu's accent and acting were so plastic that a better title would have been 'Bram Stoker's 'Spatlua'.

Now the pair are filming the Oscar-dodging 'The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee' and are reportedly getting on rather well on the set.

According to reports the pair are constantly hugging each other on set and spending time between takes in each other's trailers, no doubt going over their lines to see who can deliver the most wooden performance (my money is on Keanu, by a country mile).

Also, the pair have been spotted heading off to spend quality time at Keanu's luxury apartment in Manhatten.

Let's hope Keanu has a full checklist of clothes and soft furnishings at that place so he can confront his new lover if she makes a break for the door with a large collection of stolen items.
