When Winona Ryder isn’t being a kleptomaniac all the time, she’s… well… not being doing much of note other than her job as actress. Mercifully, she’s stopped being pretty-but-dull to start thrashing around wildly and hurling insults at Mel Gibson. She should write for hecklerspray.
Winona reveals that she once had an encounter with Mel Gibson where the actor made offensive homophobic and anti-Semitic comments.
No real surprise there then.
Winona, who loads of thirtysomethings still fancy, recalls an encounter with the stark raving mentalist Gibson a few years ago at a party where he carried on like he was a horrible hybrid of Bernard Manning and Joan Rivers.
Winona, who happens to be a Jew, said:
“I remember, like, fifteen years ago, I was at one of those big Hollywood parties. And he was really drunk. I was with my friend, who’s gay. He made a really horrible gay joke.
“And somehow it came up that I was Jewish. He said something about ‘oven dodgers,’ but I didn’t get it. I’d never heard that before. It was just this weird, weird moment. I was like, ‘He’s anti-Semitic and he’s homophobic.’ No one believed me!”
Perhaps Mel Gibson should consider becoming a stand-up comedian, passing off his colourful views as being post-modern, like Frankie Boyle who is currently doing his best to set fire to his career by being the most pointlessly offensive person on the planet in the name of being free to make jokes about anything.
Of course, Winona isn’t perfect and pale. Aside from the whole shoplifting thing, where she stole 6000 spanners from a Kent B&Q, has struggled with prescription drugs.
In fairness to Winona, prescription drugs are incredibly tasty and moreish.
She slurred:
“I got really wiped out, and I had a semi-breakdown. I wasn’t sleeping, I didn’t know who I was because of different roles.
“Those things. I think they’re more powerful than people think. People think, ‘Oh, heroin’s the hardest,’ but pills can be…
“I broke my arm in two places. For about a month, I had to take it. But then I just kept taking it for, like… maybe three more weeks. But the thing I do remember is that once my arm was OK and they were still there, you kind of like… “
Like what? Gobble them down like a famished heron stood in a fish pond?
Still, better to be zoned out on tablets than getting recorded while ranting racial slurs and apparently punching Oksana Grigorieva’s teeth out, eh?

It’s not what it looks like, I was just researching a role as a feeble actress who’s addicted to painkillers and likes to steal stuff.
