Hot New Winona Ryders
Before Johnny Depp famously had a tattoo artist delete the “na” from his biceps, he had it right: “Winona Forever.” Everywhere we look these days, there’s another young brunette playing an ultrasarcastic, liberal-minded, sensitive slacker — the type of grunge Hepburn that Winona Ryder once made famous. Just watch Olivia Thirlby in The Wackness, Emma Stone in The Rocker, Hannah Bailey in American Teen, Ellen Page in Juno, Kat Dennings in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist — if you squint through Nick and Norah, you might mistake Dennings for Ryder herself. Both are five-foot-four-inch Jewish girls whose curvy top halves upend their bottom halves, and both, curiously, were home-schooled. Why the Winona-vitalization? Maybe it’s because America is starting to resemble the place it was when Winona schlepped a greasy Dave Pirner to the Oscars: The economy blows, grads can’t find jobs, even flannel is back. Meanwhile Ryder, after a brief detour through shoplifting ignominy, is sticking to the future. She’ll be in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek prequel, playing Spock’s mom. Shit, we’re old.

Kat Dennings
She made angst funny in ‘The House Bunny’ and became the thinking teen’s dream girl in ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,’ all while steering clear of the TMZ scene. Now Dennings is in demand and has her pick of projects — next up is ‘The Dream of the Romans’ with Olivia Thirlby (‘Juno’). But there’s one part of the Hollywood game that the 22-year-old still hasn’t mastered: red carpets. ”What am I supposed to do with my hands? I’ve been trying to figure it out. Every time I see a picture of myself, I’m like, ‘God, why did I…? Ugh!”’

Hey guys, remember we said we had a surprise coming?

The FANLISTING for Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is now up! It’s a great feel-good movie with a really catchy indie soundtrack, and best of all, of course, Kat plays title character Norah. She did a great job, and adds even more warmth and humour to the storyline. If you enjoyed the film, please do join the listing and show your appreciation. You can even link back to it with various buttons:

We just got a little heads up in our inbox that Kat made it to the Teen Vogue’s October list of the Ten Best Dressed! She’s made number 10 with her floral Dolce and Gabbana dress on the October 2nd Nick and Norah premiere, and is on the list with actresses like Camilla Belle, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Dakota Fanning, among others. It seems to have been a great month for Disney actresses, but then again with the premiere of HSM3, who’s surprised?

Someone shot a few candid pictures of Kat when she was out shopping with her mother in LA last night. There are ten of them uploaded in the gallery; just click on any of the pictures and it’ll bring you to the right album.
