Sorry folks. It seems the original Wino fooled us all into thinking there was a chance. Unfortunately, word from the man behind the camera, director Michael Lehmann, is that no sequel for Heathers is in the works at all!

Though Winona Ryder swore to God that the sequel was happening, Michael reveals he has spoken to writer Dan Waters, who admitted he knew nothing about a sequel.

Michael explains: "I know there’s no script and no plans to do the sequel."

Damn! Well, why not we ask?

Michael answers:

"It’s funny to me. I love Heathers and I loved doing that movie. I’m very proud of it, so if it gets brought up, I’m happy. Generally, though, I don’t like sequels at all. If the movie’s good the first time, why bother? With something like The Matrix, for example, it feels like a trilogy, or with a comic-book movie, those movies were based on something that was created in a serial format. So a movie as specific as Heathers, which took place in a specific time and specific place and in which many of the characters got killed off, I never thought it made sense to see a sequel."

Or maybe you're just too damn lazy to use that seemingly creative brain of yours to think up a way to do a sequel. If Winona can whip up some ideas, it shouldn't be too hard!

What do y'all think? Should a sequel happen?

Hollywood's famous klepto confirms that the 1988 cult classic Heathers is a go for a sequel!

Winona Ryder explains in a new interview that the reason for all the hush-hush about deets is due to the writer Dan Waters and director Michael Lehman. She says they "don't want to talk about."

Hm, why all the secrets?

Well, the original Wino did one exciting tidbit out: Christian Slater is BACK!!!

Honestly, it wouldn't be the same without him. But how can that be exactly?

Wino explains: "Christian [Slater] has agreed to come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character."

Alright, alright, we can see it. But now we'd like to know WHEN we can see it!

Are U excited about the sequel?

Gwyneth Paltrow has used the latest GOOP newsletter to shit talk about a "frenemy" Paltrow was once total besties with!

Meow!

Says Gwyneth:

Back in the day, I had a "frenemy" who, as it turned out, was pretty hellbent on taking me down. This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deept upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restained myself from fihting back. I tried to take the high road. But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and… happiness. There went the high road. So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don't like? Or someone you DO like? Or someone you don't KNOW? I once asked the editor of a tabloid newspaper why all of the stories about a famous British couple had a negative bent. He said that when the headline was positive, the paper didn't sell. Why is that? What's wrong with us? I asked the sages to shed a little light.

Here's to washing our mouths out with soap…

Love,
Gwyneth

Hmmm!

Whoever could GOOP-y be talking about????

Our money's on Wino forever!

Good news for all of you die-hard Heathers fans!

The 1988 dark comedy is being turned into a musical!!!!!

The production is being developed by the director of Race to Witch Mountain, Andy Fickman.

Fickman and crew have even been doing readings this week to test it all out. And, in the readings, Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell played the lead with Christian Campbell as J.D.

As for Denise Di Novi, who produced the movie, she will be executive producing the musical.

And in keeping with the original feeling of the movie, Fickman also spoke with the movie's writer, Dan Waters, in order to "to make sure we were on the same page."

Fickman added, "He understood that our goals were to be creatively attuned to his original work."

The show should be ready for a full regional production by 2010, then followed by a Broadway run.

Exciting!!!!

The original Wino is in legal trouble again!

According to the UK media, actress/accused shoplifter Winona Ryder is under investigation for 'losing' $125,000 worth of diamond encrusted jewelry loaned to her for a Marie Claire event in Spain earlier this month.

Wino (1.0) has reportedly blamed the hotel staff for the loss.

She said she gave the Bulgari bracelet and ring to the hotel staff for safekeeping.

Uh huh. Sure, Wino!

But, hotel management have said they have no surveillance footage showing her handing over the jewels.

The people at Bulgari have supposedly called in the police to investigate.

Wino (1.0) has had a crap month. First there was the alleged overdose on a London-bound flight and now this jewelry debacle.

Sheesh!

Get yourself together, (1.0)!

A spokesman for the jeweler refused to comment to the Brit media.

And, no surprise, Wino's mouthpiece was 'not available'.

As we mentioned yesterday, Winona Ryder was treated at a hospital in London after passing out twice on a British Airways flight from a reported Xanax overdose.

Ryder had her stomach pumped and was released shortly after.

And in her first public appearance since the incident, Wino made her way to Madrid for the Marie Claire Prix De La Moda 2008 fashion event on Thursday.

The 37 year-old even managed to shoplift win a Marie Claire fashion award.

But, thankfully, Ryder was looking much better, especially considering her recent hospital visit.

Nice to see she could pull it together so quickly.

Let's just hope she doesn't OD on her flight back home!

Winona Ryder was rushed to the hospital after collapsing twice on a British Airways flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow yesterday. The Boeing 747 was forced to make a "priority landing" after an alleged accidental overdose of Xanax caused the shoplifting actress to faint in first class.

A witness said she turned a "deathly shade of pale" before fainting.

It is believed that Winona took the pills to treat her fear of flying.

She was checked into Hillingdon Hospital under an alternate identity, where her stomach was pumped.

Yikes!

But…. she's okay, as she was discharged last night and then flew to another European city.

Feel better!
