Was It Winona's Drugs?

November 21, 2008 at 9:15 AM | by egw | 2 Comments

Two days ago we wrote about actress Winona Ryder's taking suddenly sick on an LAX-LHR British Airways flight. Now rumors are surfacing that Ryder didn't get the flu or food poisoning--it was the Xannies! Unless it's just a bunch of Heatheresque media outlets trying to ruin her life, that is.

Ryder, who was headed to London to work on the new "Star Trek" prequel (in which she plays Spock's mom), was released after she had her stomach pumped, but according to Gawker--who would know--that's a common treatment for a Xanax overdose or taking it in combination with something you shouldn't, like alcohol. Of course, if Winona truly hates flying, the tranquilizers could have been a big help in surviving that long-haul flight, but they're a double-edged sword.

We're not airplane-drug experts, so let us just say: See your doctor. Ryder has turned up quite well in Madrid where she attended a Marie Claire event on Thursday night.

Winona Ryder Gets Sick On British Airways Flight

November 19, 2008 at 2:45 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

There's your urge to purge: Actress Winona Ryder was taken off a LA-London flight today by medics after getting sick on the plane.

Ryder was on British Airways Flight 282 when she fell to an unspecified illness, which led the pilot to request to be bumped up in the landing queue so she could get medical attention. She was taken to a hospital but discharged a few hours later. Get well soon! We don't want to dream of a world without Winona.
