Countdown: OK!’s Hottest Vampire Couples
February 26th, 2009
Blame it on Béla Lugosi, Bram Stoker, Anne Rice… the list of those who have brought sex appeal to the undead has captivated readers and movie audiences for centuries — especially when it comes to the undeniable attraction between the bloodthirsty vamp and his mortal victim!
OK! decided to put together some of our favorite vampire couples through the years. Call it our "sexiest couples" list with a biting twist!
#1:
Who can deny the sexual heat between True Blood’s Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer)? The brooding centuries-old Bill falls for the naive and virginal waitress, Sookie, and to say that sparks fly — well, take a look for yourself!
#2
The next hot vampire couple is a blast from the past. David Boreanaz made the undead cool–even something to be desired as the hunky and tortured vampire Angel on t.v.’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) herself couldn’t help falling in love with this bloodsucker with a debonair flair, spiking the show’s ratings and even landing David with his own Vampy spinoff, Angel.
#3
Next on our list, a recent favorite, the gorgeous Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Twilight! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart take teen angst to a whole new level as Edward (a century-old vampire trapped in a 17-year-old heartthrob’s body) can’t decide whether he wants to kill or marry his mortal obsession, Bella. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the sequel, New Moon!
#4
Bram Stoker’s Dracula enchanted movie audiences with its haunting love story between a crusades fighter who sells his soul to the devil after losing his beloved queen. Centuries later, the count, now the immortal Dracula (Gary Oldman) thinks he’s found his dead queen reincarnated in a 19th century girl, Mena (Winona Ryder) and he will stop at nothing to get her back.
#5
Next on our list: the infamous pairing of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as lonely bloodsuckers in Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire. While technically both leading men play vamps, Cruise’s Lestat first sees a human Louis (Pitt) and becomes obsessed with him, later deciding to make him his immortal life partner.
#6
Who could forget the ’80s cult classic, The Lost Boys? When Michael (Jason Patric) and his brother move to a new town, he falls for the beautiful Star (Jami Gertz). But what he doesn’t know is that she has a terrible secret and an even darker group of friends who prey on the living!
#7
Aaliyah wowed critics and audiences with her disturbing portrayal as Queen Akasha, a powerful vampire with the ability to seduce–and seduce she does in Queen of the Damned, luring the young, just turned vampire Lestat to be her King.

#8
In Underworld, Kate Beckinsale plays Selene, a sexy vampire warrior entrenched in a war between the vampire and werewolf races. She ends up falling for Michael (Scott Speedman), a werewolf who longs for the war to end.
#9
In 1983’s The Hunger, a young Susan Sarandon falls prey to the worldly wiles of vampire couple David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. And when Bowie’s bloodsucker falls apart (literally), the path is clear for Susan and Catherine do more than a little bit of nocturnal canoodling.
Winona Ryder: No Gem Thief
December 3rd, 2008
Friends of Winona Ryder are slamming reports that the ’90s actress is under investigation for $125,000 of missing jewels.
The Reality Bites star, who was hospitalized in London after falling ill on a transatlantic flight on Nov. 19, borrowed a diamond Bulgari bracelet and ring to wear to a Marie Claire event in Madrid, Spain, on Nov. 20.
According to European newspaper reports, a police investigation was launched after the 37-year-old checked out of her hotel leaving no trace of the loaned trinkets.
However, a source close to the beleaguered star, who was arrested for shoplifting from an L.A. store in 2001, tells OK! the gems went missing after Winona left.
“The Marie Claire folks said, ‘Leave everything in the hotel room, and we’ll collect it,’ ” the source says. “Everything but the jewelry was there when Marie Claire went to get the belongings. It’s an issue between the magazine and the hotel. Winona’s not involved.”
Winona Ryder Hospitalized
November 19th, 2008
A rep for Winona Ryder has confirmed that the actress made a quick visit to a London hospital earlier Wednesday after becoming ill on a flight to Heathrow Airport.
”She’s fine now,” explains Mara Buxbaum, a spokesperson for the Heathers star. "She did fall ill on a flight and as a precautionary measure, was taken to a hospital. She was there maybe an hour and was released. The bottom line is she is in good health."
According to the folks at British Airways, Ryder’s flight from L.A. to Heathrow was given priority landing at the London airport because a female passenger required medical attention.
"Our cabin crew looked after the female passenger as much as they could onboard and our passenger services staff also accompanied her to the local hospital,” reads a statement from the airline. "We wish her well."

No On-Set Romance for Keanu & Winona
May 22nd, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
Inside the current issue of tasteless tabloid Star there’s a "news" item about how actors Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder are getting romantic, embracing each other and spending lots of time together in their trailers on the Connecticut set of their film
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. That would be really interesting — if there was even one ounce of truth to it.
Well, technically it is true that both stars are filming this movie, but that’s where reality ends in this story.
First, one insider on the film confirms to OK! that there aren’t any trailers on the set for Keanu and his rumored lady love to retire to. And what about them getting cozy during their time together on the set? According to another source, the non-couple haven’t even been on-set at the same time, making it physically impossible for them to embark on a public hug-fest in front of the cast and crew.
Couch Potato: Dirty Jobs’ Mike Rowe
October 23rd, 2007
I like my men dirty. So I couldn’t resist having Mike Rowe, star of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs, stop by the office. The show is celebrating its 150th show tonight by hosting a brown-tie gala event for some of its most memorable guests. “Our guests are being chaffuered in on garbage trucks and we’ve rolled out the nice brown carpet,” Mike shared. “It’s everything a celebrity would hate, and secretly we love it.”
Mike’s daily descent into the country’s grittiest gigs has made him some A-list fans, including Luke Perry and Winona Ryder. “A makeup artist I was doing a shoot with had worked with Winona the day before and told me that she had made some dirty job suggestions for me,” Mike said. Lifestyle expert Sandra Lee swears that Mike is the sexiest man on TV. “I’ve been covered in a lot of poo from a lot of species, including ours,” Mike laughed, adding that stepping into jobs he knows little about, “makes me vulnerable, and I don’t try and hide it. It may be that.”
Sitting next to the 6’ ft. host with the bellowing baritone voice, I have to say Mike does clean up nicely. His secret? “Water as hot as you can stand it. Scrub with lava soap till its pink and when it hurts, do a little more.” He’s also got great family values, dedicating his series his to his dad and grandfather, men who worked with their hands on a daily basis. “They fished, farmed and crawled through rivers of stinky stuff,” said the former opera singer and actor, who sheepishly admitted that he initially got into performing because “I didn’t want to do the kind of jobs my grandfather and father had… Now I’m doing the same things they used to do. So I’m up to my neck in irony.”
That’s better than a lot of other things Mike’s been up to his neck in! Dirty Jobs, 150th anniversary, airs Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. on Discovery.
The 14 Most Entertaining Celebrity Meltdowns
September 13th, 2007
Last Sunday, while Britney Spears semi-lip synched and clumsily plodded her way across the stage of the Video Music Awards in a too-revealing costume, some in the audience clapped politely, some sat in awe, but most had one eye on their performance and another on their Blackberry as they messaged friends around the world to share in their "What the…?" moment with the millions of stunned viewers at home who instantly began cracking jokes about everything from her weight to her hair. The phrase "It’s Britney, bitch" became an insta-punch line for all of America.
But Sunday’s not-exactly-a-performance was only the icing on the cake for a year that has seen the platinum-selling singer have a baby, divorce her husband, shave her head, enter rehab facilities all across the western hemisphere and… yeah, let’s not forget about the panties (though she certainly did!)
Alas, the pop princess can take comfort in the knowledge she’s hardly alone on the list of celebrities who’ve lost their way. Her faltering forefathers (and mothers) have blazed a trail of disgrace that not even her sins on the Sin City stage could top. And — Brit should take this as a positive —some of their careers have lived to tell the tale. (Of course… some haven’t.)
