For someone who isn't addicted to the limelight, I suppose fame would be a drag. Keanu Reeves admitted that it's the one part of his profession he could do without.

"Fame is a drag. The paparazzi culture is more pervasive that it used to be - ‘let’s watch the actor pump gas’.

But it isn't all negative now is it? Keanu realizes that because he is an actor, he gets to live the life he really wants to while still having the time and energy to start charitable foundations.

"On the positive side, it’s nice not to have to worry about bills. Money buys you the freedom to live your life the way you want. I’ve been able to earn a really good living and start a charity foundation, which is nice."

And completely off topic, but is there one actor that Keanu is "jealous" of?  Guess which role Keanu wishes he snagged?

" I had a little actor envy when Hugh Jackman got to play Wolverine and I didn’t. The claws are cool and I liked his fortitude and honour."

Keanu Reeves has been making the talk show rounds promoting his new movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" which I think is a nice change from his normal hermit like lifestyle. :) Here he is waving at fans as he enters The Late Show with David Letterman in his normal jeans, coat and scruffy facial hair. 

Back in his, "Speed" days most of us thought he was a 10 on the 'hot-o-meter' and I was wondering if you think he's stood the test of time (1 out of 10)?

Jennifer Connelly looked fantastic in a sparkly green dress as she arrived to the premiere of her new movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still" in New York last night.  Her co-star Keanu Reeves looked sexy in a classic black suit as he walked the red carpet... as usual!

There are so many movies that are coming out over the next few weeks that I can't wait to see! 

The Day The Earth Stood Still, Seven Pounds, Yes Man, Star Trek (yes, I'm interested), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Spirit, Bedtime Stories (with the kids), Marley and Me, The Unborn... I could go on and on!

BOOOOOOOO!

Yesterday, it was reported that Keanu Reeves was in talks to reprise his role as Jack Traven in Speed. (swoon) Today, the actor admits he hasn't heard a word about any new projects and refuses to take part in one should the movie get the green light. 

"I honestly don’t know anything about it. I don’t know if they are going to make another one, and if they are it won’t be with me… honestly!"

COME ON! I am so upset about this one. I need me some Keanu! :)

However, movie studio bosses better listen up because Keanu has a great idea for a sequel ... Bill and Ted. If he could continue any franchise it would be that one. 

"Well you know, never say never… Maybe we could do it with them both grown up - they haven’t saved the world and they’re just living their lives as middle-aged men. That sound’s quite funny."

I would watch it! LOL

I think it is pretty safe to say that the majority of Keanu Reeves' female fanbase came after the movie Speed. What a hunk! It looks like movie bosses have found the right figure to bring the actor back for one more go.

Will Sandra Bullock return as well? I just love watching those two together on the big screen. If she wasn't happily married, I could see them romantically pairing up in a heartbeat. 

While Keanue hasn't confirmed his acceptance, internet reports are hopeful that Jack Traven is a go. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

In other news, how does Keanu compare to Tom Cruise these days? Click here to find out.

Sexy man dressed up in their Sunday best for the red carpet.  We couldn't ask for much more, could we?  Jude Law and Josh Hartnett attended The Evening Standard Theatre Awards, both rocking the 'stache.  Keanu Reeves also kept up the facial hair trend at the Russian premiere of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I'm not such a fan of mustaches, beards and all that, but I understand.  Ladies can change up their dresses, hair, shoes and makeup, but guys pretty much wear dark colored suits to every event they go to.  They need be able to do something to have a little variety in their lives. :)

Remember that insane Balenciaga dress that Jennifer Connelly wore to a red carpet event one time?  She's known for taking chances with her style.  But, for the photocall for The Day the Earth Stood Still, with Keanu Reeves, Jennifer played it safe.  Polka dots and a black skirt...where's the fun in that?!?  Of course she looks good, but as she promotes the movie I'm hoping for some fun Love It Or Hates It posts featuring Jennifer. :)

Y-U-M!

Nothing new to say about Keanu Reeves this morning. We've already talked about his upcoming movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still a million times. Instead, let's just take a moment to appreciate these shots.

I don't know what's more beautiful - Paris as the backdrop or Keanu himself! The combination is lethal.

Keanu Reeves looked very GQ (minus his favorite shoes) while leaving his hotel in Manhattan yesterday afternoon. He was nice enough to sign an autograph and take a picture with a fan before hopping into his car and going about his day.

Can't wait to see The Day the Earth Stood Still! And thanks to that movie, I am sure the paps are going to "accidentally" run into Keanu more on the streets over the next few weeks.

I love me some Keanu and I will take him anyway he wants to give it!

Rose McGowan was photographed checking in at LAX yesterday looking super cute with a new short do and holding her adorable little dog. :) Rose's blue handbag is gorgeous and almost distracts from her new hair cut. Do you like her hair short?

Also spotted at LAX was Rachel McAdams in a black hat that's a tad reminiscent of the 90's. And who could resist a few shots of Keanu Reeves. Yum. Yum. and Yum.
