Winona Ryder's kookie? Didn't you know? And we're not just talking about the shoplifting, or the time she pretended to be Bjork on Saturday Night Live.
Not so long ago, Ryder admitted she'd never used the internet. Never. Not even to Google herself. And now we've uncovered the reason behind her bottomless pit of swirling fear - terrorists.
More specifically, she is scared of accidentally joining Al Qaeda. The actress insists she is terrified that technology could lead her to making a terrible accident, saying: "You saw what happened to Pete Townshend." Yep, someone else planted those images on his hard drive. Apologies, he only paid to view a child pornopgraphy site "just to see what was there."
She says that although her friends and even her father use computers, she once bought a laptop but never used it. "Googling is very terrifying to me," she said on Jimmy Fallon's late night TV show. "I have this fear that I'm going to be trying to find out what movie is playing where - and I'll suddenly find that I'm a member of Al Qaeda. I swear - we're a button away from joining Al Qaeda! That's my fear (that and instant access to bad reviews - or worse - updates on how ex-fiances are faring). If you press the wrong button, who knows what could happen?... You've got to be careful."
However, she admits she has bravely bought an iPhone - and was thrilled she got to use it when she was out in Chicago in a bar where the Stanley Cup for ice hockey was on display. Showing a photo of her drinking, she proudly said to Fallon: "This was taken from my new iPhone - it has a camera on it!"
That's not all it has on it, Winona. That's not all. You're just one button away from... the Internet. In addition to terrorists (apparently they're well starting to get into computers from the confines of their caves) there's a murky world of Susan Boyle; Bieber fever; children biting down on their older sibling's fingers; girls and cups; billions of people wittering on about themselves in 160 characters or less; countless empty souls like me regurgitating stuff about yoooou... *waggles fingers ominously*
