Hmph. From today’s Page Six:
KEANU Reeves is single again, and prowling. The “Matrix” star went to South Beach steakhouse Prime 112 the other night, and while he was outside waiting to be seated, a “hot blonde pulled up in a red Porsche turbo Cabriolet, and he started chatting her up,” said our spy. “Her cheesy license plate read ‘NEW 007,’ and Keanu got her number before heading inside to sit with his friends.”
No comment. 
Keanu! Say it ain’t so!
He was trying to pick up someone who had a cheesy personalized license plate?! My image of him is tarnished!
I know, right? Damn. What do I need to do? Bleach my hair and pass for white, and get a license that reads ‘HOT4UKEANU’?
oh, come on, what’s there to fret about…
there are many reasons why he could have been taking her number down, if it was even a number he was writing down, could’ve been a reminder/note – maybe he wanted to buy her car… maybe she was threatening him so in fear for his life he wrote her number down… maybe she was listening to a song and he wanted to buy the track from itunes…
and even if it was a number… maybe she gave him a fake number… a friend of mine did this to anthony kiedis (red hot chili peppers)
maybe he dropped it in the gutter/trash right after she turned around… maybe he used it for bathroom graf later… 
glass half full…silver lining… glass half full… silver lining
Did you see him in the movie “The Lake House”? He’s getting old.
Yeah he also seems to be going through a bloated phase. It seems like he gets bloated, then tightens up again and is nice and slim like in The Matrix, then he bloats up again.
Carmen! Keep your head up! I experienced the same when John Mayer was seen with Jessica Simpson!
Soooooooooo disappointing! LOL
Thanks for the support everyone. **fights back tears** I’ll try to stay strong during this trying time. Somehow I’ll summon up the inner strength to get through this.
is there a reason why this is even posted? i’m new here but from what i’ve seen this place has been thankfully free of celebrity romance tripe, “news” items that have no relevance to this blog. or is it just that keanu is mixed and–possibly–going out with a blond, and thus related to “the intersection of race and pop culture” in that very teeny tiny way.
Hey erica, it’s been a running joke on this site that I’m obsessed with Keanu. You’ll even see it in the “about this blog” description in our sidebar. So while 99% of the time I keep it serious, every once in awhile I can’t help myself.
oh ok!!! in that case i hope you catch his eye one day.
“like, uhhh, who even needs blonds, pshh!” mutters keanu as carmen slips into the passenger seat of the red Porsche turbo Cabriolet of his soon to be ex…
Since we’re being serious: when will i see a special report on Point Break (old, but his finest hour imo)?
Finest hour? What, no props for playing Denzel’s EEEBIL half-bro in Much Ado?
Meg, I agree the Keanu was never as fine as he was in Point Break. And that movie has such awesomely bad dialogue. Actually, I love it so much that earlier this year I hosted a Point Break viewing party at my house. Every time that beotch Lori Petty came on the screen we jeered.
But Lyonside, good call! He looked pretty hot in those tight pants and billowy white shirt too.
Sorry Lyonside, shakespeare’s got nothing on:
“The correct term is babes, sir. …uh, this type of undercover operation is entirely dependent on picking up the idiom of the speech. Otherwise penetration is not possible, sir. Of the social infrastructure I mean”
Actually Carmen previously when Keanu “bloated up” as seen in the film Chain Reaction it was due to a motorcycle accident.
