Keanu's new love, 59 (Diane Keaton)
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 8-25-05 | Staff

Posted on 08/26/2005 8:25:30 AM PDT by veronica

Keanu Reeves was reported last night to be embroiled in a romance with Diane Keaton, the actress who is nearly 20 years his senior.

Reeves, 40, was said to have dumped actress girlfriend Lynn Collins, 28, to date the 59-yearold Oscar winner.

Reeves met Miss Keaton when they appeared together in the 2003 comedy Something's Gotta Give. He began dating Miss Collins three months ago after they met on the set of the forthcoming drama Il Mare.

A friend told the U.S. magazine Star that Reeves was 'hit hard' by turning 40 last year.

Breaking up with Miss Collins 'kind of said goodbye to a way of living he's outgrown'.

By the way, when it happens naturally, I think it's great! (God has voted.) My husband's high school girlfriend got pregnant at 52 and gave birth to triplets, three little girls. (I know you're thinking fertility drugs, but no, multiples run in her family, and older mothers are more likely to have a multiple birth. I'm thinking that she thought she was past all that, as we women tend to do, but was wrong.) Anyway, I once told a 40 year-old divorced father or 3 (who was dating and looking for a woman who didn't want children) that story, describing it as life sometimes throwing a curve-ball, and you should have seen his face. He turned pale and said, "That's not a curve-ball, that's a sinker." It was funny.

Anyway, the older parents of my anecdote have plenty of money and are delighted with the wild, unexpected turn that their life has taken.

Oh, and while human circumstances DO change, human nature doesn't. If you don't believe me, read St. Augustine (either the "Confessions" or "City of God"), and then try to tell me that people are any different today than they were 1600 years ago.

Not only that she was a tremendous cook.

I dated an older babe also. She could really cook in any room in the house too!! 8^)

My grandmother had a child naturally when she was 48 and my grandfather was 49. A product of the rhythm method. The child is now a lawyer with 2 children. My aunt turned out fine.

Michael Douglas will be close to eighty when his kids go to college. He'll make Diane Keaton look like a spring chicken.

Just wanted to add that my grandmother out lived my mother. She died at age 94 and always claimed that my aunt kept her young.

Yes, late births do indeed happen naturally, and like I said, when they do, I think that's great! A woman who retains her fertility that late has also retained both her bone mass and musculature, as they're all related. But a woman who cannot naturally have a child at that age is fighting to retain the rest of her physical capacities (I know, I'm dancing around menopause myself.) But, take a look at Diane Keaton. Do you think she's NOT fighting to retain bone mass and musculature?

As for older fathers, I agree that it is also an issue that Michael Douglas will be 80 when his children go to college. Unless he turns out to be a magnificent physical speciman, don't you think that's also cheating the kids? I do.

I just think that people need to think about more than just whether or not they want a child. In my example and yours, God voted, so that's fine, but in the case of old adoptive parents, or extraordinary measures to enhance the fertility of an older prospective mother, or older fathers, don't you think that people ought to consider what life as the child of such a much older parent will be like? I do. Having children isn't only, or even mostly, about the parents-- it's about the children.

Human interest. Mind candy. A break from Mother Sheehan and her America-hating lunacy.

I agree. But, honestly, it's probably always been that way for those two.

That said, I was channel surfing one night and I watched an interview with Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson shortly after About Schmidt came out. The interviewer, in a perfectly tacky way, asked Nicholson what it was like for him, after being with so many young starlets, to get naked with Kathy Bates.

Nicholson stuttered around, trying to be a gentleman. Bates piped up and said...Are you kidding me? The only reason Jack did this film is because he has been pining away all these years about doing a nude seen with me.

Nicholson turned beet red. I have never seen him completely out of control, but he was. Needless to say, I was LMAO. It was great.

You know, for a group of people who yell at the rest of us for being bigots...they sure go to great length to shove people into the closet.

I don't care. Keep it out of my face and if you can act, you can act.

What a bunch of elitist dopes.

BTW...Liz Taylor wasn't cover..she was confirmation. Next step...Judy Garland.

I hope you read my other posts on this thread.
I honestly DO like Kathy Bates.
She is wonderfully talented and gifted.
And, she is very versatile
One of my favorite actors...

Whatta woman!

Thank you for relating that story. ;o)
