Keanu Reeves
Gossip

Keanu Reeves is an A-list star (albeit the least talented one in history, with the sole possible exception of Brendan Fraser). He's also reportedly dating a 22-year-old Mexican actress named Martha Higareda - who's certainly a cutie.

Bbut that hasn't motivated Reeves, who recently made headlines for ramming a photographer, to stop looking like a hobo off the street. Yes, he cut off his beard... or 85 percent of it. He may even be wearing clean clothes. But apparently being paid $20 million for The Matrix didn't equate to owning a razor or comb.

Reeves, who was reportedly engaged to Claire Forlani last year, just doesn't look happy these days. It appears as if he may have serious depression, and probably needs help.

The people who straightened Britney Spears out did a number on her. Maybe he should dial them up. If not her, Keanu might be able to get a reference from Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who checked into rehab this week.

Only, so we took some creative liberties there.

A Porsche driven by Keanu Reeves merely "grazed" a photographer, who was still taken by ambulance to the hospital, authorities said Tuesday.

The accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Rancho Palos Verdes section of Los Angeles, according to the Sheriff's Department.

Reeves, who is not engaged, and may be the male, actor equivalent of Ashlee Simpson, was not injured. Thank God. No citations were issued.

"Reeves pulled out of a parking space parallel to the curb and grazed a paparazzo standing in the street in front of Mr. Reeves's 1996 Porsche," says a sheriff's statement.

"The man fell to the ground. Paramedics were summoned and treated the man at the scene. He was then transported via ambulance to a local hospital for further treatment."

The nature of his injuries was not known - but the real issue at hand is why Keanu Reeves is driving a 1996 model if he's supposedly this hot shot actor. Guarantee the Olsen twins have nicer rides than that.

Anyway, this was the latest injury involving a celebrity and a photographer. Police say singer James Blunt also was involved in an accident last month in which a man's foot was run over while Blunt tried to drive through a crowd.

Nicole Richie, for her part, doesn't hit anybody, but likes to park in the HOV lane facing the wrong way. Janice Dickinson, meanwhile, was recently on the receiving end of a car crash.

And, as some of you might remember, Lane Garrison...

Oh Forget it. Reeves was not available for comment.

Perhaps the recent declaration that he wanted to get married and have kids was more than just a distant dream for Keanu Reeves.

The National Enquirer is reporting that the Reeves, who has been battling Brendan Fraser for the title of Worst A-List Actor Ever for what seems like ages, has proposed to his girlfriend, Claire Forlani.

"Keanu didn't work up the nerve to propose until last week," a surely reliable source told the tabloid.

The couple has been together for around three years, with Reeves undaunted by the fact that Forlani, an English actress, appeared in Meet Joe Black, possibly the worst movie ever produced. The Matrix star apparently popped the question over dinner at celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck's new restaurant in Hollywood, and Claire accepted happily.

An inside source went on to reveal that the couple tentatively plans to marry at the end of next year, at Reeves' new home in Hollywood.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
