A shaken world held its breath today as news surfaced that Winona Ryder was whisked to a London hospital after "falling ill" on a flight from LA. Nothing to see here, her publicist said this afternoon — unless you count the British Airways crew requesting a priority landing at Heathrow when an unnamed female passenger "required medical attention." That's our Winona!Ryder rep Nancy Buxbaum later explained that the actress was admitted only as a "precautionary measure," assuring the AP that there was no emergency and that Ryder was discharged in short order. The airline wasn't much more help, issuing only a statement that its crew radioed ahead to land as soon as possible to get the sick Oscar-nominee to a doctor:

"Our cabin crew looked after the female passenger as much as they could onboard and our passenger services staff also accompanied her to the local hospital," the statement said. "We wish her well."

As do we. The shmucks at the AP, meanwhile, tastefully point out Ryder's history with prescription drugs, but we're not ones to presume anything; rather, we leave that to our readers. Speaking of whom, Hollywood PrivacyWatch bonus points to any tipsters with information leading to the arrest and capture of Ryder's airborne crisis — preferably with pictures. We know it's midnight in London, but step forward at your earliest convenience.
