Ellen Page To Play Beauty Queen / Roller Derby Racer Dressed Only In Men’s Wearhouse Bargain Bin Scores
Oh Ellen Page. Why must you make it so easy to spark lesbionic rumours after every public appearance, from outfits showcasing your boyish frame, hiring a Power Lesbian publicist to defend your Non-Power Lesbian status, and showing Jay Leno and the country just how masculine your workout moves are? Not to mention that business of stroking your phantom goatee during the macho exercises in question? Adding more flame to the female-loving fire, Page is currently filming Whip It! in Michigan alongside Drew Barrymore in the newly single actress’ directorial debut. And after hearing the trajectory of Page’s star character Bliss, including every budding Chic Lesbian’s preference of roller derby races over that superficial tradition of beauty pageants (note: we are just imagining what Ellen’s Us-recruited body language expert would “think”), we can’t exactly believe with certainty that Page isn’t a member of Closeted Hollywood. Not to mention these photos of the Diablo-spawned prodigy on set looking her makeup-free, greasy-haired, baggy sweatpants-wearing finest:

Nearly a year later I stumble on this gem of an idiotic piece of journalism.
Firstly, wearing baggy clothes and no makeup is definitely not automatic lesbian status. Walk through a high school these days. They aren’t all cheerleaders. Are we forgetting how old Ellen Paige is? We must be, because when it’s kept in mind, you sound like a jackass.
Secondly, “..reveal character names like Dinah Might, Bloody Holly, and Malice In Wonderland.” Welcome to roller derby. These are ACTUAL derby names. It’s not a gimmick. Roller Derby is not what it used to be. It has been revived as a legitimate sport. I highly recommend that you watch some of the bouts on http://www.derbynewsnetwork.com
This is just about the stupidest thing ever written about this film.
I’d be thankful America doesn’t have a monopoly on sexism and homophobia, but the fact that someone is spouting such tripe on the other side of the world really doesn’t make things much better.
