Ruby Rose Clears Up The Whole ‘Lindsay Ciccone’ Thing For Us

By Jess McGuire on August 24, 2009 at 1:12 PM

I knew someone – somewhere – had been a total idiot when they said Ruby Rose’s real name was Lindsay Ciccone this morning. The only person in the world allowed to have that surname is Madge, and she refuses to use it most of the time!

Remember my earlier confusion?

“If the nuptials go ahead it’s a good thing Rose, who was born Lindsay Ciccone, changed her name, otherwise it would be “Lindsay, do you take Lyndsey … ”

Umm… WHAT?

I know Ruby Rose is a Madonna fan, but is her birth name really Lindsay Ciccone? REALLY? I thought it was Ruby Rose Langenheim! Is she Madonna’s secret daughter? Or sister? Or WHAT? NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.

Well, here’s Ruby Rose’s response on Twitter. In three parts! Brace yoself!

I mean, really – did the Ciccone thing not ring any bells for anyone at Confidential? Not to mention that the strange and random (and incorrect) claim that Rose had been born with the moniker Lindsay Ciccone was thrown clumsily into the Daily Telegraph article in the form of a dreadful joke I wouldn’t expect from a Red Bull-addled work experience kid…

So it’s a massive fail for writer Joel Christie! I am going to assume he was so excited by the prospect of a hot lez wedding, he momentarily gave up on fact checking his way to winning a Walkley in order to deliver the journalistic equivalent of squealing excitedly “LYNDSEY! LINDSAY! LESBIANS! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” before passing out.

EARLIER: Ummm… Ruby Rose’s Real Name Is What?

    Phew! Thanks for clearing that up Ruby before we started the Madge references on a more permanent basis. Joel Christie is very much the pulse of all things Sydney, and the high standards of journalistic integrity he displays in his pieces are a shining beacon for all others to follow. Not to mention the many fabulous ‘celebrities’ he brings us each week with his phone camera.

    Is it too late to nominate him for NSW’s representative for 2010 Aussie of the Year? After all, nobody else has the ability to bore people so consistently as him and the other muppets at Sydney Confidential.

      I agree Marto.
      It’s been said but I’ll say it again. Ruby Rose is only famous for being a lesbian, it’s the only element to her public persona that is interesting or subversive.
      The woman is on that pop-current affairs show targeted at a white, hetro, middle-class audience. The 7pm project I think it is called. For someone who wears their sexuality on their sleeve, she’s not doing anything worthwhile. She is merely an inoffensive lesbian for people who otherwise have bigoted, conservative values to feel a bit accepting or progressive.
      Why is this blog so obsessed with this person, a person who is essentially a marketing tool?
