Ellen Page Mans Up On Leno, Forcing Jay To Actually Come Up With A Few Of His Own Jokes

8:00AM Molly Friedman | Despite her “power lesbian” publicist vehemently lashing out against all those pesky lesbian rumors, Ellen Page still has her work cut out for her when it comes to convincing us she doesn’t (even on occasion) prefer girls. The Smart People star appeared on Leno last night to obediently promote the film, and even though Page got slightly more gussied up than usual in a tight-ish dress and heels, her inability to cross those legs comfortably coupled with an imitation of what someone looks like “lifting weights in the sunshine” did little to disspell our suspicions.

Ellen Page Damage Control: Is It Worse To Be Called A Lesbian Or An Oscar Loser?

5:34AM Defamer Hollywood | Hell hath no fury like a “power lesbian” publicist mistaken for her Oscar-nominated client’s mother/love interest. At least that’s what Michael Musto learned when his prurient interest in Ellen Page (and our interest in his interest) precipitated an angry call Thursday from ID-PR power flack Kelly Bush: She wanted me to know that it was SHE who was with Page at the Oscars (though I had been sardonically wondering if it was a mother/girlfriend/whatever). She named a couple of other starlets who also had reps with them at the awards and said it’s by no means an unusual practice. (Now I’ll have to wonder if THEY’RE gay too.) “I don’t know why people are so mean,” Bush whinnied in a wounded voice. “It’s not mean to wonder if someone’s gay,” I shrieked, outraged. “But to call her an ‘Oscar loser’?” she moaned.

The Ellen Page Sexuality Sweepstakes

2:26AM Defamer Hollywood | Repellent as it was, Jeffrey Wells’ suspicion that no teenage boy would ever knock up a girl as “midget-sized” or “scrawny” as he perceived Ellen Page to be in Juno might actually have had some veracity to it. At least accidentally, anyhow, as Michael Musto indirectly suggested on Wednesday: I mean, come on already, is she??? You know, Lebanese! She certainly dresses like a, you know, tomboy. And if you google “Ellen Page boyfriend,” not a whole lot comes up, except for a link to some interview where she refers to an old beau. And if you google “Ellen Page dating,” you get the news that she dated Ben Foster, but then you get a followup saying she denies that ever happened. Who did she go to the Oscars with? I couldn’t tell from the cropped shots of her, but it looked like she was maybe with her mother? For guys, that used to signify 100% gay, but for girls, it might just mean young and/or Canadian–or, um, gay. … [L]et’s put the dykey pieces together. Is Juno a you know?” More »
