Why Can’t Ellen Page Just Hug a Woman With Her Legs On-Screen?
9:10AM Kyle Buchanan | After teasing America’s sapphic set with power lesbian proximity and a hint-filled SNL sketch, Ellen Page doused their rubyfruit dreams by cancelling her upcoming lesbian werewolf flick. Now, word comes of a same-sex replacement! More »
4:49AM STV | Oscar’s Stepchildren: Reclaiming the selective credentials that helped nudge Crash to a Best Picture win only three years ago, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is cracking down on new membership effective immediately. Among the first to feel the pinch: Last year’s nominees Ellen Page, Casey Affleck and Amy Ryan, all snubbed in 2008 by an actor’s branch that even Academy execs say might have gone too far in restricting invitations. But, reports the NY Times, Henry Winkler retains his influence, so, you know, as you were, Hollywood. [NYT] More »
Ellen Page Is No Fun, Claim Marcia Gay Harden and Daughter
10:29AM Kyle Buchanan | Imagine acting in a film opposite Ellen Page; every day on set must be a bundle of Diablo Cody-scripted larfs, right? According to Marcia Gay Harden, not so much! Harden and her daughter play members of Page’s family in Drew Barrymore’s upcoming directorial debut Whip It!, and both told MTV that the Juno actress simply would not submit to their months-long campaign of laugh harassment: More »
4:32AM STV | Hollywood PrivacyWatch Two-For-One! 10/26/08 — A friend and I stopped by Hugo’s in West Hollywood for a late lunch. As we were walking through the patio toward our table, we passed a very familiar looking blond woman. We got to our table, and I excused myself to go to the ladies’ [room]. My friend said “On your way back, could you check to see if that blond woman is SHARON STONE?” More »
Ellen Page To Play Beauty Queen / Roller Derby Racer Dressed Only In Men’s Wearhouse Bargain Bin Scores
8:00AM Molly Friedman | 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:Ellen Page Hoping Endeavor Can Make Her More Famous
6:05AM Seth | In a defection sure to cause at least one WMA partner to disembowel their assistant, then themselves, with the nearest People’s Choice Award, Ellen Page has left the agency for Endeavor’s Ariesque embrace. All-purpose power-lesbian Kelly Bush will continue to oversee management and publicity duties. [Variety] Apparently there’s a shortage of prestige material so far for the 2008 Oscar race, but that could change just as soon as the Academy drastically alters the rules to give Camp Rock full eligibility in all categories.

Ellen Page’s Leading Roles Finally Pull Even With Dumped Films From ‘07
8:40AM Defamer Hollywood | Welcome to Ellen Page Dump-and-Run Week, when even today’s news that America’s ambiguously-persuasioned sweetheart is attached to star in yet another adaptation of Jane Eyre is slightly overshadowed by the two “new” Page releases you may not have known to look for. Like An American Crime? You know this one? No? Page stars as Sylvia Likens, the Indianapolis teen who was beaten, tortured and murdered by her caretaker (played by Catherine Keener) in one of the most notorious homicides in American history. We saw it at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007, when someone reportedly passed out at the premiere — probably the producer who realised his high-calibre drama (starring two Oscar nominees!) was headed straight to Showtime oblivion this Saturday at 10 p.m. We feel him, but that’s not the half of it.

Rumer Willis Works Hard To Emulate Demi Moore, But Do Extensions And Bikini Bodies A Superstar Make?
9:10AM Molly Friedman | It took her long enough, but the eldest spawn of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore is finally putting her pedigree to good use. Rumer Willis reminded the world of her burgeoning acting career at last week’s premiere of From Within, the horror flick she’s starring in, and was spotted posing for her first ad campaign for Wal-Mart’s newest surfer fashion brand OP (formerly Ocean Pacific). And while the extensions she wore for the premiere coupled with the bikini body she displayed alongside Pete Wentz for the photo shoot do admittedly evoke memories of a younger version of her iconic mum, are Rumer’s recent career choices really going to jumpstart a Demi-like fame trajectory? Or will she soon be on MTV’s third season of Rock The Cradle? More »
