Jezebel: Ellen Page

Ladyblogger Show Nixed By HBO

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:05:00 EST

In May of last year, news broke that Ellen Page and Diane Keaton were filming a pilot for Tilda, an HBO show loosely based on journalist and film business blogger Nikki Finke. Over the weekend, Nikke Finke had Oscar press credentials yanked for leaking details about the award show. And now? HBO has axed the pilot for Tilda. So: No blogging ladies on HBO for the foreseeable future. Boo. More »

Bisexuality In Hollywood: Ok For LiLo But Probably Not For Leonardo

Jessica G. — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:30:00 EDT

"At this point, coming out would be the most normal thing [Lindsay's] done in months," Queerty editor Andrew Belonsky said recently. And according to an article in ABC News, if Lindsay Lohan admitted to a relationship with Sam Ronson, it could actually be a boon to her ailing career — it would take attention away from her drug-addled past and her humiliating, fame whoring family. But what if an up-and-coming, sexually ambiguous male star with similar image woes, let's say a Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who's also had several stints in rehab, came out of the bisexual closet? Would it be a career positive, or a career ender? It's more likely to be a career ender, say experts — and according to Jennifer Baumgardner, the author of Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics, it's because women are taken less seriously in general. "It's like, 'So what if they were fooling around?' When two men, who were thought to be straight, have sex, it's perceived as more serious," she tells ABC News. More »

Ellen Page To Star As One Of English Literature's Saddest Sacks

maria — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:40:00 EDT

Another day, another round of casting announcements chock full of stereotypes. While older actresses like Susan Sarandon have their pick of saucy-yet-loving-powerful-woman roles, the younger actresses who have yet to convince everyone they're talented sometimes pick up a few victim roles along their march to Serious Actress territory. Maybe it's because they are still pretty "fresh faces", but these talented actresses still succumb to playing victimized lovers, even in supposedly intellectual and interesting films. In this edition of Hookers, Victims, and Doormats, Ellen Page pretends she is "plain" in Jane Eyre and Eva Mendes continues to mimic Angelina Jolie's action film career. All that and more after the jump! More »

Fifty thousand people are dead or close to it in Burma, and Barack Obama can state unequivocally that he does not drink designer beer. Seventy five percent of American adults will at some point be impoverished. The average American car owner really must save $30 this summer. Chris Hitchens believes Barack Obama may be pussy-whipped. Ellen Page believes Burmese dictator Than Shwe is a modern Hitler. And when tomorrow comes, Terry McAuliffe believes everyone will be saying that Hillary Clinton did better than they thought she was going to do in both the North Carolina and Indiana primaries tonight. Now there's a statement Glamocracy Megan and I can get behind! After the jump, an unusually hip-hop laden edition of Crappy Hour. More »

"Pregnancy Slowly Turns Even The Hottest Chicks Into Monsters"

Smart People Is The Type Of Film That, Well, Smart People Have Seen Before

Smart People is a new movie that tries to be both quirky and semi-intellectual by putting respectable actors in roles that they had already successfully played in movies made by more creative people. Dennis Quaid plays Lawrence, a douchebaggy literature professor, who has a wise-cracking, vintage-wearing teenage daughter (Juno! I mean, Ellen Page) and starts a relationship with beautiful but romantically-awkward woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) through whom he has to learn how to be a nicer person. Oh yeah, he also has a lazy but lovable brother played by Thomas Haden Church, who provides some comic relief. But what do the critics have to say? Can they successfully point out all of the hilarious subtle references to life in the intelligentsia? Can they get through an entire review without calling the movie "Stupid People?" The collected reviews after the jump. More »

There's been some back-fence internet talk lately of like, "Ooh, I think Ellen Page is gay." 1.) As though that's like a scandal or a big deal or something; and 2.) Duh! Page sorta made fun of the whole thing last night in a skit on SNL where she plays a "straight" girl who went to a Melissa Etheridge concert and loved the whole experience. The bit doesn't end with a sarcastic joke, but with a hug and acceptance from Andy Samberg (who plays her boyfriend), and then flashes to the SNL bumper shot of Page in a leather jacket. More »

Barbara Walters Confesses To Ellen Page That She Doesn't Like The Moldy Peaches

Slut Machine — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:00:00 EST

Barbara Walters' Oscar Special isn't really exciting because of who she interviews (this time around it was Harrison Ford, Vanessa Williams, Ellen Page and Miley Cyrus) but how she interacts with them: The woman has a knack for camp. Maybe it's her accent (or speech impediment, whichever you prefer), or the fact that she was around when God was but a young boy, but whatever the case, we really enjoy her quirkiness. In the clip above, watch her best questions from each interview, including her curiosity as to why anyone would ever want to listen to the Moldy Peaches. More »

"Fishy" Is Fabulous: Oscar Fashion 2008

Jennifer — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:30:00 EST

Thank God for Oscar fashion because the awards themselves dragged... on... forever. And on last night's red carpet? Lots of, well, red. Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway, Ruby Dee, and Helen Mirren were just some of the women who matched their gowns to the carpet they were posing on. But the absolute best looks were seen on the women who opted for something a little less traditional: Like Marion Cotillard's fish-scale mermaid gown by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Cotillard looked radiant, palpitating with natural beauty and joie de vivre. Also gorgeous? Cate Blanchett, pregnant in purple Dries Van Noten, and Amy Adams, sultry in deep green Proenza Schouler. Those who swung and missed? Diablo Cody, Cameron Diaz and Renee Zellweger. And Lord have mercy on Sarah "I'm Dating George Clooney" Lawson: Her ugly-ass table-cloth dress was the worst of the worst in my book. You can take the girl out of Fear Factor, but you can't take the Fear Factor out of the girl. Photo galleries of the Good, Bad, and Ugly of Oscar style, after the jump. More »
