Ellen dragged out of Hell

For the past month, it seemed like Ellen Page was signing up for a new movie every other day. Today however, it was announced that Ellen will drop out of Drag Me to Hell due to a change in the start date of production, which caused conflict with her schedule.

Juno goes 1-for-4 at Oscars

As I had predicted, Diablo Cody (original screenplay) picked up the lone award Juno won at the Oscars.

I did fairly well with the rest of my predictions. Here are the ones I missed:
Best Picture (No Country won, I picked There Will Be Blood)
Best Supporting Actress (Tilda Swinton won, I picked Cate Blanchett)

And the Oscar goes to...

Marion Cotillard. Oh, she's just lovely, isn't she?

In some way, I'm actually a bit relieved that Ellen Page didn't win because quite honestly, Ellen really wouldn't deserve the award if she did. I say that as the seemingly lone Ellen Page fan who isn't passionately blind.

Happy birthday Ellen Page

She turns 21 today. To have your 21st birthday fall upon the total lunar eclipse during the wolf moon... hmm...

Sharing her birthday include Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Alan Rickman.

Juno hits DVD and Blu-ray April 15th

Juno, which is still in the box office top 10, will be hitting store shelves on April 15th.

There will be two different DVD editions - a single-disc and a two-disc. The two-disc edition will have audio commentary by Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, four making-of featurettes ("Way Beyond 'Our' Maturity Level: Juno - Leah - Bleeker", "Diablo Cody Is Totally Boss", "Jason Reitman For Shizz" and "Honest To Blog!"), eleven deleted scenes, three outtake reels ("Gag Reel", "Gag Takes", "Cast and Crew Jam") and screen tests.

The Blu-ray version will contain everything the two-disc DVD edition will, plus two TV specials - "Fox Movie Channel Presents: World Premiere - Juno" and "Fox Movie Channel Presents: Casting Session - Juno".

Those of you with HD-DVD players are screwed, but you should have known that two years ago.

Ellen on Ellen, part 2

Ellen Page is once again set to appear to The Ellen DeGeneres Show this Friday. You may remember that she was supposed to guest on the show last month, but bailed out because [insert conspiracy theory here].

Ellen signs on to another movie

Looks like Ellen Page has signed on for another movie - a psychological thriller named "Peacock" which also stars Cillian Murphy. This is like... what... the third movie she's signed on for in the past 30 days?

The title is derived from tiny Peacock, Neb., where Murphy's character, a split personality, fools the town into believing his two alter egos are man and wife. Page plays a struggling young mother who holds the key to his past and sparks a battle between the personalities.

Ellen Page to host SNL

The Hollywood Reporter reports (I don't feel like wording that any better) that Ellen will host the first post-strike episode of Saturday Night Live on March 1st. Ellen's a funny gal, but I've never seen her as an SNL style kind of funny. Sounds interesting though.

Correction: Tina Fey is hosting the first post-strike SNL episode, the Saturday preceding Ellen.

Ellen to appear on the foggy lens

Ellen will be a guest on Barbara Walters' annual pre-Oscar special, which airs the hour preceding the awards. She makes sense as a guest, but you're going to be scratching your head as to why Harrison Ford, Vanessa Williams and Miley Cyrus are also guests.

Ellen dragged to Hell

Ellen Page has apparently been casted for Sam Raimi's first horror film in some 16 years. The film, titled "Drag Me to Hell" is reportedly a "morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse".

Juno, the videogame

I know, WTF, right?

During the DICE summit yesterday, former Eidos president Keith Boesky mentioned a "casual" game based on Juno is in development. I wonder how one makes a videogame out of Juno. This will probably end up more hilarious than the movie.

Ellen Page graces Vanity Fair cover... flap

Ellen is among ten actresses gracing the cover of Vanity Fair's annual "Hollywood" issue. She isn't on the "front" cover though, but rather one of the fold-out flaps.



The other actresses sharing the spotlight are Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Alice Braga, Zoe Saldana, Elizabeth Banks, Ginnifer Goodwin and America Ferrera. The theme is "the fresh faces of 2008", which totally explains why Jessica Biel and Anne Hathaway is there.

A behind-the-scenes video is also up on Vanity Fair's website. And here I thought each actress was individually shot and then Photoshopped together.

Ellen Page - talented, young and a person

Which is probably why she's nominated for Talent Young People's Talent Young Person of the month.

I can't believe people actually put up with my contact form. I really can't.
