Drew Barrymore movie: Ellen to Whip It?

Did you know I'm a huge fan of wording things as horribly as possible?

In an interview with Shauna Cross (author of Derby Girl, and screenwriter for the novel's Drew Barrymore-directed movie counterpart, Whip It), she mentioned it's rumored that the "lead (for Whip It) could be played by an actress whose name rhymes with Shmellen Shmage". Hey, Ellen Page rhymes with Shmellen Shmage! How valid is this rumor? We'll know soon enough, since production is set to begin in two months.

Ellen up for Orange Rising Star Award

I say this only because "Orange Rising Star Award" sounds fun to have. It is the only Baftas award that can be voted on by the general public.
