Ellen Page: Is She or Isn't She?

Posted by Michael Musto at 12:00 PM, February 27, 2008

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. And then there was the web item saying "Ellen Page is an out lesbian," but for all I know the guy who ran that is the same douche who started the whole "Marcia Cross is coming out" campaign. Come on, people, help me out of this mess! Before I get stampeded by publicists shrieking, "This is an invasion of privacy!" (yeah, yeah, shut up, this is what I do), let's put the dykey pieces together. Is Juno a you know? And if so, which male will they quickly match her up with? Zac Efron?

If it walks like a dyke and talks like a dyke...

She's a very appealing actress. I honestly don't care about her sexuality.

Posted by: lucylewd at February 27, 2008 12:51 PM

michael,

i know for a fact that isn't her mother she was sitting next to in the Oscars. I think it's her girlfriend who is allegedly 29-30 yrs old. She was with her in the ISA's too. Good luck in outing Ellen Page though.

Posted by: jackie at February 27, 2008 1:17 PM

i've seen pics of her mom and stepmom, and that lady isn't her.

Posted by: leyman at February 27, 2008 2:03 PM

I'll be your girlfriend, Ellen! I love you!!!

Posted by: cindylou at February 27, 2008 2:07 PM

check this out, a pic of her date.

Looks like Ellen's being a lot more open than Jodie Foster.

Posted by: buddy foster at February 27, 2008 2:35 PM

seriously!

Posted by: giah at February 27, 2008 3:26 PM

Umm.. I doubt she will ever come out. People in show biz rarely do that, except for the lesser known people.

Posted by: jody at February 27, 2008 3:52 PM

it's her publicist, not her date.

Posted by: nycflack at February 28, 2008 12:47 AM

She dresses like a tomboy! If you "google 'Ellen Page boyfriend,' not a whole lot comes up.

Wow, that's some serious legwork there Musto. Nice job. You cracked the secret seal for sure.

Posted by: The Playlist at February 28, 2008 2:29 PM

according to some people online, they say that lady is named Kelly Bush her publicist. And Kelly Bush is actually OUT which is a weird coincidence.

Posted by: luke at February 28, 2008 2:40 PM

She's Canadian, so even if she is straight you would find her unusual. Consider Sara Polley for a moment: girl is busy, she just doesn't care. The woman beside her is probably an assistant/agent/publicist. Like Rachel McAdams, she simply wants to work more than she wants fame.

Posted by: j.mo at February 28, 2008 3:30 PM

that's Kelly Bush her publicist.

Posted by: mary at February 28, 2008 4:00 PM

I've always thought she was gay! I just can't picture her with a guy!

Posted by: Nena at February 28, 2008 4:31 PM

Homeskillet is a homo?

Posted by: Suzanne at February 28, 2008 7:44 PM

I thought all Canadian women were gay.

Posted by: slinkybender at February 28, 2008 8:43 PM

Shut the fuck up, guys! How DARE you try to out her. Scratch that, how dare you even conceive the idea that she is a lezbian because she "acts like it." She is just private with her life and doesn't want all the publicity. "LEAVE ELLEN ALONE!"

Posted by: Andrew at February 28, 2008 8:55 PM

Mr. Musto, how out-of-the-loop can one gossip columnist possibly be? Kelly Bush represents about half of the A-list celebs in Hollywood. And you don't recognize her? Really? What's really reprehensible here is that you, a gay man, are trying to out a young woman and imply that there's something terribly wrong with being gay. Wow. Internalized homophobia. You must be so proud.

Posted by: sharona at February 29, 2008 1:31 AM

i wish she is xxxxxxxxxxx come out ellen, at least address the rumours

Posted by: reyhd at February 29, 2008 5:04 PM

Musto-

You are worthless. Consider another job.

Fuck you.

Posted by: right at February 29, 2008 5:13 PM

I'm rooting for you Musto! We want to knoww!!!

Posted by: Rachel at February 29, 2008 6:16 PM

Greta Garbo was mostly in Lesbian relationships but she also had a few hetero relatioships you can't box people into categories either/or thats not right!

Posted by: at March 1, 2008 3:02 AM

Please find out, musto. cuz i'm going to hit on her and get her in bed, i want to eat her pussy..i'm HUNGRY.. GRRrrr.

Posted by: emily at March 1, 2008 4:06 AM

right is wrong.

Posted by: Scruffy at March 1, 2008 4:32 AM

Since when is bringing your mother to the Oscars the signal that a man is 100% gay? Didn't Ben Affleck and Matt Damon bring their moms a few years ago? I'm pretty sure they're not gay, or if they are they're damn good at blending in.

I'm surprised someone working for the Village Voice, which presumably has fact-checkers and a whole host of wannabe-celebrity interns, did not recognize Kelly Bush.

Posted by: Meow Houes at March 2, 2008 11:37 AM

She came out in a sketch on SNL last night. She wants to hug the faces of other women with her lesbian legs!

Posted by: Meshach Taylor Thomas at March 2, 2008 11:58 AM

Wow, maybe the possibility that she's um, single, hasn't occurred to you, you witless bore. She is an actress that's in demand so I don't imagine that leaves much time for dating (either men or women ...whatever her preference is). Also, how disparaging is your comment about her being a "tomboy." Just because she doesn't wear pink and prance around like Paris Hilton makes her gay?! Stereotyping much? You obviously are just intimidated by how incredibly articulate Ellen is and overcompensating for your insecurities by making such stupid assumptions. I feel sorry for you, man.

Posted by: laura at March 2, 2008 7:46 PM

Above all though, if you're going to judge her on anything, let it be on her skills as an actress and not on her sexual orientation. Do you seriously think that being gay or straight completely encompasses someone? MOST people are more complex than that.

Posted by: laura at March 2, 2008 9:08 PM

This "article" and some the replies are killing me. It's just a perfect example of how people can be ignorant or just plain biased.

Hey Musto. When I googled "Michael Musto Girlfriend" not a whole lot comes up. I guess you are also gay then. Because we know that the internet tells us EVERYTHING and everything on it is genuine.

Posted by: Serafer at March 3, 2008 11:57 PM

hmmm im not shur she looked gay on SNL but in other places she doesnt seem SO gay

Posted by: courtneynnc at March 4, 2008 12:29 AM

how exactly does someone look gay??? is it that huge tatto saying "LESBO" on her forehead they covered up with make-up?

god i hope she is gay cus it will be a cop-out to all those looser dickheads they are making such a fuss over it like an averyage woman couldn't be a lesbian, its insulting! god, next time you're on the bus, just think, THAT PERSON NEXT TO YOU MIGHT BE GAY!

Posted by: disla at March 8, 2008 1:20 AM

I can smell ellen's gay and spot her as a dyke 100 miles away. We are hot and everywhere.

Posted by: Diana at March 8, 2008 10:26 AM

Is she or isnt she?

we may never know- or more importantly CARE

geezz leave the poor girl alone shes an amazin actress so what does it really matter what she is?

Posted by: elle at March 30, 2008 10:11 AM

Zac Efron is NOT gay you idiot..
