After Juno, I'd have bet that Michael Cera would have copped to being a polesmoker before Ellen Page was deemed a beaverlicker...meh not surprised.
you would love to tap it wouldn't you love to eat her...

You were into chicks that don't look hot and are obviously gay?
probably ellen tbh
Explain please.
from wiki
"She starred in two television sitcoms, Ellen from 1994 to 1998 and The Ellen Show from 2001 to 2002. During the fourth season of Ellen in 1997, DeGeneres came out publicly as a lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Shortly afterwards, her character Ellen Morgan also came out to a therapist played by Winfrey, and the series went on to explore various LGBT issues including the coming-out process. She has won 13 Emmys and numerous other awards for her work and charitable efforts."
great source material for shows and subsequent talk shows, wouldn't you agree?
i know abc canceled her show but cbs picked her up quickly after that and gave her a talk show. then she started winning all sorts of awards.
it's also great PR for organizations like awards ceremonies to have her host them. i think she made out like a bandit by being gay.

She wasn't picked up quickly at all. Three years is an eternity in show business. You can't really convince me that Ellen D. wanted to go from leading in feature films and primetime sitcoms to daytime talk show host. That's not the arc people aspire to.
You can say all's well that ends well but coming out didn't help Ellen's film career at all, and it was a real risk for just about anything else careerwise back then.
Hopefully Ellen Page is relegated to talk shows too...she won't be missed.
I loved her in Freaks and Geeks.
i don't understand how getting your own talk show on a major broadcasting channel is considered bad in the biz especially when you're endorsed by oprah
It's not a step up from leading feature films and network sitcoms, not to mention the years of doing practically nothing for a couple of years.
Again, all's well that ends well but Ellen D.'s coming out can hardly be cited as a surefire blueprint for success someone like Page could blithely follow.
i'd say she has done better than 99.9% of people who have tried to get into show business on a comedy platform, and she didn't reach her zenith until she came out. i was merely pointing that out, and she is not deterred by using her personal life as joke fodder.
And my original question remains unanswered tbh.
maybe to you, but from a timeline and source material perspective it looks to be justified. whatever, i'm done with it. people don't pay me on here to give my opinion, so i don't care either way.

it worked for Jason Collins (otherwise no one would've remembered that guy, that gay as of now), so Ellen may hope for the best
