Ellen Page Comes Out As Gay

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ellen Page, who won the hearts of moviegoers as the pregnant teenager in the 2007 film "Juno," has come out as gay.
The 26-year-old told a Las Vegas audience Friday, "I'm here today because I am gay." She was speaking to a conference of counselors who work with teenagers who identify as lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual or queer.
A video of her speech was posted on the Los Angeles Times website.
Page says she suffered for years because she was afraid to come out. She told the audience, "I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
Page received an Oscar nomination for her performance in "Juno." She also had major roles in "X-Men: The Last Stand" in 2006 and "Inception" in 2010.

I put all my boards in a garbage bag, and carried them to Universal myself and I put them out. I pitched my butt off." Jolie was convincing: "Unbroken," which Universal will release on Dec. 25, ...

Releasing 1.5 Million Balloons Into The Air Is A Bad Idea

With the best of intentions, Tom Holowach set out to create a massive spectacle. As Gizmodo reports,  Holowach was the mastermind behind Cleveland, Ohio's Balloon Fest on September 27, 1986. Holowach explained his role in a Q&A this week: I was the Project Manager for this event. I worked on it for 6 months and lived in Cleveland for a month preparing for it. We had to design a structure this filled a city square and could stand up to 90 MPH winds, which was building code. The one-piece net was fabricated by the exact company I found in So Cal who built the cargo nets for the Space Shuttle. Kids in schools "sold" balloon sponsorships at 2 for a dollar that went to United Way. The goal was 2 million but we stopped at 1.4 + million. Though the event was a spectacle, as can be seen from the photos below, Balloon Fest ended in tragedy. As Viral Forest explains,  a storm moved  in and forced all of the balloons back over the city. Two fisherman whose boat ...
