"In an interesting topic for an interview, actress Natalie Portman said that she wouldn’t be averse to embarking on a lesbian relationship, for the simple reason that she doesn’t want to disconnect herself from half of the world population. The “V For Vendetta” star said that she doesn’t understand why anyone would want to rule out half of the people out there, simply based on sex. "Why would you close yourself off from 50 per cent of people,” Contactmusic quoted Portman, as saying.
Portman continued, “I’ve never dated a woman or anything like it, but I think it’s much more about the person you fall in love with.” Source: celebrity-gossip.net
"Jena Malone, an actress who has appeared in such movies as Saved, Donnie Darko, The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys, Life as a House, Stepmom, and Bastard Out of Carolina, was raised by two moms until she was ten. Malone says she is close to her large extended family, which includes four brothers and two sisters. In her own words, “I had two loving parents. Love in any shape or form is a beautiful thing". Source: www.mountainmeadow.orgJena got the acting bug from her mother, who performed in community theater productions. After her mother’s lesbian roommate was arrested for drug possession, Jena convinced her to move to Los Angeles, where it would be easier for her to find work as an actress".Source: www.alfy.com

Lesbian Fantasies
EVAN RACHEL WOOD.
"I'm not a lesbian, but I don't think it's weird or gross or anything. I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm bisexual - I don't sleep with women. But I definitely appreciate women and there have been times where I have been attracted to a woman," she told the magazine". Source: gossip.about.com
ELLEN PAGE -GAY ICON?
"Jack and Diane, two teenage lesbians, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf". Source: www.filmsalt.com"Olivia go on to talk more about why this isn't in anyway an actual werewolf movie. Contrary to the way that it's described, it's more of a relationship drama. It just falls into the category of "lesbian werewolf movie" because that's the simplest way to identify it amongst other indie dramas". Source: www.firstshowing.net"Juno actress Ellen Page is more than a new favorite amongst indie-film geeks, she is now number one on the lesbian I’d-Tap-That list. The quirky twenty-year old is talented, feminist, and a flannel shirt and skinny jeans wearer, which translates into lesbian dreamboat. [...] Gay or straight, Page’s on-screen charisma would make anyone a little hot under the collar".

"In theory - ie most teenagers' filthy minds - both Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley have a history of being a bit lesbian-y; after all, Lindsay Lohan once did a sexy poledance with Kate Moss and Keira Knightley once got naked with Scarlett Johansson. [...] The film is about famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and his wife, Caitlin, and was written by Keira's mother, Sharman Macdonald. Lindsay revealed to MTV: "Keira is older than me, but she kind of has a mysterious relationship with my lover and there's somewhat of a lesbian undertone." Oh. It's a lesbian film about a poet. Bor-ing. It's probably going to be full of really sad sex scenes, too, where Keira Knightley will shed a solitary symbolic tear as Lindsay Lohan undresses her, before the camera cuts away to a 35-minute montage of meadows just as they start to get filthy with each other. We know that sort of film all too well, having been fooled by them umpteen times throughout our lives. Well we won't be fooled again, and we certainly won't be sneaking downstairs after our parents have gone to sleep when the Keira Knightley/ Lindsay Lohan lesbian film gets shown by Channel 4 at midnight in a few years time.

Maybe she was tired of the boys and that is why she decided to spice it up with BFF (best friend forever) Samantha Ronson". Source: Femalefirst.co.uk
"Angelina Jolie claims she is so satisfied with her partner Brad Pitt that she is giving up women and kinky sex."I have never hidden my bisexuality," she told France's Public magazine. "But since I've been with Brad, I abandoned women. Now there is no room for that or S&M in my life." However, model Jenny Shimizu, Jolie's former lesbian lover, doesn't think even Brad Pitt can tame Jolie's lesbian libido for too long."She loves danger and dabbling in the dark side," Shimizu, 40, told Britain's News of the World. "Angelina is an unbelievable lesbian lover. That's where she gets her kicks - not playing happy families with one man." But Public magazine quoted Jolie as saying she is still very happy with Pitt because he believes in her. "He lets me talk to whomever I want," she said. "He has complete blind faith in me." Jolie had a steamy long-term lesbian relationship with model Jenny Shimizu, whom she met on the set of the 1996 flick "Foxfire." Source: www.news.com.au

Unlikely lesbian fantasies
Here’s an unlikely lesbian fantasy: Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon. I’ve never written a post on either of them, but seeing them together is like some kind of weird science experiment; they both have the same shaped head.
They’re like aliens from another planet, and I just want to probe them a little longer.

"Zodiac" snubbed by Oscars
"No surprise, and absolutely proper: Roger Deakins for shooting both "No Country for Old Men" and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (though I hope they don't cancel each other out). But nothing for "Zodiac"? At the very least it should have received a nomination for its amazing visual effects. But unless you've seen the Director's Cut DVD (or some Digital Domain clips on YouTube) you probably wouldn't have known they were effects. That's how good they are".
Looking at the odds, "Atonement" is an unlikely best picture because its director (Joe Wright) wasn't nominated. "Michael Clayton" and "Juno" lack an editing nomination, which (statistically speaking) is crucial to winning the top prize. On the other hand, "Michael Clayton" is honored in three acting categories, for George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton -- and guess which branch of the Academy is the biggest? "No Country for Old Men" didn't claim a lead acting slot, perhaps because it's an ensemble piece. If you go strictly by statistically significant nominations, only "There Will Be Blood" has 'em all -- an old-fashioned Hollywood epic built around a big performance (by a previous Oscar winner). But will its unremittingly bleak nihilism (and the bizarre ending that alienated even some admirers) prove too bitter for Academy voters? -Jim Emerson. Source: Blogs.suntimes.com
"The academy has traditionally been resistant to genre films, which is the only reason I can fathom for the snubbing of "Zodiac" in every category. David Fincher's mesmerizing drama about the obsessive search for the true-life serial killer who terrorized San Francisco in the late '60s and early '70s made many a critic's top 10 list but didn't receive one nomination. Talk about a killer!" Source: Moviesfilter.spaces.live.com
Cinematography --
"Golden Door" and "Zodiac". I like Seamus McGarvey's camerawork for "Atonement," but that's about all the movie is. Starting with The Tracking Shot, the film's wallop is impurely visual. You notice and admire it all the more because none of the characters is as robust as his imagery. I'd swap that out for either of Agnes Godard's photography on "Golden Door" or Harris Savides and David Fincher's work on "Zodiac." Godard helped stage some of the most breathtaking images I've ever seen in a movie, such as hundreds of Italians aboard a boat that, as it peels away from the dock, creates a growing chasm between the passengers and their families that didn't appear to be there. The photography tells the story, not the other way around. Meanwhile, "Zodiac" makes painterly, panoramic use of digital photography. The academy seems to prefer its nominees shot on film. Their loss. In "Zodiac," the format's usual immediacy achieves a haunting scope and textural richness as indelible as the 35mm images nominee Robert Elwit captured for "There Will Be Blood".
