Ellen + Evan = LezCrush Squared

Go ahead, call me a horrible person, but the first thing I thought when it was announced that Evan Rachel Wood and her husband Jamie Bell were splitting up late last week was, “Oooh, I hope she hooks up with Ellen Page now.” Yes, like I said – I’m a horrible person. Look, breakups are always sad and more so when there is a child involved. It can’t be easy. But, admit it, we all have Fantasy Celebrity Couple Crushes we want to see happen. And this is one of them. (For further reference, please see past Fantasy Celebrity Couple Crush Ellen and Clea – though given recent revelations the “Fantasy” part may now be more in question.)

The thing about this FCCC (yes, I’ve acronymized it, so sue me) is how perfect it would be if it happened. They’re both talented actresses. They’re both out. They’re both into totally lezzie trucker hats. See, perfect. Of course, they’re probably just really good friends, yadda yadda. Plus they’re playing sisters in the new post-apocalyptic drama “Into the Forest.” And Ellen just called Evan her “good pal (and movie sister).” So no one is really down with movie incest, no matter how many times they might have watched “Sister, My Sister” in their youth. But still, the dream is so hard to shake. Just imagine the possibilities. The tomboy fierceness would be off the charts. I mean, I don’t even think they make enough Wildfang clothing to cover it all. Sigh, well, I guess that’s why they call it a fantasy.

p.s. Duuuude, how excited are you about “Into the Forest?” SO EXCITED. Ellen and Evan and out director out filmmaker Patricia Rozema – whose previous credits include “When Night Is Falling,” “Mansfield Park” and “I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing” – all working together? YES and PLEASE.

So happy to read this.... makes me feel better knowing that my first thought headed into that direction as well.
No matter what happens in the future I wish Evan and Jamie the very best and am happy that they are mature enough to realize that they need to do whatever is best for their child.
As for Evan and any future relationship she may have, I wish her only the very best, no matter who she may end up with.

I've heard the Mermaids Singing is my second favorite movie. When Night is Falling is also amazing.

Well, that's where 950 commentators went after they heard the news on Autostraddle!

OK, that's a tad exaggerated!

Still, here's my two cents: I think they're good buddies, but I don't think they're each other's type. I reckon Ellen goes for someone older, and Evan goes for someone more femme.

Whatever, it'll be brilliant to see them in a movie together.

Personally, I went there. But I also read or heard (can't remember exactly) that Ellen was actually seeing someone. THEN the ERW JB divorce news came out. And since they're hanging out a lot, I went there. So there. HEH.
