Which Young Actress (Cough, Ellen Page, Cough) Dared To Blow Off The Advances Of Jane Fonda? [Blind Items]

Oh Ellen Page. First you send your "power lesbian" publicist into a tizzy defending your heterosexual honor, then you make a fool out of poor Jay Leno in his own house of belly laughs. Have you really moved on to shun the potty-mouthed legend that is Jane Fonda? One stripper-scripted indie hit on your resume does not entitle you to divadom quite yet. In a scathing NY Daily News blind item today, a "rising young actress" is reported to have brushed off Fonda's desire to meet her at a party with a curse-laden remark, and as our detective skills suggest after the jump, all signs point to Page as the catty star in question.

The full item is as follows:

"Which rising young actress was informed at a recent film party that Jane Fonda wanted to meet her? 'I don't give a [bleep],' came the jaded response."
So we went ahead and researched what Jane Fonda has been up to lately, aside from dropping the C-word on morning television. And when it comes to film parties, only one event lies prominently on her recent social calendar: a New York screening of Page's film Smart People, which Page attended in one of her trademark black bores of a dress. Taking into account the item appears in a column written by a NY party-hopping columnist, plus the ease with which we can imagine Ellen not giving an eff who wants to meet her, Page is number one on our list of suspects. And while we might not necessarily wet our pants at the prospect of meeting Jane in person, we'd still make sure not to voice our opinions in the vicinity of gossip columnists. A lesson both 30 Rocks's Liz Lemon and Ellen might want to relearn.
