Ellen Page describes coming face-to-face with serial killer of gay people

Ellen Page and co-host Ian Daniel discuss their New Viceland ‘Gaycation’ series in New York Rex

The Oscar-nominated actor Ellen Page has described how she came face-to-face with a self-confessed serial killer of gay people in Brazil while filming a documentary on attitudes to homosexuality.


A former police officer turned hitman told the  X-Men star, who came out in 2014, that he had started his murder spree – which he said involved running over people he believed to be gay – after finding out that his son was homosexual.

The Canadian actor said she had made the Gaycation series, investigating LGBT cultures around the world with digital media company Vice, to highlight the vulnerability of gay people to homophobic discrimination and violence.

In the episode on Brazil, which has one of the highest murder rates of gay and transgender people in the world, the killer, who goes by the alias of “El Grande”, told Page he had carried out murders while serving as a policeman in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.

Speaking with his face covered by a mask, the now ex-officer said: “We used to patrol and the only thing I didn’t like were gays. If I saw them on the way I’d run them over. I did not care what was going on. I didn’t even care for the consequences.” Asked by Page how he felt he could justify his actions, the man continued: “I think every pigsty must be cleaned up. So how do I do my job? By cleaning up what was dirty. For me, they are worse than animals. If they cross my path, I’ll take care of them.”
The killer explained that he had begun his violence after finding his son having sex with another man, adding: “I took issue. I started to hate gays, lesbians or anyone of that kind.”



At one point during the interview, the actor – clearly upset by what she is being told – asked if it was safe to tell her interviewee that she is gay. After doing so, he replied: “You know, each to their own. I live my life and they live theirs. Now, if they cross my path, it’s a different story.”

The 29-year-old actor, who is in a relationship with artist and surfer Samantha Thomas, acknowledged that she had been scared. Speaking at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, she said: “I think we’d be lying if we said we didn’t feel frightened… You’re not thinking about yourself. You’re thinking about the vulnerable people who are walking the streets of Rio and might not know this man is walking right by them or he might just run them over in his car.”

The actor, who recently confronted Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz at a rally about gay rights, said America needed to do more to end the isolation of minorities. She said: “If we’re in any way perpetuating a society that discriminates and treats people unfairly and doesn’t strive toward true equality, you cause a lot of harm in people’s lives, and a lot of pain and a lot of difficulty.”

She added: “There can be such loneliness and isolation when you’re growing up in a society that does infuse this idea in you that you’re different or something’s wrong or you’re sinful… I’m privileged; I live in LA; I’ve done a job that has given me money; I can walk down the street and kiss my girlfriend. I think a lot about those more vulnerable than me.”

Canadians hold centre stage at White House state dinner


Before Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains saw Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds at the White House state dinner, he didn’t know what to expect.


“I must confess, in real life,” Mr. Bains said, pausing for effect, “he’s got big muscles.”

“He’s an intimidating guy.”

Intimidating, but grateful: Mr. Bains said the Vancouver-born movie star, who attended the dinner with his wife, Blake Lively, met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and told him he was proud to be Canadian and thrilled to be there.

Mr. Bains, smiling but bleary-eyed, was speaking the day after the historic event hosted by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. Between the dinner, the after-party on the rooftop of Washington’s posh W Hotel, and official meetings and events, Mr. Bains estimated he’d only had about an hour’s sleep.

But, like most of the 22-member Canadian delegation, he was still wired from the night before.

At the dinner, Mr. Bains sat at one of the round tables in the White House’s stately east room beside Lisa Monaco, the president’s homeland security and counterterrorism adviser.

As they dined on lamb chops and maple pecan cake, the two talked about their respective portfolios of economy and security, but also discussed the lighter, but no less important subjects, of family and golf.

“It was really a special evening,” Mr. Bains said.

Mr. Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau’s three-day visit to Washington included an official welcoming ceremony on the White House lawn and a state luncheon.

But the state dinner was the apex of hospitality.

The first for a Canadian Prime Minister in 19 years, it was a dinner party with the most powerful people in the world, at one of the grandest residences in the world, where Canadians held the attention of a nation – if only for a night.

“There are parts of [a] visit like this that are undeniably fun,” Mr. Trudeau said Friday, speaking at the Center for American Progress luncheon in the Mayflower Hotel.

“Last night’s state dinner was just wonderful. It was a coming together of friends who have much in common, much to celebrate. And not just at the head table, but across and throughout the room.”

At the dinner itself, Mr. Trudeau toasted Mr. Obama “on behalf of 36 million Americans,” which a top official from his office says was an accident.

“He meant to say Canadians,” Mr. Trudeau’s principal secretary Gerald Butts told The Globe and Mail.

U.S. Ambassador Bruce Heyman and his wife, Vicki, sat at a table with Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., David MacNaughton, and his wife, Leslie Noble.

“It was warm, magical, the energy was palpable,” Ms. Heyman said. “Just a lot of love in the room, and respect and admiration and history.”

Ms. Heyman, who wore a navy and floral Oscar de la Renta gown, said guests spent a lot of time mingling between tables.

She added that there was a “multigenerational” feel to the dinner, with Ms. Grégoire-Trudeau’s parents and Margaret Trudeau in attendance, as well as Mr. Obama’s girls, Malia and Sasha.

“There was a wonderful familial connection,” she said.

The head table included the leaders and their wives, as well as actor Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan. Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels sat at a nearby table beside Malia Obama and Canadian actress Sandra Oh.

On his way into the dinner, Mr. Fox told reporters, “It’s terrific that our countries have a fresh start. It’s nice to see.”

When asked about Mr. Trudeau, he said, “He’s cool.”

“I was a fan of his dad. When I was a kid, I used to say we had the coolest world leader going. His son is pretty cool, too.”

Word has it that members of the Prime Minister’s inner circle were even taken into the Oval Office for a private tour with White House chief of staff Denis McDonough.

Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively were in the front row for the evening’s entertainment in the purple-lit state dining room, which featured American singer Sara Bareilles and young women from Washington’s Children of the Gospel Choir. As the group’s powerful voices filled the space, Ms. Obama moved to the music in her chair, and gave the girls high-fives on their way out.

At the state department luncheon earlier in the day hosted by Secretary of State John Kerry, Montreal-bred singer Rufus Wainwright serenaded guests at the piano with three songs, including Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, which was Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Grégoire-Trudeau’s wedding song.

Mathieu Bouchard, a senior adviser in the PMO, said he was “impressed” with the luncheon, particularly in seeing the antechamber beforehand, which contained President Thomas Jefferson’s desk and the 1973 Paris peace accord.

“You see the importance that they place on preserving institutional history,” he said.

Mr. Bouchard said it was inspiring to see how the Americans look beyond partisan lines when it comes to history, noting that two former Republican secretaries of state, Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger, sat at the head table during the luncheon, beside Ms. Grégoire-Trudeau.

“How often do you see that in Canada?” he said.

“Despite the fact that their politics are much more divisive than ours, they treat the functions with more respect.”

Listen to new track from ex-Vampire Weekend member Rostam



Former Vampire Weekend Rostam Batmanglij has debuted a new solo song and video called 'Gravity Don't Pull Me' - scroll down to watch it.

The video shows Rostam singing 'Gravity Don't Pull Me' against the backdrop of a dance routine choreographed and performed by YouTube dancers Jack Grabow and Sam Asa Pratt.

"This video was in some ways years in the making," Rostam said as it dropped. "In 2010 I came across a YouTube video Jack Grabow posted when he was a senior in high school of himself improvising dance to the [Vampire Weekend] song 'I Think Ur a Contra'. 

"I was really proud of the drum parts I'd written for the end of the song and I felt like he was able to capture those rhythms in a serious way - I got a feeling he understood what I was getting at in a way that I wondered if anyone ever would."

Rostam continued: "When I finished a version of 'Gravity Don't Pull Me' in the fall of 2015, Jack was one of the first people I sent it to. I was pretty clear on what I wanted – Jack to choreograph a dance to be mirrored by another dancer for a symmetrically shot performance on camera. 

"He chose to bring in Sam Asa Pratt. The two had been in the same dance club in high school and I recognised Sam from a video he'd posted of himself dancing to the song 'Osaka Loop Line' from the Discovery album."

Meanwhile, a press release from Rostam's label XL Recordings has promised that 'Gravity Don't Pull Me' will be one of a "collection of singles" the artist intends to drop in 2016. He previously released the tracks 'Wood' and 'EOS'.

Rostam announced his departure from Vampire Weekend in January, citing his desire to develop a solo career.

Battenfeld: IndyCar sells tickets, Walsh stands by



Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh has backed down and OK’d the sale of IndyCar tickets despite promoters still lacking a single permit from the city and state to turn the Seaport District into a noisy, high-speed race course.


Walsh last November had blocked Grand Prix of Boston from selling tickets to the Labor Day weekend event, saying they needed to get signed final approvals from the city and state.

But the mayor’s office said yesterday he was informed that Grand Prix of Boston would start selling tickets to the public next week, and a spokeswoman said he did not object.

It’s unclear why Walsh reversed himself, but race promoters have been under pressure from nervous investors to get the necessary permits to hold the race. That pressure led to the promoters, city and state signing an “intent” agreement last December.

Promoters have refused to disclose their investors but say they have enough financial backing to make the race a success.

Race officials yesterday said a final agreement was imminent. It’s at least the third time promoters have asserted that deals with Walsh and state agencies were imminent or close to being signed.

The Grand Prix group also asserted in December that tickets could go on sale before the end of the year, but three months later no agreements have been signed. The promoters also may need approval from environmental agencies to build the course over a contaminated waste site behind the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

A spokesman for the EPA did not return calls from the Herald for the past two days to answer questions about whether race promoters need to get permits from the federal agency.

Walsh personally brought the race to the city despite getting no input from Seaport District residents and he has staunchly defended it despite a series of stumbles and a change in leadership from the promoters.

Walsh’s original agreement with Grand Prix of Boston would have forced the city and state agencies to pay potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars for repaving and other street improvements. After being criticized for that deal, Walsh and promoters agreed to revoke it and now no public money will be used for the race.

A group of Seaport District residents have organized to oppose the race, saying they have concerns about the event creating major traffic problems in their neighborhood as well as race cars hurtling through the streets at up to 180 miles per hour.

'Beetlejuice 2' is not happening, despite report

Director Tim Burton speaks as he receives the SAMURAI award during the closing ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival in Tokyo October 31, 2014. REUTERS/Yuya Shino (JAPAN - Tags: ENTERTAINMENT SOCIETY)

Saying Beetlejuice three times (for nearly three decades) just isn’t enough.

Despite a recent report that Tim Burton himself said a "Beetlejuice" sequel is a go, FOX411 has learned that isn’t the case. 

Showbizspy.com reported the filmmaker said "Beetlejuice 2" had been approved by the Warner Bros. team and that cast members Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton were on board. Turns out, that report is a hoax. 

Burton’s publicist tells us he did not provide a "Beetlejuice 2 statement" to the website since the movie is not in development. Plus they said Burton’s focus is entirely on his other films, such as “Miss Preegrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” and “Dumbo.”

There was a similar enthusiastic reaction last year when Ryder herself alluded to there being a sequel. Fans continue to express their desire to see the ghost with the most once again they'll just have to keep waiting.

Flaked review: Netflix's other Will Arnett dramedy



There is a great funny-sad TV series to be made from Will Arnett playing a decayed self-loathing hedonist slacking through a midlife crisis in evocative Los Angeles locations. And Netflix already made that show: Bojack Horseman season 3, coming soon! Flaked neighborhood-shifts Arnett from decadent Hollywood to bohore Venice. It’s also not animated, features no talking animals, and is powers-of-ten less realistic.

Arnett plays furniture store owner Chip, a onetime drunk living a life of perpetual recovery. Flaked opens with Chip leading a meeting, explaining his own grim backstory by way of helping other addicts struggle toward recovery. Unfortunately, in its first few episodes, Flaked is mostly about Chip struggling with all the goshdarn women who can’t stop sleeping with him. It’s Californication with more tattoos and terrible.

I love Arnett; I love the weird way he can make preening narcissism look melancholy. He has a great presence onscreen: That forehead, those wild eyes, the general ambience of Patrick Wilson gone Bizarro. But Flaked is another horrid post-Togetherness dramcom that’s too cute to be serious and too lame to be funny. In one episode, there’s a gag about sticking a finger up a dog’s butt. And how about that hipster coffee? Expensive, amiright?

Full Disclosure: To write this review, I watched the first four episodes of Flaked. They are harmless. Ruth Kearney plays a bland love interest named London, and Heather Graham pops in to play Arnett’s ludicrously successful actress ex-wife. After watching four boring and aimless episodes, I figured I had seen all the show had to offer. But it turns out there is a Big Twist later in the season which simultaneously tries to “explain” the first few episodes while also removing whatever emotional resonance the show seemed to be going for. Binge at your peril.

Taylor Swift to perform at F1 Grand Prix



Pop star Taylor Swift is set to perform at the United States' Formula One Grand Prix.

The 26-year-old 'Blank Space' hitmaker has been drafted in to perform at the event in Austin, Texas on Saturday October 22 and organisers hope it will help to attract spectators, reported Female First.

Circuit of the Americas chairman Bobby Epstein said, "How do we expand our audience? That's what this headliner does. In the past we have chosen headliners that are a great match with our existing demographic. But I don't need our existing demographic alone. We need the future. We think we will sell every ticket that we have got and it is because of the combination of both Formula 1 and Taylor Swift."

‘Spring Break for nerds’ kicks off Friday in Austin, Texas

FILE - In this Saturday, March 14, 2015, file photo, JJ Castillo, from left, Vanessa Cottingham, and Pamela Ledbetter, wave at a Koceto Jo prototype 360-degree view video camera during the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. At South by Southwest Interactive, an annual tech festival dubbed “Spring Break for nerds,” eyes are on virtual reality, online privacy and, of course, the latest hot apps. The five-day festival kicks off Friday, March 11, 2016, in Austin, Texas.
NEW YORK (AP) - The smell of BBQ is in the air and talk about virtual reality, online privacy and the latest hot apps is on everyone’s minds. It’s time again for South by Southwest Interactive, an annual tech festival dubbed “Spring Break for nerds.”

The five-day festival, which kicks off Friday in Austin, Texas, is more freewheeling than other tech conferences like CES in Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. It’s where St. Bernards delivering Mophie smartphone chargers to festival goers - as the charger maker arranged last year - can garner as much buzz as the apps brought to fame there, including Foursquare in 2009 and Twitter in 2007.

“It’s an interesting place to see what types of things are bubbling up in technology,” said Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt, a service for people to rate new tech products. “It has this mixture or collision of technology and entertainment. When different types of minds and people are connecting together, new ideas come out.”

The festival has grown larger and more corporate over the years, with sponsors including McDonald’s and Samsung, but it still draws an eclectic crowd of movers and shakers in the tech industry each year.

This year’s sessions include one on a futuristic transportation system, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which aims to move people in a capsule inside an enclosed tube track at 760 miles per hour - faster than commercial airliners.

Twitter co-founder Biz Stone will discuss the evolution of online search, while “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams and “The Jinx” director Andrew Jarecki will tout Jarecki’s new app for video editing and sharing, KnowMe.

Even President Obama will make an appearance, the first for a U.S. president at the festival. He plans to talk about civic engagement with the editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit news outlet based in Austin.

Ethan Kurzweil, a Bessemer venture capitalist who has attended the festival for eight years, said that while South by Southwest Interactive is no longer the little-known yet influential festival it once was, “you can still hear people talking about the very-bleeding-edge consumer tech trends.”

South by Southwest Interactive is part of the larger SXSW festival, which also features sections for movies, music and games over 10 days. The interactive conference drew 33,825 registrants from more than 80 countries last year; the combined festival had about 80,000.

Organizers drew criticism several months ago when, faced with threats, they canceled two panels on harassment in online video games. In response, the festival will hold a daylong “online harassment summit” on Saturday, with a slate of panels examining the problem of online harassment.

Another hot topic will be the U.S. government’s demands that Apple create a software program to bypass security features in an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino mass shooters. One panel will focus on ways to improve the relationship between the government and the tech industry, while preserving privacy and security.

And virtual reality will continue to garner buzz, particularly as many systems such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Sony Playstation VR are expected to hit the market this year. Some sessions will be part of the SXSW gaming festival, which runs March 17 to 19. But the interactive festival will have such panels as “Holy light field! Creating lifelike presence in VR.” And Samsung will show off VR chairs that offer motion simulation as people wear Samsung’s $100 VR headset, Gear VR.

Zendaya cast in ‘Spider-Man’ reboot


Zendaya has been caught in the web of Sony's "Spider-Man" reboot.

The Disney Channel actress pasted her screen-tests opposite star Tom Holland, who plays the titular superhero and his alter ego Peter Parker to land a role in the franchise, Variety is reporting.

The top-secret part is not believed to have a lot of screen time in the movie that hits theaters July 28, 2017, but will grow in future sequels.
She won't be playing a new version of Peter Parker's famous love interests — Mary Jane Watson, played by Kristen Dunst in the "Spider-Man" trilogy, or Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone in the "Amazing Spider-Man." films.

Deadline reported that Zendaya, 20, will be playing a character named Michelle, possibly based on Parker's former roommate from the comics named Michelle Gonzalez.
The casting of Zendaya, who was famous to a generation of kids for her show, "Shake It Up!" and to her parents for her run on "Dancing With the Stars," fits with Marvel and Sony's plan to return the superhero to his comic roots as a teenager.

Spider-Man is at the center of a blockbuster deal between Marvel and Sony. To comic fans' delight, the character will be rebooted with the more popular Marvel shared cinematic universe in this summer's "Captain America: Civil War."
Sony, however, still maintains rights to the standalone "Spider-Man" films, though Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will be a co-producer on the first flick with former Sony president Amy Pascal.

Directed by Jon Watts, the movie also will star Marisa Tomei as Aunt May.

After ‘Downton Abbey,’ stars move on to lawbreaking roles

Michelle Dockery's new role as a sleazy ex-con on "Good Behavior," is a far cry from her coolly elegant Lady Mary on "Downton Abbey."
What’s happening to certain “Downton Abbey” stars is downright criminal.

Joanne Froggatt, the TV drama’s vulnerable Anna Bates, is morphing into a 19th-century serial killer in PBS’ “Dark Angel.” Michelle Dockery, who plays coolly elegant Lady Mary, is a sleazy American ex-convict in TNT’s “Good Behavior.” And Kevin Doyle, the good-hearted Mr. Molesley, is a bad-hearted police detective in Netflix’s “Happy Valley.”

The end of “Downton Abbey” on PBS’ “Masterpiece” tonight after six seasons means new career paths for its stars, with both the upstairs and downstairs crew embracing change-of-pace roles — although devoted viewers may want to enshrine them forever as their beloved characters.

“Anybody who’s watched and loved ‘Downton’ is going to remember these characters for the rest of their lives,” said executive producer Gareth Neame. But cast members “can’t put a pin in their career and say that’s it.”

Joanne Froggatt will portray a 19th century serial killer on PBS’ “Dark Angel.”

British actors are especially keen on variety and like “to move away from things they’ve been previously successful with,” Neame said.

Froggatt said change is part of acting’s allure.

“After playing a role that you’ve loved playing for years, there is a certain part of you that goes, ‘I fancy doing something a bit different,’ ” she said.

“After playing a role that you’ve loved playing for years, there is a certain part of you that goes, ‘I fancy doing something a bit different,’ ” she said.

That’s the path taken by Dan Stevens, who’s avoided lord-of-the-manor roles since playing Matthew Crawley in the drama’s first three seasons. Among his upcoming projects: the films “Beauty and the Beast” and sci-fi drama “Colossal,” and “Legion,” a Marvel Comics-based TV pilot for FX.

After the “Downton Abbey” finale, here’s where to find its former gentry and servants:

• Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham): Possibly the actor staying closest to his “Downton” pedigree, he plays Lord Louis Mountbatten in the Indian independence movie “Viceroy’s House.”

• Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith): Takes on a sibling role again in the 1940s history-based romance, “A United Kingdom,” introducing her sister to her future husband, an African prince.

• Brendan Coyle (John Bates): Plays English politician Augustine Birrell in the historical Irish film drama “The Rising.” Also in the romantic movie “Me Before You,” based on the novel by Jojo Moyes.

• Elizabeth McGovern (Lady Cora): Writing and recording her fourth album with the band Sadie and the Hotheads. In April, starting rehearsals at the National Theatre in London for “Sunset at the Villa Thalia.”

• Lilly James (Lady Rose): Takes on a classic part, Elizabeth Bennet, in an adaptation of the non-classic parody of Jane Austen’s novel, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” In “The Kaiser’s Last Kiss,” a German soldier falls in love with James’ Jewish Dutchwoman.

• Allen Leech (Tom Branson): In the film “Hunter’s Prayer,” based on Kevin Wignall’s novel “For the Dogs,” Leech plays the former boss of a hired assassin whose assignment goes awry.

• Penelope Wilton (Isobel Crawley): As lonely wife Pauline in the upcoming British TV series “Brief Encounters,” set in the 1980s, Wilton is one of four women whose lives are changed when they start selling exotic lingerie at house parties.

Lady Gaga Gets One Step Closer To An EGOT With Best Song Oscar Nomination


You know Lady Gaga's inner teenage theater geek is fully LIVING right now.

After winning a Golden Globe (and some Leonardo DiCaprio side-eye) for her performance as The Countess in "American Horror Story: Hotel," Lady Gaga, 29, scored a much-deserved Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song for "Til It Happens to You."

Gaga co-wrote the track with Diane Warren for "The Hunting Ground," a shocking expose of rape crimes on college campuses across the US. The film, unfortunately, was shut out of the documentary feature category.

The "Born This Way" singer posted a powerful note on Instagram, dedicating the nomination to "victims & survivors all over the world."

"Thank you to the Academy for recognizing the movement of people who have come together around 'The Hunting Ground' and 'Til It Happens To You' in the name of sexual assault," she said in an official statement. "Diane Warren and I are simply honored to represent the voices of so many survivors.”
Although her Golden Globe won't count toward the much-coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), if Gaga wins the Oscar, she will be halfway to securing the ultimate title in Hollywood, shared only by greats like Barbra Streisand and Liza Minnelli. 
She already has six Grammy wins to her name. 
The singer just has to beat out "Earned It," from "50 Shades of Grey," "Writing's on the Wall" from "Spectre," "Simple Song #3" from "Youth" and "Manta Ray" from "Racing Extinction."
Sam Smith took home the Golden Globe for his snoozeworthy "Spectre" theme on Sunday, but we have a good feeling Gaga might take home the crown come Oscar time. She is queen, after all. 
Watch the music video for "Til It Happens to You" below.
