And it will all be televised. Also today: good news for fans of TNT cop shows, good news for fans of FX crime shows, bad news for fans of USA doctor shows, and mixed news for fans of nerd shows.

Imagine acting in a film opposite Ellen Page; every day on set must be a bundle of Diablo Cody-scripted larfs, right? According to Marcia Gay Harden, not so much! Harden and her daughter play members of Page's family in Drew Barrymore's upcoming directorial debut Whip It!, and both told MTV that the Juno actress simply would not submit to their months-long campaign of laugh harassment:

This morning's Defamer Attractions was gravely remiss in omitting Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage from its assortment of hot new DVD releases. Our consciences ache even worse after today's revelation of a fascinating production memo by Kinkade himself, the evangelical "Painter of Light" whose 16-point missive for achieving the most faithful adaptation of his woodsy cornball nursing-home art wound up leaked to Vanity Fair.In the video above, featured modestly on the Christmas Cottage Web site, Kinkade promises an autobiographical family classic featuring Peter O'Toole, Marcia Gay Harden and Jared Paladecki, and which holds its own against It's a Wonderful Life. Bold claims all, especially considering Cottage went straight to DVD. Still, considering the explicit directions excerpted here, what could possibly go wrong? Apart from the Kubrick references, that is:

Terry Richardson turns 43 today. We're guessing whatever Terry has planned this evening will involve plenty of liquor and barely-legal girls in their underwear. Maybe Lady Bunny can come over, too. She (he?) turns 46 today. Also celebrating today: playwright Thomas Meehan is 79, Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden is turning 49, and another Oscar winner, Halle Berry, is 42. Magic Johnson is 49. Theater producer Allan Buchman is celebrating his 63rd. Actress Mila Kunis is 25. And America's Next Top Model's Jay Manuel turns 36.

Oh Ellen Page. Why must you make it so easy to spark lesbionic rumors after every public appearance, from outfits showcasing your boyish frame, hiring a Power Lesbian publicist to defend your Non-Power Lesbian status, and showing Jay Leno and the country just how masculine your workout moves are? Not to mention that business of stroking your phantom goatee during the macho exercises in question? Adding more flame to the female-loving fire, Page is currently filming Whip It! in Michigan alongside Drew Barrymore in the newly single actress’ directorial debut. And after hearing the trajectory of Page’s star character Bliss, including every budding Chic Lesbian’s preference of roller derby races over that superficial tradition of beauty pageants (note: we are just imagining what Ellen’s Us-recruited body language expert would "think"), we can't exactly believe with certainty that Page isn't a member of Closeted Hollywood. Not to mention these photos of the Diablo-spawned prodigy on set looking her makeup-free, greasy-haired, baggy sweatpants-wearing finest:

Marcia Gay Harden is an Oscar-winning film, TV, and stage actress. She landed her first break when cast in Joel and Ethan Coen's 1990 film Miller's Crossing alongside Gabriel Byrne and John Turturro. In 1993, she starred in Tony Kushner's Angels in America, which earned her a Tony nomination. Harden continued to play small parts on stage and in films throughout the '90s, but her career-making role didn't come until 2000, when she starred opposite Ed Harris in the biopic Pollock and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Since then, she's given solid performances in over a dozen films (of varying levels of quality), including Mystic River (for which she earned an Oscar nomination), Mona Lisa Smile, Bad News Bears, and American Dreamz. In 2009, she returned to Broadway with God of Carnage, winning a Best Actress Tony for her performance. She's been nominated twice for an Emmy—first for a guest role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2007, then for her role in the TV film The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler in 2009—but didn't win for either, keeping her as yet from the coveted "triple crown" (Oscar, Tony, Emmy).
