We now have proof: “Juno” star Ellen Page stands about three MTV Movie Awards tall.

Ballots for the Emmys are being sent to voters this week. Fortunately, this year the ballots have been programmed to self-destruct if anyone votes for “Two and a Half Men.”

9. Way harsh
Stephanie Pratt of “The Hills” says producers are forcing her to take “summer classes.” Possibly the worst tragedy on “The Hills” since LC’s last breakup.
