Finished filling out your Oscar Pool yet? Hope you put Juno down to win everything, because it’s THE BEST, honest to blog. And before it was a big flashy Oscar movie, the titular star Ellen Page dropped by BWE studios, HERE, to talk to US, to promote IT. Honest to blog! Here’s Jessica St. Clair’s sit-down with the Oscar-nominated actress, and after the jump, as a special bonus, my own awkward banter with this indiewood “Superstar” (get it, like the soundtrack’s cover song by Sonic Youth, who’s totally awesome by the way – HONEST TO BLOG).

BWE.TV FIELD TRIP: The Toys Are Back In Town
We sent BWE.tv correspondent Josh Lay to the 2008 Toy Fair here in New York with specific instructions to get us a preview of the latest line of Bratz dolls. While he failed miserably on this mission (I think he got the dolls and kept them for his own sick purposes), he did manage to chat up Terri Irwin, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and Marie Osmond, who showed him the doll she designed to commemorate passing out on Dancing With the Stars (seriously).

BEST WEEK EVER… The Outtakes!
Sure, you may have watched Best Week Ever 11 times over the weekend… but did you see Best Week Ever’s Outtakes? Of course not, because they’ve never been available before… until now. So make sure to check out the following “off the cuff” remarks from some of your favorite panelists, including Frangela, Paul Scheer, and Paul F. Tompkins, whose appearance in There Will Be Blood* is to sweetness what Daniel Day Lewis is to vein throbbing blood-tensity.
*Which we saw last night, and kind of freaked out about — it’s amazing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some Brahms to listen to and some Manhattan sidewalks to drill. No Country For Old Who? I kid.
