Payola Scandal Rocks Sundance!
I can't believe that cute little Maggie Gyllenhaal accepted payments from the Department of Health and Human Services to pimp Bush's "marriage initiative" -- that just doesn't sound like her! Untalented "Bubbleboy"-star Jake, maybe. But not our indie darling Maggie!
Though this does explain the strong pro-hetero-marriage themes in many of her films -- from Riding in Cars With Boys, the story of a free-thinking rebellious single mother learning the value of marriage to a strong male father-figure, to Mona Lisa Smile, the story of rebellious, free-thinking art professor teaching her students the value of traditional, biblical marriage. Yep. Shoulda seen this one coming. |
