Ellen DeGeneres

[Proud1p4]

Well in no way am i her biggest fan, but i love her and love her talkshow, so i guess i could say i'm a fan. I was wondering how many of you are "fans" too. Love her? Hate her? Let me know...

(PS: Let's throw a poll in just for amusement's sake:p )

[nisomer]

I've only watched bits and pieces of her show a couple of times....so I guess I'm really not inclined to vote...:icon_conf

[Paul_UK]

I have no idea who she is (though I vaguely remember hearing about an "Ellen" who came out) so I voted for the last option.

[lost]

I'm with Paul - I have no idea who she is. I guess it is a name that hasn't hit this shore.

Who is she?

[Paul_UK]

There is a bit of info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_DeGeneres (see the Personal Life section) and here http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1999/apr/04-09-99/news/news5.html but I'm still unaware of what the impact or significance of this is.

She played Dory in "Finding Nemo."

Ellen is awesome. I totally remember the episode of the show in which she came out -- as a character but really as herself too. It was wonderful.

[tired_of_lying411]

she's amazing!!! she has this way of being a really great role model. She can be loved by everyone, have them all know her sexuality and manage not to shove it down their throats.
a truely incredible woman... martha, eat your HEART out!

[Proud1p4]

Well its interesting that not many people have heard of her...but it seems, those who do know of her, love her...no votes at the moment for 'hate her'...but i agree with the previous post in saying that she is a personal role model, and i guess heroine in my eyes...but hopefully we'll get some more posts and get some more peoples opinions.

ok well im not in love with her but i did watch the 1st episode of her show (i was home sick that day lol) and ill watch every now in then... if it wasnt for oprah gives (well the compony gives while on her show) cars n such every now and then im sure that ellen would have the show everyone wanted to see because it looks like FUN not just listening to people talk and blah de blah but enteractment with people plus ellen is FUN... and i know shes a lesbian but thats not ALL she is about and i like that

i know this topic is older then dirt and so is the other one im posting on but yea i went threw all the topics and found iti

[Proud1p4]

Yay...i love when my dirt-old topics come back from a long long death...oops conceided...maybe.:icon_wink :lol:

[tired_of_lying411]

Did anyone see TR Knight on Ellen recently? He was talking about hos he came out.. It was really great.

He really inspired me to come out to my dad :icon_bigg

I wish I could tell him that.

I love Ellen so much. She's funny, she's proud, she's cute. I love her for (one of ) the same reason I love Rosie O'Donnel *ducks from a missile shot by an Apprentice junkie* that she's out there in the public eye and could care less. I mean, she kisses her partner alot in public and on TV, she acts like a couple... I think when that's shown more people will start to get a better message. Just...Ellen is funnier. =P

YOSSSSSS!!!

HARDCORE ROSIE FAN RIGHT HERE!!

I'D TAKE A BULLET FOR ROSIE..

i used to watch The View casually but now it's a do-or-die thing.

ROSIE = LIFE...

ELLEN = ALMOST-BUT-JUST-SHORT-OF-LIFE

[GuitarGirl1350]

HIGH FIVES FOR THE ROSIE FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T.R. Knight is amazing. I love him on Grey's Anatomy- he's always been my favorite.
On the other hand, I really can't stand Issiah Washington. Becuase after this whole mess happened with them, Issiah is all teamed up with PFLAG and going to therapy to rehabilitate himself and find out why he called T.R. a faggot TWICE in public. It's not like he cares who he offended or he wouldn't have done it a second time- right now, he's trying to save his JOB by teaming up with PFLAG and doing all this "rehab" crap. He doesn't care that he said it, all he cares about is that Grey's Anatomy is one of the top-rated TV shows right now and he's getting paid more than a human could ever want. Once this mess dies down, he's going to quit the PFLAG campaign, he'll stop going to "therapy" and "rehab", and he'll be in his happy little life with his happy little multimillion dollar job and his smug little grin... WHAT a DICK. The worst part? There's rumor that T.R. might leave Grey's Anatomy over the "toxic envirnoment on the set". (Or, that's what I read on MSN news.) Still just a rumor though- what would we do without Dr. George O'Malley?! Izzie wouldn't have a sidekick!

For those of you who don't know what this was or don't live in an area that has Grey's Anatomy (which I think is America and Canada, I don't know about the UK or Aussie land. Sorry) basically, Issiah Washington called T.R. Knight, his castmember, a faggot and then did it again at the Golden Globe awards...AS THEY WERE GETTING AN AWARD!

Anywho, to end it on a happy note, new Grey's Anatomy tonight!!!

i cant stand rosie...

i use to think she was the greatest thing going but really... shes soooo overly... like uber gay advocate and i think there is a right way and a wrong way... she just makes me hate the fact i like people of the same sex... thats why i like ellen SO much better

ellen is proud... but thats not WHAT she is its a part of her not completely her rosie is all about it everytime i see her itis that or well now she things trumps being mean to fat people.... *cough* exercise *cough* ...sorry i have no sympathy... but if your happy that way then CONGRATS!!! im happy for you.... its whatever you want

[GuitarGirl1350]

Hmm, is it made stronger because Rosie's fat?

[tired_of_lying411]

YEAH!!! GO TR KNIGHT!!!!
He's one of the cutest little cuties on TV :) (liked the longer hair, tho)

I didn't know about all the new developments with Issiah, tho. He's such an ass.
I hope no one gets canned tho. I just love the show the way it is too much :)

Basically, I just echo everything GuitarGirl said.



And Grey's was AMAZING last night :)

[GuitarGirl1350]

AHHH I KNOW!!! I can't to see if Meredeth is okay....I know they won't kill her off (because it's GREY's anatomy, not Chang's anatomy or O'Malley's anatomy!) but they could write her to be near-death. Hmm...That guy was so stupid though, she's saving his life so he throws her off a dock...I dunno if it was intentional or not.

I don't really want him to get fired either, but I can't help feeling like he deserves it. The show WOULD have worked without him a couple weeks ago when his hand was all messed up, but now that he and Chang are engaged, I'm guessing it probably won't. He's safe...
