Ellen DeGeneres to shoot variety special...

I don't know about you, but I can never get enough of Ellen DeGeneres. She's one of those people who wears well and you're always glad to see her on your TV screen. Ellen, an Emmy nominee for her Oscar hosting gig, will shoot a two-hour variety show for TBS at the Comedy Festival in Las Vegas in November.
"Ellen's Really Big Show" will feature performances by comedic and musical talents and be shot at TCF, organized by HBO and AEG Live, at Caesars Palace. It premieres Sunday, Nov. 18, on TBS, a title sponsor for TCF.
Says Ellen: "I'm very happy to be working with TBS. I usually put two TBS of sugar in my coffee every day, so this is a dream come true for me."

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
