Ellen DeGeneres, Cover Girl model...
Ellen DeGeneres is so many things Emmy winning talk show host, American Express spokeswoman, wife to Portia de Rossi. Now Ellen is going where no 50-year-old lesbian has ever gone before: she is the newest face for CoverGirl cosmetics, it was announced this week.
How great is THAT?
Ellen talked about her new glamorous gig on her talk show Wednesday: "They're putting some lip liner on me--man they love lip liner. Man, they love lip liner. [The makeup artist] was just there for lip liner. I am very, very excited about it. It's a very cool thing, I'm honored, and the photo shoot was 'Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, CoverGirl.'"
Ellen's campaign is scheduled to debut in magazines and on television by January 2009.
NOTE: The photo is from an unrelated shoot some time ago. I just thought it was kinda cool.

As much as I like Ellen, but really.. spokesperson for cosmetics? A few seasons back she did some sort of makeover show where she was challenged to change her wardrobe and she put up such a fuss about not wearing pants, and now to be plug makeup? You would think they would have approached Portia instead. I'm just sayin..
