Ellen DeGeneres: March 2008 Archives

Unlike bone-headed Jay Leno last week, Ellen DeGeneres has an intelligent conversation with the actor and never asks Ryan for his "best gay look." Enjoy the clip!!

The conversation is good, but the real highlight is the dancing...

Enjoy!

This item makes me wish Ellen DeGeneres could just take over the hosting of "American Idol" over an increasingly lame Ryan Seacrest who, too many times this season, is painful to watch. Especially that weird dynamic with Simon.

Anyway, Ellen and Ryan will co-host of "Idol Gives Back," the fundraiser which airs April 9 on FOX.

"Everyone knows it's better to give than to receive," DeGeneres said in a statement about the gig. "That's why I want to give you some advice. You get the advice and I get the joy of giving -- it's a win-win. Here it is: Give yourself a treat and watch 'Idol Gives Back.' Again, you get the joy of giving and an amazing line-up of artists get to give us an incredible show. Last year, we were able to give away over $76 million. You give, you get. Get it?"

Money raised by the special will be donated to the Children's Defense Fund, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Make It Right, Malaria No More and Save The Children.

God bless Ellen DeGeneres.

More and more, she is using her television show to speak out about injustice and always does it with just the right tone. I haven't posted about Oklahoma state Representative Sally Kern's anti-gay tirade where she declared that "I honestly think (homosexuality is) the biggest threat, even more than terrorism" because I was afraid I'd go off and call her a %@#! and a *&#@%!!!!!

Ellen played for her audience the horrible words spoken by this woman and the looks on the faces of her audiences as they listened spoke volumes.

"I feel like there's some misinformation going on here and I think I need to call her," Ellen told the audience.

As she listened to the phone ring, Ellen added, "I'm trying to figure out which societies have disappeared that we don't know about."

Kern's voicemail was full (gee, big surprise) so Ellen left a message via the airwaves: "Give me call, I'm here usually and also later on I'll be at the Dinah Shore Golf Tournament, of course, that's if it doesn't conflict with the women's basketball games I go to."
