As the mother-in-law of a Marine serving in Iraq, I say that if Ellen is sincere in her motive for doing this, then good on her.

Well, she could have just sit there and bitched and complained, and made snide remarks,like the rest of Entertainment.

This is concrete. This isn't just tying a yellow ribbon and just saying that you support the troops.
She may have vices, but I'll give her a pass from now on.

I guess this would be a good time to write notes thanking Celebrity Cruises as well!

We seem to be quick on sending notes saying we disapprove of companies (and I agree with this and join in often); maybe sending positive notes when they do things right is a good idea also.

Actually, thank Celebrity Cruises because they were the ones that gave away over a million dollars in vacation cruises. I'm glad that Ellen used her show for this good thing, but it probably wasn't even her idea.

I'll give her the temporary benefit of the doubt.

She went 'Middle Aged Crazy' and destroyed her career.
Lots of middle aged guys ruin their lives over a hot chick and have to start over.

Not a big fan of Ellen.

But I will give her Kudo's for this.

I think Ellen is a genuinely nice person-unlike Rosie O'Donnell. This was a very nice gesture. Atleast she supports the troops.

Good for her. I think she's hilarious when she stays off the gay schtick. There are all sorts of ways a celebrity can get publicity for giving stuff away, especially around the holidays - I think this was a really neat gesture.

Celebrity Cruises is providing the vacations

She is giving nothing, just taking the credit for Celebrity Cruise Lines' generous donation.

Hillary CLinton claims to be an "Evangelical Christian" and "conservative".

Hillary Clinton has a cookie recipe in the Clinton LIEbrary.

Ellen "Degenerate" gives away cruises to members of the military.

The left has made it clear that they will fake anything to full the public and make Blue turn to Purple and make Purple turn to Red in order to win the White House in 2008.

If Degenerate is a conservative at heart, then I am wrong (I doubt it). I am not wrong about Hillary.

Let's be clear here. You will see the left pull the biggest fake out in American history as they convince many gullible fools to buy into the charade that they are a horse of a different color now, all in order to win the White House in 2008.

I always thought she was hilarious! Her stand-up was over the top. This was a wonderful thing for her to do, and I don't believe she has any strings attached, just straight up generosity.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ellen, and God Bless.

Never heard of her, and BTW, this didn't cost her a penny.

It's easy to look real generous on someone else's dime.

Good Job Ellen!

Despite the ones here hung up on others sexual lives, I have always thought she is a talented comediene.

She can take her cruises and shove them up her arse.

"Hollywood turned out in force to support Michael Moore at a special screening of his controversial new documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 on Tuesday. Actors Martin Sheen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, David Duchovny, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Jodie Foster, Drew Barrymore, Chris Rock, Jack Black, Matthew Perry, Diane Lane, Marisa Tomei and Viggo Mortensen all attended the showing at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences Theater in Los Angeles. Moore's film criticizes American president George W Bush's behavior following the September 11th terror attacks in Washington D.C. and New York and exposes links between Bush's family and Al-qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden's relatives. ".

Good for her, she sure made sure everyone in the world knew of her arranging the generosity, so she got everything already she deserved in recognition.

Oprah wannabe? Remember the free cars she gave away?

None the less, nice gesture.

She knows which way the wind is blowing. i.e. crushing defeat in November w/ state initiatives for gay marriage.
