I always thought she was funny. Don't give a damn whether about her personal life. She just did a FINE thing. What does her sexual proclivities have to do with it??
Whether or not you agree with her lifestyle, it still was a nice gesture.
Well said, bonfire.
Agreed. Good for Ellen.
Agree, up to a point-It bothered me that once she came out, it seemed that was the theme of every show thereafter, and I drifted away.
I don't care what someone does with someone else, as long as I do not have to listen to them brag about it everytime I see them. *I* do not bore Gays with bedroom Olympics stories and expect the same reasonable courtesy.
Agree. I think she's funny and I like her style of humor. Even though I don't watch much of her, she hasn't seemed overly political from what I've seen since the whole controversy over her coming out on her sitcom (although I did see her wearing a "Vote or Die" shirt shortly before the election while I was flipping channels, I'm not sure if she made any overt statement), and so she's remained watchable unlike many of her Hollywood comrades.
I did catch a bit of her show today with Tom Hanks doing tributes for the troops. Good for her.
"I always thought she was funny."
Yes me too, I like her. That whole lesbian thing got out of control, but her daily show is ok, maybe one of the best things on, but I don't watch hardly any daytime TV.
This was a good thing to do, and it's good she did it. Maybe Ellen is smart enough to know the Islamofacists don't look too kindly on lesbians, or other Americans, unlike so many in Hollywood.
IF you can recall 'The Ellen De Generes Show,' it was Ellen DeGeneres herself who DEMANDED her show feature her GAY storyline, thus shoving the entire issue down everyone's throats...
Then there was her high-profile flouting her lesbian on various red carpet Hollywood affairs, then the public grew finally to resent her, and her career went down in flames...
And NOW we're to believe she's a philanthropist??
Sorry -- I ain't buying it.
IMO, this is a business stunt.
You're 100% right, bonfire. That was a GREAT gesture.
(And she's very funny, too.)
agree Bonfire. I liked her show before it got to be all gay, all the time - it was plain funny before that, and then she was sort of just stupid with Anne Heche, but I've been watching her show lately, and I like her humor. I don't care if people are gay or not as long as I dont have to hear about it day and night.
