Ellen Likes Pet Food!

Ellen is teaming up with pet food company, Halo. In a interview with Parade.com Ellen talkes about the deal.

I'm told, on good authority, that even humans can eat Halo.
"Ours is all human grade. It's all natural. And yes, you can eat it," says DeGeneres. "People love their animals so much so that they put little clothes on them and necklaces and booties and things like that. And if you love your animal, then you should feed them something that's not dangerous for them. There's a lot of poisonous stuff that they’re putting in a lot of that food, those by-products."

If you were a politician, what would your pet policy be?
When asked if Ellen were to be a politician, what would be her pet policy, she responded, "My pet policy would be to love them and give them as much respect as you would give any living thing and treat them kindly. They’re innocent little souls that are filled with unconditional love. And we should give them the same."

Margaret Cho Won't Cross Picket Line For Ellen

Margaret Cho posted on her blog a kind and honest statement on why she will not be appearing with her friend Ellen during the writers strike.

"The power of visibility can never be underestimated. For this, [Ellen] will always be my hero. She gave us the ultimate gift, herself, her true self, and with that gift, she made us all proud to be who we are. That is why when she asked me to do her show I was absolutely thrilled. I love her show! Especially the dancing!!! But with the writers on strike, I am unable to do it.

This was a very difficult decision to make. I absolutely love Ellen, for a million reasons and for a very long time, but because of the way that I was raised, because my political views are they way they are, because I believe that workers should have the power and the ability to make their lives better, because many of my close friends are the ones picketing, I cannot cross the picket line.

This was hard for me because I had to question what was more important to me -- my queer allegiance to Ellen, or my dedication to the writers and their families and all the people who have been sacrificing so much to the strike. The reason Ellen hasn't stopped production is because she refuses to put the 135 people who are employed on her show out of work, which is completely admirable and frankly heroic, considering all the flak she has gotten from the media. I apologize to Ellen and I hope that she understands my decision, and that when the strike is over, I will be able to do the show again. It has been a dream of mine for quite a while now, and I hope someday it will come true."

Ellen's Really Big Show Snack Requirements

Ellen talked to Entertainment Weekly about how to prepare for watching her really big variety show tonight at 9 on TBS.

What about snacks?
I would steer clear of food. There's a possibility of choking, because of all the laughing you'll be doing. If anything, a pudding -- some time of bread pudding, or a rice pudding.

What are some things viewers at home can do to prepare for a show of such Massive Proportions?
Well, you want to wear loose-fitting clothing. Like a sweat type of pant, or pajamas. I would not wear anything tight, and I would try to stretch out. If you have a lounge chair, some kind of a chaise lounge, or some pillows -- ooh, or maybe a bean bag chair would really be the best thing to handle all the laughing. You'll be able to lean forward for a belly laugh, then stretch backwards with the ''Ohhhhh!" –- you know what I mean?

Ellen Explains

The Writer’s Guild of America released a statement on Friday, criticizing the talk show queen for crossing the picket line.

In response to the WGA, DeGeneres’ publicist released the following statement to PerezHilton.com:
“Ellen has not done anything in violation of the Writer’s Guild of America agreement, or the WGA’s internal ‘Strike Rules.’

Her shows production company made another statement.

"We have asked Ellen to come back to work to fulfill her contractual Obligation, as host of the show, because without original programs the stations can move the show out of its time periods or ultimately hold the company in breach of contract. The company, in turn, expects Ellen not to breach her contract to host the show. We also wish to preserve the 135 jobs of the staff and the crew whose livelihoods depend on the show continuing. We regret the Writer’s Guild has chosen to strike and we wish for a quick resolution."

Ellen Crosses The Picket Line!

Perez Hilton is reporting Ellen DeGeneres crossed the striking writers picket line.

“I’ve got to say this is a strange show for me to do. This is weird. Weird. It’s a weird show. Channeling Johnny Carson all of a sudden. [Imitates Carson] “Very Weird. Weird. Weird.” Here’s what the deal is. It’s ’sweeps’, which is a very important time in television. That’s when you do your best shows, your funniest material, you pull out all the stops and you’re doing everything you can because you want everybody watching. Now at this moment, we’re in the middle of this strike. There’s a writer’s strike going on, and here in Los Angeles it’s a huge story. I don’t know where you live, but it’s a huge story in Los Angeles. I want to say I love my writers. I love them. In honor of them today, I’m not going to do a monologue. I support them and hope that they get everything they’re asking for. And I hope it works out soon. In the meantime, people have traveled across the country. They’ve made plans. They’re here. I want to do everything I can to make your trip enjoyable and give you a show. Otherwise you’d just be wandering around and circling Bob Hope Drive.”

Letterman, Leno and all the other talk shows remain dark.
I'm not for or against the writers strike since they still make a lot more money than me. But I do know how valuable writers are. Without writers you get movies like Star Wars Episode 1 and 2 and of course 3 and they just sucked! Damn you Lucas you ruined Star Wars. History will not forgive you...PUNK!
