Two More Ellen Degeneres & Oprah Magazine Covers

Posted by taylor blue on November 11, 2009 | No Comments

Two more covers have been released for the December 2009 issue of O magazine. I think that I would be very happy if it was Ellen Degeneres and Oprah every month. (Here are the other two that were previously released.)

Oprah on the choice of Ellen for the cover: “Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen. When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops. It worked—for only the second time in O history, I’m sharing the cover with a woman I adore.”

On why she came out: “Just to say the words was so huge for me. You know, people say, ‘Why do you have to tell everybody, who cares, and why do you have to announce it?’ It’s because it’s your truth and the truth shall set you free.”

On wife Portia DeRossi: “Well, we’re perfect for each other. She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny, and with her, I have that sense of ‘I’m done now.’ I’m settled. I know that part of my life is taken care of. I’ve got love. I’ve got someone who will be with me till the day I die.”

On getting excited for American Idol: “They came to me, and it was a total surprise. I like to try new things because I get bored so easily. And I like the show, so I thought it was a great idea.”

This issue comes out tomorrow. Be sure to get it!

Ellen Degeneres & Oprah Cover O Magazine

Posted by taylor blue on November 7, 2009 | No Comments

I can’t believe that the issue that Ellen Degeneres has been talking about all year is finally out. Ellen is covering the December 2009 issue of O with Oprah . I think the covers turned out amazing! This is only the second time in the magazine’s history that Oprah has shared the cover with someone else.

What did Oprah say about Ellen while they were doing the photo shoot?

“When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn’t have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face,” says Oprah. “She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you’re living at your highest potential.”

I think Ellen is a great role-model.
