Ellen Degeneres Covers Ladies Home Journal

Posted by taylor blue on February 9, 2009 | 4 Comments

Ellen Degeneres is the March 2009 cover girl for Ladies Home Journal.  I am so glad that she is on cover because we hardly ever see her doing anything like this. In the interview included she talks about being beautiful, her marriage to Portia DeRossi and the future. Here are the highlights:

When did she feel most beautiful? “The day I got married.” Ellen’s eyes got red and watery and she runs off. When she returns, she says: “You’re worse than Barbara Walters!…It’s just very emotional. You find the person you love, you think you’ve come this far…and anyway, I never thought I’d have a wedding, and I did, and it meant more than I imagined.”

About their biggest domestic squabble: Says de Rossi, “I do leave half-finished beverages everywhere. I usually have three cups of tea going at once. I’m Australian. That’s just what we do. And anyway, I was going to thank her in our vows, for picking up all the glasses – and say that she’d have to do that for the rest of her life. She took that on. But she’s very good about it.”

About her off-camera future: “I don’t need to be on camera. I’m not a workaholic. I love to spend time with my wife, my family, my animals…We’re looking for the right place to have a farm. Someplace like Massachusetts or Nantucket, with seasons. We could get an 1800s farmhouse with land and rescue animals. Then I’m done.”

Her thoughts on beauty: “To me it’s sad to be defined by beauty, because it’s something that goes away and changes. If you’re trying to chase that forever, you’re in trouble.” At the same time, DeGeneres adds, “as I’ve aged and matured, I just feel better about myself, more confident and more comfortable in my own skin. As that’s happened, I think I look better than I’ve ever looked, because that’s just what happens when you feel better about yourself.”

Ellen Degeneres Takes Home A People’s Choice Award

Posted by taylor blue on January 8, 2009 | 2 Comments

Ellen Degeneres won the award for Favorite Talk Show Host last night (Wednesday) at the People’s Choice Awards. I swear that all of the people I picked won (except for Supernatural!).  And Ellen being Ellen had to make a funny acceptance speech…

“I wish I could share this with you,” DeGeneres told the audience while clutching her trophy on stage. “I could throw it on the ground and smash it into a million pieces, and give each one of you a little piece of it, but that’s violent, and that’s probably why you voted for me, because I’m not violent.”

Maybe we voted for you because we knew you would share? I want a piece of it…And Ellen also added to her speech…

“… and to my roommate, Portia [De Rossi], thank you very much, as well.”

That’s it remind them that you can’t be married anymore. That horrible government!

Posted by taylor blue on December 23, 2008 | No Comments

I love Ellen Degeneres and Portia DeRossi together. It’s great to see Ellen so happy finally. I’m glad that she’s able to talk about Portia on the show now too. Because I hated it when she felt like she couldn’t talk about it.

For that…they are my Favorite Couple of 2008.

Ellen Degeneres and her fiancee, Portia de Rossi, spent July 4th in Italy where they have been having some heavy duty vacationing time. Which I totally understand since she works so hard on her show during the year! They even sealed it with a kiss afterwards.

See their wedding details here.
