Watch Ellen DeGeneres explain why Simon Cowell "wants me"

Tell Us What You Think
25This is why I love Ellen and why I think she is exactly like you. You guys are both the exact samer time of hilariousType your comment here
I agree that if US Mag cannot moderate the comments section they need a feature so that we can report abuse.
I know that you were molested and that is why you are gay because of that fear
Couldn't have said it better myself Lezley
I love Ellen! She is very funny! Love this!
Hard to believe in this day and age there are still people out there immature , ignorant and closed minded enough to STILL make slurs about someone elses sexual choice. My Gosh!! GROW UP ALREADY!!! "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven." ~Luke 6:37~
She is as non-musical as anybody in the world and obviously as dumb as a tree. Her inane comments are without meaning and provide absolutely no meaningful constructive criticism to their music.
US Mag., please monitor the comments section better. Most of the comments made are unacceptable. I don't understand where these people are comming from. Are their lives so miserable that they only experience joy when they write nasty, disgusting things in the comments section????? The people they feel free to comment on have rights too!!!!!!
#26 - I am tone deaf. #27 - I mimic the other Idol judges. #28 - I want to be liked by everybody. #29 - I wear my smile upside down. #30 - I don't have a clue.
How about 26: " I have never sucked a ....."
she is so nice. i am going to follow her on twitter :)
Ellen, I commend you greatly for point number 3. "I want to live without regrets". But just to remind you, don't forget to prepare for LIFE AFTER DEATH or ETERNITY (John 3:16). It would be great to see you in HEAVEN. Hell and Heaven are imminent! (Hebrews 9:27) No room for regrets then.
