Weekly Column


Ellen DeGeneres strode up to the stage as this year's Emmy host with the Herculean task of brightening the nation's somber mood following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.

"New Orleans is my hometown, and I have family in Mississippi," Ellen said, striking the right note at the awards ceremony. "It's times like this we really, really need laughter."

Ellen could just have easily been talking about her career, which was derailed by the storm of controversy that followed her very public coming out in 1997.

Interesting semi Ellen related side note.

Seems that Anne Heche is taking issue with Love Won Out pimping her mother out for the "ex-gay" cause.

FYI- a post purportedly from Anne Heche saying she disagrees with her mother's attempts to paint her as the new ex-gay poster child:

You know, that's interesting about how Degeneres said that in times of this we need laughter, when practically the same thing was said on Saturday Night Live following September 11th. And it's true.

I like Degeneres, and am hoping she will be just as socially active as Rosie O'Donnell was.
