Not together, though, that would make for an interesting blog… and potential TV movie.

DeGeneres’ Doggy Drama Escalates

So much for that happy ending I predicted… Ellen DeGeneres cried her eyes out on her show yesterday as she recounted the events that led to her dog being taken from her hairstylist’s home. But, it appears the comedian’s tearful plea didn’t help soften the hearts of the owners of a dog agency that maintains DeGeneres violated an adoption contract. In fact, it looks as though the ugly situation is getting even uglier. According to news reports, as a result of the massive media exposure this doggy drama has created, the owners of Mutts and Moms (the agency DeGeneres got … Continue reading

DeGeneres’ Doggie Dilemma

If you don’t want to see Ellen DeGeneres in the midst of a massive emotional meltdown then you’ll want to steer clear of her talk show today.

John and Jen Split and Ellen and Portia Wed

Did anyone seriously think they’d last longer than six months? If you predicted that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston’s romance would fizzle out after four months then buy yourself a lottery ticket because you were exactly right. The high profile pair never officially confirmed they were dating, but pictures don’t lie. The couple was snapped cuddling, canoodling, and cavorting from Miami to Los Angeles (and just about everywhere in between as Aniston joined Mayer on his cross country concert tour). Personally, I am not the least bit surprised that Jen and John split. What does shock me is the fact … Continue reading

And according to DeGeneres, don’t look for her to pull an Oprah and take herself of contention for future statuettes. “I’m not going to take my name out,” DeGeneres deadpanned with reporters backstage. “Oprah has made so many bad choices. Look at her career.” While … Continue reading
