Ellen DeGeneres Governor Politics

ELLEN DEGENERES FOR GOVERNOR? IT COULD HAPPEN!

Ellen DeGeneres is thinking about following in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s footsteps – straight into the Governor’s mansion. Openly gay Ellen has been examining her life and successful career and wants to enter politics in the future. She’s in her fifties now and wants to make an impact on the world beyond her talk show. She’s one of the most successful talk show hosts of all time and has a huge following, which can’t hurt when she runs for office. But it won’t happen too soon – she probably won’t throw her hat into the ring until 2018.

American Citizen Ellen DeGeneres Portia de Rossi

ELLEN’S WIFE PORTIA DE ROSSI IS THRILLED TO BE AN AMERICAN

Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi, 38, is now an American citizen. Portia, who was born Amanda Lee Rogers in Australia, has been acting in this country for 16 years. A spy reported to us that Portia was at a swearing in ceremony this week at the courthouse on Spring Street in front of a judge. Naturally she stood out in the crowd – “She looked beautiful in a black dress and pumps and a huge ring.” She was friendly and posed for photos with other new citizens. When someone congratulated her on her naturalization, she quipped “Thank you – but it didn’t happen because of my marriage!” (And it probably SHOULD have!)

Ellen DeGeneres Money Portia de Rossi Real Estate

ELLEN DEGENERES LIVES BETTER THAN KINGS AND PRESIDENTS

It’s hard to imagine, but Ellen DeGeneres lives in almost unbelievable luxury. But she’s fickle – after only four years of perfecting her surroundings, she has put her Beverly Hills house on the market for 60 million dollars. Ellen bought the 12,000 square foot main house in 2007 for 29 million dollars, and it seems to have EVERY luxury imaginable. In 2008 she paid 8.5 million for the house that shared her driveway and promptly bulldozed it to expand her views. That same year she bought another neighboring house for 5 million, and a month later she bought a fourth house for 5.5 million that overlooked her pool area “for privacy” so Portia can sunbathe topless. Did Ellen FINALLY have her “dream house?” Apparently not. She put the main house up for sale for 49 million and the whole compound for 60 million. A bargain.

Ellen DeGeneres Modern Family Sofia Vergara Talk Show Univision

SEXY MODERN FAMILY STAR SOFIA VERGARA WILL SOON HAVE HER OWN TALK SHOW

Little does Ellen Degeneres know that her guest “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara will soon be a competitor, of sorts. Colombian born Sofia joked to Ellen that sometimes her accent is so thick that SHE can’t understand what she’s saying, but that won’t stop her from getting her own talk show. The Spanish mega-network Univision has offered Sofia a tempting deal and they’re developing a talk show for her – we’re guessing it will be in Spanish, but anything can happen. Naturally Sofia is thrilled. No wonder she’s shopping for a big house.

AMERICAN IDOL’S BACK-UP PLAN: JENNIFER LOPEZ

What do YOU think about Jennifer Lopez replacing Ellen Degeneres on American Idol? According to Nikki Finke, it’s a done deal whether you like it or not, and both parties seem quite happy. Ellen wanted OUT of her contract a year before it was up- she said doing the show was no fun. Jennifer’s career can use a boost, PLUS she knows a bit more about singing that Ellen does. Jennifer’s diva-ish glamour will also add a visual element to the judges panel. As for replacing Simon Cowell – everyone hoped for Elton John, but he’s too expensive and too busy. Steven Tyler is currently in talks for that slot.

American Idol Ellen DeGeneres Paula Abdul

REVEALED: FOX MADE ELLEN DEGENERES AN OFFER SHE COULDN’T REFUSE

elle902_ellencarcrash#ellen

We have solved the mystery around Ellen DeGeneres’s unexpected new job as a judge on American Idol! The announcement that Ellen was replacing Paula Abdul came completely out of the blue – she had never been previously mentioned. And here’s why: Fox has had their eye on Ellen for awhile because they want her to host a late-night talk show. Fox executives lured Ellen with a lucrative package – she’ll appear on American Idol now and in five years she will debut her night time talk show on Fox. She couldn’t resist THAT combo
