Elton John’s Oscar bash was the place to be seen last night. Sean Penn and Patricia Clarkson were glowing, while Chace Crawford and JC Chasez got tongues wagging by sticking together during the event.

While those folk are all well and good, we’re completely fascinated by this picture of Sean “Whosafuck” Combs with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Is this not the perfect trio? We’ve heard all sorts of rumors about Combs’ sexuality, but - for some reason - it’s this picture that makes us believe…

Ellen and her closet have come a long way

Margaret Cho and Ellen DeGeneres have been besties for years. The great writer’s strike of 2007/2008, however, has put a strain on their working relationship. The power of visibility can never be underestimated. For this, [Ellen] will always be my hero. She gave us the ultimate gift, herself, her true self, and with that gift, she made us all proud to be who we are. That is why when she asked me to do her show I was absolutely thrilled. I love her show! Especially the dancing!!! But with the writers on strike, I am unable to do it.

This was a very difficult decision to make. I absolutely love Ellen, for … Continued…

A new Harris Interactive poll ranks Ellen DeGeneres as television’s most popular star: Ellen DeGeneres has vaulted to the top spot in The Harris Poll’s annual favorite television star list after five years in the bottom five, including last year‘s tie for the number eight position. And, after five years as number one, Oprah Winfrey drops to second place this year. Ellen better watch her lady loving back, because Oprah’s going to be coming for it.

Here’s the PDF of the full press release.

Ellen DeGeneres recently hosted future “child star” Anthony Gargiulia recently. The 8-year old made his singing career debut last month on The Today Show, at which time NBC’s Ann Curry introduced him as “Anthony G.” We’ll let you fill in that punchline…

Super stylish Tim Gunn hopped over to Ellen DeGeneres‘ gab fest yesterday. Check out the homo duo chatting about the red carpet, Gunn’s Project Runway and Jack Mackenroth’s sad exit from the show.

Also, Gunn’s single and not looking: “I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”

Jenna Bush popped into Ellen DeGeneres talk show today. And, like a good patriot, DeGeneres forced the first daughter to ring up her daddy, President Bush.

Young Jenna seemed excited at first, but the dread soon sets in: “I’m going to get into trouble… I’m not going to get any Christmas presents”. All for calling her father on national television? Sheesh, the Bush’s must run their house like Guantanamo.

No, but seriously, Bush eventually gets on the line and sounds, well, kind of sweet. We were almost endeared, but then remember all his past sins and our Awwwww” turned in “Ahhhhhh!”

Straight-laced newsman Anderson Cooper gabbed with lesbian entertainer Ellen DeGeneres this morning. We never would have guessed, but CNN’s super star can talk trash with the best of ‘em. While discussing his reality show addiction, Cooper offered his two cents on MTV’s Tiara Girls: “It’s like, low-rent beauty pageants. It’s like, the Miss Filet of Steak Pageant from Philadelphia.” Like, Grrrrl!

The Coop also tells DeGeneres that he’s addicted to Paula Abdul’s train wreck, Hey, Paula!. He’ll be straight-up heartbroken to hear the show got the ax.

Ellen DeGeneres won’t be coming to New York anytime soon.

Ellen Degeneres had only good things to say about her striking writers the other day, but her writers don’t have anything nice to say about her. Page Six reports that Ms. D has a reputation for being an abusive tyrant: On SurgicalStrikes.com, one former, unidentified, writer for her 2001-02 sitcom, The Ellen Show, reports she treated her writers “like [bleep].”

“We’d watch her in rehearsals, smiling and winning us over with her charm and comic timing. Then the director would yell cut, her face would fall, and she’d level a glare at the writers. ‘Why do you keep writing these unfunny jokes?’ she’d hiss.

“Ellen frequently eviscerated the head writer and . . . boasted of the … Continued…
