Ellen DeGeneres Is Using Rosie’s Old ‘Ogle The Straight Guy’ Gimmicks
Rosie O’Donnell owed a decent portion of her six-year television talk show career to ogling over straight guys in her pre-openly gay days. Hello, Tom Cruise? If Cruise wasn’t in her set’s chair, then she was talking to other guests about how much she loved him. It’s no coincidence that Ellen DeGeneres is employing the same tricks. But she, of course, is a big lez and everyone knows it! And while Rosie’s man crushes (which included JFK Jr.) only seemed more school girl than adult lust, Ellen’s are, obviously, exactly that.
In the above clip with James Marsden and his shirtless modeling photos, we get a chance to see this relationship play out expertly. Except whereas watching Rosie stare into the eyes of her handsome guests we see genuine adoration. But you’re never going to see Ellen smack lips with Tom Cruise. Or Bon Jovi. Or Taylor Lautner. Seeing Ellen grinning at James’ chiseled torso is a carefully choreographed stunt, and she performs it, expertly, not for her benefit. But for that of her audience.
Which, of course, is fine by me.
She’s doing it because she’s paid to entertain hets, so it’s fun for her and her audience to pretend she’s attracted to men. Makes all the hets comfortable and secure with the idea that deep down, she may just like boys and be one of them after all.

Jeremy and TheRealAdam, I don’t think I’ve heard two more ignorant people outside of FOX News. Is there something wrong with a woman finding a guy sexy even though she isn’t attracted to him?
I find PLENTY of women sexy as fuck but I would NEVER have sex with them. I’m simply not sexually attracted to them. It’s not that I’m a closet breeder or anything, it’s that they’re undeniably sexy.
I’m sure she feels the same way. She can recognize someone else being attractive, but that in no way means she’s secretly hetero or that she’s doing it to pander to her audience.
Please, stop assuming that if a lesbian likes the way a man looks, it means she wants to look like that or is playing the straight game. It’s demeaning to the rest of us, and it’s the EXACT same thing as someone telling you that you want to be a woman because you think one is beautiful.

The headline on this article is misleading. The majority of Ellen’s fans are straight women. They all know she is a lesbian. Ellen wasn’t “ogling” James Marsden the least bit. She put up his photos for the benefit of her female (& I suspect gay male) audience.
Rosie, OTOH, tried to project an idea that she was a bona fide straight woman. She lied. It’s one thing to “not talk about your private life.” It’s totally something else to lie.
