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 changes she'd make in season two, starting with his firing." But, the blogger continues facetiously, the axed writer "was a hack anyway - all he did after leaving was create Arrested Development and win two Emmys for writing, another for Best Comedy."

The vengeful blogger also suggests that Degeneres continues churning out her talk show because she's afraid a strike could end her career. That, of course, is bullshit. It's because she likes the attention. And money.

• Chris Crocker wants to be Britney Spears: crotch flashing and all. Warning, this shit ain't cute. Nor is it safe for work.

• Cuban queers form rights group.

• This is fucked up! The Federal Emergency Management Agency (aka FEMA) held a fake press conference about the California fires. Again, fucked up.

Could it be?! Are Star staffers and their anonymous sources right when they allege Ellen's breakdown last week stemmed from domestic havoc? From the current issue, which hit stands today.

According to multiple sources, [Ellen's] really in pain because her three-year romance with actress Portia de Rossi is all but over.

"Ellen would never have broken down like that on TV if things were right in her home life," one source tells Star.

Portia has been telling Ellen she's very unhappy at home," says a second source…."When it comes down to it, she wants to be with someone younger ad hotter. She wants out, but Ellen has been begging her to stay. Portia is really everything in this world to her."

Our worlds are crumbling. Ellen and Portia are our favorite lesbian couple in lesbian couple history. Without them - well, we just don't know what we'll do.

Grey's Anatomy gay TR Knight took another trip to Ellen's set yesterday. Knight spent some time promoting his show and chatting about the Emmy and his dog (awww), but he also chatted about life since coming out. Of the nig gay event Knight says, "I feel I've learned so much this past year, so, I'm grateful for that, so yeah, that changes you."

Now that he's out, Ellen wonders, how does young Knight feel about other closeted queers?

Everyone has their own path. You just have to respect that. I don't know what it's like to be in their shoes. I know a lot of people who make statements, but you have to do it when it's right for you. It don't think it's right to force that. It's impossible to know … There's a lot of soul searching you have to do.

Yes - or, there's a lot of "waiting for anti-gay co-star to out me" to do.

The ever-handsome Neil Patrick Harris popped over to Ellen yesterday for a little pre-Emmy chat. Harris has been nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role on How I Met Your Mother.

The super gay duo got down on Harris' relationship, avoiding the press and whether or not the red carpet should be political.

Why is it that the short weeks feel so long? We don't know. We do know, however, that today's (blessedly) Friday. Do you know what that means? That's right - it's Queerty ReBUTTal time! Yay!

Earlier this week, lesbian talk show host Ellen Degeneres hosted presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. While it's incredible enough that we have an out lady lover hosting a popular television show, it's even more astonishing that a powerful politician such as Clinton would volunteer to appear. It wasn't too long ago that gay people were only depicted as sex-crazed maniacs or severely disturbed villains. How things have changed!

One of the major developments came in 1977, when Billy Crystal played Jody Campbell on Soap. In honor of all the strides we've made, we're dedicating this ReBUTTal to Soap. Check out some scenes, after the jump.

Hillary Clinton made her well-publicized appearance on Ellen Degeneres' show this morning. Ever the gracious guest, Clinton brought Ms. D a campaign survival kit. Ain't that sweet?

Speaking of sweet: watch Degeneres dig into Clinton for her gay marriage stance - or lack thereof. Clinton stands by her civil union platform. The Senator from New York also reiterates her distaste for her hubby's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". After the jump: Degeneres getting to the bottom Clinton's professional relationship with Barack Obama.

It's nice to see Ellen - whose coming out paved the way for countless queers - using her powerful, mainstream platform to explore gay issues. Girl's about to turn fifty and she's still pushing the envelope - and, hopefully, pushing America in the right direction.

Proving once again that she's the most popular lesbian in Hollywood, Ellen Degeneres agreed to organize a two-hour variety show for TBS.

"Ellen's Really Big Show" will feature performances by comedic and musical talents and be shot at TCF, organized by HBO and AEG Live, at Caesars Palace.

It premieres Sunday, Nov. 18, on TBS, a title sponsor for TCF.

"We are truly thrilled to be working with the enormously talented Ellen DeGeneres on her first TBS special," said Michael Wright, senior vp in charge of the Content Creation Group for TBS, TNT and TCM. "It's especially exciting to see her bring back the variety special format, which for decades provided television with some of its most memorable performances."

Said DeGeneres: "I'm very happy to be working with TBS. I usually put two TBS of sugar in my coffee every day, so this is a dream come true for me."

So, while girlfriend Portia de Rossi's dyking it up, Ellen will ham it up. These girls are well on their way to ruling the world and, quite possibly, the universe.
