And you thought Ellen only cared about pussy

Ellen DeGeneres’ puppy breakdown on today’s show (I’m not synopsizing it or bothering to embed the video, God knows you’ve seen it) initially struck me as being bizarrely out of character.

Then I remembered late-’90s Ellen, the emotional one who did America the great disservice of Shoving Homosexuality Down Its Throat. That Ellen could easily have been choked up by a stray, abused animal. In fact, she did, if you count Anne Heche.

Part of me thinks that this uncharacteristic vulnerability of Ellen 2.0 is just our gal giving The View a run for its crazy. But Big E runs the risk of re-alienating her hausfrau viewers - you know, the ones who don’t like their celebrities having opinions about things. Even cute dogs.

So in the end, I guess the most surprising part of the experience was her claim that she sees her hair stylist every day. I honestly wouldn’t have guessed.

3zjj387.jpgOn the cover of this month’s W Magazine, Ellen DeGeneres proves why the term “glam” is rarely used to describe her. She also expresses mild envy that GF Portia di Rossi is considered the fashion plate of the two.

And for a woman whose reputation for buttery-warm niceness is unparalleled (why do we insist that famous lesbians be pigeonholed as “nice?” Are we afraid they’re going to beat us with their field hockey sticks?), she has some harsh words for Kathy Griffin. She calls Kathy “very mean,” and refutes Griffin’s claims that she’s been banned from Ellen’s talk show: “…first you have to be on the show to be banned.”

That’s hilarious. We love Outspoken Ellen - you know, the one who let T.R. Knight get in the last word on Isaiahgate on her show. We just really never want to see her cleavage again.
