Ellen DeGeneres is the most visible gay or lesbian public figure in America

More than anyone else, Ellen DeGeneres is the face of LGBT America. Still. That’s the verdict of two new Pew Research Center surveys, one of the general U.S. population and the other of LGBT Americans specifically. Not only was the comedian and television host by far the most frequently cited example of a gay or lesbian public figure in the general-population survey, she and President Obama were the leaders when LGBT Americans were asked to name a well-known figure who’s been important in advancing the rights of LGBT people. DeGeneres was already a well-known comedian and star of her eponymous sitcom when she came out publicly as a lesbian 16 years ago. Since then, she’s established herself as a highly successful...

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi adopt a ‘Kid’

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are the proud parents of a nine-week old pooch named Kid. DeGeneres, 57, made the announcement on Thursday’s show. “I have not talked about this yet, but we have a new puppy,” she said. “Portia and I got a puppy and his name is Kid so now we have a kid. Yep. I mean, he is absolutely adorable.” Although the couple is thrilled at the new addition, they’re not so pleased with the constant after-hours attention Kid needs. DeGeneres said it’s “not cute” to wake up at 11, and 1 and 3 and 5 for all his puppy needs. “It really makes me appreciate what it’s like to be a mother,” she added. “Because like I’m trying to hold a puppy while I’m trying to make coffee. And I can’t do anything. He doesn’t let me do anything.” There’s always been speculation as...

John Krasinski Explains Why Sitting At Leonardo DiCaprio's Table Was So Awkward

"[T]hat sounds really cool, except I didn't get a chance to meet him and I didn't want to be like, 'Hey man, I'm the guy that doesn't have anybody,'" he said. "And then they won everything, so I'm in the middle of hugs and people are like, 'This is the best year ever!' And I was like, 'Wasn't it?' And then everybody went up and gave their speech I felt really pretty stupid." Krasinski was a little bit confused about what to do amid the celebrations. "Speaking of ['The Revenant' director] Alejandro [G. Iñárritu], when he won he said hi to everyone and thank you—because they all worked on the movie—and then turned to me and there was that moment of like, 'Why are you here?' and I was like, 'Congratulations!'" Oh, John, you keep us young. This article was written by Cavan...

Ellen DeGeneres: The Oscars host who came out of the cold

In September, Ellen DeGeneres told the audience of her talkshow about the pros and cons of hosting the Academy Awards: "Pro: a lot of fancy designers will want to approach me and want me to wear a beautiful, expensive gown. Con: ain't no way in hell I'm wearing a gown." The audience erupted in cheers. Such vocal approval is an indication of how far both DeGeneres's fortunes and US public attitudes towards sexuality and gender have shifted. At the turn of the century, you could have been excused for thinking DeGeneres was down and out. After spending two decades establishing herself as one of the most popular comedians in the US, in 1997 she gambled everything on coming out as a lesbian, both in real life and in character on the hit sitcom that bore her name – and she seemed to lose.
