Ellen Lee DeGeneres ( ; born January 26, 1958) is an American stand-up comedienne, television host and actress. She hosts the syndicated talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and was also a judge on American Idol for one year, having joined the show in its ninth season.

DeGeneres has hosted both the Academy Awards and the Primetime Emmys. As a film actress, she starred in Mr. Wrong, appeared in EDtv and The Love Letter, and provided the voice of Dory in the Disney-Pixar animated film Finding Nemo, for which she was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, the first and only time a voice performance won a Saturn Award.

She also starred in two television sitcoms, Ellen from 1994 to 1998 and The Ellen Show from 2001 to 2002. During the fourth season of Ellen in 1997, DeGeneres came out publicly as a lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Shortly afterwards, her character Ellen Morgan also came out to a therapist played by Winfrey, and the series went on to explore various LGBT issues including the coming out process.

She has won thirteen Emmys and numerous other awards for her work and charitable efforts.

She is married to Portia de Rossi.

0.48 min. | 3.93 user rating		 IMPORTANT NOTE: Now that Ellen Degeneres has tweeted the link to my video upload, comments are moderated and will not appear until approved because this is by far getting out of hand. Even if you disagree with Jennifer Livingston, no one, I repeat NO ONE is entitled to call her any disgusting names regarding her looking! It's really a shame that something that started as a decent discussion turned into a mud fight. However it's great that my video upload made at least some of you reflect the still underrated issue of Bullying in the world and even though I'm located in Germany, I'd be thrilled if Ellen would invite Jennifer Livingston to her show (which I love by the way, both, Ellen and her awesome show!). Thank you! ⥠-------- WKBT anchor Jennifer Livingston took a moment during Tuesday's morning newscast (Oct. 2, 2012) to directly address a recent email she received from a viewer complaining about her weight. "To the person who wrote me that letter â do you think I don't know that? That your cruel words are pointing out something that I don't see?" Livingston asked in response. "You don't know me. You are not a friend of mine. You are not a part of my family. And you have admitted that you don't watch this show. So you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside. And I am much more than a number on the scale." Livingston went on to say that October is National Anti Bullying Month, and that she hopes her response to the email will serve to raise awareness of <b>...</b>

I heard about how Ellen likes to find new talent on YouTube so I decided to dedicate this video to her... maybe she'll see it and like it! I had a BLAST making this video because I got to show you guys some of my new dance moves that I've been working on... PLUS we went to the Mall of Georgia which is was fun too. I ate some sour candy in the car before I shot this so I was REALLY hyper but I guess it all paid off because this was a really fast song to rap! What do YOU think about it? Special thanks to my friends "The Monsters | The Strangerz" who created that original beat I rapped over. I thought the beat was TIGHT! Don't forget to "like" and "favorite" this video! That really helps a lot! :) Keep following your dreams!

2.97 min. | 4.65 user rating		 OUR DOG BUDDY WRESTLES AND PLAYS BALL WITH OUR BABY WHITE TAIL DEER My brother found this deer alone and malnourished when it was a tiny baby. My family bottle fed the baby, named Theen until he was eating grass. Several months later he's very socialized with people, our black lab, and our cats. He is free to wander if he likes and we've seen him with several herds of whitetail and axis deer. Apparently he fits in just fine with them. He frequently comes back to the house to eat some catfood and play with our dog, Buddy. He doesn't care much for deer corn. Ellen Degeneres showed this video on her show and website on January 22, 2010! Anderson Cooper 360 showed the video on March 30, 2010! This was on the Bonnie Hunt show on March 31, 2010!
