Ellen Loves All Shapes And Sizes!
Ellen DeGeneres is all about the curves!!
The newest American Idol judge took a break from hating Simon Cowell with all of her heart wants women to stop thinking they have to be skinny to be beautiful, and spoke out to promote a healthy lifestyle:
"It's a double standard because there are men with really beautiful women that don't have great bodies, and yet nobody's saying anything about that. Women [think they] need to keep themselves up to look good for a man or for society. It's not fair. Women are looking at bodies like that and going, 'My stomach doesn't look like that. I'm supposed to look like that?!' So they starve themselves and they work out like crazy. It's not important. We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy. If you're healthy, it's got nothing to do with how much you weigh."
Ellen's wife, Portia de Rossi, suffered from a severe eating disorder while she was on the TV series Ally McBeal, so we can understand why the comedienne would feel passionately about the issue!
Regardless, well spoken, Ellen! You're one of the only celebs who can speak out about serious issues without coming off like a self-important twit!

Bless Her Heart!
You MUST Watch This Video! Lindsanity LOLs and Amazingness!!!
"You're one of the only celebs who can speak out about serious issues without coming off like a self-important twit!" —-why is that mario? because she's gay??
ellen is right. perhaps you should take her words into account when you are writing hateful, ugly things about women on your blog, perez. you are one of the worst perpetuators of this stuff. you hate the elderly, the wrinkled, and anybody who is bigger than a size 2. YOU are responsible for what ellen is talking about, you hypocrite.
Love Ellen!
Re: tigrrrlilly – Well said.
Ellen Rocks My Socks!
If you have seen the show "Better off Ted" it is obvious that Ellen's wife still has an eating disorder.
I love ellen SO MUCH. She is a very sweet woman AND the funniest stand up ever. She makes me LOL till I CRY. but its not fair. I was born little and now skinny ppl who are naturally skinny feel left out.
Re: tigrrrlilly – You're right!
Love Ellen!
I appreciate Ellen speaking up about the issue, but haven't all of the women she's been with (who we know about…) been pretty damn thin?
women do have to be skinny to be beautiful.And they have to be a lesbian and have short dyke like hair and wear suits.Hey I just discribed ellen.
Ellen's message really speaks a lot to me (: I'm glad there are some celebrities out there with a head on their shoulders
Ellen should go join the Military, become a man and never come back!
Ellen has class, you are the main cause of pointing all the fat on people. Your the worst kind of human. You hate anyone thats not perfect. Look at yourself, I'm sure you don't like what you see.
She is 100% right
Maybe you should take a clue from her, Douchebag? You're disgusting, MARIO. There is not need to take things to the level you do, it's repulsive!
BTW, Ellen (not that you would be caught here reading this morons drivel) you're amazing. Thank you for being so kind.
Oh, I thought you were talking about va-jay-jay?
tigrrrlilly - exactly right!
perez you perpetuate that ideal ALL the time by making snide remarks when women have gained some weight or aren't looking perfect. I don't understand how you could praise what Ellen said and yet do to women exactly what Ellen is advocating against.
you're truly a hypocrite. I appreciate honesty but you need to work a little harder to be a better person. You can obviously identify when things are good or worthy of praise, so why don't you try and emulate that yourself?
btw, I love ellen and always will. she is truly a role model especially in an industry so lacking in them. Thanks ellen!
Re: tigrrrlilly – you are absolutely correct!
love you, Ellen! now, please stop hawking Olay products-they test on animals.
who wouldn't feel huge standing next to ally mcbeal? didn't she weigh like 75 lbs?
God, I love Ellen. Greatest person in Hollywood that's for sure.
Ellen is awesome! I think she's someone who really cares about people.
I love her stand-up and I watch her show. Go,Ellen!
Well considering you don't support all shapes and sizes, Perez. Then I guess that makes you a dick or twat. Whichever one you prefer!
Marry Rosie, then I will believe you.
Re: tigrrrlilly – you took the words right out my mouth
well said!
Re: tigrrrlilly – TRUE!
well said ellen!
I love Ellen but Portia could use a couple more pounds.Eat a sandwich Portia
Is that why she went on the vegan diet? Oh, wait I can't look too fat or over weight or they'll cancel my show!!!!! Give me a break!

Re: tigrrrlilly – Yeahhh, you go girl
