Ellen Cancels Trip To New York

Still stung by the controversy regarding her decision to cross the writers strike picket line, Ellen DeGeneres, has scraped plans to film from Manhattan.

The talk show host was set to shoot in New York City next week, but following this stinging public letter from the Writers Guild East, DeGeneres has cancelled her plans.

The Writers Guild letter warned, “We certainly intend to let Ellen know our dissatisfaction in person if she decides to proceed with the shows she has scheduled in New York on November 19th and 20th. We will also make our voices heard the preceding week if she tries to pre-tape comedy segments on location.”

A very touchy situation all-around.

Hopefully this strike won’t drag on too much longer.
