All you kids who were out buying up posterboard and markers to make your "Ellen DeGENEROUS" signs so you could wave them at next week's Idol Gives Back special need to stop before you waste all that paper. Think green, people. Due to a scheduling conflict, Access Hollywood says Ellen DeGeneress dropped out of co-hosting the special. The special is set to tape this Sunday, and apparently that conflicts with production on her own show. I think we need to make a controversy out of this. I'm going to say she dropped because Danny Noriega was eliminated from the competition and she thinks it was a homophobic move by producers. Now, run with it! I'd help but I need to keep my schedule clear and wait for that phone call. I've always wanted to meet Ashley Tisdale -- er, I mean Robin Williams, and Bono and other big names like that. You know, like Annie Lennox, Miley--I mean, Heart! ... Dammit!

I agree that somethin's up! Backing out of something this big with that many celeb's this close to production? It's not like it was a dentist appointment.
Wonder what could be doing on?

What a load. Ellen is not going to whine about a show being homophobic. Simon is her friend. She has ex Idol videos on her website. Stop making something out of nothing. Ellen is a good person. What, now you have to try to FIND something? shame on you.

Shame on Ellen for backing out, maybe she screwed another family out of having a dog.

Yes the "controversy" was fake, but you see ... it's working already. It doesn't take much! *insert evil laughter here*
