Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi to Wed. Will Audience Divorce?
Wed to the Ellen Show. Audience Divorce Possible?
Since the California Supreme Court lifted the ban on gay marriages, Ellen DeGeneres has announced her plans to wed Portia de Rossi soon. The two have been going together since December of 2004. Is the viewing audience of Ellen ready for that? Or will they beI like Ellen DeGeneres. Nothing puts the perk back in my coffee like Ellen dancing down the aisles every afternoon. I enjoy her guests and I think she is a great human being. And according to her ratings, I am not the only one.
But like everyone else, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have jobs. A comedian/talk host and an actress. That's what tunes me in to see them. Not the fact that in their personal life they are gay. Do I need to know their personal preferences to enjoy their work? No. It's the same with politics and celebs. Let me enjoy your work. Don't tell me about your faith, your dislikes of this country, your hate for certain segments of people. Just do your job.
Rosie O'Donnell was doing just great with her show. She was funny and she had an uncanny knowledge of songs. But then she had to get serious about politics and about being gay. Why throw that into a show that seemingly started out so light-hearted? It brought the wrath of viewers down on her head. She hasn't recovered yet.
Is it fair that we should be wondering if Ellen DeGeneres wedding Portia de Rossi will hurt Ellen's show? Yes, I think it is. The show has a lot to offer the viewing audience. But if she goes on a gay rights script every day, I think she will see waning numbers. There are a lot of people that like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi doing their jobs. But a lot of those same people do not approve of gay marriages. And they do not want to endure a day after day reminder of one woman being wed to another..
I'm not good with change. I like what I like. I like Ellen de Generes. If she is going to wed Portia de Rossi, great. Have a happy and healthy life together. I just want the Ellen show to stay the same. No shoving of politics or gay rights down the throats of her audience. I would hate to see Ellen get married on the one hand and divorced on the other.
