  People should leave Ellen alone, she's one of the nicest and down-to-earth celebrities out there. First it was because of her being gay now this, those fools need to shut that dirty hole in their face.

  Sometimes you just have to stop and remember where you came from.

  it's a matter of personal preference just as apparently her sexuality is. everyone's got a right to do what they think is the right thing to do, this is America afterall. maybe more celebrities should do this. they can always find someone to write their crap for them, it can't be much worse than the regular writer's garbage.

  Shame. Shame on you, Ellen. If you're going to write your own monologues, then you are a scab, performing struck work. Shame. You cry for a week about giving away a dog, yet you can't support the men and women who provide you with a LIVING for more than one lousy day? Shame. Shame on you, Ellen. I hope your writers find a better, more loyal employer when this is over. Shame.

  Ellen depends on her writers for her jokes and her comedy. No, she doesn't do it all herself. Now, she shuns her writers who are legally striking for better conditions. She should respect the writers and NOT cross the picket line. Saying that she feels bad about her fans who came ... is just a fake way of condoning her decision to cross the picket line. I hope her writers find better jobs.

  I think it is great that Ellen is continuing her show. She isn't doing it to spite the writers, I don't see why she has writers she is funny enough on her own. People would come to see Ellen if all she did was sit in a chair and talk to them and dance and have fun with them. That is the Ellen we all love, she really doesn't have to do anything but be herself.

  i understand that the writers want reconition for their work but i also understand why ellen had to take a stand and give people what they want.. if i flew out to CA then i could'nt see the show due to the strike i would be very upset and disapointed.

  Personally I think that the strike is stupid. The writers are just money hungry. People are already losing their jobs in enter. related jobs. Are the writers going to pay those that have lost their jobs b/c the writers wanted more money? Don't think that they will. The writers should be happy that they have jobs, there are a lot of people out there without them.

  If they aren't giving you what you want (which is already a lot) find a new job! More more more, that what America seem to be about.
