LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Following in the footsteps of Queen Latifah, Rihanna and Drew Barrymore, daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will be the next "easy, breezy, beautiful" celebrity to front a CoverGirl campaign.

"I am the new face of CoverGirl," Ellen said while striking a model-esque pose during a taping of her talk show, airing Tuesday.

"That's the first thing they teach you when you're a CoverGirl, Ellen continued, striking another pose.

And Ellen wasn't the only one enthusiastic about the new deal. Esi Eggleston Bracey, vice president and general manager of Global Cosmetics for Proctor and Gamble (P&G) Beauty, who count CoverGirl as one of their brands, expressed her excitement over the pairing.

"Ellen is the quintessential CoverGirl. She is smart, confident, natural, and beautiful from the inside out," she said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "Her beauty and down-to-earth personality fit perfectly with what CoverGirl represents. We look forward to our partnership -- stay tuned for more news."

And Ellen appears to be already taking to her new role as a model -- she's even got the cosmetic company's slogan down!

    It's real eerie that Cover Girl chose Ellen. I remember her saying that she hates makeup & only wears it for TV, etc. I also heard that gay women shun it since the "butch look" is preferred(except for lipstick lesbians). I wonder what exciting things are out there for her? Birth control? Maybe?

    Who a person sleeps with, has nothing to do with their ability to do their job and how they are. I just never could understand how these are connected. Whether Ellen is straight or gay, she is still an amazing person that brings a lot of laughter and joy into the homes of many people.

X-Ray needs to take the film off their eyes to see what a beautiful person Ellen truly is. People have a tendony to get caught up on people's sexual preffrence instead of looking at a person for w
