Did Ellen's dream just come true?

o magazineI work at home now, which is how I've discovered the wonder and glory of daytime television. If you're at all like me, then you really need to go someplace other than your house and Target. Also, you watch Ellen every day. On nearly every show lately, Ellen has been campaigning to get on the cover of O Magazine.

Ellen has made it clear that she doesn't want to be on the cover alone-- with Ms. Winfrey would be perfectly acceptable. She has also made it clear that she will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. After snafus that included calling Harpo Studios to speak with Oprah and being left on hold for 11 minutes, only to be told that Oprah was in a meeting, it looks as though Ellen's dream may have finally come true.

DeGeneres posted the following on her official Twitter feed: "Oprah just asked me to be on the cover of O magazine!" Now, since it's Twitter, there's no further explanation or confirmation. I, however, choose to take it at face and congratulate Ellen on reaching her goal-- and beginning her takeover of Oprah's empire.

I dont like either Oprah or Michelle-regardless I hated the cover. I think they are great looking women for their age and represent healthy bodies, but Oprah looks like she is mid sentence and Michelle looks like she is mid movement. How unflattering! When I saw it I wondered why they picked that pic. I hope Ellen is by herself looking fabulous!

It looks like Oprah is praying to her idol Michelle, the way their hands are positioned....Michelle looks like one of those front-yard statues and Oprah her adoring follower. Kinda scary!!

I meant to include this in my earlier comment, but despite the weight gain and her 50+ years, I always felt Oprah still looked fabulous on those covers. But on this one, standing beside Michele Obama, she should've left herself off -

I am loving Ellen and her campaign. It was funnier watching her focus on Clooney than the interview itself (which I missed). Now, I have to start finding clips about her attempts to contact Oprah -
