Comedian DeGeneres ascends to deity’s role in Oh, God! updateLOS ANGELES (AP) — Ellen DeGeneres is getting a promotion — to supreme being.DeGeneres will star as God in a remake of the 1977 comedy Oh, God! The original starred George Burns as the creator and John Denver as a supermarket manager tapped as a new prophet.“Ellen is a strong comedian and she has always done material about God and questions about God,” said Jerry Weintraub, who produced the original movie and also will oversee the remake.Weintraub said he’ll hire a screenwriter and director with the aim to shoot the movie during a break in DeGeneres’ schedule from her talk show next summer.Though successful on the small screen, DeGeneres misfired in an earlier transition to film with the romantic-comedy flop Mr. Wrong. She helped score a hit with her voice work on last year’s animated tale Finding Nemo.

Clearly a lot of planning, effort, and enthusiasm going into this. He must be banking on God-is-a-lesbian controversy to take care of everything.

I sometimes have felt very alone in not liking her whatsoever

she is quintessence of bland, and her 'explanation' shows why

I think her oscars selfie and the subsequent plea to share it (which worked) is what sent me over the precipice

in response to this btw:
When you move to LA the first two things that happen are you get a parking ticket and someone who once worked for Ellen will tell you a story about how she's a monster— I do not have any "ellen tea" please stop asking (@ItsDanSheehan) October 7, 2019
sorry to twitter it up in here but
