Easy, Breezy, Beautiful…Ellen DeGeneres??!!

 

It was announced yesterday that Ellen DeGeneres is the new spokes model for cosmetics giant CoverGirl. WHAT?  I know!!

The comedienne/talk-show host, 50, was rumored to have signed a six-figure deal with the make-up firm last week, following in the footsteps of Rihanna and Drew Barrymore. But Ellen confirmed her new job, revealing the news on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.  Being the jokester that she is she said:

  “You know how I always like to share what’s going on in my life with you all, and I was going to give you some news and, unfortunately, rumors started circulating all over the Internet. I am here to set the record straight right now. I am not pregnant. It just turned out to be a bump. I went and had it checked out.”

 She then continued:

“I am the new face of CoverGirl”, before striking a model-like pose and quipping, “That’s the first thing they teach you when you’re a CoverGirl.” 

“I am very, very excited about it. It’s a very cool thing, I’m honored and the photo shoot was ‘easy, breezy, beautiful… CoverGirl’.”
