ELLEN DEGENERES’ BROTHER SAYS SHE IS BEING ‘VICIOUSLY ATTACKED’ – (08/06/2020)
Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.
Ellen DeGeneres’ brother Vance has her back. The older brother took to social media to defend his 62-year-old sister against what he calls vicious attacks. DeGeneres’ eponymous show is being investigated by WarnerMedia amid allegations of a “toxic” work environment and on-set bullying, racism and sexual harassment.
“My sister is being viciously attacked. And let me assure you – it is all bulls**t,” he began on Facebook, before encouraging those who don’t support Ellen to unfriend him on the social media site.
He continued: “I’m sick and tired of my sister being attacked. She always has – and always will – stand against bullying of any kind. She’s a smart, strong woman who has made a positive difference in the world. And to my friends who did respond with support for Ellen and my family, thank you so much. It means a lot.”
On Twitter, he wrote: “If you think Ellen would knowingly allow bullying or racism on her show, you don’t know my sister. She has been and continues to be a bright light in a dark world. “She’s one of the kindest, most generous people you’ll ever meet. And one of the funniest.”
Hollywood is divided. Several celebs, including Jerry O’Connell, Katy Perry, Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Hart, have voiced their support of her, while Brad Garrett and the show’s former DJ, Tony Okungbowa have said the mean girl accusations are true.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the star is “crushed” over the allegations and “invested in making sure those things are properly changed,” and insider told People.
The show is expected to return September 9th and she is ready to return to her hosting duties.
“She wants to just put out a great show that makes people happy and feel good,” the source said. “She’s very focused on that.”
Last week, Warner Bros said that it has “identified several staffing changes, along with appropriate measures to address the issues that have been raised, and are taking the first steps to implement them.”

JAKE PAUL’S HOME RAIDED BY THE FBI – (08/06/2020)
The FBI raided YouTube star Jake Paul’s home Wednesday morning. A spokeperson for the FBI told ET that they executed a search warrant at a house in Calabasas, though the information is sealed. Other sources confirmed that the home belongs to Paul.
The FBI told ET: “The FBI is executing a federal search warrant at a residence in Calabasas in connection with an ongoing investigation. The affidavit in support of the search warrant has been sealed by a judge and I am, therefore, prohibited from commenting as to the nature of the investigation. No arrests are planned.”
This comes on the heels of backlash over a massive party at his home amid rising cases of coronavirus. Videos of the bash surfaced on social media, showing a crowded party without social distancing measures or masks on attendees.
Paul was also charged with unlawfully entering and remaining inside Arizona’s Scottsdale Fashion Square mall when it was closed. Paul had participated in a Black Lives Matter protest, which devolved. ABC reported that law enforcement said “was present after the protest was declared an unlawful assembly and the rioters were ordered to leave the area by police.”
On social media, Paul responded to reports, writing to his 3.7 million Twitter followers: “Neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism. For context, we spent the day doing our part to peacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen, which led to us being tear-gassed for filming the events and brutality that were unfolding in Arizona.”

KATY PERRY AND JERRY O’CONNELL GO TO BAT FOR ELLEN DEGENERES – (08/05/2020)
Ellen DeGeneres’ army of pals has been notably silent as the talk show host gets dragged for the “toxic” environment she allegedly helped create on the set of her eponymous show. Reports of her own bullying behavior, and harassment and racism on the part of her producers has prompted an investigation by WarnerMedia.
But Katy Perry and Jerry O’Connell have roared to her defense as noted friends Jennifer Aniston, the Kardashian family and Oprah Winfrey have stood silently by. The “Firework” singer sent out a series of late-night and early morning tweets.
In one, Perry wrote: “I know I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience besides my own but I want to acknowledge that I have only ever had positive takeaways from my time with Ellen & on the @theellenshow. I think we all have witnessed the light & continual fight for equality that she has brought … to the world through her platform for decades. Sending you love & a hug, friend.”
DJ Samantha Ronson also supported her, writing: “Unpopular opinion: I’ve worked for @TheEllenShow as a dj, for her parties, for years and she has ALWAYS been respectful and kind to me.”
Jerry O’Connell reposted a photo DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi sent out on IG Monday, captioning it: “Love Ellen and Portia. Always have. Always will.”
Polo player Nacho Figueras wrote of his experience with DeGeneres: “Everyone was super nice, not just to me but to each other and anyone involved. I have seen Ellen act not just in her show but in public appearances in theaters where she is nice to absolutely everyone, the guy serving the coffee, the person in the elevator, the security guy and the owner of the venue.”
Many fans dragged the celebs for their support. Ronson responded to one writing: “I knew this was coming, but you’d be surprised by how many people are super rude when you become someone they are writing a cheque to. It’s super disappointing.

ELLEN DEGENERES STAFFER SPEAKS ON ‘TOXIC’ HOST AS WIFE PORTIA DE ROSSI DEFENDS HER – (08/04/2020)
Dozens of Ellen DeGeneres Show employees have spoken out on the show’s “toxic” work environment, and claimed that racism, sexual harassment were rife and tacitly approved on-set. Ellen DeGeneres has sought to distance herself from the allegations, but former producer Hedda Muskat says she was well aware of the issues.
In an interview with The Wrap, Muskat explains she joined the show in 2003, when it was just beginning. She says a “culture of fear” was a problem from the get-go.
“I had never seen this before,” the Daytime Emmy Award winner, who previously worked on The Howie Mandel Show and The Martin Short Show, says. “I had never been around a toxic host.”
Muskat adds that exec producer Ed Glavin made the environment worse. When he “went off” on staffers, she remembers “waiting for Ellen to say something” to Glavin, but she allegedly “giggled” instead. Muskats continues: “She crossed her legs up on the chair and she said, ‘Well, I guess every production needs their dog.’ And from then we knew. Ed was going to be the barking dog — her dog. You could just see everybody’s faces go stiff. We’re professionals; we’re adults. We don’t need a dog to get us to do our jobs. … She was the only one giggling.”
She says she was let go, days before winning her first Emmy. “They call me in and Ed says, ‘Congratulations on the nomination. We really appreciate what you’ve done, but we no longer need your services,’” she recalls, noting that Glavin told her producers were “taking the show in a different direction.”
Warner Bros. is investigating misconduct at the show.
PORTIA DE ROSSI
De Rossi, meanwhile, is standing by her 62-year-old wife.
The 47-year-old writes on social media: “To all our fans….we see you. Thank you for your support,” adding the hashtags #stopbotattacks, #IStandWithEllenDeGeneres, #IStandByEllen, #IstandByEllenDeGeneres and #bekindtooneanother, the phrase with which DeGeneres closes out her show each day.
Other Hollywood insiders have not been as supportive. Comedian Kevin Porter dubbed her “notoriously one of the meanest people alive,” and Brad Garrett and Lea Thompson also slammed her. Other old friends and allies—from Jennifer Aniston to Oprah Winfrey to the Kardashians—have been silent.

ANREW LLOYD WEBBER DRAGS ‘CATS’ MOVIE – (08/04/2020)
Andrew Lloyd Webber has joined the vocal gang of Cats detractors. The 72-year-old composer, who wrote the musical that became a cultural juggernaut in the 1980s, opened up about his thoughts on the 2019 film in The Sunday Times.
He threw director Tom Hopper under the bus: “The problem with the film was that Tom Hooper decided, as he had with Les Mis, that he didn’t want anybody involved in it who was involved in the original show. The whole thing was ridiculous.”
The film version of Cats starred Idris Elba, Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson, Judi Dench, James Corden and was widely derided by critics, fans and even the stars themselves.
Dench told Vogue she looked “like a battered, mangy old cat.” Dench added, “A great big orange bruiser. What’s that about?”
Corden said he hasn’t seen it but that “I had the loveliest time making that film. It took me six days and I loved every single second of it. So I think you’ve got to be careful not to decide – you’ve got to decide things on your own personal experience. And I had a really great time. So I don’t regret it at all, because I decided to do it in the same way that I’ve decided to do many things. Some have worked, and some haven’t.”
