Ellen + Oprah on the Next Cover of O Magazine.

For months Ellen DeGeneres has begged Oprah to be on the cover of O Magazine. After Oprah shared her coveted cover with President’s Obama’s wife Michelle, Ellen found it a little un-affair of Oprah to exclude others from being on the O cover. “I am special too Oprah,” said DeGeneres.

And I completely agree. You are special too Ellen. While, there were rumors that Oprah did not want share the limelight with Ellen because they were two “different” types of stars; Ellen won her battle with Oprah and will be featured on the next cover of O magazine. (YAY!)

Yes, Oprah and Ellen are two different types of stars, but, in Ellen’s defense, she is just as successful as Oprah. (Not, “if I endorse your product it will fly off the shelves,” successful, but she IS successful.) Ellen and Oprah appeal to two different demographics; audiences (i.e. demographics) that watch Ellen and Oprah for very different reasons. (Hell, after thinking about it, Ellen and Oprah most likely have the exact same fans…well not exact per se….but, you know what I mean…)

AND WHAT ABOUT THE COVER? After seeing it, I don’t know if I liked what I saw. Oprah looks like she got the upper hand and I really don’t like nor appreciate that, especially as a fan of both women. While Oprah is Oprah and the creator of O magazine (and its direction/content), I found Ellen portrayed as somewhat silly and dormant. Ellen dressed in all white with Christmas lights? I honestly, did not even see her there on the cover…I mean come on, she blended in with the WHITE background in her WHITE suit. Thank God for the lights, but, I digress…

Nevertheless, Ellen has won her battle with Oprah and will be featured on the cover of the next Christmas cover of O. The cover is smart and extremely funny, and shows both women in their element. So, like most of my other blog posts this one goes out to Ellen DeGeneres. You ROCK and congratulations on your campaign win to be on the next cover of O magazine with the one and only Oprah.
