ELLEN DEGENERES - ELLEN DEGENERES NO FAN OF O'DONNELL

American comedian ELLEN DEGENERES may be getting her own television talk show, but there is no way she wants ROSIE ODONNELL to appear as a guest.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE star Rosie phoned the EDTV actress offering to appear on the first episode to boost ratings.

But Ellen, 45, doesn't take comfort in the fact both are lesbians because she feels Rosie's bitchy behaviour has damaged the gay cause and doesn't want the new programme to be labelled a "gay show".
