Ellen DeGeneres

What’s not to love about Ellen DeGeneres? She’s cute, funny, a great dancer; and she has her own top-rated TV show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. This year, the multiple award-winning daytime host took a primetime seat at the judge’s table on American Idol. The super-talented DeGeneres recently announced on her show that she is starting a record label called eleveneleven, and will sign piano-playing, Gaga-imitating pre-teen YouTube star Greyson Chance as her first act. A lesbian icon since she publicly came out in 1997, DeGeneres married her partner Portia de Rossi in 2008. -CB
