Ellen Degeneres couldn’t sell her Montecito home, so in the beginning of October she famously went on her talk show and website to hawk the place.

In mid-November, one of her viewers up in San Francisco saw the show and ended up buying the place for $20 million! Not bad, considering Ellen bought it the year before for only $16 million…

Ellen Degeneres gave a pet dog away to a member of her staff two years before her recent pooch scandal, according to reports.

The talk show host and her partner Portia de Rossi came under fire by the Mutts And Moms agency after handing over custody of the Brussels Griffon mix to DeGeneres’ hairdresser after it fought with her cats.

Now dog owner Kerri Randles claims she gave DeGeneres a pooch named Stormy two years ago (05), only to find out she had given it away two months later.

She tells New York gossip column PageSix, “She may have had it for much less time than that. I only say two months because that’s when I called to check on the dog and found out she no longer had it. ”

She acted like she was keeping it for life. I was totally shocked. I thought she was out of her mind.”

So Ellen is very upset lately about this dog situation. I’m sure you’ve heard about it, but if not, here is a low down. Ellen and her girlfriend Portia adopted a dog named Iggy. Ellen paid to have the dog neutered and trained at a whopping $3,000.00. She also donated $600.00 to the Mutts and Moms dog agency were they adopted the dog. Well come to find out Iggy did not get along with Ellen and Portia’s cats so they had to find a new home for Iggy. Ellen found a loving home in her hairdresser and her family. Her two daughters immediately fell in love with Iggy. Well some chick from Mutts and Moms found out and went off on Ellen. Apparently, when Ellen adopted the dog she signed a paper that said if it didn’t work out she would return the dog to Mutts and Moms. Ellen thought she was doing a good thing by finding a wonderful home for Iggy. The head lady at Mutts and Moms went over to Ellen’s hairdresser’s house and took the dog away. Ellen was crying on her show and the girls are all upset.

She said, “I kept saying, ‘If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me, but don’t take it out on the family. Don’t take it out on the dog.’”

I hope that Ellen gets that dog back for those little girls. Go over to TMZ.com and watch the video they have on it. It makes me sad. Ellen always trys to help animals and I’m totally on her side.

Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi want to have a baby, but cannot decide which of them will give birth to the child. The chat show host and the former Ally McBeal star have been together for two years and would like to become parents, but must first decide who will carry the baby.

Portia told W magazine: “We would like to have children some day. Ellen would carry.”

Ellen replied: “That will never happen!”

Meanwhile, Ellen can’t decide what to wear when she presents the Oscars because she has been inundated with outfits.

She said: “Everybody’s sending me stuff. Gucci sent me this amazing package with all kinds of designs and different kinds of fabrics. They’re making me something. Zac Posen sent me a gorgeous tuxedo. Viktor and Rolf is making me something.”
