DeGeneres runs scared of O'Donnell

Ellen DeGeneres has been given her own American TV talk show, but is running scared of one eager guest.

When former TV talk show host loud-mouth Rosie O’Donnell phoned and offered to guest on the first show to boost ratings, Ellen couldn’t wait to get off the phone.

They may both be gay but Ellen thinks Rosie’s flamboyant bitchiness has hurt the gay cause and according to the National Enquirer, she has no intention of booking her.

In addition to her guestlist woes, after her own gay outing sitcom debacle back in the 90s, Ellen dreads getting tagged again with the "gay show" label.
