Ellen DeGeneres is good at making people laugh. Now, she's going to get even more smiles from her four-legged fans after introducing her very own brand of pet food.
Jeanne Wolf spoke with the animal-loving comic about her new venture and the upcoming election.
So, you're an entrepreneur now.
"I should have done it a long time ago. I was waiting for the right thing."
You're partnering with Halo—which has a great reputation. But you don't have your picture on the can or your name on the product.
"My name will be there sooner or later. We’re thinking about calling it Ellen's Own, sort of like Newman's Own. We're still working on the name."
And Paul Newman will be happy that he inspired it.
"Well, we have the same birthday, so he does inspire me."
I'm told, on good authority, that even humans can eat this dog food.
"Ours is all human grade. It's all natural. And yes, you can eat it. People love their animals so much so that they put little clothes on them and necklaces and booties and things like that. And if you love your animal, then you should feed them something that's not dangerous for them. There's a lot of poisonous stuff that they’re putting in a lot of that food, those by-products."
You know the next question, don't you?
"I have not tasted it yet."
I’m so disappointed.
"I know. A lot of my people have. I have my people taste it first. I have people tasters. No, my life's going pretty good. I don't need to eat it yet."
There are going to be people with shopping carts saying, "If the recession comes, we can eat Ellen's Own."
"If there's some kind of earthquake or something, I can eat pet food."
You're associated with pets in this weird way now because of the Iggy incident. Why do you think that touched such a chord?
"I was associated with pets long before that, so I don't think that's what associated me with pets. But I get the idea that it had gone out of people's minds. Hopefully it will go away. It's a shame that happened, mainly for the dog. I don't really hear about it anymore."
You’re in the middle of the political storm. Everybody is very impressed that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton came on your show. Are you excited about the idea that so many more people are interested in politics right now?
"Oh, yeah. I think everybody is anxious to see what we can do. I think that everybody wants change right now. It’s tough because especially if you’re a democrat, you have two really good possible candidates. So that’s exciting for people, to make history right now, to possibly have the first black president or the first female president. I like that the audience is getting involved, too."
Have you learned more about the process? It seems everybody in the country is worked up.
"I’m paying a lot of attention. I think my mind is made up, but I’m not sure. I’m keeping an open mind. I really want to look at who I truly believe is speaking from their heart and not just being a politician. And I think that’s hard. I think anybody who wants to be president has to be a politician, but I would like to find somebody who’s coming from a loving place instead of a political place."
Both candidates have had to take some negative stands about each other.
"That’s a shame. All that stuff is sad, that everybody has to make somebody bad or wrong, in order for somebody to be better or right."
One of those sources of pride among your team is that you beat Oprah this year.
"I know. It’s exciting."
How did you celebrate beating Oprah?
"I didn’t. When they told me, I was shocked. And that was exciting because she’s so hugely popular, and that they voted me favorite personality or whatever it was."
If you were a politician, what would your pet policy be?
"My pet policy would be to love them and give them as much respect as you would give any living thing and treat them kindly. They’re innocent little souls that are filled with unconditional love. And we should give them the same."

The British supermodel was released Friday from the Brazilian hospital where she underwent emergency surgery Monday to have a small cyst removed from her abdomen.
"She recovered very well from her surgery," Mirtes Bogea, a spokeswoman for the locally renowned Sirio Libanes Hospital, said Friday. "Doctors signed her release, and she left in the afternoon in a helicopter that someone sent to pick her up."
Gynecologist Dr. Jose Aristodemo Pinotti confirmed that he operated on Campbell but would provide no further details about the nature of her condition, only telling the Agencia Estado news service that the 37-year-old was "completely cured."
Pinotti said he performed a laparoscopy, a relatively noninvasive procedure in which a small incision is made, usually through the navel, and a little tube fitted with a camera is inserted to examine a person's abdominal and pelvic organs.
"I cannot reveal what Naomi had, nor how serious her condition was, but I can say I operated on her, and she is completely cured," Pinotti said.
Per local reports, leading infectious disease specialist Dr. David Uip also cared for Campbell during her week-long stay at Sirio Libanes.
"Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work," the catwalker's publicist, Jeff Raymond, said in a statement Tuesday. "She would like to thank the doctors who have kindly looked after her."

BARBARA Walters admits she's always had a hard time with men. "I just wasn't very good at marriage . . . It's nice to have somebody to go to a dinner with, so that you're not that extra woman, but that's not enough reason to stay married," the thrice-divorced chief yenta on "The View" says in next month's Vogue. "I've always been indecisive - marry, not marry; marry this one, no, that one . . . My indecision spilled over into every personal thing. I do it with clothes . . . I do it with stories."

When Hollywood talks about "bankable" stars, it's really only talking about a handful of actors - Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Jodie Foster and Will Ferrell.
For every interesting box-office failure Ferrell offers the public, such as Melinda and Melinda or The Producers, he makes at least two megahits: consider Elf ($220-million worldwide); Anchorman ($90-million); Talladega Nights ($163-million); and last year's Blades of Glory ($145-million). Even Bewitched, dismissed as a flop by critics, hauled in $131-million, and none of these big numbers include home rentals. That math makes Ferrell's antics a solid investment. He's more than bankable - he's the bank itself.
And the former Saturday Night Live player earns every penny. A shameless ham, he will do anything for a laugh: run around naked, drape his ample, hairy trunk over a kitchen table, sport swimwear that would shame a Chippendales model, or, in his latest film, the deliriously silly Semi-Pro, vomit, sing a puerile disco song, wrestle a bear (yes, a real bear) and allow the camera to lovingly pan up his jiggling thighs, right into the underside of his jockstrap.
Fans flock to Ferrell's films because he creates characters endowed with a loveable mix of manic narcissism and keen vulnerability, guileless idiots-savant who are half Tasmanian devil, half wobbly puppy. You watch him because you know he will always up the frantic ante.
