this line of goods looks like cheap junk one can pick up in Big Lots. I don't know why a successful and wealthy person who seems to already have a full life would even be interested in putting her name on this stuff. Home decor to me is fluffy throws, pillows, accent rungs, ottomans, things one can incorporate effortlessly into their one style. This stuff looks like someone went shopping in a crafts store and brought back the clearance aisle junk.

If that's her style, I wouldn't like her home. I remember when Whoopie Goldberg brought her home decor to QVC. One show. that's it.Bed lines and most likely not successful. What's the point?

Why do so many folks care what famous people have in their homes I never understood that... Is life so void that the grass might be greener elsewhere....

good grief, who said I care? I don't and if she didn't bring this junk to QVC I certainly wouldn't look or comment. But since it is hyped because of her sense of style, I commented that if this is her style I wouldn't like it. Don't people know how to comprehend comments anymore? Your ridiculous statement about life being void is not even applicable to this conversation.

I think you're the one who didn't comprehend the comment.

then explain it to me because I don't get sarcasm and clever remarks most of the time. I only understand things that are just plain and simple and to the point. If she meant the general public has lives so void that buying celebrity junk is meaningful to them, aren't I part of the general public.
And if she quoted my post, then I assume she was talking to me only, otherwise she could have made her comment without using my post as a lead-in.

You know what? Given the rest of this thread I want to apologize because I think I am the one that didn't comprehend. {#emotions_dlg.blushing}

I thought javala was commiserating. Now, not so sure.

I was speaking in general sad that many lives are so empty today they fill it with Pop culture, and for most of my life time we have to walk in egg shells we really stop living and being our selves. If someone or thing was misunderstood they should have an opportunity to clarify it and their apology should be accepted, unless proven other wise.

We are not mind readers this where much of the discord starts trying to read minds.

Mean people should be shun not hated or deprived of a living, yet not overly thrill in ones company until they realize their poor behavior.

You can love your follow man but you don't have to like their demeanor at times, and it is good to let them know you are not please.

cold shoulders are not a good place to be.

I truly don't know what any of this means. You quoted my post, said something about lives being void, I asked for explanation and you are saying here people are mean, should be shunned but not hated, not thrilled in one's company and should have an opportunity to apologize. As I said I only understand plan and simple. Don't know what all this means. It's okay if you don't answer because honestly, I don't really care anymore.

Her stuff was cheap, not indicative of someone with class and style and she doesn't need the money so have no idea why she would bring it to QVC.

Re: The Ellen Degeneras line

Why is ellen putting her name behind plastic christmas trees the likes of which are already being made by bethleham lights ? Mugs, throws?? Id much rather see replicates of interesting and unique pieces found inside her own home.

Don't you think they brought in Ellen following Joan's demise just to have a resident comedian, even if it wasn't clear what she'd sell?

true i feel it is to use up wasted space on Q air time. I feel she will draw a new fan base.

many fans of Ellen would not realize just how many trees,mugs,throws are offered under less known names.

Re: The Ellen Degeneras line

I also checked out the preview and saw nothing that would justify my time to watch.

I really don't understand why anyone who is an already financially successful celebrity would want to take a chance with a line which might well end up like another Whoopie Goldberg disaster. I also don't understand QVC's continued choice of new vendors and/or hosts.

Re: The Ellen Degeneras line

As much as I enjoy Ellen for all that she does, and her show, I too wonder why this lackluster assortment of generic, already-sold-on-QVC items. It almost seems like something QVC approached her to just stick her name on random stuff and she said sure, fine, whatever. There doesn't seem to be any of Ellen in any of the items except the mugs.

Re: The Ellen Degeneras line

E.D. seems to have a completely different connotation on TV these days!!{#emotions_dlg.blush} Did she not think of that before developing the line's name? Or because her love is a woman, did she not even

think about it?

LOL! I thought of this as well, and wondered if anybody else caught it!
