We thought long and hard about who we thought would be the perfect woman to kick start our 2014 Girl Crush campaign, and there really is no one better than Ellen DeGeneres.
The talk show host is one funny and very classy lady and is certainly one of our favourites. Here are eleven reasons why.
1. Because she is damn honest.
Ellen has always been completely honest about her relationships and sexual orientation. She's even honest enough to let Portia tell everyone what bugs her about being married to Ellen.

2. She's Dory!
The most hilarious fish ever!

... ok maybe after Billy Crystal.

And it was amazing.

5. She is exceptionally good at finding random talent on YouTube.
Remember Sophia and Grace? You do, but we guarantee it was because of Ellen.

She can dish it AND take it.

Please make it stop. It's all too much.

We think she might have been drunk. And hilarious.
