Bippity boppity boop, it’s your Monday Pop Culture Fix!
+ Anne Heche is out here talking about the Ellen controversy???
If I’m standing someplace and I don’t like what’s going on there and I stay there, it’s my fault. So what are the actions that got me there and why can’t I get out of it easily if that’s not something that I want to be engaged in? Ellen is standing where she walks, and that is hers to continue that journey.
I also have no idea what that means. She did say dating Ellen was a “beautiful part of her life” that she “wears with honor.”
