Ellen slams anti-gay group

Nice comeback to a so-called pro-family group that opposes the talk show host's new role as JC Penney spokeswoman. "Normally I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I'd like to talk about it 'cause my haters are motivators" DeGeneres says on today's show. The group, One Million Moms, claims that "JC Penney is attempting to gain a new target market and in the process will lose customers with traditional values that have been faithful to them over all these years." Not likely - if anything, the retailer will probably pick up a few new shoppers as a result of the group's hateful message. Even Bill O'Reilly called the boycott "a witch hunt."
