Ellen was reported to have become a vegan in 2008 after she read "The Skinny Bitch" book. She and her wife hosted an all-vegan wedding (food and cake) and contributes to many animal protection charities like The Humane Society of the United States.

i don't think so. Cover Girl is made by Proctor and Gamble--a company that conducts animal testing. maybe she is not aware of this, or maybe the Cover Girl department doesn't test on animals. that's a conundrum, especially since P & G bought out Tom's of Maine, yet Tom's still refuses to test on animals and their products contain no animal ingredients.

I am a vegetrain because of the skinny bitch book. I am working now after three years vegetrain to become vegan. I have kids that would starve if I did completly vegan though lol. I too had question about the cover girl thing as well. I hope she considers this issue in the future. She is an amazing person I refuse to believe that she would promote animal testing knowingly.

According to Wiki, both Ellen and Portia de Rossi are no longer vegans, they've stopped becoming vegan for 1 or 2 years ago. Ellen, is still using leather products and still a spokesperson of CoverGirl, using animals testing.
