The queens of daytime TV met on Friday. On Skype. Where else?
Ellen Degeneres has been campaigning to appear on the cover of Oprah Winfrey's O magazine. Ellen had herself Photoshopped onto O covers.
On Friday, Oprah, who has used Skype on her show over the past year, made a surprise visit to Ellen's show via Skype and invited Ellen, who has been the face of CoverGirl cosmetics, to be a covergirl on O magazine's cover.
Oprah had appeared solo on the cover until the April 2009 issue which she shares with First Lady Michele Obama, Huffington Post reports.
"When I first heard about this," said Oprah. "I thought it was such a fantastic idea. I was only sorry that I did not think of it myself. So I am calling to officially invite you on the cover of O."
"Are you serious?!" Ellen said before jumping up to run and kiss the camera. "I gotta go do a photo shoot. When do we do it? What happens?"
"I can't believe you are serious about this, I am freaking out right now!" Ellen said
