People are talking ...

Emil Steiner's post "Cry Me a River, Ellen DeGeneres!" in the Washington Post's Offbeat Column is generating a TON of comments from readers.

Emil said, "With her emotional and peremptory elocution, Ellen avoided being mauled by the tabloids and, more important, avoided disappointing her adoring fans. Rather than deny and explain, she confessed and begged forgiveness. And by crying those tears, whether alligator or not, she most likely won over even more fans. Think I'm being too cynical? Watch the video and decide for yourself."

After you watch the video, scroll through the comments - some are just hilarious.
