#EllenDegeneres ... she's probably fine, but just needs a little #RestInPeace; so #RIPellen, but don't believe the #RIP-rumors ;-)) @MEAWWofficial @guardian @Reuters @Twitter

Ellen Degeneres, born January 28, 1958, in "Census-Designated Place" Metairie (Jefferson Parish, in the New Orleans metro), Louisiana

On Twitter this morning, I saw that #RIPellen was trending. I looked and saw no claims that she had or hadn't died---just a buncha people posting ''Ellen look-alikes' and other random stuff connected to the tag-phrase.

A little more research revealed that a) she's probably fine, MEAWW says (linked thru the picture above) it was just a rumor that started because she has some non-"be kind to one another" business going on, and that b) there's a rumor that her show--tho it is confirmed to keep going thru 2022--was cancelled in 2020.
