Comedian and writer Ellen DeGeneres has bowed out of an upcoming project for TV to be filmed in New York recently due to threats from the Writers Guild of America. The WGA asserted that the they would protest her appearance and force her to take back the dog Iggy which she adopted and then pushed off on another family. Ellen, being deathly afraid of the little pooch, decided not to cross the picket line after all. Instead she'll just be a SCAB in Burbank and tape the project entitled "Ellen's Big Apple Adventure" in California. Way to show some back-bone Ellen! In response to this turn of events Ms. Degeneres was quoted saying, "OOO, what pretty birds".Link
