Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Ellen Degeneres is breaking into modelling – and is set to become the new face of beauty brand, CoverGirl, according to US reports.

Ellen, who recently married her long-term lover Portia de Rossi, is the surprise new spokesperson for the brand, following in the footsteps of stars like Drew Barrymore, Rihanna, and Christie Brinkley.

The 50-year-old Emmy award-winning talk show host is rumoured to have garnered a six-figure sum for the deal.

An insider told the NY Post gossip column PageSix: ‘She is shooting the campaign this week,’ adding: ‘She must have got at least $1 million for it.’

Christie Brinkley, who was the original face of CoverGirl cosmetics, promoted the brand for 20 years, and has now been rehired to promote their new line of products, which is aimed at older women.

I am 73 years old and think it's about time someone remembers the older women when it comes to cosmetics. I just bought the "Simply
ageless" (covergirl/olay) However,there are no directions. Do I wet the sponge or leave it dry? Do I start at top of face, or at bottom or anywhere I want. Thank you for any help you can give.
