February 11, 2009
Two of the hottest heroines in Hollywood have been called upon once again—this time by the Humane Society of the United States. Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi will receive the prestigious Wyler Award, honoring a celebrity or public figure who has played a pivotal role in promoting animal protection. The recognition will be given at this year’s Genesis Awards ceremony to be held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles this March. The devoted duo will be acknowledged for raising awareness of myriad animal-rights campaigns, including Proposition 2. We couldn’t be more proud of this compassionate couple!
