Celebrity talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has been named the most powerful gay celebrity in the US in a new magazine poll.
The 56-year-old, who is married to ‘Arrested Development’ actress Portia de Rossi, secured the top spot on Out magazine’s 2014 Power List, an annual ranking of the most influential LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) voices in American culture, reported New York Daily News.
Announcing the news on its website, the publication stated, “Everybody loves Ellen, and that’s one of the reasons she’s regained the top spot. In March, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ shattered its own 10-year ratings record in the episode that immediately followed her Academy Awards hosting gig, which also gave the awards its best ratings since 2004.
