          Ellen DeGeneres to Accept People's Choice Humanitarian Award

   by Associated Press

   Ellen DeGeneres is receiving a humanitarian award, and St. Jude
   Children's Research Hospital is reaping the benefits.

   Producers of the[1] People's Choice Awards announced Monday that
   DeGeneres will be recognized as the Favorite Humanitarian at
   Wednesday's ceremony. The honor comes with a $200,000 donation from
   Walgreens, which DeGeneres is directing toward the hospital.

   She joked that the award "sums me up perfectly as I am both a human and
   an itarian.''

   DeGeneres is also nominated for Favorite Talk Show Host at the
   fan-voted People's Choice Awards, which will be presented at the
   Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast on CBS.
