Ellen is among some 30+ celebrities in a month-long online video campaign supporting Burmese Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. In her skit, which is set to air on Sunday, Ellen will draw a Hitler mustache on a portrait of Burmese military leader Than Shwe.
For the uninformed (and I wouldn't blame you), Suu Kyi is the National League for Democracy party leader in Burma and won the general election in 1990. She would have assumed the role of Prime Minister, but the military refused to hand over any power, and since then, Suu Kyi has been under house arrest for over 12 years, and has been in detention since 2003. During that time, she has received many awards, including a Nobel Peace Prize.

Ellen named to PEOPLE's 100 Most Beautiful list
Ellen makes it to another magazine's irrelevant "beautiful people" list. How irrelevant is this list? Here's some of the other people who made the cut - the cast of Gossip Girl, the cast of The Hills, Kim Porter, Kelly Osbourne, Pink and Rumer Willis.

Ellen to appear on Jay Leno
Ellen Page will be a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, this coming Wednesday, April 9th. Promoting Smart People and the Juno DVD, I'll assume. Yes, I'm lazy, no need to tell me.
