Ellen DeGeneres is looking rather blue these days, even when she's wearing gray.
The embattled talk show host was spotted on a solo outing in Montecito, California, looking down and out on Monday afternoon.
The 63-year-old comedian appeared to have welled-up eyes and a furrowed brow as she walked out of The Montecito Country Mart in a head-to-toe gray ensemble. Her wife, Portia de Rossi, was nowhere in sight.
With a water bottle in one hand and her phone in the other, DeGeneres adjusted her face mask as her expression went from sad to pensive.
What could she be thinking about?
Perhaps the news that Kelly Clarkson will be taking over her talk show slot when The Ellen DeGeneres Show comes to an end?
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, The Kelly Clarkson Show will be filling the daytime TV void come next fall.
"NBC believes Kelly is the perfect choice to take the throne from Ellen. They have invested so much money and time into the brand ... they really have faith in her to bring in that advertising revenue," sources revealed last month.
In fact, insiders told us that network heads have been grooming the well-liked Season 1 American Idol winner to take over for Ellen ever since she launched her own show in 2019.
