Ellen Cancels Taping, Keith Urban Steps In

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on October 19, 2007 9:01 AM

Ellen DeGeneres canceled yesterday’s taping of her show, but country crooner Keith Urban stepped in to give the scheduled audience an impromptu performance.

Keith was on his way to the studio for rehearsal when he heard Ellen’s announcement that she’d be taking a long weekend following her emotionally-draining dog controversy.

Instead of heading home when he heard the news, The Tennessean is reporting that Keith rocked out to Ellen’s studio audience of about 400 people.

After he finished his set, he reportedly said, “We all love her, and God bless her.”

“Adoption”. What part of this (contract)committment does she not understand? All this extreme upset over a dog and (I love dogs).Does a contract to adopt children also apply or are we able to give them away because it didn’t work out? Shame, shame Ellen. Bo

My heart does go out to Ellen on this matter. She was trying to do the right thing regardless if she read the contract or not. Ellen paid over $3,000.00 for this dog and she did put the dog in a good home. It is so unfair that this group did what they did. I hope this will be resolved and that the family will get the dog back.
On Keith……..he is one classy guy. It doesn’t surprise me that he gave Ellen’s audience a show to remember. Such a kind man. Country singers do have big hearts for helping people.

I think that this all a big blow over it was her dog and she didnt do a crime she got the dog and she gave to a family big deal about it she should be able to do anything that she wants to do…

It doesn’t surprise me at all that Keith would step in and do this. Some people are saying he is a ‘diva’ now that he is married to Nicole. Nope. A diva would have turned around and gone home. Keith has a heart of gold and he’s an animal lover too.
