Ellen DeGeneres is getting a promotion — to supreme being. DeGeneres will star as God in a remake of the 1977 comedy "Oh, God!" The original starred George Burns as the creator and John Denver as a supermarket manager tapped as a new prophet by the deity.
"Ellen is a strong comedienne and she has always done material about God and questions about God," said Jerry Weintraub, who produced the original movie and also will oversee the remake.

The management apologizes for the sarcasm in this post
HollywoodThink: "Wow, a lot of people went to see The Passion of the Christ. People must really be interested in spiritual issues. Hey, I know! Let's remake 'Oh, God!'. And let's cast a lesbian in the title role! That'll show the public that we're interested in spiritual issues too!"
