Momentum is growing for a bid which began in a central North Island town to convince Ellen DeGeneres to visit New Zealand. Taumarunui resident Jazz, 23, started a Facebook page ‘Help Bring Ellen to New Zealand’ which now has more than 1,400 supporters. “I love Ellen, I know the people of New Zealand love her as well,” Jazz says. “She is kind, generous, isn't two faced, likes people for who they are and what they are, we need more people like Ellen in this world.” Jazz says the initial Facebook response has been good and is hopeful the support keeps growing. A song has even been created, calling for Ellen to come to New Zealand for some "chilling", which you can hear one version of below. DeGeneres recently visited Australia with her Australian wife Portia de Rossi.
