Ellen DeGeneres has optioned the movie rights to Jodi Picoult's lesbian novel Sing You Home [[Kindle]], which debuted at #1 on the NYT print list, #1 on the NYT ebook list, and #1 on USA Today's list, notable because it combines fiction and nonfiction. DeGeneres will produce the movie with Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the powerhouse duo behind Hairspray, Chicago, The Bucket List, Serving in Silence: The Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, the forthcoming remake of Footloose, and the upcoming NBC gay series Smash starring Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston. Sing You Home is 44-year-old Picoult's eighteenth novel and her fifth to be adapted for tv or film. Three of those were for Lifetime, the middlebrow station that reviewers mention far more frequently than her B.A. from Princeton and her M.A. from Harvard. (Critics also fail to credit Picoult with pioneering Beyonce's hair art.)
