Ellen's Birthday Surprise

Filed under: Ellen DeGeneres

The talk show queen was treated to a very special bday present on Friday.

In celebration of her 50th, some of her previous guests did their best rendition of the disco classic I Will Survive.

Click here to check it out!

Featuring appearances by by Jake Gyllenhaal, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Celine Dion, David Spade, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah, Heidi Klum and more.

An even better present that DeGeneres got, the AARP donated $200,000 in Ellen's name to Brad Pitt's Make It Right campaign. That brings the total amount of money she raised for the organization to help revitalize her hometown of New Orleans to $700,000.

So awesome!

Happy birthday, Ellen!

      Ellen is a scab! Crossing the picket lines is not only uncool–it shows what a hypocrite she is. It's all about the money for her. Gross.

      Being in Outside Sales in Southeast Louisiana, I see a lot of the area…New Orleans, outside of the touristy areas and malls, is struggling. They still need help. Last year my company revisited an area which used to, before Katrina, hold over ten thousand. Now, only 300 have returned. The economic impact on the State in our region has shifted population, businesses, families and entire communities to the "Northshore" and "Tangi Region". Or out of the state.
      Please, Brad Pitt's charity is making a difference in some of these communities. We need to bring our neighborhoods back, our culture as well as our houses.

      Where the heck was Brad Pitt? She raised a hell of a lot of money for his chairity. He couldn't even pick up the phone and leave her a birthday message! Even Tom Cruise picked up the phone and called her. I am starting not to like Brad.

      Perez censoring today? I posted a comment 2 hours ago and it still has not appeared yet someone just posted a comment only 2 minutes ago and it posted. What gives?

    19. yanksgirl says – reply to this

      Here were my original comments that should have been posted over 2 hours ago to this story. I think Henner Bo Benner has it backwards. Portia DeRossi is the one that is devastatingly hot in that coupling, not Ellen Degeneres! Here is what your "hottie" Ellen looks like with no make up just a couple of hours before taping her show where she has been made up by the shows hair and makeup crews. Here is the link to the picture below and look at the date and time in the upper-left corner of the picture.

      Now here is the photo of your "hottie" 2 hours after the picture above was taken after she has had hair and makeup done by her crew. Here is the link below:

      Ellen is definitely not a "hottie" at all. Portia wins the beauty contest hands down in this relationship! Portia is the one that most would like to score with not Ellen!

      Re: yanksgirl

      There are no links to the pictures that I am referring to in my last post because Perez is censoring this informaton. But the pictures are on imageshack.com. They are image numbers 84 and 215 dated December 13,2007. I guess he does not want people to see the Ellen really looks minus makeup from professional makeup artists? This is so much fun! I'm lovin it.

      For those interested, I have just learned that you cannot look at the pictures of Ellen because they were scanned in under a private account with imageshack.us. They were sent to me by that person. Sorry. The photos are shocking seriously! For those commenters who say gee Ellen does not look 50, they're right. Without makeup done by her professional makeup artist, she unfortunately looks 65. The money raised for the foundation, however, is great to hear!

      PARIS WAS THE WORST. SHE IS SO STAGED, STIFF, AND PREDICATBLE. EVERYTHING SHE DOES LOOKS FAKE, LIKE SHES SMILING IT THRU BUT SHES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. WHEN THE SONG SAYS "SIDE" PARIS POINTS TO HER SIDE. WHEN IT SAYS "BACK" SHE TURNS HER BACK! HOW UNNATURAL! YES, POSH IS STIFF TOO BUT HER BODY MOVEMENTS DOES NOT LOOK UNNATURAL AND FORCED–PLUS SHES PRETTY!
