Initially annoyed by the, 2 hour, late arrival of Mariah Carey to her show, Ellen Degeneres, in her own carefree manner turned the ignorant behaviour of Carey around to her own advantage.
How? By wearing all the ridiculous gifts the over rated song bird brought to the show to celebrate Ellen’s 50th ‘anniversary’.
Don’t we just love Ellen and despise the wicked witch of the East?
Ellen hosted a party Saturday night which included 600 well-wishers which included Janet Jackson, Tom Hanks, Allison Janney, Ray Romano, Joely Fisher, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Paris Hilton and sister Nicky Hilton with their boyfriends Benji Madden and David Katzenberg and, of course, DeGeneres’ girlfriend, Portia de Rossi.
Pink was in attendance to perform three acoustic numbers, including Janis Joplin’s Me and Bobby McGee.
Ellen’s party was not televised but she did air small snippets during her show on Monday.

The muscial blonde bomb shell, Gwen Stefani, who keeps her life out of the spot light and when she is in the news, and makes headlines, it’s for positive stuff, has announced, through her father in law that she and hot hubby Gavin Rossdale are preggers!
Their son, Kingston, is now two years old and the rockin’ family is ready to expand once again.
Congrats, you guys!

The singer, who is due to perform in Kuala Lumpur’s Stadium Putra on August 21, won’t wear any revealing costumes after Muslim groups branded her “indecent” and “obscene”.Mobile phone company Maxis Communications, who is sponsoring the show, said: “Gwen Stefani will abide by the Malaysian authorities’ guidelines to ensure that her show will not be offensive to local sensitivities.”Rozalita Abdul Rahman, Maxis Communications’ general manager of media, research and events, revealed Gwen was warned she must respect Muslim beliefs.
He said: “Maxis Communications respects the values and conventions of this country.”"Whether it concerns the singer’s attire or the security for the concert, we will abide by the rules and guidelines and assure that nothing will go wrong.”All foreign artists need to understand our culture and at the same time, as for Malaysians, we also need to have an open mind on such matters.”
Earlier this week, the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students called for the concert to be scrapped because they claimed Gwen’s image offends Islamic beliefs.Malaysia’s Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry officers are set to attend the concert to ensure the country’s cultural ethics code is respected.
Female artists must be covered from the top of their chests to their knees and can’t wear clothes featuring offensive messages or images referring to sex or drugs.They are banned from shouting, hugging or kissing during their performance and must not throw anything into the audience.
Last year, a music promoter was reportedly fined $3,200 because a Pussycat Dolls concert was deemed too racy.
