Hi.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Two years in a row, you've been here for my birthday.
I know.
Well, now it's a tradition.
Now every year you'll have to be with me.
I begged them to come on.
They were like, no, no!
And then finally, I just showed up, hair and makeup ready.
And I don't know who they bumped, but I got through.
Not true, not true.
I asked for you.
Has Dax ever written a song like that for you?
Because that was pretty special.
That was very-- no, he's never done anything that romantic.
But he wanted to do something special for your birthday,
as did I. And I would like to give you--
this, Ellen.
It's not huge, but it's meaningful to me.
Because it said it took 60 years to look this good,
but I don't think it's pointing to your face.
I think it's pointing to your heart.
Aw.
That's the truth.
It's the truth.
Because you give so much joy, and you
have had 60 years of wisdom in how
to share that joy to the greatest degree possible.
And we're all just very grateful.
Thank you so much.
That's very sweet of you.
And I do feel that-- how old are you?
37.
I feel like as you get older, you just
get so much more comfortable in your skin,
and feel better about yourself and about life.
And you don't stress as much, don't you think?
You truly stop sweating the small stuff.
Yes.
You were like, oh yeah, it's kind of tick tockin'
away from me, so let's just smile more.
Yeah, I agree.
Exactly.
Well, I'm glad-- and you look fantastic.
Thanks.
Beautiful girl.
You looked so beautiful on the SAG awards the other night.
Thank you.
Yeah, that was a great job.
Thanks.
That was really fun.
Very funny.
It was really fun.
Let's talk about Nicole Kidman.
So Nicole-- look how beautiful she looked.
So you're mingling with everybody.
And then Nicole Kidman wins, gets up on stage
and says she's got the flu.
And I'm thinking, why would you go in a room full--
she's going to infect all of Hollywood.
Yeah, And by the way, that's what she looks
like when she's got the flu?
Like what's the point-- why are we even getting up
in the morning?
That what she looks like when she's got the flu.
And then she's putting her grubby hands
all over everything.
I know.
But I didn't catch it.
I haven't come down with it yet.
Thankfully.
Good, because I don't need anybody
bringing me any kind of--
I agree.
I don't want to be like in here and be like, I just also have
the flu, can you believe it?
When people do that, I'm just like what?
Etiquette, guys.
I'm going to start--
because that flu is bad that's going around,
I'm going to start doing my show in a bubble.
Like a plastic thing where my hands come out like that,
like bubble boy.
It's very futuristic.
I like it.
I kinda like it.
And then I don't get sick.
It's never been done before.
No, I don't think it has.
Maybe you should try it.
I'm going to try it.
Let's talk about your husband who I love.
But he is--
And he loves you--
And I love him.
--as evidenced by his birthday gift.
But he is strange.
Yeah, oh yeah.
So he was on the show the other day, and he showed--
and I'm sure this is real--
there's a poster of Antonio Banderas
on the ceiling above your bed.
Yeah.
Well, this is why we're a perfect match.
It's not actually his poster.
It's my poster.
But you know, I had had one in my childhood bedroom of Tony B.
And he said to me after he saw it,
he said, you just put that up because all of your--
because look, I didn't go through puberty
until I was like 26.
So he was like, that was the first poster you found,
wasn't it?
And I was like, yeah, I just was like, wait,
everybody's putting posters of guys up?
OK, I guess I've got to put one up.
And I immediately put that up.
So as a joke, our friend got it for us, put it above our bed.
And it has been there for 9 months, since my birthday.
So he claims that looking at that helped him prolong coitus.
Yeah, it has the opposite effect on me.
Yeah, OK.
But that's what he said.
It might help him.
But look at him.
It's a very-- he calls it the most successful poster.
He says it's a very successful poster because Antonio's just
really giving it.
He really is.
He is not holding back.
Few guys in the world can pull that off.
He's not ashamed of posing like that.
That bell and a necklace and a hip joust like that?
Get real, no.
