- You and Portia--I think we talked about this before--
You and Portia grew up near each other in Australia.
- In the same country. - Yeah--in the same country.
[laughter]
- There's not many of us.
- Did you see each other often?
- Yeah, "Hello!" - Yeah.
- Yeah, in the same-- - No, you were in Melbourne.
Right? - Yeah, that's right.
- And then you moved to Sydney. - Yes.
Away from the spiders, the sharks, the snakes.
- Aren't they everywhere?
There really are the most deadly spiders and snakes anywhere--
- Well, no, we have more deadly snakes than people, actually,
so it is, you know.
But there--I was talking to someone earlier--
- She doesn't mean by "deadly people,"
she means by--just "people."
- We have a lot of deadly people too.
- Yes, but more snakes.
- I can't--look, I still can't-- It's a year later
and I still can't string a sentence together.
- [laughs] - Yes.
No, but actually, I was speaking to someone,
and they're all very frightened of the funnel-web spider,
which I think if you--if you get bitten, you've got 20 minutes.
And so I moved to Melbourne, away from the sharks,
to Sydney, to the place where the kids in the neighborhood
used to collect funnel webs-- 'cause they live in sandstone--
and then we buy a little place in the country,
and there's an even more poisonous spider
called the Blue Mountain funnel-web,
and I think you've got about seven minutes
to get to the hospital.
I know, it's terrifying. - Wow.
- I was in western Australia
filming this television series years and years ago,
and there was a thing that looked like,
you know, a Christmas beetle, and I went up towards it,
and it reared up and went... [snarls]
[laughter] I mean, they are really--
I--I'm not just saying--
- Well, that was probably like a--
like a wolf or something, that probably--
It may not have been a spider. It may have been something else.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
- A dingo. - Yes, maybe.
[laughter]
Maybe it was a dingo.
We're back with Cate Blanchett.
Playing the wicked, evil stepmother in "Cinderella,"
which must have been a little fun, to play that.
- A big stretch for me. - Yeah.
- Big, big stretch. - Uh-huh.
- [giggles] - No, it would be fun to play
somebody like that, because, you know, you're not that.
- I'm not young and beautiful.
Well, there's--there was a funny moment, actually,
when I said to some friends that I was,
you know, in the live-action "Cinderella,"
and they had a very sort of awkward pause when they really
wanted to say "You're a little old, aren't you?"
It's a bit "What Happened to Baby Jane?", you know.
But, yeah, so, I didn't get offered that part.
- No, you played something el-- - I took what I could.
- You--no, you took a good part, but I'll tell you,
the clothing was beautiful,
but, man, that looked uncomfortable.
- It was--look, I didn't have it as bad as Lily did.
I mean, she was-- in the ball scene,
she's cinched where-- got a 17-inch waist.
She could barely breathe--
in this one-- and she and Richard
had about 100 layers of wool on, and they had to dance.
it was like--they're like Torvil and Dean on ice.
You know, it was really, really athletic.
- Wow. - And Helena had these dresses,
the--as the fairy godmother,
and she literally needed some guy to plug her in.
It was covered in LED lights, so...
It was a bit hard to eat, to go to the bathroom--
- Yeah, I was gonna say-- - To breathe.
- Anything-- - Other than that, it was fine.
- Other than that. But it's a beautiful thing
to look at, it's really fun.
You've worked with a lot of talented actors,
and I thought we'd play a game.
You've kissed a lot of people,
and we're going to show you lips, and we're gonna see--
- Oh, it's not asses, we're looking at lips.
- Yes. - Okay.
[laughter]
- Would--would you rather-- which do you identify with more?
[laughter] - We'll do--let's do the lips.
- All right, let's do the lips. - It's a family show.
- 'Cause we don't have a lot of photos of asses around here.
We don't-- - I don't know, you could get--
you could get some.
- Just have 'em on file.
Well, I will, after this.
[laughter] Clearly.
You want to see my P.A.'s asses. - Yeah.
[laughter]
- All right, let's take a look at the first lips.
Do you know who that is?
- Leo DiCaprio. - Is it?
- Yes!
- You are so right! [bell dings]
[cheers and applause]
- Do I get--do I get $10,000 if I win?
- Yes. And you'll go on vacation.
- Okay. - To Spice Island.
Um, who's that?
- Oh, that's George Clooney.
(woman off-stage) Alec Baldwin. - Is it?
- It is? - No, I don't think it is.
- Oh, my God, it's Alec Baldwin. [buzzer]
- I was gonna guess that. - You were?
Have you kissed him? - No, I have not kissed him.
- But have you kissed his ass? - Uh, no.
[laughter]
I have not. - Ooh, I'm not telling.
- Have you kissed his ass? - I'm not telling.
- All right. [laughter]
Let's see some other lips.
Hmm. - Who is that?
[laughter]
- Yep. [loud laughter]
[buzzer]
- Did I--did I kiss Owen?
- I'm not going to show you any more lips.
I'm scared what you're gonna say.
[laughter]
Um-- - That's Russell.
Is that Russell--I think you're right on that one.
I agree with you. [bell dings]
All right, so here-- I have a gift for you.
I have some Ellen underwear,
and my friends, my P.A.s, brought them to you.
Where are you guys?
[cheers and applause]
["Pony" by Ginuwine plays]
- Thank you. - [speaks indistinctly]
- Oh! Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
[laughter]
This is so nice!
- It goes with your stripe on your--
- It does! - It's fantastic.
[cheers and applause]
- It looks good 'cause it works with the yellow there.
See? Like that.
- Whoa. [cheers and applause]
- Yeah! - Whoo!
- "Cinderella" opens in theaters next Friday.
We'll be right back. Cate Blanchett.
