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 50^th ‘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.
