    You almost got me!

    Seriously. You had me going to Yahoo to check if this was legitimate. And DeGeneres is famous for her non-sequitur humor (which I think, in her early career, was used to distract people and herself from her sexual preference).

    Once you've seen the lame makeover of "Universe of Energy" at Disney's EPCOT, with an animatronic Ellen waving a palm frond to keep a dinosaur at bay, you believe she would do anything for an oblique joke. And yes, I admit I watched the video to see "her" topless...but that's what gave it away, finally. Not even a Wonder Bra could make Gunnar look like that with clothes on.
