Vivica Fox revealed she recently made up with her ex 50 Cent after their many Twitter beefs, all when she ran into him at the Knicks game the other night.  Watch her get emotional while telling Wendy Williams the story, plus she's already beefing with one of the strippers on her new show...

Vivica Fox made her way to the "Wendy Williams Show" Tuesday in a Roberto Cavalli suit, Helen Yarmak fur, Yves St Laurent shoes, and Stella McCartney bag.  She's good and ready for her promo run for her new Lifetime docuseries "Vivica's Black Magic."  Think Jada Pinkett Smith in Magic Mike 2.  Hmph!

After catching up with fans outside, the new 'stripper controller' dished about her latest run in with 50 Cent.  As we all know, the two exes do NOT get along and stay shading TF out of each other on social media.  But maybe the tide has turned.

Viv revealed to Wendy she happened to run into her rapper ex at Monday night's Knicks game.  She walked up to him -- not vice versa -- and wished him a happy New Year.  She said,"Because someone has to be the bigger person."

“I ran into him last night at the Knick’s Game.  I walked over to him and I said Happy New Year … I introduced myself and said hello to everyone. It was in private, so there were no fans, no camera, nothing…”

It is interesting, though, that she seemed like she was about to cry while telling the story saying: 

“I will always have love for him. As much as we’ve been through, I will always have love for him. He was literally my true love… I told him last night, I’ll always always love you, we’re not meant to be together but I will always have love for you.”

Check it:

 

Both Viv and 50 were courtside looking unfazed:

Chick is looking GOOD though.

By the way, she seems like she's already re0ignited a different beef...with her own dancer! While on Wendy, she said she doesn't fraternize with "the help" when asked if she ever had a fling with any of her exotic dancers on the show.  Her response to dancer Alvester when he called her out for it:

Just when we thought the beef between Soulja Boy & Chris Brown had come to a halt, Soulja Boy took his thirsty self to the hood to prove he still was about that life.  A gang proceeded to try get him shook in return.  Get it all inside...

Soulja Boy thought he still had his hood pass, but...maybe not so much.

After his ridiculous social media beef with Chris Brown Tuesday, he wanted to prove he could still have dudes shook.  So Soulja Boy Tell Em tried to walk up on some dudes in Compton and say wassup, and they pretty much jacked his ass...WHILE Soulja was live streaming on Instagram!

This video came out first:

 

 

Then this one from a different angle that shows what actually happened:

All this over a chick who couldn't care less about either of them?  Everybody must have time today....

Mariah Carey Legit Hit Up A Super Expensive Colorado Weed Dispensary On Christmas Eve....In A Gown

Oh Mariah.  You never cease to amaze us with your talents.  And by talents, we mean dropping major cash at a weed dispensary on Christmas Eve in a "gown and sunglasses" disguise.  See it all inside....

We knew there had to be something up with Mariah's New Year's Rockin' Eve performance debacle, more than just an alleged earpiece fail.  Now we've learned she made her way to one of the most expensive weed dispensaries ever in Colorado just days before her performance.

Recreational weed use (and purchasing of up to 1 ounce/transaction) is now legal in Colorado. Mariah has been spending the Holidays there every year for like, ever.  So when in Rome...

TMZ reports Mariah walked into a local pot shop called The Original Leaf more than once over the Christmas weekend.  Paps caught her entering one time in a green floor length gown, a ski hat and shades. (Check out the pic HERE.)

Reportedly, she bought a very popular strain called Amafu, which will set you back $400 an ounce!

Meanwhile, Jenny McCarthy let her HAVE IT during her podcast Tuesday. Jenny was one of the co-hosts for New Year's Rocking Eve, and once Mariah blamed Dick Clark Productions for the tragic fail that was her performance, Jenny spilled all the tea.

She said MiMi didn't actually do the sound check (she had a stand-in do the heavy lifting for her) and she simply doesn't have it anymore, yet she chose to sing the tough song "Emotions." Damn.

Kenya Moore Doubles Down On Her Gun Game, SHADES Phaedra & Sheree, Says She’s DONE With Matt

Kenya Moore stepped into the new clubhouse for an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” and she was her usual shady self.  Funny, but shady. Get all the juicy deets inside….

It was all about the barbies last night.  Your favorite reality 'bad girl' was on 1,000 last night.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore, rocking a gold DVF dress and Tom Ford shoes, made her way to the new and improved clubhouse to chop it up with Andy Cohen and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne. Ugh, we love Erika.

 photo kenw2.jpg

The former Miss USA dished on the situation where trespassers stepped on her doorstep resulting in her having to whip out her gun. She confirmed the gun she showed off on Instagram was loaded and that she’s licensed to carry in the state of Georgia.

“Listen, if some crazy MFs have the nerve. I have a gated property. They did so many things that were asking for it. Not only to be shot, but an a** whooping. They’re just lucky they didn’t get both. When you come on my property, I have the right to defend myself.”

With so much drama brewing between her co-stars Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks, you know Miss Moore had to give her 2 cents on the situation. You’ll recall, Phaedra claims Kandi has had threesomes with her friend Shamea and her husband Todd Tucker.

“One thing I know about Kandi, she’s one to tell the truth. She’s never one to lie. She didn’t lie about her pregnancy; she didn’t lie about phone calls to Cynthia. We’ve caught Phadra in several lies and Kandi has been truthful on the show from the beginning. “

Kenya went on to shade Phaedra saying, “She's like a slippery, greased pig.” Damn!

So does she believe something is going on between Kandi and Shamea? Nope. She did talk about Mr. Chocolate (Phaedra’s alleged fling) though.

For the preview of the next episode, we see Kenya’s man Matt causing some drama with people as he looks for Kenya at an event.

Kenya, by the way, confirmed she’s 100% done with him. Especially since he seemingly already has a new chick. Welp, there’s that!

Oh, and she also spilled some tea saying Sheree STILL has not moved into Chateau Sheree. Bloop!

The thing is, Wale called the conservative talk show host"Tammy" and not Tomi. Bloop!

The Hollywood hottie is fully embracing her new gray strands. And rightfully so. Chick STILL looks bomb.

The 38-year-old actress posted up a glam shot that shows off her gorgeous grays with a message about embracing the changes of her body.  She said, "Greys I see you, but guess what, that's okay. Because with grey hair, comes wisdom:)”

Soulja Boy Finally Comes To His Senses & Squashes Several Beefs, Reveals He’s Been Acting Out Due To His Mom’s Illness

Soulja Boy is throwing the white flag to squash his ongoing beefs with Chris Brown, Quavo, Lil Yachty,Shia Labeouf and whoever else he acted the fool with lately.  Check out his video apology and what Fabolous had to say about it all inside…

Over the last few months, Soulja Boy has been on some f*ck boi ish. The “Crank That” rapper has been involved in beefs with damn near everybody lately. He threw shots at actor Shia Labeouf (who raps), rapper Lil Yachty, Migos’ rapper Quavo and most recently, Chris Brown.

He’s been like a ticking time bomb, stirring up drama all over social media, which has caused him to getlocked up and jacked in the hood.

But now, he’s waving his white flag.

In a new Instagram video, the 26-year-old rapper reveals the reason he has been acting out lately is because his mother is ill. While doctors say she’s going to be OK, he seemingly is having a hard time dealing with her illness, which in turn, has caused him to act a fool. Does his mother being sick justify his actions? Nope! But, he now owns up to his mistakes and wants to call a truce.

In the clip, he says he wants to squash all the beefs and now wants to make music with Chris, Quavo and Lil Yachty. Interestingly, he didn’t make any mention of making music with Shia Labeouf.

Chance The Rapper Makes Up With Baby's Mother, Gets To Toss Parenting Court Docs + Family Beef Brewing Over Muhammad Ali’s Multi-Million Dollar Estate?

Chance The Rapper scored a victory in court that allows him to spend more time with his daughter Kensli. Now, he’s giving the first sneak peek at his baby girl. Flicks of baby Kensli inside, plus details surrounding drama brewing between Muhammad Ali’s kids and his widow inside…

 photo ckid1.png

Chance The Rapper keeps his personal life private. But, over the weekend, he took fans inside of his home sharing special moments with his 15-month-old daughter Kensli.

Recently, he posted the first pics and videos of his adorable baby girl. All of the baby cuteness comes amid some court drama with his daughter’s mother. But it’s good news this time.

The Chicago Tribune says Chance’s girlfriend, Kirsten Corley, withdrew her petition this week to set a parenting schedule with the Chicago rapper for care of their daughter. A parenting plan was put into place in June 2016, following Kensli Bennett’s birth in September 2015.

Three months later, Kirsten filed new paperwork since she and Chance stopped living together. It appears the couple hashed out their issues and are now back living together, so she threw out the petition.

Well good for them.

To celebrate, Chance has been busy sharing precious pics (like the one of Kensli meeting POTUS & FLOTUS when he was invited to the White House) and videos of her. Check it below:

In not-so-good news...

 photo aliwill.jpg

Uh-oh! Sounds like drama is brewing amongst Muhammad Ali’s nine children and his widow Lonnie Ali.

The legendary boxer’s multi-million dollar will has been finalized, and all hell is reportedly breaking loose.

According to The Mirror, Lonnie is allegedly receiving double what his children will receive from his $80 million estate.

A source tells the site,“Once the money is there, expect the biggest war yet.”

It’s being reported that Ali’s seven daughters and two sons will get $6 million each. It’s said the siblings aren’t fond Lonnie, but decided to call a truce in an effort to not risk their inheritance. Ali’s only sibling, a brother named Rahman, will get nothing.

Sheesh.

The source added:

“They all play nice-nicey now, but simmering tension goes back decades. None of the kids trust Lonnie, all are from different mothers and hate each other. Lonnie is said to get double what the kids have which has left many seething. They didn’t like her before their dad passed away accusing her of preventing them from seeing him."

“When he died, some sucked up to Lonnie just to get as much as they can, but the truth is that they all did it - then accused the other siblings of doing it.”

The source also said some of the children were pissed at the way their father’s funeral was handled.

“They were disgusted he wasn’t buried within 48 hours as the Koran states, and that Will Smith and Mike Tyson were pallbearers. Some of the children are appalled it was more about a celebrity list than his own flesh and blood.”

Damn.

An attorney for the Muhammad Ali Trust (which governs the distribution of his estate) said the will “was crafted to reflect his specific wishes and to protect his legacy.”

It’s said once everyone get their cut, they’ll be singing to the media how they really feel about Lonnie, the will and each other.

There's nothing like a death to bring out the family feuds...

SAP SUCKA: Charleston Shooter Dylann Roof Says He Has NO Regrets & He’s Not Mentally Ill

Dylann Roof, the thug who killed 9 black people in a Charleston church, says he has no remorse for the innocent people he killed and that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally. More inside…

Dylann Roof was convicted of fatally shooting 9 church members at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina in June 2015.

Today, he addressed the jury for the first time as they decide whether to give him the death penalty.

During his opening statement, he assured the jury there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he knew exactly what he was doing."There's nothing wrong with me psychologically," he said.

Speaking softly, he told them to forget everything his lawyers have argued during the course of the trial. He fired his leagal team and represented himself.

Journal entries written by the 22-year-old weeks after he was arrested reveal exactly how he feels about the mass shooting. He said it was “worth it” because of what he believes were wrongdoings made by the black community.

“Then I remember how I felt when I did these things, when I committed these murders, and how I knew I had to do something. And then I realized it was worth it.” he wrote.

He continued:

“I would like to make it crystal clear, I do not regret what I did. I am not sorry.”

Prosecutors used his journal writings as the main component to convince jurors that he deserves the death penalty.

Last month, the jury found him guilty of 33 federal counts of hate crimes resulting in death, obstruction of religion and firearms charges.

It only took the jury an hour to convict him of all 33 crimes, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he's sent to his death.

Can’t say many folks will be shedding any tears when he leaves this earth...

The San Antonio Spurs coyote mascot put on quite a show during last night’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

It appears Mimi’s tragic NYE performance is still making waves, not only in the headlines, but at sports games. Earlier this week, the Indiana Pacers debuted their “Lip Sync Cam” where they panned the camera on fans while playing Mariah’s “Emotions.”

Now, the Spurs are getting in on the action.

Decked out in a nude leotard and sparkly panty hose, the Spurs coyote took center stage to lip sync “Emotions” (the same song Mimi fumbled), before exiting stage left after experiencing microphone issues. The Spurs’ official Instagram account captioned the clip,“Something wrong with your mic, @spurscoyote?”

"Are you really going to marry this guy?" Bryan asks.

"Why?" Mariah replies. Bryan assures her he just wants her to be happy.

"I don't even know anymore," Mariah tells Bryan.

She concludes, "No matter what happens, I'm going to follow my heart."

Pastor Shirley Caesar just pissed off a whole bunch of folks.  She spoke at church tonight in full support of Kim Burrell, and now she's going viral for ish that has nothing to do with what she's cooking for Thanksgiving dinner....

 

Shirley Caesar pulled up at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden Wednesday night to do some guest pastoring alongside Marvin Sapp.

Then, she brought up the Kim Burrell anti-gay speech fiasco.  And she basically doubled down on the ish Kim said.

Shirley said from the pulpit, "You (Kim Burrell) should've said something 4 years ago when our President made that stuff alright."

Needless to say, folks are dragging her for filth.  And it looks like Pastor Shirley is about to get 'cancelled'.

Check te video below:

 

Good luck with that Shirley.  She performed her "Greens Beans Potatoes Tomatoes" song too...from the pulpit.

 

 

In other news, Kim Burrell's new radio show has been cancelled by Texas Southern University. The school ixnayed the show from their lineup after she launched the show just a few months ago.

"The Kim Burrell show is no longer airing as part of KTSU Radio programming," TSU said in a statement.

Looks like they're not here for her anti-gay language where she called homosexual acts perverted.

Kim was also dropped from her appearance on "Ellen" tomorrow.  But host Ellen Degeneres, is already letting the world know Pharrell will be on instead:

 

@Pharrell is here tomorrow to speak his mind about love, acceptance, inclusion and a whole lot more.

MAJOR UPSET! Serena Williams Explains 2nd Round Loss At ASB Classic, Venus Williams Withdraws Due To Injury

What an upset! Serena Williams has been eliminated in the ASB Classic tournament and we’re bummed about it. Meanwhile, her sister Venus Williams had to withdraw from the tournament due to an injury. Details inside…

Major upset in New Zealand!

 photo serlost2.jpg

Serena Williams’ stint at the ASB Classic was cut short on Wednesday after she lost her second-round match against fellow American Madison Brengle. The ending score:  6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4.  She said about the loss:

“I really think I played – I’m trying to think of a word that’s not obscene – but that’s how I played.  Eighty-eight unforced errors is too much, just way too many. It’s a lot. I can’t expect to win hitting that many errors.

The 22-Grand Slam champion told the media that the weather conditions had a lot to do with her performance.

“I would say it’s my least favorite conditions I’ve ever played in,” she said. “Again, my opponent played in the exact same conditions. She was able to adjust better than me. I really abhorred these conditions.”

 

 photo serlost3.jpg

The match was Serena’s 2nd match since taking four months off to nurse injuries after her semifinal loss at the U.S. Open in September. The tennis superstar is headed to Melbourne for the Australian Open, which kicks off January 16th, on a quest for to nab her 23rd Grand Slam title.

“I can take solace in the fact that the conditions won’t be like this in Melbourne,” Serena told reporters. “This is almost not a great opportunity to assess your game, to be honest.”

Hmm..wonder if her recent engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and all the good (and bad) hoopla around it took her head out of the game as well. Or was it just the super windy conditions?

Meanwhile, Serena’s sister Venus Williams had to withdraw from the tournament due to a right arm injury during her second-round match. Ugh!

Tommy Mottola Wants Ex-Wife Mariah To Fire Her Team & Get Off Reality TV + Mimi Allegedly CUTS TIES With Dancer Anthony Burrell

Mariah Carey’s ex-husband Tommy Mottola is speaking out about Mariah’s tragic NYE performance. And he’s throwing out words of advice to his ex-wife. In other Mariah news, it’s being reported she cut ties with creative director/dancer Anthony Burrell. Oh? Deets inside…

Yep, we’re still talking about Mariah Carey’s disastrous NYE performance.

Mariah’s ex-husband Tommy Mottala is coming to her defense after her failed New Year’s Eve performance due to technical difficulties. Kinda.  The former Sony Music CEO, who was accused of being overly controlling of Mariah's life and career, blames her management team and says everyone needs to leave Mariah Carey the hell alone!

"It could have happened to anyone and it has, so everyone should just get off her back and leave her the hell alone and hopefully she will find her way to the right professionals for guidance,” he tells PageSix. “It's never about the fall, it's all about the recovery."

He adds,

"Most certainly none of these issues or problems ever existed with her in her early days at Sony for the first 10 years when she skyrocketed to global superstardom!! Where absolutely meticulous and methodical attention was paid to every single detail and nuance that went on into her career!"

The music exec says Mariah needs to fire everyone on her team because the fact that they gave the greenlight for a reality show proves they have no idea what they’re doing. Hmph.

“My only advice is that she should hire more seasoned and respected professionals to surround her and help her with her career! I would never have encouraged her or guided her to do something like a reality television show!!!!! I don't get it!! That does absolutely nothing for her integrity, her credibility, or her massive talent!!"

We would have to agree with him on this one.

Mariah’s manager Stella Bulochnikov responded to Tommy’s comments saying, "Really? Tommy is a relic. Did he give you that statement from a rotary phone?"

That damn Stella...

While Mariah hasn’t let go of Stella (yet), she has let go of her creative director Anthony Burrell, who stars on her reality show “Mariah’s World.”

ET has learned that Mariah cut ties with her longtime creative director and tour choreographer."He's not being brought back [in 2017] for a number of reasons," a source told ET.

Apparently, Anthony moved MC’s back up singers during the NYE performance without permission from Mariah or her management team. He allegedly moved the singers off the stage for the live performance and put them at the base of the risers in order to make more room for the dancers.

Yet and still, those dancers were the best part of that performance...

So much for that apology and "I've seen the light" speech Soulja Boy gave yesterday.  He's right back at his petty antics, and now he's dragging Chris Brown's baby girl Royalty and her mother into it....

Soulja Boy just did the ultimate petty ish.  He went and dragged Chris Brown's daughter Royalty and baby's mother Nia Guzman into this messy beef

There were rumblings that Chris & Soulja would take their twitter beef to the boxing ring, and now it's confirmed. 

Soulja is apparently training with Floyd Mayweather, who is supposedly behind the match:

And he's got little Royalty and Nia on his team too.  Messy AF.

Nia happily posted a pic of Royalty after the visit while tagging Floyd and The Money Team

And Soulja happily re-posted it to throw in Chris' face.  Nia may not be the only ex of Chris' there.  Soulja said he invited Rihanna and Karrueche too:

So petty.

Chris confirmed the boxing match while blaming the public for "tuning into negativity."  Yes, the negativity HE voluntarily provided PUBLICLY.  GTFOH.

So will this end up on Pay Per View?    
 

 

There's a few people who are here for this match. 50 Cent and Metta World Peace chimed in saying:

Brandy is responding to rumors that say she can not STAND Beyonce after her friend/songwriter Tiyon "TC" Christian started airing out some dirty laundry on Twitter. Deets inside…

So there’s beef between Brandy and Beyonce? Not exactly.

It all started with a series of tweets (that have sense been deleted) by Brandy’s friend TC who blasted her on Twitter. He called “The Boy Is Mine” singer “spiteful” and said he’s tired of her playing victim when she’s involved in a celebrity feud.

"You want respect you give respect! But because you're a 'vocal Bible' it's ok to treat people like s**t",” he tweeted.

He also tweeted, “And let’s not get on the fact that someone was made because I took a picture with Beyonce…but let me shut up.”

Tea!

Read his full rant below:

While he took those tweets down, the tweet below still remains on his timeline:

 

The “Moesha” star and songwriter have now seemingly made up. Brandy posted a clip of them singing and gushed in the caption about how happy she is they talked it over and came to an understanding:

But, as you all know, the BeyHive is savage and has not let up on Brandy via social media. So, she decided to set the record straight recently and address the rumors.

Posting up a picture of Brandy and Beyonce Barbies standing side-by-side, Brandy wrote she will not let anyone defame her character and that she’s far from a Beyonce hater because she respects greatness. She went on to say that she has nothing but LOVE for Bey and her sister Solange, especially since Solo has always defended her and her music.

“I'm not afraid of truth. My doll @4everbarbiebrandy is taking a selfie with Bey's doll @barbiebeyoncelife --@saintrecords is always defending me and giving so much respect to my music. The music that is tucked in the heart of so many of my albums. To not love and respect Greatness would be a disgrace to my own gifts. I've been through soooooo much in my life so I'm not fearful of anyone's words or slander... it doesn't get any worse when someone has called you a..... I'll let everyone finish that... so this post isn't about dodging stings from the hive. This is about Truth. I love me some Bey and I love me some Solange.”

She ended on a positive note writing,

“Now I'm done with it. Gotta go journal, meditate, and write down my affirmations for this bomb ass day I'm about to have... love y'all”

 

Well, there you have it.

Details surrounding a brawl that broke out during actor/comedian Ricky Harris’ funeral are trickling in. And it’s being reported one of the late comedian’s cousins rolled up on Snoop Dogg during the funeral that resulted in fists being thrown. Get the latest inside…

Unfortunately, actor/comedian Ricky Harris couldn’t be laid to rest in peace because some folks were acting a pure donkey during the funeral. Comedienne Sherri Shepherd turned on her camera to inform the masses a fight had just broken out during Ricky’s funeral. She filmed the aftermath of the melee and said rapper Snoop Dogg was involved.

Now for the details.

It’s being reported an angry cousin of Ricky’s is the culprit. Several sources on the scene told TMZ Ricky’s cousin tried to square up with Snoop during the homegoing ceremony and called him a “b*tch a** n*gga” as he approached him.

He didn’t get far though. Snoop's homie/rapper Daz Dillinger and another person in Snoop’s crew (it’s unclear who the 2nd person is) got in the mix and that’s when fists began flying. Eventually, one of Snoop’s bodyguards dragged the cousin out of the church and the service went on.

Peep a clip of the madness below:

There were rumors floating around that a man named Big Flossy (who apparently has beef with Snoop) was the person who started the fight, but new reports claim he had nothing to do with it.

In case you missed, here’s Snoop’s response to the chaos:

He's unbothered by it all.

After the funeral, Snoop, his wife Shante Broadus, rapper Warren G and raptress Lady of Rage snapped flicks outside of the church:

VIDEO: Pharrell & Ellen Talk Kim Burrell, Prejudice & Acceptance + Janelle Monae's First Time Sit-Down With Ellen

Since Kim Burrell messed around and got disinvited from 'Ellen,' Pharrell Williams did the show without her today. And they talked about the latest drama. Janelle Monae also sat down with Ellen for the first time. Details inside....

Ellen and the Pharrell Williams spoke today about the importance of inclusion, and the values that make a world of difference.  It all stemmed from Kim Burrell's latest fiasco where she singled out "perverted homosexuals," talked ish about Eddie Long, and damned everybody to hell. 

Kim's judgmental words, whether she was "preaching from the word" or not, cost her an appearance on one of the biggest talk shows in the game, which is hosted by the openly gay Ellen Degeneres.

Interestingly, we hear she already has a chip on her shoulder because she doesn't feel she's gotten the mainstream due she deserves.  Well, if this latest mishap is any indication of how she operates her Hollywood relationships....

Pharrell, who wrote the entire Hidden Figures soundtrack, was originally scheduled to do perform his and Kim's duet "I See A Victory." 

Ellen said that since Kim said some "not nice" things about homosexuals, she didn't feel it was right to have her on her platform as Kim was, indirectly, talking about her.

Pharrell said, “There’s no space, there’s no room for any kind of prejudice in 2017 and moving on.” He continued saying this is a big and beautiful world, and it only works with diversity and inclusion. He said,"Live and let live, love and let love."

He went on:

“Whenever you hear some sort of hate speech and you feel like it doesn’t pertain to you because you may not have anything to do with that, all you got to do is put the word black in that sentence, or put gay in that sentence, or put transgender in that sentence, or put white in that sentence, and all of the sudden it starts to make sense to you,”

Ellen revealed that since she's been an oppressed person, she's more sensitive to others being oppressed and hurting others with words. Oddly, this didn't seem to be the case with Kim.

 

Also, Grammy-nominated singer and Hidden Figures star Janelle Monae sat down with Ellen for the first time to chat about her remarkable new film roles.
