Who's That With Ellen? | Tuesday, February 26, 2008 | 10:00 AM

Who's That With Ellen?

Answer: Ashton Kutcher.

In 1997, Ashton was a Biochemical Engineering Student at the University of Iowa and worked for General Mills sweeping Cheerio dust from the floor in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for $12 an hour.

Ashton’s fraternal twin brother, Michael, has cerebral palsy. Michael had an emergency heart transplant at the age of thirteen that was necessitated by cardiomyopathy, a virus-induced illness that weakened and perforated his heart muscle.

He has two toes on his left foot that are fused together, meaning they are webbed.

Ashton lost to Josh Duhamel in an IMTA modeling competition in 1997. Ashton signed with the Next modeling agency in New York, appeared in ads for Calvin Klein, modeled in Paris and Milan, and appeared in a Pizza Hut commercial before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

next: Presidential Polls

I am sure you hear this all the time. I think you are the most funny, giving, creative, energetic and loving person ever. I am going to make it a goal for this year to go to one of your shows.
Keep up the great work you do!

Hi Ellen, I think that was a very sad story about a young boy who die because he is gay. I have to sisters who are lesbians I LOVE them to death, because thats the live they choose. Friends who are gay-love them. I also have a beautiful host on TV who is lesbians, I like you so very much because you are beautiful inside and out. I dance every day with you, LAUGH AND CRY. You are the BEST of the BEST on TV.
WHAT THE FEBRUARY. LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS ALWAYS

I also have a daughter that was born with Cerebral Palsy and she is now 13 yo. The most important thing is exceptance and to reach as many sources and this helps the child move along and to get counseling if needed. God sent me an angel and knew I would take care of her.

Hello Ellen, I too would like to give you kudos for airing Senetor Hillary Clinton on your show, she does need all the support. A good place to start are from the kind of people that watches your show, which in my opinion are some of the most smart, inteligent and beautiful people I have ever seen.
I'am curious as to what you will be doing with Senator Obama on Thursday though? I love you Ellen I know you'll do the right thing, once again kudos.
one of your biggest fans,
Monica Moore

Dear Ellen, It was really nice of you to give senator Clinton one minute in your show. She really needs the support of women.
I would like to understand what is wrong with some women this days. Some just go with the crowd instead of being independent thinkers. And make their own research. Sadly, there are too many followers, and fewer leaders.
Blessings to you Ellen.

HELLO ELLEN,

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK EACH DAY. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE EVERYTHING WITH MY HUSBAND WHEN HE GETS HOME. YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT HERE IN SNOWY AND COLD WISCONSIN. LAUGHING WITH YOU AND THE GUESTS THAT YOU HAVE ON HELPS KEEP THE WINTER BLUES FROM GETTING SO BAD. SOME DAY I HOPE TO COME SEE A SHOW. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND WE LOVE YOU!

Dear Ellen,
You are by far the funniest and most enjoyable person to watch ever. I would do exactly what you do as an avid animal lover. I would use my fame and fortune to be around and help as many animals as possible. I love the shows with Jeff Corwin (yum). I would love to be able to enjoy all animals they way that you do. Lucky you. Continue your great show, you make me laugh everyday.

Greetings Ellen,
IT's your friendly neighborhood snow queen, The Groovy Chick from Alaska and I had to write and tell you what a lovely and inspirational person you are. Regarding Ashton Kutcher, he is like freakin' beyond ultimate awesomeness! I have cerebral palsy, as so does his brother, and I heard- correct me if I am wrong, that he helped pay for a major surgery for his brother during one of his first modeling gigs for Calvin Klein. What a wonderful man he is to do that so unselfishly to help his brother like that!?!?!? He is an amazing man! Plus it seems that he and Demi are a perfect fit for each other, as they are kind, intelligent and loving people, as I have observed in the entertainment news, and such. Plus, they are so darn cute together (reminds me of you and Portia)
I love you and your show so much! Thank you so dearly for putting such happiness and joy in these cluttered "airwaves". We need it :0)
Take care and all my best to Portia, Mama, and the animals!
Love,
Amber B.

Hi Ellen,
I enjoy watching your show and most importantly the dancing. I am from India and so get to watch the shows which are backdated. Please can you ensure that we get to see your latest shows? I really liked the episode where you gave away all 12 days giveaways to the contestant who won the game. It was really touche. I adore kids, hence am enjoying your shows with all the child prodigies. Keep up the good work and also your amazing sense of humour.
Regards,
Preethi.

Ellen,
I happen to be lucky enough to have a job where I play all day and even can come home early enough to enjoy the major part of the day. The best part is seeing 4 p.m. arrive so I can turn you on - t.v. (what did you think??) ;)
I started a while back fumbling through the channels and came across your show, I have been hooked ever since. I swear I laugh so hard and I have learned from past life experiences to laugh often.
I wanted you to know that my two cats Blackie and Mr. Pringles enjoy you too!! (I think) They sit and stare at you or at the t.v. and I think they are even smiling too!!
Thank you Ellen for making my day - everyday!!
Love you lots,

I just want to say thank you to Ellen for putting a smile on my face every morning when I watch your show, and my 10 month old Elijah dances when you dance and your theme song comes on. He stops everything he's doing JUST to bounce a little. It's so cute!
