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

Ok...So here I am standing in a well known un namable book store, drenched from the pouring rain getting a getting a book about a higher self. When wait hold on...I look over and "What the February is that on the self"? A grow your own Bonzi Potato...lol yea ok. Well at this point I am laughing so hard only wishing that Ellen could have been here with me. This is up there with the tiddy bear and the pet rock. Hey I missed my chance. My mom had lots of Bonzi Potatos when I was growing up. Hey mom sorry you really are inventive. Anyway...Ellen I may not know you personally but what I do see is a very funny, caring,sensative woman. Your kindness will be remembered by many.

Hi Ellen, it is a pleasure to watch you when I can. You are funny, a good dancer, and a wonderful host. You are also very generous. I'm 66, lost my wonderful husband to cancer in 2001. Keep up the good work. It makes me feel good when you give something away to someone. Brenda

Hi, Ellen

My name is Thomas and i wach your show every

Hi, Ellen (as if you really read these, right), I used to be an Oprah guy but switched over to you years ago and stayed. I love the dancing and the ordinary people that you bring on your show. I'm a resident of San Francisco with lots of time on my hands (on disability). I have pictures of the largest mushrooms you will ever see and I will send them to you when I get them scanned, you won't believe your pretty little blue eyes.

wow - webbed toes are apparently more common than I thought. First: my roommate from college; then my brother-in-law; and now Ashton Kucher. And I thought that Labrador Retrievers were the only mammals with webbed feet.

I luv and am in love with you Ellen! Call me! (said in the voice of Herbert from "Family Guy")

Ellen,
I forgot to mention that I too like Ashton have webbed toes. However, mine are on both feet, my middle toes. At birth the doctor wanted to cut them apart, however, my mother refused because she too had the same webbed toes.
Perhaps Ashton and I are related???????

Hi Ellen,
I watch you show often and always have a blast! You are truly a remarkable individual. You have a heart of gold. You share your wealth with many, especially with those in need, and for this I personally thank you. Keep making us laugh and uplifting our lives. God bless you.

Hey there Ellen

My name is Tiggi Powell and im a 17 year old Aussie who just adores ur show. The other day i was watching your show and literally nearly peed my pants with laughter and had to leave the room. I cant exactly remember what you were doing that was making me laugh but the whole show had me in stiches. I hope to get to America one day to see your show, that would just be like "oh my god my world is complete" haha. i wanted to go last year but i would have been a bit to sick with an eating disorder i had, but now that im all better i plan on coming and seeing your show one some time this year, YAY.
Sooooo, hopefully i'll be in your audience soon peeing myself with laughter instead of in my loungeroom. lol

Keep up the good work champ.

Luv Tiggi xxxxx :)

Keep up the good work

I will add to Laurie's (from Chicago)posting and say for a long time you have been a bright spot in my day! Over the years it's been off and on I've been able to watch you. But recently, in the present, I rarely miss because of this reason.
And I don't think you just have the gift of humor or think that is your best asset (even though you are good at it)! hmmm.....I think I'm sounding a bit like you- your comedy routines AND the bad part is I'm NOT meaning to! BUT i think your best asset is your generosity to especially the everyday person and mankind in general. I feel God gave you the name de Generous because you truly are that. Thank you. Robbie

Hi Ellen, Wow, how I love you and your show. It is the best. I love the month of February. It is my month . I was born on the 13th. of Feb. I was married on the 2nd. of Feb. and I love Valentines Day. My husband thinks it is never going to end for him I'm sure. ( he is such a sweetheart, he has made my life the best it can be). My dream is to come out and see your show and you in person sometime. That would be so so good. Maybe I should plan to come out in February sometime, since I love that month. Could I come next year 2009? My February would be complete for the rest of my life then. Also it would be my 60th. birthday next year, I was hoping to do something special and that would be the ultimate Birthday. Ellen, I've watched you on TV since your sitcom, which I thought was brilliant. I hope you are going to be around for a long time.You bring such joy. Your attitude and caring ways toward people is unbeatable. I wish you all the best, I love your mama too. She reminds me of my own mother. My mom always made me so happy, I see that special relationship between you and your mom. Ellen you take care, P.S. Ashton Kutcher does'nt need anything.His hair and face are perfect. I live one hour from where he is from so I think he is great, since we are both Iowans.
