full size STILL: Melanie Moore and Ellen DeGeneres Bust a Move

Ellen DeGeneres isn’t shy when it comes to expressing her adoration for FOX’s hit show So You Think You Can Dance. Nor does she hold back when it comes to busting out some moves of her own. All of this makes her that much more endearing and one of our fave SYTYCD celebrity guest judges.

Today, the comedian and TV talk show host turns 54 and she’s having a extra spectacular birthday show! Jimmy Kimmel will co-host and special guests will include Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and musical group Earth, Wind, and Fire.

According to Ellen, the cast and crew has been planning some birthday surprises. “My staff isn't looking me in the eye. They don't want to let on to my birthday surprises. Either that or I have poppy seeds in my teeth.” If not the poppy seeds, then could one of the surprises be a special performance by SYTYCD dancers?

Tune in today at 3pm EST to find out! Check your local listings for the station information.

From all of us at Wetpaint Entertainment, happiest of birthdays to one of the funniest ladies we know!
