Britney Murphy and Eric Idle were recently guests on an episode of the popular talk show, The Ellen Degeneres Show. The episode was filled with laughter and entertaining banter between the host and her celebrity guests. During the show, Britney Murphy revealed a surprising fact about herself – she didn’t have a driver’s license. She explained that she never got around to it because she was living in New York for most of her life. However, she mentioned that she would be learning to drive soon because she needed a license for an upcoming film she would be shooting in London.
The conversation then turned to Britney’s latest movie, Sin City, which opened at number one in the box office. She described it as a cinematic extravaganza and predicted that it would be a part of film history. She expressed her pride in being a part of such a cool movie and working with talented directors like Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller, and Quentin Tarantino.
Later in the show, Ellen brought up the topic of Britney’s claim that she started speaking at an unusually early age. Britney insisted that she spoke her first word, “bubble,” at four and a half months old. Her mother and aunt called in as witnesses and testified that not only did Britney say her first word at that age, but she also said a total of ten words that same day. However, a pediatrician, Dr. Bob Sears, also called in as an expert witness and explained that while some babies can mimic sounds they hear, speaking actual words at such a young age is highly uncommon.
To settle the matter, Ellen decided to appeal to the viewing audience. She asked for parents with babies less than six months old who are speaking real words to send in video evidence along with their baby’s birth certificate. This would provide more substantial evidence to help determine if Britney’s claim was valid.
In the end, Ellen stated that she would review the evidence and make a decision. Until then, she jokingly put Britney under house arrest, playfully attaching an ankle bracelet to her. Despite the debate about Britney’s early language development, it was clear that she brought a lively energy to the show and entertained the audience with her wit and charm.
Overall, it was an entertaining episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, filled with laughter, celebrity interviews, and a lighthearted dispute over Britney Murphy‘s claim of speaking at an early age.
