Good Samaritan

The talk-show host brought a local Chicago woman to her show after her generosity toward a homeless woman went viral. DeGeneres was so inspired by the story and told the crowd how she admired the woman’s giving ways so much that she wanted to give her own Ed by Ellen boots away. “I thought I would give you my shoes. They’re your size exactly. We’re the same size,” said DeGeneres. “And I always keep my money in it, so I have $10,000.”

The talk-show host stepped up her sneaker game last season and rocked a pair of tan Yeezy Boost 350s and a bomber jacket. DeGeneres invited a group of guests on stage for a messy game that involved throwing paint. With some valuable footwear on, DeGeneres knew not to go anywhere near them. “I’m staying right here because I’ve got my Kanye Yeezy shoes on and I’m not going over there!” she said.
