Ellen DeGeneres celebrates her 50th with star-studded karaoke

January 26 2008

Ellen DeGeneresSome of the entertainment world's biggest names did a karaoke turn for comedian Ellen DeGeneres on her 50th birthday.

Stars including Victoria Beckham, Jake Gyllenhaal and Celine Dion belted out a version of Gloria Gaynor's seventies disco classic, 'I Will Survive'.

Supermodel Heidi Klum, actor Jamie Foxx and hotel heiress Paris Hilton also shook their stuff for the singing tribute.

All had been previous guests on the chat show.

DeGeneres could be seen laughing as she watched the pre-recorded segment.

Earlier in the show, producers played 'Happy Birthday' voicemail messages left by celebrities for DeGeneres - including Annie Lennox, the Spice Girls and TomĀ  Cruise, who left two messahes.

De Generes hits the landmark birthday on January 26.

The special episode was broadcast on January 25 - a Friday, as the Ellen show is not shown on a Saturday.

Dear Ellen,
Ever since I had a heart attack, I went to the gym and work out on the epiliptecal.
Ever since I work out in the gym, I watch your show.
Thanks you so much for helping me get through the work outs on days that I would rather have gone to a coffeeshop.
You are inspiring and uplifting and one day I would love to meet you and I wish I had something spectacular to add to your show.......alas, I help people sort out their psyche, not that spectacular
