Ellen Pompeo’s Security Snafu

Ellen Pompeo and music exec husband Chris Ivery check-in at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The twosome caught a flight to NYC.

According to one paparazzo, Pompeo, 38, was told she did not have valid I.D. despite having two passports in her hand. However, the Grey’s Anatomy star was still able to get past security after speaking with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials. It certainly pays to be a celebrity!

Ellen and Chris celebrated their two-month wedding anniversary last Wednesday. Hey, two months is a very long time in Hollywood. Two weeks is becoming standard!

20+ pictures inside of Ellen Pompeo’s security snafu…

She looks better here than on Greys but she does look her age, if not older. I would put her at early 40s easily. Unfortunate face shape.

Thank you for the great Ellen pictures. I love that woman. I feel bad because it is her privacy being invaded, but I wish she would get out more. She appears to shun the press. What a knockout. Let her smile and giggle again on Greys.
