The model.

the runway model. ellen dumbs it down by not wearing the belt.
definitely Ellen!!!
The runaway model doesn’t put the dress in value, Ellen gives it a great dimension, specially her boobs!!!!
Ellen has great tastes in fashion, there is no need to ask why she’s invited at all this great fashion’s events!!!

ELLEN and points plus for the boobs!!!! She’s sexy….
ellen
Ellen fills the dress and she’s definitely sexy!!!!
Bump Ellen
Ellen is stunning
ok WOW! simply..
Ellen id STUNNING! GORGEOUS! … i am lost for words…
did she put on some weight?? she looks AMAZING!
thanks JJ
I can’t believe she’s 38, she looks so much younger!!!
She’s stunning, Chris is handsome in this tux, they are my favourite black and with couple!!!
They are glamour!!!
She’s wow, the more I see of her the more I find her sexy!!!
can I say neither?
Perfect hair, perfect make up, perfect dress, perfect cleavage, perfect legs, just PERFECT!!!
Totally glam!!!!
Oh the shoes are perfect too, well not as much as Ellen but perfect!!!
Ellen! She looks perfect.
MODEL although Ellen looks decent for a change & not her usual fashion disaster.
I love that she is EVERYWHERE at the moment, attending shows for free clothes.
So much for keeping out of the limelight !!! She’s a mediawhore !!!
Def. Ellen, she looks gorgeous in that dress!
Ellen has an unfortunate face that looks like a steamroller has run over it. And the dyed blonde hair washes her out, she looked better as a brunette.
Otherwise she looks better than normal. The dress is a improved choice than her normal event wear.
just one word OMG! wow……ellen looks absolutely stunnibg! beautiful. WOW!
HJ her hair sylist sure knows what suits her. perfect just gorgeous.
thks jared
I like Ellen, but I agree that she looked better with brunette hair, she looks very pale & washed out here & older than her 38 years.
And I have to agree that she does love the limelight at these shows. I like the girl, but she definitely ain’t media-shy as her fans claim she is !! Free clothes for media pics.
“And I have to agree that she does love the limelight at these shows. I like the girl, but she definitely ain’t media-shy as her fans claim she is”
shes media shy about her personal life she aint pimping for money her wedding or bridal party to the highest bidder like other stars but she’ll dress up for an event.
i was waiting when the bashing will start. pete you are a soryy excuse for a human being, tell us why you and the others care to always comment on this woman when you definately hate her so much? you haters can just do yourself a favour and choose not to read or comment on anything to do with her. thks you. oh and thks jared you are the best.
the model
~33 - Carla - she won’t pimp out her marriage because she’s a hypocrite & doesn’t believe in marriage or Church weddings, despite the fact she’s married herself.
She’s also married to a convicted felon, so she would be MAD to pimp her wedding anyway - after Punked she obviously has been advised to keep quiet. Why attract attention to a felon ?
It’s great that she attends all these events for the FREE clothes. If that isn’t selling out I don’t know what is !!
LOL @ her husband’s head being cut off the maim picture !
AMAZING! definitely Ellen.
OMG she looks GORGEOUS. LOVE HER.. this lady knows how to do it.
thanks JJ
ellen of cause, she looks great. so what if she loves the limelight? she is an actress for god’s sake and every once in a while it doesnt hurt to be in the limelight.
why dont you losers BACK THE HELL OFF? thk you.
Curious - this isn’t a fansite !!
People can hate who they like. If you want to gush about her, find another site.
This site is for people to comment on celeb appearances. If a celeb puts themselves in the public eye then they have to take the comments - good & bad. Their fans too !!
Definitely Ellen!! She fills it out and looks gorgeous! The model looks like a skeleton, and doesn’t look as happy wearing it!!
Here come the bashing…. I was waiting for it!!!
Totally sad!!!
Anyway keep going with it because bad or good opinion, she makes react about her, and that what mags and paps run after famous who make react !!! So continue because with your bad comments and her fans support, we’re going to see her a lot! Thank you!!!
And by the way Ellen wear the dress better and blond hair suit her more than the dark hair which made her fade!!!
ELLEN for sure. she is very very beautiful.
stunning actress.
That’s Ellen Pompeo?
When I first glanced at the pictures, I thought that was Renee Zellwegger!
Model.
Ellen has the worst skin EVER.
And HMM - Ellen fans always say she is a very private person who doesn’t court the media & yet here she is having pics taken in order to bag a free dress. Double standards.
STUNNING! SIMPLY STUNNING ELLEN.
I LOOOOOOOVE HER. SHE LOOKS AMAZING AND HAPPY AND GLOWING. YOU GO GIRL!
ALWAYS STEALING THE LIMELIGHT…
THANKS JJ
She’s a poor man’s Renee Zellweger only famous for a role on a trashy soap opera. Bet she’s envying Katherine Heigl’s movie career.
WOW this is one HOT SEXY lady.
jeeeeez what was I missing.. i’m watching grey’s from now on.
Model.
By a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG way
Ellen. for sure! she’s sexy. ..very sexy.
Ellen wore it better, but it looks good on the runway model too.
Ellen does look curvier in that dress, don’t you think?
Bwahaha, I effing love all those haters who really take their precious time to post something nasty about Pompeo everytime jared post a new pic of hers. Go on, continue what your doing, jared is the one earning some bucks from the hits on this site. I just hope you all won’t suffer from myocardial infarction aka heart attack from all those hate you have towards a certain person.
She looks OK.
She’s very plain & ordinary though. No beauty that’s for sure.
And people are free to express their opinions, if you don’t like it, find another forum.
I love how Ellen fans ***** about other cast members like Katherine Heigl when they are pictured running errands as mediawhores, but when Ellen turns up to pimp herself for free clothes, they love the pics & all the attention. The word HYPOCRITE springs to mind.
helen,
of course you have the right to comment, i simply dont see why you or any other happy and normal human being will be so hash, its uncalled for. You simply dont have to comment period. Ellen is a human being and is far from perfect, but she does the best she could and definately seems to be happy with her life, so what is the issue here? the fact that she evoke so much emotions from all you haters says alot.
ellen rocked it
I’m a big fan of Ellen, and I like the fact that she keeps her private life private, she doesn’t put it ahead,she doesn’t open her mouth to say stupid comments…
She intends events where she’s INVITED (and she had been at only 3 things recently so I don’t find that being too public) , all the actors, famous people go at this thing, and fortunately for her fan she goes otherwise we wouldn’t see her.
LOVE HER! How does she do it. flawless every time.
she looks absolutely stunning! thank you justjared.
to JARED,
It’s not logical (and fair) to compare a star to a model on the runway or vs.
The model wears the outfit in the way the designer wishes so.
Wow!! Ellen’s looking beautiful. Totally stunning!!
#53 - Curious - I didn’t even bash the woman, I simply said what this site is about.
If you want to gush, go find a fan site to dissect the pics.
People can post what they like. End of.
ELLEN POMPEO without a doubt. she wears it perfectly.
look at her, she’s gorgeous. such a classy elegant beautiful lady.
Chris looks handsome as well. gorgeous couple. love them

Here come the bashing…. I was waiting for it!!!
Totally sad!!!
Anyway keep going with it because bad or good opinion, she makes react about her, and that what mags and paps run after famous who make react !!! So continue because with your bad comments and her fans support, we’re going to see her a lot! Thank you!!!
Linda, I agree with you, keep going haters, thanks to you and her basefans, we will get more pics of her!!!
And by the way Ellen wear the dress better and blond hair suit her more than the dark hair which made her fade!!!
Ellen looks gorgeous. That dress looks amazing on her.
Mediterranean, what you said might not be fair but they all do it all the time. i always find it prettier on the stars because they look a little more human than the models.
#55 Carry - did you miss Ellen’s episode of Punked ?
As someone who works in PR, I know that any PR worth their salt would have advised Ellen to keep her mouth shut after that incident. That was bad PR if ever there was any ! The ABC PR dept rightly have advised her to keep a low profile.
And she is bound to keep her private life private - she would be in Britney Spears territory if she talked about her convicted Felon. Even she isn’t that dumb !!
I love how all you Ellen fans are loving the bashing cos you think it translates to more pics.
LOL - you are the same people who claim to like her because she keeps herself to herself & yet you’re salivating over new pics !! Like an earlier poster said - hypocrites much ?
Model. Girl is fugly. Squashed face & whinnnnnnnnnnnnnnny voice. No wonder she rarely opens her trap.
GORGEOUS. Ellen for sure! love her
down to earth caring beautiful adorable… and one amazing actress.
she is looking flawless.
can’t wait for the show to be back on, she is melting hearts here…
thank you jj.
Hello people, it’s a private runaway, people are here to see, buy, drink, eat and have fun!!!! They don’t get free clothes and I knows that because I work for Chloé’s designer and this kind of event are more for the show and the marketing!!!
You can always reproach her to come for the free food and drink, we all know that she can’t afford it!!!! AHAHAHAHAH
Ellen definitely does honour to Armani’ work and I know what I say!!!
What a load of bullshit John. She was invited as a PR exercise along with countless other celebs. Pimp yourself for the paps & get the free dress. I work in fashion PR & it’s common policy.
She looks good, although the model is prettier.
helen,
so sorry about that.
as for the rest of the haters, may God grant you your wishes so that you will be happy people.
love her dress!! she looks great!
Grey’s Fans! Please check this out!

When it’s not about her husband, it’s about her physique or the confusion that some have with the personality of her character or about pun’k…
She said it, she knew that she was tricked, even Ashton said it and do you really think that she would have sign for it to be release otherwise!!!
And I loved how she react with the waitress, I would have done the same, Would you really some girl hit on you boyfriend and not react?
If yes, you’re stupid!!!
Ellen’s hot!! She gained weight in all the right places
hot but too white. she needs a fake and bake
KEEP GOING PEOPLE WITH THE BACK AND FORTH, WE’LL SOON HIT THE 100 COMMENTS!!!!
BUMP ELLEN, THE DRESS SUIT YOU DELICIOUSLY : )
hot but she needs a fake and bake. too white looking
Ellen definitely does honor to Armani’ work, for sure….
STUNNING. Loving all the Ellen pictures we’re getting.
love her.
Ellen is such a beautiful person inside out. she is worth admiring and looking up to. love you Ellen.
thanks jj
hey everyone, I didn’t know Ellen’s husband was a music executive! What records has he produced? I would love to purchase them. Any thoughts? Does anyone know the recording company he works for?
Wow, Ellen has the coolest life! She was in Europe at Christmas time-that’s why she couldn’t go to KH’s wedding and now she’s in Paris for a fashion show! I want to be Ellen! This silly strike agrees with her. I used to like Kate Walsh, but all she’s been doing on her time off is work on Obama’s campain, and support some children’s charity thingy-something about art in schools-borrring if you ask me. I’d take a fashion show in Paris over my civic responsibilities any day!
ELLEN hands down. this is one gorgeous lady. the dress is sexy and she is SMOKIN HOT here…. in all the right places as well. she keeps getting prettier and prettier and amazingly younger looking every time I see her.
I saw her once in LA. in a premiere. a group of us tarted calling her name, we were a bit far from the red carpet but we couldn’t get closer, we kept on screaming and to our surprise and JOY she came over. chatted with us signed autographs and took pictures with my friends. I don’t watch the show much, not as much as they do. But she has to be one of the nicest cutest most adorable people i have ever met. you really want to just hug her. I have been a fan ever since.
Cheers JustJared. More Ellen I say.
I LOVE ELLEN.
OMG! SHE LOOKS AMAZING! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU JJ. MADE MY DAY.
i saw her, she was stunning! i love her
SOPHIE… thats amazing, tell us about it please, how was it and all the details. I love those things
and I adore Ellen!
DEFINETLY…
THE MODEL!!!!
toss up for me
Ellen Pompeo for sure. sexy. and gorgeous.
#78, I’m a huge fan of KW, KH, EP and SO!!!
What KW is doing is great and very civic, EP also support Obama, she intends the meeting that Oprah organised and support him financially even if it’s not as actively than KW but anyone support how he/she thinks can!!!
And during Christmas she was with her family in NY and we all know KH was ok with that!!!
And EP support a lot charity’s association and she’s very active in the foundation that her sister Maureen runs!!!
It’s not fair to bash EP in order to make KW shine, all this women are great, they support their politics convictions, use their name to support charities things and they intend events, even KW!!!

ELLEN! she rocks the dress. I bet she stole the show here as well.
she is beyond stunning and flawless. this is one hot sexy gorgeous lady. Chris looks cool and elegant. love this couple. thanks JJ. more Ellen please
nicely said playmate. they are all friends and support each other. as we should be.
(and for the note only, EP threw a huge part for KH before the wedding.)
sorry for the triple posts
just want to thank SOPHIE for the link. and I LOVE YOUR PICS. you are soo lucky. 
#86-explain how I was bashing EP? I even said I want her life. How is that bashing? I’m even asking for names of records her husband has produced so I could purchase them to support EP. How am I making Kate Walsh shine? I said she does boring things with her time off. How come your angry? I didn’t realize I was such a bad fan. I won’t ever post about EP again.
Haters, hate on, entitled to your opinion but don’t have to be so nasty, jealousy is an ugly trait.
You can’t deny she looks absolutely stunning. I think she looks better than the model and her smile is real.
Thanks for posting these pics.
#91, I like how you’re playing dumb, it’s really funny, anyway, I also would like to be EP, she’s kind, simple and she profits of life and she has to play love scene with PD, I’m very envious, and I say that because I really think it, you on the other hand, sarcasm is going to kill you!!!
ELLEN is simply DIVINE! love her. thanks jj.
model.
Ellen Pompeo. sexy.
Ellen looks beautiful and glowing. she really looks great.
thank you JJ. I love Ellen and Meredith Grey.
ELLEN ROCKS THIS DRESS!
GO ELLIEEEEEEEEEE!
ewwwwwwwww ugly flat face
wow she needs to lay of the botax
Ellen, definitely, wears it better! Beautiful!!
she looks good
CHECK OUT HER PICTURES HERE.. WOW WOW WOW!
http://wtlfan.livejournal.com/
she’s so good on grey’s anatomy http://brangelinawatch.blogspot.com
She sure is. I love Meredith Grey.
she looks really beautiful in real life, even more beautiful than on the pics, it’s wierd :s
I believe that sophie. everyone who meets her says the same thing.
ELLEN hands down. looks flawless. from head to toe. Chris looks real nice.thanks for the pics.
You’re right Sophie, she more beautiful in real, and very kind, I meet her last summer in NY, and Icouldn’t take my eyes off of her, and and could stp saying haow beautiful she was and haow much I lover, she’s very great, even her husband!
Wow…she never seizes to amaze me…I absolutely adore the dress…and she looks gorgeous in it.
Ellen looks a lot better here than she has in awhile.
The model, Ms. as the leg length of a normal person, and unassuming personality that will always do disservice to to couture.
Ellen looks much better in it. Don’t care fo the belt. Plain looks much more elegant.
Ellen is STUNNING! love her. thanks justjared. keep them coming.
wow this thread is FAST! 
Ellen sure is hot.
the model looks prettier with the belt and do not say I’m bashing Ellen. She looks pretty too. I am giving my opinion as Jared requested. I just think the model looks prettier.
i would have liked the belt if it was a different color actually.
but I still think I would go with the no belt the way Ellen did it. simple with the dress makes it stand out I think.
I wonder what she’ll wear to the SAGs this Sunday.. Chanel or Armani? I think it will be Armani.
Ellen looks great! She has been too thin in the past, but she looks svelte and voluptuous simultaneously! Makes you wonder what the model’s BMI really is….
ellen is a ugly person inside and out
Aw, Ellen looks cute, I like the dress, and her hair…
Ellen. The model looks like death is knocking on her door. Sorry, but God her anorexic body does not look good with that dress.
Ellen, she looks amazing in the dress.
Is her hair really short now, it looks really good and so cute.
She definatly wins hands down, she rocks the outfit.
ELLEN MOST DEFINITELY! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuck.
God, she’s given on the Renee Zellweger vibe. Please try not to become manikin like in your looks and dye your hair back to a darker shade.
She wears the dress better due to the better bosom.
giving out*
she looks great….. i think she gained some pounds…
i love the dress and her shoes…
ELLEN is stunning! WOW hands down .. this woman is gorgeous inside out. thanks JJ
Ellen looks FANTASTIC!
ELLEN is sooo beautiful wow!! thanks JJ love her. best actress. i miss meredith grey.
definitely ellen.
SOOOOO happy to see she’s put on a bit of weight. She looks so much better and that dress is stunning on her.
Ellen is beautiful!
Ellen looks like a 60 years old lady! Definitely needs the belt…
I like the dress on Eleen much more, it looks better without the belt. http://arabaquarius.blogspot.com/
Ellen for sure….. and I disagree with #134 I think Ellen looks so much younger than even 38. She looks stunning! thanks JJ
>>I’m even asking for names of records her husband has produced
If you find names, please tell me, I’m looking for those names for…ever p
Ellen wears it better. Don’t like the red middle on model’s dress.
Ellen wears it a better than the model, she looks more glamorous and elegant in that dress. She looks really gorgeous! I love her milky skin. It suits her greyish-green eyes and blonde hair. I definitely wanna see more Ellen picutures in the future JJ!!!
it just amazes me the maturity level on here sometimes, there really must be the most perfect, most beautiful people that post on this comment board i think, otherwise they really would not have room for such crude judgment. giving an opinion and attacking someone are 2 different things. first, punked, she knew what was going on, ashton admitted she did, she played it up, and as for the “pr” person on here, if her pr person was so upset with what happened he/she wouldn’t have asked her to keep her mouth shut after that, she wouldn’t have let the film be signed and released for viewing in the first place. if ellen really felt that it was something that would mar her image, she wouldn’t have released it. and as well, mariska hargitay, dita von teese and hilary swank must be media whores out to just get a free dress, since none of them can afford it.
as for her “felon” husband, you must all be perfect. so people with records should not be allowed a second chance, if that is the case then al pacino, jane fonda, larry king, tim allen, jennifer capriati, robert downey jr, hugh grant, andy ****, matthew mcconaghey, and Jay-Z, just to name a few, should be shunned for life as well. it frankly endears her to me more that she looks past his past indiscrections.
Ellen looks AMAZING, and believe me, as a huge fan, sometimes i think she looks a mess, but she honestly looks gorgeous.
so, instead of acting like 12 year olds, why don’t we all try to post our opinions in a less bitter, hateful manner. don’t mean to sound harsh, but come on guys. there are actors that i really don’t like, but i don’t physically go out looking for stories about them so i can bash them as if they were not real people.
Ellen Pompeo!
love Ellen. always.
None. The dress doesn’t even fit the model and it’s probably the light but it doesn’t look good on Ellen at all. Ellen fills it out properly though. But the contrast of the empire belt with the dress really works for the model.
Ellen definitely!!!
Ellen all the way! She is perfection in that picture. Thats what she needs to wear when she goes out with someone other than McAss. (Derek, not the hubby)
