Arguably the most beloved celebrity in Hollywood celebrates a birthday today.

Seriously, who doesn’t adore Ellen DeGeneres?!? 

Except, you know, bigoted pastors who dislike homosexuals.

The comedian and talk show host is now 57 years old, an occasion we’d have to imagine she’ll celebrate with long-time wife Portia de Rossi.

DeGeneres has done nearly everything in the entertainment world. She’s starred on a sitcom. She’s judged American Idol. She’s hosted the Academy Awards. She’s hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards.

She’s even about to premiere a new series on HGTV.

She nearly broke the Internet by anchoring the most popular selfie of all-time.

She also hosts a daily talk show in which she sits down with fellow celebrities, from musicians to actors to athletes and everything in between. 

And she dances. Does Ellen DeGeneres ever dance?!?

So, in honor of the star’s big day, let’s do what Ellen espouses on a constant basis: Laugh. Dance. Live. Just laugh and dance and live, people.
