You and Portia grew up near each other in Australia.

- In the same country. - Yeah--in the same country.

[laughter]

- There's not many of us.

- Did you see each other often?

- Yeah, "Hello!" - Yeah.

- Yeah, in the same-- - No, you were in Melbourne.

Right? - Yeah, that's right.

- And then you moved to Sydney. - Yes.

Away from the spiders, the sharks, the snakes.

- Aren't they everywhere?

There really are the most deadly spiders and snakes anywhere--

- Well, no, we have more deadly snakes than people, actually,

so it is, you know.

But there--I was talking to someone earlier--

- She doesn't mean by "deadly people,"

she means by--just "people."

- We have a lot of deadly people too.

- Yes, but more snakes.

- I can't--look, I still can't-- It's a year later

and I still can't string a sentence together.

- [laughs] - Yes.

No, but actually, I was speaking to someone,

and they're all very frightened of the funnel-web spider,

which I think if you--if you get bitten, you've got 20 minutes.

And so I moved to Melbourne, away from the sharks,

to Sydney, to the place where the kids in the neighborhood

used to collect funnel webs-- 'cause they live in sandstone--

and then we buy a little place in the country,

and there's an even more poisonous spider

called the Blue Mountain funnel-web,

and I think you've got about seven minutes

to get to the hospital.

I know, it's terrifying. - Wow.

- I was in western Australia

filming this television series years and years ago,

and there was a thing that looked like,

you know, a Christmas beetle, and I went up towards it,

and it reared up and went... [snarls]

[laughter] I mean, they are really--

I--I'm not just saying--

- Well, that was probably like a--

like a wolf or something, that probably--

It may not have been a spider. It may have been something else.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

- A dingo. - Yes, maybe.

[laughter]

Maybe it was a dingo.

We're back with Cate Blanchett.

Playing the wicked, evil stepmother in "Cinderella,"

which must have been a little fun, to play that.

- A big stretch for me. - Yeah.

- Big, big stretch. - Uh-huh.

- [giggles] - No, it would be fun to play

somebody like that, because, you know, you're not that.

- I'm not young and beautiful.

Well, there's--there was a funny moment, actually,

when I said to some friends that I was,

you know, in the live-action "Cinderella,"

and they had a very sort of awkward pause when they really

wanted to say "You're a little old, aren't you?"

It's a bit "What Happened to Baby Jane?", you know.

But, yeah, so, I didn't get offered that part.

- No, you played something el-- - I took what I could.

- You--no, you took a good part, but I'll tell you,

the clothing was beautiful,

but, man, that looked uncomfortable.

- It was--look, I didn't have it as bad as Lily did.

I mean, she was-- in the ball scene,

she's cinched where-- got a 17-inch waist.

She could barely breathe--

in this one-- and she and Richard

had about 100 layers of wool on, and they had to dance.

it was like--they're like Torvil and Dean on ice.

You know, it was really, really athletic.

- Wow. - And Helena had these dresses,

the--as the fairy godmother,

and she literally needed some guy to plug her in.

It was covered in LED lights, so...

It was a bit hard to eat, to go to the bathroom--

- Yeah, I was gonna say-- - To breathe.

- Anything-- - Other than that, it was fine.

- Other than that. But it's a beautiful thing

to look at, it's really fun.

You've worked with a lot of talented actors,

and I thought we'd play a game.

You've kissed a lot of people,

and we're going to show you lips, and we're gonna see--

- Oh, it's not asses, we're looking at lips.

- Yes. - Okay.

[laughter]

- Would--would you rather-- which do you identify with more?

[laughter] - We'll do--let's do the lips.

- All right, let's do the lips. - It's a family show.

- 'Cause we don't have a lot of photos of asses around here.

We don't-- - I don't know, you could get--

you could get some.

- Just have 'em on file.

Well, I will, after this.

[laughter] Clearly.

You want to see my P.A.'s asses. - Yeah.

[laughter]

- All right, let's take a look at the first lips.

Do you know who that is?

- Leo DiCaprio. - Is it?

- Yes!

- You are so right! [bell dings]

[cheers and applause]

- Do I get--do I get $10,000 if I win?

- Yes. And you'll go on vacation.

- Okay. - To Spice Island.

Um, who's that?

- Oh, that's George Clooney.

(woman off-stage) Alec Baldwin. - Is it?

- It is? - No, I don't think it is.

- Oh, my God, it's Alec Baldwin. [buzzer]

- I was gonna guess that. - You were?

Have you kissed him? - No, I have not kissed him.

- But have you kissed his ass? - Uh, no.

[laughter]

I have not. - Ooh, I'm not telling.

- Have you kissed his ass? - I'm not telling.

- All right. [laughter]

Let's see some other lips.

Hmm. - Who is that?

[laughter]

- Yep. [loud laughter]

[buzzer]

- Did I--did I kiss Owen?

- I'm not going to show you any more lips.

I'm scared what you're gonna say.

[laughter]

Um-- - That's Russell.

Is that Russell--I think you're right on that one.

I agree with you. [bell dings]

All right, so here-- I have a gift for you.

I have some Ellen underwear,

and my friends, my P.A.s, brought them to you.

Where are you guys?

[cheers and applause]

["Pony" by Ginuwine plays]

- Thank you. - [speaks indistinctly]

- Oh! Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

[laughter]

This is so nice!

- It goes with your stripe on your--

- It does! - It's fantastic.

[cheers and applause]

- It looks good 'cause it works with the yellow there.

See? Like that.

- Whoa. [cheers and applause]

- Yeah! - Whoo!

- "Cinderella" opens in theaters next Friday.

We'll be right back. Cate Blanchett.
