Ellen Does Hilarious 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Parody

The recently released Fifty Shades of Grey trailer sent hearts aflutter the world over when it launched last week.

Apparently Ellen took note, because she features in an hilarious take-off of the film in a segment on her show.

"I'm so happy to see I got the lead role in Fifty Shades of Grey," Ellen starts. "They're acting like it's Dakota Johnson, but it's actually me."

The scene then cuts to a smouldering Jamie Doran, who plays the infamous Mr Grey, standing over who we think is Dakota Johnson facing away from the camera.

"I'd like to see your face," says Mr Grey, to which Ellen turns around wearing a brunette wig and a friendly grin.

The audience is in hysterics as Ellen navigates each scene with her trademark humour, which is hilarious in comparison to a very serious Jamie Doran.

Jets scream overhead and soldiers drop down into gun turrets - outside Russia's military base in Syria
The Russians have been permanently based here since 2017, propping up the Assad regime and overseeing the war against their many opponents. For now, though, what we do know, is that Russian convoys are withdrawing from bases across Syria and are heading for the Mediterranean Coast. On a dusty road near the main Russian entrance to Hmeimim air base near Latakia, I could see a convoy of Russian military vehicles trundling their way past the Russian-named shops.

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made clear years ago he wanted Donald Trump to pick an FBI director who was “beyond reproach.” Now, in light of Trump’s choice of Kash Patel, his words have come to haunt him. The senator was faced with his past remarks on Sunday’s Meet the Press when moderator Kristen Welker played back his 2017 comments (conveniently, also on Meet the Press) while discussing Patel, a Trump pick that has made his name out of promises to weaponize the government to prosecute anti-Trump
