Britney Spears
Despite all the negativity around Ellen right now, we have to take a moment to remember the good times too. Remember Britney Spears’ debut interview on the show back in 2004? Spears’ life was incredibly chaotic at the time and DeGeneres just wanted to give her a few minutes to relax.

So, instead of treating it like an interview, the two lay down on the carpet and hung out. They also did some workouts but it was the break Spears needed back then. Come to think of it, it was incredibly sweet of Ellen to make the popstar feel at ease like she did.
