KNIT WIT DEPT.: Who’s more generous than ELLEN DEGENERES when she hears a hard-luck story?
Just last year, the top-rated talker was so touched by the plight of a homeless teen that she leaned on one of her TV sponsors to kick in $50,000 to fund a scholarship – but here’s the latest: Ms. Chatterbox befriended a homeless lady in Santa Monica after spotting her sitting on a box knitting, complimented her handiwork and promised: “I’ll send over one of my assistants to buy some of your stuff!”
The lady abruptly started sobbing and told Ellen: “People say that all the time!”
That made warmhearted Ellen “feel awful,” revealed a pal. “She had a lunch date, but quickly called her assistant over to buy up everything the woman had.”
