Along with wife Portia de Rossi, DeGeneres hasn't done the challenge, which promotes research for ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's disease). Now, Just Jared revealed on Wednesday that DeGeneres is planning to do the challenge on her TV talk show season premiere next week.
DeGeneres is even planning to have on Internet sensation Anthony Carbajal on her show, whose own ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video went viral after he showed people what it is really like to live with the disease. He also challenged DeGeneres, along with celebs such as Justin Bieber.
In lighter news, DeGeneres was also on Tuesday's finale of E!'s Chelsea Lately. Although de Rossi was missing, her wife Ellen DeGeneres had a skit on the end of Chelsea Handler's talk show.
In the hilarious skit, DeGeneres approaches (wearing a shower cap) a naked Handler in the shower about why she has never been on her show before. DeGeneres even asks if it's because she's a lesbian. Handler jokes that she's also a lesbian and lives with a lesbian. Handler also says she's been "binge watching" DeGeneres' sitcom.
Other celebrities who made hilarious cameos on Handler's finale included Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston and Avril Lavigne.
DeGeneres' talk show will return on September 8.
