Ellen's Dancing Revival

From Katie Couric and Jim Carrey to Janet Jackson and Hugh Jackman, and even Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Sharon Stone and Ben Affleck -- it's a celebrity dancing parade on the set of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

We caught up with the dancing DeGeneres at the Creative Arts Emmys to get the meaning behind those Emmy-nominated moves. "I like music and I was kind of joking around when I was walking from the monologue mark to sitting down and I just decided to dance a little bit," she revealed. "Then it just got out of hand, and now the whole audience stands up and starts dancing. I can't stop."

So who does the hilarious host think is the best dancer she's had on the show? "Well Usher, he's a pretty good dancer, and Justin Timberlake is a pretty good dancer," she revealed.

"And that La Toya London who was just voted off of ‘American Idol' came on and did the booty slap which I appreciated because I tried to make that popular when I hosted the Grammys and it really didn't catch on the way I'd hoped," DeGeneres added. "So hopefully since La Toya did it, and I know she's got a lot of pull with the young kids, maybe the booty slap will come back."

Booty slap or not, it takes two to tango ­ and the stars are happy to hold court with TV's newest dancing queen.
