Los Angeles:
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has predicted that pregnant actress Natalie Portman will have a baby girl, after performing a series of tests on the Black Swan star.
The newly-engaged mother-to-be appeared on the show yesterday to talk babies, pregnancy cravings and love.
The 29-year-old confessed she's "embarrassed" to be having the predictable cravings for pickles and tomato ketchup.
"I love pickles. I liked them before, though. Dill pickles. Anything with vinegar like ketchup, that's a vinegar food. I love that," she said.
DeGeneres then performed a series of tests on the Golden Globe winner to predict whether she is having a boy or a girl, with the result apparently being a girl.
Portman was asked to show her hands, whether her feet had been colder since she discovered she was expecting a baby, and then sat back as the comedienne held a string over her baby bump.
"Ok, this is like gypsy mode," laughed Portman "I'm not moving it," insisted DeGeneres, as the string began to swing left and then right.
"That's a girl, all three of those tests show a girl. You're having a girl and her name is Ellen," said the talkshow host.
She then presented the screen star with two tiny ballet outfits, one for a girl and one for a boy.
