Ellen plans lie detector test for bragging Brittany

Comic-turned-chat show host Ellen DeGeneres is considering dragging Brittany Murphy and her mother onto her hit programme to give them a lie detector test about the actress' early speech skills.

Guests like Sharon Stone and Christina Ricci have poured scorn on Murphy's claims that she could talk at four months old, and now DeGeneres is keen to help the actress prove she's not lying.
