Jessica Alba is expecting a baby girl, according to talk show host Ellen Degeneres' mystic prediction.

The eight months pregnant actress has found out the sex of her unborn baby, but is refusing to reveal it to the world - even after DeGeneres grilled her on her talk show on Friday.

So DeGeneres held a wedding ring tied to some string over Alba's palm, following a traditional method of predicting the sex of babies. When the ring moved in a circular motion, the comedian announced to an unflinching Alba, "It's going in a circle, which means it's a girl. And her name shall be Ellen - if you haven't picked one out already."
