"Kristen Bell has revealed that she cried when she found out her fianc\u00C3\u00A9 Dax Shepard was getting her a sloth for her birthday. The voice behind Gossip Girl revealed how much she loves the animals on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (January 31), confessing that she had a meltdown when one was presented to her.  Bell told Ellen DeGeneres that she began to weep even before she came into contact with the creature. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been obsessed with sloths for as long as I can remember. They must be my spirit animal or something,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nothing cuter than a baby sloth... OK, maybe a slow Loris. Maybe. On a good day.&amp;quot; The House of Lies star even appeared to get emotional as she retold the story and home video footage played on a large screen. &amp;quot;The day of my birthday, we&amp;#039;re sitting in the living room and I hear a knock at the door,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;[Dax] says, &amp;#039;Your present is here. Why don&amp;#039;t you go grab the dogs and go in the back room?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;I had no context for knowing what it was, but I grabbed the dogs and walk into the back room of the house and I was immediately overcome and I thought, &amp;#039;There&amp;#039;s a sloth near. There&amp;#039;s a sloth here; it&amp;#039;s close; it&amp;#039;s going to happen&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Kristen Bell: &amp;#039;Dax Shepard and I are hillbillies&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Kristen Bell: &amp;#039;I love my therapist&amp;#039; Watch Kristen Bell on The Ellen DeGeneres Show:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
