Wrong, and Right!
The Earth travels in a nearly perfect circular around the sun. The most interesting part of the article I was pulling this from was that despite many doomsayers, the planet could sustain a massive change in orbit (such as huge asteroids hitting us or other planets, throwing us into an elipse) and still be habitable. Bring it on!

That little difference in deviation from a circle leaves the Earth 3 million kilometers closer to the Sun at it's closest.
