  • Meghan Trainor Talks Hemorrhaging Vocal Cords in First Post-Surgery Interview

    Meghan Trainor was recently sidelined by a vocal cord injury, and she recently spoke to Ellen DeGeneres in her first post-surgery interview.

    “I was on tour, and I was on top of the world, and I had everything, and then I went to rehearsals for another tour I was going on … and I noticed right away that it hurt to speak,” Trainor told Ellen.

    “And I know like, that can’t be good – when it hurts to speak. So I tried doing rehearsals and I went to some random doctor I could find close by and he saw hemorrhaging, which is when your little tiny vocal cords bleed – which is not the best.”

    Trainor says the doctor gave her two options – stop talking for four months to heal, or have surgery.

    She opted for surgery, and it still left her with two weeks of recovery time. During that time, Trainor says she mostly used texting and social media to communicate. She also used a handy text-to-speech app.

    “I had an app that texts to speech, so you can type in stuff and you can speak like a robot,” she said.

    And all that social media use led to some artistic inspiration. An Instagram romance was the spark behind her now song, “Lead Me On”.

    “There was a guy that I Instragrammed and I didn’t put a caption, so the whole world freaked out, AKA all my Megatrons. All the fans were like, ‘What is this?’” said Trainor. “It was just a little nothing. Nothing. But I did get a great song out of it.”

    Check out her first post-surgery interview below:

    Trainor also performed with John Legend.

  • Drew Barrymore Deals With Body Image, Will Bare Soul to Daughters

    Drew Barrymore Deals With Body Image, Will Bare Soul to Daughters

    Drew Barrymore is radiant at 40. She still struggles a bit with her body image, but seems to be coming to terms with it. In the latest issue of InStyle magazine, Drew opens up about her body, her daughters, and more.

    “I am who I am and I just don’t have a bikini body. I don’t even have a one piece body anymore! But I am loving the long rash guard, board-shorts look,” she says.

    “I’ve beaten myself up about not being a certain thing,” Barrymore adds. “If someone says, ‘Let’s go to the beach today,’ my first thought is, ‘F––, what am I going to wear?’ I remember when Amy Schumer was on Ellen, she called her midsection a ‘lava lamp.’ I thought, ‘That was perfect! That’s what I’ve been trying to say.’ But then I saw her in Trainwreck, and she looked so good in a tiny bra and short skirt. I was like, ‘No, you don’t have a lava lamp.’”

    Realizing there are far more important things to deal with than what she wears to the beach, Drew Barrymore has an honest philosophy for dealing with daughters Frankie and Olive as they grow up.

    “I’m not going to pretend to my daughters that I’m pure as the driven snow… The best I can do is open up my heart to them,” she says. “That’s soul-baring enough. Making bad decisions doesn’t make you a bad person. It is how you learn to make better choices.”

    Drew Barrymore was a film star by the time she was eight. Given what she has learned about what Hollywood can do to women in terms of body image and self-worth, it will be interesting to see if she allows her daughters to follow in their famous mom’s footsteps.

    Do you recall seeing Drew Barrymore in ET all those years ago?

  • Keira Knightley: Her Husband Is Drinking For Two

    Keira Knightley is not having that much fun this awards season.

    Keira Knightley should be really enjoying this time as her movie, The Imitation Game, is up for several awards.

    Apart from several awards for the movie, Keira Knightley is in the race for best supporting actress.

    Despite all the fun of the awards season and the general festivity of it all, Keira Knightly is being left out. Since she’s pregnant, she is having to pass up all of the alcohol that everyone else gets to enjoy.

    Especially her husband, James Righton.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOcpvFLA3tw

    Keira Knightley was on Ellen Tuesday to talk about how her life is going.

    During the interview, she disclosed that her hubby is drinking for two as she is eating for two.

    Knightley said, “There’s a lot of free champagne so he thinks because I’m not drinking the free champagne he has to. So all of it.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70vpzPjcOoQ

    When Keira Knightley asked Ellen if she wanted to make a guess as to what she is having, Ellen guessed boy.

    That guess sparked a very interesting story from Keira Knightley that she heard while receiving some unsolicited advice.

    She said, “Somebody said to me the other day the problem with boys is, sorry this is horrible, but when you’re changing their nappies you can get the wee in your face.”

    She added, “I’ve got a lot of people nodding at me, but I never knew that before so it was terrifying.”

    Keira Knightley admitted that the whole thing sounds like a fiasco waiting to happen.

    She said, “And apparently they roll as well so you have to like try to stop them while you’re trying to grab something else in order to stop them peeing in your face. So that’s sounds quite interesting.”

    Keira Kngihtley will soon be aware that the whole thing is one “interesting” mishap after another!

    What do you think of Keira Knightley’s diaper fears?

  • Kat Dennings Shares Her Celebrity Crush With Ellen

    Almost everyone has a celebrity crush, and believe it or not, some celebrities get crushes on other celebrities as well.

    Kat Dennings recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and shared her celebrity crush with the world.

    Dennings said that she is a huge fan of Kim Kardashian and thinks she is just beautiful.

    Dennings is one of the stars of 2 Broke Girls. When Kardashian made an appearance on the show’s 80th episode, Dennings said that she was so excited to meet Kim that she was almost at a loss for words when it happened.

    “I didn’t know what to expect because she’s so famous,” Dennings recalled. “I was very nervous because I’ve seen so many episodes, and she was very sweet. She was very nice. And her a** is amazing! I am feminism, girl power, but I was just so in love with her a**. I just spit talking about it — that’s how passionate I feel!”

    Dennings went on to say that she couldn’t tell Kim how she felt about her or her butt when the two stars were face to face so she just introduced herself and made small talk instead.

    “We would say a nice thing or two, talk about friends we know or people we have in common, and then she would turn around and Beth and I would [mouth], ‘Oh, my God!’ It’s beautiful. She’s gorgeous. It’s just amazing. I’ve never seen an a** like that in my life.”

    Dennings recalled an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Kanye commented on Kim’s butt and said that she felt the same way.

    “Kanye was there and he was like, ‘I have never seen an a** like that.’ And that’s what I was thinking!” Dennings admitted.

    “And yet he got to her first. You just missed out on that one,” DeGeneres quipped.

    “Such is my luck!” Dennings said jokingly.

    Well it’s safe to say that Kim knows Dennings is a fan now.

  • Chelsea Handler Talks Nude Scenes With Ellen

    Chelsea Handler has proven that she will say and do anything in the name of comedy and to get some laughs, but although she appears to not have a problem doing nude scenes, she recently admitted that they are a little more difficult than what she lets on.

    Chelsea recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and talked about being naked on camera and in front of the world.

    “The last time I saw you, you were — well you were naked,” DeGeneres said to Chelsea on the show.

    Chelsea went on to explain what Ellen was talking about.

    “I texted Ellen. I said, ‘I’d like you to do something with me in a shower naked for my last episode of my last show,’” Handler explained. “And she said, ‘okay maybe.’ The agreement was you were gonna come up and you were gonna be nude. And I was gonna be nude.”

    Chelsea has been getting naked on television a lot lately and on her recent standup special, Uganda Be Kidding Me, she shared several nude photos of herself.

    She explained her decision to start getting naked and said that it has nothing to do with being conceded or overly confident.

    “I like to be naked because I don’t take my body seriously,” Chelsea admitted. “People do, and that’s nice for them, but I think bodies are so silly.”

    She also admitted that she is proud of her breasts and does enjoy showing them off from time to time.

    “I like to take them out whenever I can, and be like, ‘Hey look! Pretend this is my whole face!’” Chelsea said, laughing.

    What do you think of Chelsea Handler’s attitude towards being nude on camera.

  • Selena Gomez Talks Self Improvement With Ellen

    Selena Gomez may seem like she has it all together, but she recently told Ellen that there is still room for improvement in her life and that she is always trying to better herself.

    She also admitted that part of her self improvement includes finding who she really is.

    She even rated herself on a scale of one to ten on how good she is at improving herself.

    “I’m a seven,” she told Ellen. “People tend to forget. They’re like, ‘Be yourself, be yourself,’ and I’m still trying to figure out who that is. I know I’m not perfect but I know that I have a lot of people who support me and love me and, I don’t know, I don’t want to let anyone down. So I just try to be the best I can be.”

    Selena has had a big year full of ups and downs but she said one of the biggest changes in her life came when she bought her first home and moved out of her mom’s house.

    “I can like, walk around naked and stuff,” she joked to Ellen.

    She also said that even though she doesn’t live with her mother anymore, the two are still very close. Her mom calls to check on her even more often now she admitted, but she said she is happy to be on her own for the first time.

    “Honestly, I just enjoy not being able to have to check in all the time. My mom is the sweetest ever, so even now she checks in on me. She’s like, ‘I see online you’re here. Are you OK?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m fine, mom, I promise!’ But I think that’s just the best thing, being able to go into my own space,” she said.

    Selena isn’t all alone in her new home, she said that she does have a roommate, one of her childhood friends from Texas.

  • Wendy Williams Show Back for New Season in 1st Place

    The Wendy Williams Show is back for a brand new season–its sixth–and has earned the coveted top spot in the daytime talk show demographic of women in the ages 25 to 54 bracket. Way to go, Wendy. That’s quite an honor, seeing as how she beat out shows like Ellen, Dr. Phil, and Live! With Kelly and Michael. Madam Noire reports the show has seen a fifty percent increase in ratings since season five.

    The Wendy Williams Show distributors, Mort Marcu and Ira Bernstein–also co-presidents of Debmar-Mercury–issued a statement to the media regarding the show’s success.

    “This is an amazing accomplishment. To have the No. 1 show in the category most important to advertisers, a record-setting household performance and phenomenal year-to-year growth is astounding. It is a lasting testament to Wendy, their fantastic team and the many stations across the country that have believed so strongly in Wendy. We couldn’t be more thrilled,” the statement read.

    App.com says of Wendy Williams, “She keeps her fingers on the pulse of celebs, from the Kardashians to Chris Brown. Last October, she said she’d eat crow if Kim Kardashian and Kanye West actually got married and stayed together longer than the 72 days Kardashian was previously wed to basketball player Kris Humphries.”

    “I am a woman of my word,” said Williams during a conference call with the press last week. “I stopped at a red light. I was driving the other day and looked to my left and saw a crow crossing the street. I said, ‘Oh my gosh, they are so small. They have very little meat.’”

    In recent days the Wendy Williams Show has hyped viewers–and the press–by Wendy’s revelation that she has been treated in the past by the same doctor who performed the throat procedure on Joan Rivers–the one that ultimately cost the comedienne her life. Williams saw the doctor last summer.

    Wendy Williams assured her fans that Gwen Korovin–the doctor in the Joan Rivers case–didn’t have to operate on her.

    “Thank god!” she added.

    Even more interesting, however, is this.

    “She doesn’t take insurance! Believe me, I gagged about that. Fortunately, because I went to see her on TV time, TV paid for it. Although, that special was a Wendy Williams production so somehow, I paid for it!” the talk show host said.

    Are you a fan of the Wendy Williams Show? Does it surprise you that she has beat out Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, and Dr. Oz for the daytime women’s 25 to 54-year-old age bracket?

    Best wishes to Wendy Williams as she embarks on what will no doubt be a highly successful sixth season of her show.

  • Eva Mendes & Ryan Gosling: The Baby Has Arrived

    On Friday actress Eva Mendes gave birth to a baby girl in Los Angeles, according to Us Weekly. She and her boyfriend, actor Ryan Gosling, had kept the pregnancy under wraps despite rumors circulating that they were indeed expecting a child.

    Mendes and Gosling are reportedly thrilled to have the baby with them and both shed tears when they met her for the first time, according to an insider that spoke to E! News. “It was very emotional for Eva and Ryan. They were both in tears when they saw their daughter for the first time!” the source said.

    “She’s so good with kids and has been wanting this a really long time. When she found out she was having a girl, she was freaking out. She kind of wanted a girl deep down, but of course just wants a happy and healthy baby! Ryan is saying he is going to be overpowered with girls in the house and is gonna have to be extra manly around the house!” added the insider.

    Mendes and Gosling were extremely private about the pregnancy, and the 40-year-old star of Hitch even denied that she was pregnant on Ellen in February, when she was already a few weeks along. “It all started because I didn’t want to go through the scanners at the airport,” she said on the show. She explained at the time that she would always opt out of that part of security checks. However, in July, rumors centered on her pregnancy swirled again.

    Sources tell E! News that the new mother keeps telling friends and family “how in love she is” with her daughter, and many are saying the baby has Mendes’ features, according to a source.

    “They are both so happy and in love. They wanted to start a family for a while now,” said the source of Mendes and Gosling, who have been dating since 2011.

  • Channing Tatum Faces His Biggest Fear On ‘Ellen’

    Channing Tatum has played a tough guy in several films including White House Down and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but the hunky actor still has some very bizarre fears.

    While making an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, September 10, Channing revealed what those fears are.

    He first told Ellen that he would be scared to have to sing in a movie, and later shared his worst fear … porcelain dolls!

    “In real life, I’m terrified of porcelain dolls,” Channing told Ellen.

    Obviously intrigued, Ellen had to press him on the issue as to why he was scared of dolls, to which Channing explained, “There was a TV show, it was Friday the 13th, there was a possessed porcelain doll.”

    “I just think they’re really super freaky,” the Magic Mike star added. “They have like real eyes and they look real. I just imagine when I walk by them, their heads turn with you the whole time.”

    That is when he realized that DeGeneres had a mischievous look on her face. “Tell me you do not have a doll here,” Tatum said.

    Of course that is what she had, and she made the former male model conquer his fear. Check out what happens in the video below:

  • Ellen DeGeneres Kicks Off 12th Season, Marriage With Portia de Rossi Saved

    Ellen DeGeneres certainly has a lot to be grateful for. Her daytime talk show is set to kick off its twelfth season on Monday, September 8th–and even more importantly, her marriage with Portia de Rossi has reportedly been salvaged. This doesn’t mean everything is going perfectly for the talk show host and comedienne, but Radar Online does report that the two are ‘doing much better.’

    Ellen and Portia just returned from a European vacation and Ellen is excited to get back to work. Her first show will feature the new–and old–coaches on The Voice. She will be joined by not only Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, but new coaches Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams as well.

    “Towards the end of last season everything was really taking a toll on her,” a source told Radar Online, referring to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “While Portia was in treatment and everyone was predicting that they were getting a divorce, it was really hard. But thankfully, all of that has passed.”

    “Ellen says that she will be with Portia forever and that she puts her wife before anything, even her career,” the source added.

    The two recently celebrated their sixth anniversary, with a beautiful message in the sky.

    Will Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi eventually create a ‘baby makes three’ scenario? Rumor has it Portia wants to have a child.

    “All Portia can talk about is beginning a new chapter in their lives and starting a family,” a source reportedly told InTouch magazine.

    A baby for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi would definitely be big news for Ellen’s TV show. Just imagine how excited the audiences would be. Can you imagine the Mother’s Day show that would follow such an announcement? Ellen would likely outdo Oprah Winfrey in TV giveaways by giving away a wealth of baby items.

    Hopefully things truly are fine for Ellen and Portia and that if they decide a child is in the cards for them that this new facet of their lives serves to prove emotionally enriching and joyful. Fans are no doubt beyond thrilled about a new season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Perhaps they will find the host well-rested and renewed since things are so much better with her marriage.

  • Mother’s Day Flowers Are Passe, Weird Gifts Are In

    When Mother’s Day comes around every year, it seems everyone has advice on what to do or give.

    This year, the consensus is in: flowers are boring.

    The internet has spoken: Vacations! Spas! Eating out! Do anything but just giving flowers! Fox business reported that moms wants spa treatments and nice meals more than flowers.

    ABC covered several companies offering freebies for moms tomorrow. Redbox will give you a whooping 50 cents off. Hooters will give you a free entree with any purchased drink. Go to a TCBY and get a frozen yogurt. The list is quite long.

    Chances are, if you go anywhere out on Mother’s Day, there will be some kind of deal to take advantage of. So either plan out your day before hand and check for deals online, or just ask when you get there. What manager isn’t going to give your mom a deal on Mother’s Day?

    Many shoppers like to wait until the last minute for the best deals. The Augusta Chronicle interviewed one shopper, Breanna Harris, who was looking for a gift on Friday: “She likes shirts, so I normally try to get her one of those. I got her shoes last year, so I was trying to get her something different this year.” Mother’s Day sales are expected to total $19.9 billion.

    Like Ellen, Humorist Bill Mann gave a list of unconventional gifts including Catfood-scented soap, Combination walk-in tub and washing machine, and a gag flower that squirts water. Perhaps most bizarre on the list is the “Aren’t you glad you had us kids?” calender:

    “This unique gift sure to lift Mom’s spirits features a photo of a different infertile couple for each month. Sure, you and your sibs may have made your hard-working Mom’s life a living hell at times (and maybe still do), but this ‘egg-citing’ gift will provide some much-needed, loving perspective for your long-suffering mother.”

    Hmm… Maybe flowers aren’t such a bad idea after all.

  • Olsen Twins Appear In Rare Interview On Ellen

    The Olsen twins made their way to fame playing Michelle Tanner on Full House back in the 80s. After that, they became the idols of millions of young girls around the world with the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen films.

    While they became a very recognizable duo, since their early teenage years, Mary-Kate and Ashley have steered away from acting and have moved on to the fashion world.

    It is very rare that they do television appearances, but they did decide to visit Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show Ellen to talk about their new fragrances from their Elizabeth and James collection, currently available at Sephora.

    “Our brand is about duality and we wanted to be able to offer options,” Mary-Kate explained about the reason they decided to put out two fragrances at once.

    While there, Ellen took the opportunity to play a simple questions and answers game with the girls. She handed them both paddles and asked them a series of questions such as, who is the funniest, and who is the best singer. The girls then would flip the paddle to the name that fit the question best.

    They agreed that Mary-Kate is the better dancer, but revealed that neither of them could sing. “I don’t think we’re very good,” Ashley said. “This one it’s both bad,” Mary-Kate added.

    The girls also revealed that they still get mixed up, and people have a hard time telling them apart. “‘Are you Mary or Kate?’ or ‘Are you Mary-Kate and Ashley?” Ashley said of some of the questions she has been asked. “I’m one of ’em!”

  • Lindsay Lohan Talks Rehab, Jail Time On “Ellen”

    Lindsay Lohan has been in the news quite a bit lately, between her new docu-series on OWN and the recent sex-list she released to the world which was chock full of famous names, but in the interviews she’s given as part of the promotional blitz for the show, the troubled actress has been a lot more grounded than many thought she could be. In a recent sit-down with Ellen, Lohan spoke candidly about having to go to rehab and what it meant for her jail sentence.

    “In the past — a lot of people don’t know this, but — I was sent to rehab to avoid them trying to put me in jail, so it wasn’t necessarily something that I wanted or was ready for,” she says. “It was something that was kind of just going with the motions.”

    Lohan got a stern talking-to from Oprah in one episode of the docu-series, which included the media mogul telling the actress to “cut the bullshit” after she started not showing up for filming. But now, she says, she doesn’t put herself into situations that will turn out badly for her because she’s already seen them all.

    “It’s totally different now,” she said. “It’s strange. I also don’t put myself in the same situations. There’s nothing left for me in going out to a certain place if I know what it’s going to result in. It’s just not worth it to me.”

  • George Lopez Jokes About Public Intoxication Arrest

    After George Lopez was arrested last month for public intoxication in a Canadian casino, the comedian and actor discussed the incident on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Lopez was found passed out on the floor of the Caesars Windsor Hotel and Casino and was released a few hours after his arrest. Lopez won’t be facing any charges in the incident.

    Even though Lopez’s arrest probably serves as a bit of a wake up call, since the Saint George star claims he is giving up drinking, he still manages to find humor in the rather serious situation. “Apparently I’m a bigger Justin Bieber fan than I thought I was,” the comedian joked to Ellen. “They always say, ‘Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,’ but whatever happens in Canada, everybody knows.”

    In case you missed it, the picture below shows George Lopez passed out at the casino. As Lopez quipped to Ellen, he was heading back to his room, but “missed it by 35 floors.”

    “Just because Mexicans invented tequila doesn’t mean we can handle it,” Lopez said on being found passed out in the floor.

    “I was a bit intoxicated,” Lopez told Ellen and then quipped, “[The Canadian police] said ‘Sir, this behavior cannot continue, and if it does continue, we would be honored if you would be mayor of Toronto.’” In case you don’t keep up with Canadian happenings, Lopez is making a joke about Rob Ford, the Toronto mayor who was caught smoking crack on camera last year.

    All jokes aside, Lopez did say that he hasn’t had anything to drink since the arrest. “Since then I have not had a drop of alcohol,” Lopez said. “That was a nice going-away party for that guy, and then I’m the new George now sitting here in front of you.”

    Check out Lopez’s appearance on Ellen below.

    While some folks are undoubtedly wagging their fingers at Lopez’s indiscretion, actor Charlie Sheen decided to poke fun at the comedian for doing a crappy job of passing out. George Lopez did a guest spot on Sheen’s Anger Management, and in a short video clip obtained by TMZ, Sheen shows Lopez how to pass out properly on the set. Check out the video below.

  • Ellen As The Oscars Host, Insulting But Hysterical

    From the first few moments Ellen DeGeneres walked onto that Oscar stage as host, she had the audience laughing.

    One of the funny comments from DeGeneres was, “For those around the world, it has been a tough couple of days here — it’s raining. We’re fine, thank you for your prayers.”

    In general, she teased more than anything else, making only one truly bold joke: That the evening would end in two possible ways. “Possibility number one, 12 Years a Slave wins best picture. Possibility two: you’re all racists.” Which generated uneasiness, as well as laughter.

    A memorable moment was when a star-studded group photo DeGeneres shared on twitter on Sunday night became the most ” retweeted” photograph ever, racing past a record held by President Obama.

    Although she was insulting in comical Ellen manner, shooting off, “I did some research, and between all of you here tonight, you have made 1,400 films, and have gone to a total of six years of college.” But she focused on Amy Adams, who admitted she did not attend college, and then referred to Jennifer Lawrence’s fall as she was getting out of the car to attend the ceremony, also mentioning Lawrence’s fall during the 2013 Oscars, saying “this year maybe we should bring the Oscar to you.” Lawrence laughed it off, and appeared to take the joke well.

    She acknowledged a special tribute to mark the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz and its star, Judy Garland, pointing out her children (Minnelli is one), by saying that it included the “best Liza Minnelli Impersonator I have ever seen” which generated an especially uneasy face on Minnelli. It obviously insulted her, however, Minnelli appeared to laugh after the initial shock.

    Probably one of the funniest stunts was when DeGeneres ordered pizza after asking those on the A-list if they were hungry. It appeared to be a joke, however, the pizza actually showed up – and she began handing out slices. Nominees who were spotted eating pizza were August Osage County stars Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep, American Hustle actors Jennifer Lawrence and Christian Bale, and The Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese, although his movie’s star, Leonardo DiCaprio, declined a slice.

    Then came the comment, “I don’t have any money,” she said, eliciting laughter from the audience. “Sandy?” she said to Gravity star Sandra Bullock.

    “You’ve got a lot of money,” she said, perhaps referring to the report that the actress is set to earn $70 million for her 2013 blockbuster. “You can tip him, right?”

    DeGeneres later roamed the aisles asking for the celebrities to chip in to pay for the pizzas using Pharrell Williams’ big brown hat, that he wore that evening in his musical performance.

    She was able to collect money from Weinstein, Pitt, Ejiofo, Kevin Spacey, and John Travolta, while Lupita Nyong’o, who earlier in the broadcast won a best supporting actress Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, contributed lip balm, which DeGeneres stated was “worth something” and stuck in her pocket.

    Although she was required to do so, she changed her clothes several times, making mention of her new outfit each time, which gained a hardy laughs each time. The biggest crack-up was when she came out, just after the Wizard of Oz tribute, as Glenda the Good Witch of the West, saying, “Oh, did I miss it!?” The crowd roared.

    DeGeneres obviously had a good time, and made the show less boring than previous hosts (no names need mention). She is getting a lot of flack, but she made the long, tense show bearable.

  • Ellen Breaks Twitter Record At Oscars

    A tweet from Ellen DeGeneres during the Oscars on Sunday night – a photo of her with eleven other celebrities from the audience (taken by Bradley Cooper) has set a new record for retweets.

    It even crashed Twitter at one point (though those familiar with the “Fail Whale” know that’s not quite as big of an accomplishment).

    Here it is:

    2,626,197 retweets and 1,329,296 favorites as of the time of this writing.

    That’s a whole lot more than the previous retweet record holder, which was a tweet from President Obama, which has just over 780,000 retweets and close to 300,000 favorites.

    According to Twitter, there were over 14.7 million tweets containing terms related to the Oscars telecast during the live show.

    Twitter notes that Ellen’s follower growth was 47 times more than her average daily growth after the show.

    Ellen

    Ellen’s tweet saw 254,644 tweets per minute (TPM). The other moments that drove the most Twitter conversation, according to the company, were: Ellen delivers pizza to the audience (158,159 TPM); and Gravity wins sixth Osacar – for film editing (135,330 TPM).

    The most tweeted about nominees during the evening, according to the company, were Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Alfonso Cuarón, Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock.

    Films that got the most mentions were Gravity, Frozen, 12 Years a Slave, Dallas Buyers Club and The Wolf of Wall Street.

  • Eva Mendes Explains Pregnancy Rumors

    Eva Mendes Explains Pregnancy Rumors

    Eva Mendes is one of the luckiest women on the planet. Not only is she gorgeous and talented, but she gets to call Ryan Gosling her man. Recently, however, rumors started to fly that the couple had split, and she only stirred the fire with her comments in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday.

    “I’m not a big Valentine’s Day person,” she said when asked about her plans. “I’ll probably just order a deep dish and watch ‘The Notebook’ or something. Just cry, weep,” she said, referring to Gosling’s sad love story based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.

    The couple haven’t been seen publicly together since late last year, but there are also rumors that the actress is pregnant, something she shot down fervently on “Ellen” this week.

    “It’s so ridiculous. Because it all started because I was didn’t want to go through the scanners at the airport,” Mendes recalled. “You know those x-ray scanners, which are really creepy. They basically see you naked, right. And not only that, but there’s a radiation aspect to it, so I always opt out. I always ask for a personal pat down.”

    Gosling was spotted driving Mendes’ car last weekend, which put the InTouch Magazine rumors into question. He hasn’t publicly commented on the relationship, however.

    The handsome actor was thrown some shade recently by George Takei, who said in an interview that he didn’t understand what the big fuss is about when it comes to Gosling.

    “I don’t know what all this hoo-ha about Ryan Gosling is about. He’s more often boring than not,” he said.

  • Sofia Vergara Makes Us Laugh With Ellen

    Sofia Vergara Makes Us Laugh With Ellen

    Sofia Vergara is a charmer. Whether she’s making us laugh on Modern Family or making us really want a Pepsi, the 41-year-old bombshell has us hooked.

    Yesterday, Vergara was the guest spot for The Ellen Show. (Talk about a funny pair!)

    She immediately had us in knots with her pronunciation of the word “Giants.” Referring to the football team, Vergara tried her best to say their name but with no luck. Instead, the name she mouthed was “Yiants.” In disbelief that she couldn’t say their name, DeGeneres tried her best to coach the Colombian beauty. Instead, laughter erupted and we all instantly fell in love with the actress once more.

    While DeGeneres and Vergara share a similar sense of humor, the two ladies have something else in common. Both are CoverGirl spokeswomen, appearing in magazine and television ads for the cosmetic line.

    The two even embarked on creating their own “CoverGirl” commercial that had the audience and viewers at home cracking up.

    DeGeneres took the liberty of throwing the guest a little bachelorette party-on the show. She tricked Vergara, serving her coffee and then cueing the attractive barista to take his clothes off (shirt and apron only) for a lap dance. Vergara excitedly played along, shoving the handful of cash DeGeneres handed her into the strippers pants.

    The Modern Family actress also shared with us some of her hot vacation pics. Can you believe she’s 41? We can’t either…

  • Kelly Clarkson Announces The Sex Of Her Baby

    Kelly Clarkson announced the sex of her baby today and said she was totally right: it’s a girl.

    The 31-year old singer called it when she said several weeks ago that only a girl could cause so much drama…in the form of unending morning sickness.

    “We just found out we’re having a girl officially! I knew it! Only a girl could cause this much drama with all this vomiting ha!” she tweeted.

    Clarkson suffered from the illness so badly during the early stages of her pregnancy that she had to cancel several appearances and ended up going public with the baby news sooner than she wanted. When asked by Savannah Guthrie whether she was feeling alright, Clarkson answered honestly.

    “Nope. I don’t know why they call it morning sickness. That’s my big joke right now because it’s all day and all night. I am super-excited about being pregnant, though. I’m just looking forward to the second trimester . . . they say it’s better,” she said.

    Clarkson, who just hit the 4-month mark, still has a while to go but says she and husband Brandon Blackstock already have a name picked out. As far as the sickness, she’ll be glad when it subsides.

    “I vomit a dozen times a day. It’s like bad. I vomited before coming out here,” she said last month on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “It’s so bad. It’s, like, so gross. You’re not attractive when you’re pregnant. Everybody tells you [that] you glow and your hair is pretty and your nails are pretty. That’s total crap.”

  • Julia Roberts Scares The Crap Out Of Julia Louis-Dreyfus

    Julia Roberts proved she’s down for some silliness when she made an appearance on “Ellen” this week and scared the crap out of Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

    It was all part of Ellen’s plan to make nervous wrecks of her guests, and it definitely worked this time. Ellen got Julia as she was coming out of her dressing room, then Roberts jumped out of a closet and double whammy-ed her. Good thing the former “Seinfeld” actress is such a good sport, although she admitted she wasn’t happy about being seen on hidden camera with no makeup.

    After some tongue twisters involving repeating the name “Julia”, the ladies showed the clip to the audience and got quite a few laughs at Louis-Dreyfus’ reaction.

    Check out the clip below.

  • Colin Farrell Talks About His Relationship With Liz Taylor

    Colin Farrell may be a hunky Irish actor who leaves girls swooning, but he has a deeper side that not many people know about. The 37-year old actor spoke candidly recently about a relationship he had with a beautiful actress that wasn’t about anything physical, but rather about a connection and friendship.

    Farrell told Ellen DeGeneres recently that he was at Cedars Sinai in 2009 for the birth of his son Henry when he met Elizabeth Taylor’s manager, Tim Mendelsohn. He didn’t have the chance to meet the iconic actress then, because she was ill and was having heart surgery, but he asked Mendelsohn to give her his best. Soon after, he decided to send flowers, only to receive some from Taylor herself. A week after that, the two arranged a meeting.

    “And that was the beginning of a year and a half or two years of what was a really cool [relationship]. It was kind of like the last — it feels like in my head, not hers, I’m projecting — but the last kind of romantic relationship I had. It was really cool, and she wasn’t much of a sleeper at night, like I’m not, so at two o’clock in the morning, I’d call her. I’d call her at two in the morning, and the nurse would answer the phone, and I’d say, ‘Is she awake?’… And then I’d be on the phone and I’d hear, ‘Hello?’ And I’d go, ‘How’s it going?’ And we’d talk for a half an hour, an hour, into the wee hours. I just adored her. She was a spectacular, spectacular woman. I wanted to be [husband] number eight, but we ran out of road.”

    Sadly, Taylor died in 2011 at the age of 79. After getting her start in Hollywood as a child, she went on to portray some of the most memorable characters on film and won the Academy Award for Best actress for “Butterfield 8”.
