VIDEO: YouTube Star Sings on Ellen, Talks to Lady Gaga
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Music, Talk Shows, Syndication, Video,
Imagine your mother texting you at school to let you know that you’ll be appearing on Ellen.
That’s exactly what happened yesterday to Greyson Michael Chance - the young boy who has rocked the Internet with his Lady Gaga cover.
After seeing his YouTube video, host Ellen DeGeneres immediately flew out the 12-year-old - apparently he’s not 13 - to not only perform “Paparazzi” on national TV, but to speak on the phone with “Miss Gaga” herself.
I can only imagine how low his classmates’ jaws will drop now.

VIDEO: Betty White Talks SNL Gig, Super Bowl Commercial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication, Commercials, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Betty White may be “scared to death” about her upcoming Saturday Night Live gig, but she didn’t appear that way during yesterday’s Ellen show.
During Monday’s broadcast, White admitted that she had been asked to host SNL three other times before, but she had always turned the producers down because the program is “so New York” and she’s not. So when this whole “silly Facebook thing started” and she was asked again, she was pleasantly surprised.

Simon Cowell Comments on Fantasia’s Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, FOX, Syndication, American Idol, Video,
If you watched last Wednesday’s American Idol results show, Fantasia’s guest appearance most likely had you talking. Unfortunately, you were probably commenting about Simon Cowell’s visible reaction rather than the former winner’s actual performance.
Those who missed that rewindable moment are in luck. Ellen DeGeneres was kind enough to replay it today for the judge himself:
Another Emotional Day for Ellen DeGeneres
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Video,
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres spoke very passionately today about a topic very close to her heart. (Thankfully, it had nothing to do with dogs.) The issue? Homosexuality.
Ellen felt the need to speak up after a 15-year-old boy was recently murdered for being openly gay. You can see her emotional plea below:
Ellen DeGeneres’ Doggy Troubles
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Gossip, Rumors,
Wow. I just saw the video of Ellen DeGeneres breaking down on her show about her pet adoption. I had read about it, but it really is heart wrenching to see her sobbing. She spoke about a pet adoption that turned bad after she gave her adopted dog, Iggy, to a hairdresser. The dog’s energy level was a bit too much for her existing cats so she found a loving home with her hairdresser and her two daughters. Turns out that’s an oops, since she violated an agreement she signed with the Mutts and Moms Dog Rescue. Under the contract, if she was unable to keep the dog, he should have been returned to the rescue. Wrought with emotion, DeGeneres said, “I thought I did a good thing. I tried to find a loving home for the dog because I couldn’t keep it.” A few days after giving the dog to her hairdresser, a rep from the rescue and the police came and took the dog from the woman and her 11 and 12 year old daughters. Now, I understand the need for a contract, but you also have to agree that Ellen is an animal lover and she truly only had the best interest of the dog in line. She explained, “I feel totally responsible for it, and I’m so sorry. I’m begging them to give that dog back to that family. It’s not their fault. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have given the dog away. Just please give the dog back to those little girls.”

Another ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Cancellation Due To Family Illness
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
Just two weeks ago, we were reporting of a death in the family for competitor Jane Seymour. Now the Dancing With The Stars producers are facing another cancellation. Singer Gloria Estefan, who was scheduled to perform on this Tuesday’s results show, has flown to Miami to be with an ailing relative. Her mother, Gloria Fajardo, is currently listed in critical condition after suffering an intestinal rupture.
In addition to her DWTS performance, Estefan has cancelled appearances on The Tonight Show and Ellen. It is not known at this time who might be performing in her place tomorrow night.

‘Cupid’ Gets Do-Over
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, HBO, Entourage,
Remember that show Cupid? Starring Jeremy Piven (way before he was a big shot on Entourage)? I vaguely remember it because I’ve been a big Piv fan since his days on Ellen and his role in PCU, so I certainly checked out Cupid. But then, it didn’t stick around. To be exact, the show only lasted 15 episodes when it aired in 1998/1999. The show was written by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, but back then, he didn’t have the clout that he’s gotten as a result of Veronica. So, here’s the interesting thing—ABC is giving him a second chance at bringing Cupid back to the small screen. Have you ever heard of a do-over like that? It’ll be cool to see how much they retool it, although it sounds like the concept will remain (a man thinks he’s sent to earth to play cupid… hence the name). You can guarantee of course that they’ll have to re-cast, since I’m pretty sure Piven is otherwise involved with a hit show and heaps of awards. Nor do I suspect that co-star Paula Marshall will return to the series. But Thomas does want to “try to hook some really good guest stars every week,” so hopefully that will keep people tuning in this time around.
