Not content to just disappear into the abyss of obscurity, Mariah Carey frolicked over to Ellen DeGeneres' show to play coy about the latest batch of pregnancy rumors. When Carey simply said "No, that's OK," in response to Ellen's question as to whether or not the singer is expecting, Ellen got smart and offered her champagne:
But Carey tells her it's 'just fattening. That's not champagne. You can't have it on TV.'
DeGeneres then tells her, 'Let's toast to you not being pregnant.'
Replies Carey, 'Oh, my goodness! I can't believe her! Why would we toast to that? How about to the future?'
Now, if this were any other celebrity we would say, "OMG she's totally preggers!" but this is Mariah we're talking about — she's just desperate for attention in any form or fashion. Sorry, Nick Cannon, you won't be cashing in on your fortune just yet.
Ellen DeGeneres, bless her heart, suffered through an uncomfortable interview with the young Miley Cyrus, who doesn't act a day over 15. That's fine and all, since she is 15, but could she keep it together for, like, two minutes during an interview for poor Ellen's sake? This flopping around on the couch while giggling slumber party-style isn't exactly the most charming act we've ever seen. And guess what? Nobody really cares if you're dating this Justin kid. Just say "yes" or "no comment" like a normal person and move the interview along. Not everything needs to be a huge ploy for attention.
Patrick Dempsey appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show yesterday and, yes, the conversation turned to actress Brooke Smith's recent axing from ABC's Grey's Anatomy.
Some suspect ABC gave Smith the boot because her on-screen lesbian relationship was getting a bit too serious. Dempsey gave no credence to those rumors — not because they're not true, but because network executives told him what to say:
PROP 8 TAINTS OBAMA VICTORY FOR DEGENERES "Ellen DeGeneres says she is 'saddened beyond belief' by the passage of a constitutional amendment in California banning gay marriage. The talk show host said in a statement Wednesday to The Associated Press that she, 'like millions of Americans, felt like we had taken a giant step toward equality' by electing Barack Obama as president. DeGeneres says that with the passage of California’s Proposition 8, 'we took a giant step away.'"
Anderson Cooper is rapidly becoming the one person, living or dead, with whom we would choose to have dinner. Not only is he hilariously sarcastic when it comes to politics — telling Ellen Degeneres, "I'm not sure I existed before [the election]" — he also focuses on what really matters: Reality television. The former Living Lohan critic revealed his current obsession with The Real Housewives of Atlanta, most notably resident crazy NeNe. When Ellen admits she hasn't watched, Anderson asks incredulously, "What have you been doing?" before giving the show the hard sell: "It's good … or something." Swoon.

Dancing With the Stars' Cheryl Burke took to the Ellen DeGeneres Show today to address the idiots who are calling her fat:
I was like, maybe I should just starve myself for four weeks just so people would shut up. But at the end of the day … I'm an athlete. I like to eat, I like to work out, and I like to feel healthy, and I feel healthy.
There is so much pressure — especially starting younger and younger — for girls to think they have to look a certain way. They're making themselves sick. … You don't have to be a size zero to be beautiful.
This is what everyone says all the time, but evidently it bears repeating because people still aren't getting it.
Ellen DeGeneres laid the smack down on Sarah Palin today.
Okay, well, it's not a "smack down," but Ms. D made absolutely clear that she does not approve of Palin's support for a prohibitive federal marriage amendment. "Maybe it's just because I'm gay that I think we should all be equal, but I feel that we're all created equal," says the lesbian before going on about why same-sex nuptials do no harm.
Joe Biden avoided dancing on a recent episode of Ellen, but Barack Obama wasn't so lucky during a remote taping for the show yesterday.
DEGENERES PUTS HER MONEY WHERE HER HEART IS "US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has bought $100,000 of TV airtime to back gay marriage. The 50-year-old will urge Californians to vote to save the right to gay marriage during the state ballot in November, campaign organisers said. … Her TV advert will be screened in the run-up to the state ballot on 4 November."
Ellen DeGeneres has created a public service announcement imploring California's most virulent bigots to give it a rest for a while and vote no on Proposition 8, the ballot initiative to ban gay marriage. If the legislation passes, it could possibly nullify DeGeneres' August marriage to partner Portia de Rossi, thus hurting them both tremendously and permanently.

Kanye West released the characteristically-eccentric video for his new song, "Love Lockdown," on Ellen today. While he was there, he said he is trying to do his mom proud by "not [getting] hung up on the small things." He hasn't quite perfected that one yet.
Here's Jessica Alba's latest ad for the Declare Yourself campaign, aimed at getting young people to vote. Although, if you ask us, this doesn't inspire us to do anything politically — we're just creeped out and annoying by Alba, as usual.
In other political celebrity news, an army of famous people — including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry and Jonah Hill — shot a new ad encouraging everyone not to vote. You can watch it here.
Is the election over yet?
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were recently wed in a very well-publicized ceremony in Beverly Hills. After that, DeGeneres took to her blog to decry California's Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment that would eliminate same sex couples' right to marry and could possibly nullify all the gay marriages that came before it.
Yet despite all the good she's done for gay rights in California, there's rumbling coming from other Proposition 8 opponents who say DeGeneres needs to contribute more. Specifically, Ellen has yet to send a big, fat check to the cause, and insiders say that that omission has the potential to hurt both Ellen and Prop 8 in the long run.

Ellen DeGeneres is just so generous! The lesbian funny lady used her talk show yesterday to run some behind-the-scenes footage of her wedding to Portia de Rossi.
It's possibly the cutest thing we've ever seen and these girls are by far our favorite gay couple in history.
