Daily Recap

"American Idol" has definitely given back. The glorified telethon which aired Tuesday and Wednesday raised close to $60,000,000. "Idol Gives Back", which was hosted by Ellen Degeneres, aired in order to raise money for impoverished children in Africa and America, kids should be able to eat and get their medicine. No one wants a million little kids walking around looking like Nicolle Richie.


Paris Hilton has found a new species to neglect. The "charitable" heiress decided to adopt a pair of kittens from a local pet depot. Poor Tinkerbell she is going to have to share the spotlight with two new kitties.






Lindsay thinks being an actress is very lonely, she defends going out every night because she claims she does not like to be alone. Partying in clubs and getting drunk is the perfect way to find someone new to take home with her every night so she never has to sleep by herself. Oh Lindsay what are we going to do with you? Please keep telling people your random thoughts, it makes for great news!





Even one of the most beautiful girls in the world get criticized for their weird features. Angelina Jolie got snapped in a bad moment, one of the veins in her forehead is popping out and a lucky photographer got a picture of it. I guess we all need to find flaw in someone so beautiful in order to make us a little happier.




Alec apologized for calling his daughter Ireland a pig on "The View" this morning, he needed some type of back up and I guess he thought having Rosie in his corner would help him out, maybe the Donald will find another reason to talk about her and everyone will leave Alec alone. It was a nice try but I don't think it is going to work for him. Good luck!

Ellen is moving

Ellen Degeneres is selling her house. Her Montecito estate is going on the market for $24 million. When Degeneres bought the house she paid $15.75 so she is going to make a killing in the turnover. The house features all of the amenities anyone cold wish for, there is a pool, billiards room,wine cellar and more. Maybe Sandra Bullock should buy it. When she was planning her wedding to Monster Garage host Jesse James she wanted to have the wedding at Ellen's house. When Ellen bought the house Sandra Bullock had to find a new location for her special day. Ellen had no idea any of this was going on but to this day, Sandra still makes her feel guilty about it.

During the adoption ceremony he was scared and started crying, but was fine later.

It is fun to be in the audience for talk show. Some people wait their whole lives to go to one. Look at shows like "Oprah" and "Ellen" that have a waiting list for almost 1 year. Well on lucky lady got the chance to go to "Martha Stewart" show, but turns out she was not so lucky. Shirley Shephard was the lucky lady who got to sit in the studio audience on Tuesday morning, but what she did not realize was that she may be the highlight of the show. It turns out she was the courtroom sketch artist during Martha Stewarts very publicized trial. Stewart called her out and made her stand up and told her she was a horrible artist. I have a feeling Shirley will wait a while before going to another talk show.

Oprah's After Party

Oprah is everywhere. After Hollywood's biggest night Oprah is the only one who gets all the news and excitement the next day on Oprah's After Oscar Party. Her studio audience gets the chance to fill the seats of where all the celebrities sat the night before. She is the only one that is allowed access to the Kodak Theater the day after the show. She will have some of the winners and the shows host Ellen Degeneres with her to reveal all of last nights secrets and a recap of the whole event. Tune in to see what you missed last night and to hear about what happened behind the scenes.

Oh Ellen!

Come on Ellen! I thought her opening monologue would be so funny. She knows all of the nominees and is friends with a few of them. She could have taken a leap and done something hilarious, but she played it safe. The only thing I thought was funny was the comment of was her mentioning Leonardo Dicaprio, but had nothing to say about him she just thought the ladies wanted to look at him for a minute. Her celebration of all the nominees with a gospel singing was very weird and came out of nowhere. She would have been better off dancing by herself on the stage. Hopefully it will get funnier otherwise this is going to be a long evening. You could tell that she was nervous and kind of rambling. I'm not denying it must be terrifying to host the Academy Awards, but she is Ellen she should make it funny and respectable at the same time.
