Culture Buzz This is awesome. On his show Monday, Howard Stern went on a 12-minute rant about the “One Million Moms” campaign against Ellen DeGeneres, people who joke about Rosie O'Donnell being a lesbian, anti-gay politicians, and much more. It's worth listening to in its entirety. (via Vulture)
TV Buzz Go Ellen! Last week, a Christian group called One Million Moms called on JC Penney to fire new spokesperson Ellen DeGeneres because she's gay.

TV Buzz They're both faces of CoverGirl, but maybe they'd be better off in clown school instead?
Celebrity Buzz Ellen Degeneres, Sara Gilbert, Melissa Etheridge, K.D. Lang, and Rosie O'Donnell — sounds like a party to me! On last night's edition of “Watch What Happens Live,” Rosie O'Donnell responded to host Andy Cohen's questions about her relationship with Ellen with a tale about the good ol' times when all of Hollywood's closeted lesbians would party together.

Celebrity Buzz Anne Hathaway and James Franco are the latest in an 82 year tradition of hosting the Academy Awards. Here's every notable and not-so-notable Oscars emcee to precede them. What do Donald Duck and David Letterman have in common? They've only hosted the Oscars once. (Many of those on this list have co-hosted with others, hence the overlap of certain years.)
Sofia went on Ellen yesterday, and the two of them teamed up to prey on random WB employees with Sofia's unintelligible accent (and two other assets.) It's actually quite charming.
Music Buzz Updated with a better quality video! You can now watch Willow Smith whip her hair on full screen. I can't wait to rock the bedazzled neck brace this season!
Ellen DeGeneres finally broke through and became a category on Family Feud, but the elation was short lived after a contestant questions her patriotism. He's right though. Her fun, light-hearted attitude about everything is teeming with anti-American sentiment.

A totally legit Covergirl/Oil of Olay commercial featuring Ellen being goofy as usual. So good, you'd think it was a spoof.

Nine-year-old guitar prodigy Yuto Miyazawa Performed Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train on Monday's Ellen. His voice may leave a BIT to be desired, but he does a whole lot better singing this in English than I would in Japanese. [Editor's Note: Stick around for the end if you enjoy things that are unbelievably adorable.]
She's really sorry she hurt so many people by getting married. It's nice to see a Hollywood star taking responsibility for a change!
I don't know how we missed this gem of a segment from the show last year, where Chris Matthews cups Ellen's boobs like he means it. But the technology Ellen is using to prepare for Matthews' return could be extremely valuable next time I'm at a bar inhabited by dirty old men.
Kanye debuted his neontastic new video for “Love Lockdown” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which has the internet’s music fans wondering, “wtf kanye?”. But it’s cool. He’s just reaching “across the aislie”, as pols would say, and hitting that bigger target audience who watches daytime TV. It’s all certainly very Kanye, referencing American Psycho, Coming to America and spaceships in one fell swoop.
