Katie Holmes Talks About The Penis Gummies Incident

Katie Holmes visted The Ellen DeGeneres show Thursday and discussed the much talked about incident where her 4-year-old daughter Suri Cruise was photographed holding Penis Gummies.

It's no secret that once the photos were released there was a lot of talk of how those are not the type of snacks a child should be getting a hold of but as it turns out Katie had no clue she was holding them to begin with {hard to believe).

The 32-year-old actress told Ellen that she and Suri visited an ice cream shop they always go to in NY called Serendipity, where most of the customers are children. She then explains how it was that she neglected to notice she was phallic candy in her hand by saying:

"We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified."

She states she immediately noticed the candy:

"She was holding the box and I was like 'OK, wow we don't need that right now.' Because I thought if I said 'Put that back,' and then she's going to say, 'What is this?' And I really didn't want to have that conversation."

Katie of course noticed that the photos of Suri holding the x-rated candy in her hands had made their way onto the front cover of many tabloid magazines.

"I was like, 'Oh my god, no.' We put them back."

She also mentioned to Ellen DeGenerous her great disappointment in the store selling those sorts of candy and she made a point to bring the it to the store's attention.

Miranda Cosgrove Talks College vs Show Biz With Ellen DeGeneres

Cutie 'iCarly' star Mirada Cosgrove stopped by 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' today (March 9) to talk about life and her perfect boy.

The 17-year-old actress/singer opened up to Ellen about her plans to take a break from showbiz in order to attend college, telling Ellen:

�I just sent all my college applications in so I�m waiting to see what happens. I�m in 12th grade but I�ll find out in the next few weeks, I still really want to do my show so I�m going to try to keep filming. Maybe if I go to USC I can still do it since I�ll be in LA.�

Miranda explained that she applied to both USC and NYU. My bet is she's hoping she'll get accepted to USC because who wouldn't want to earn more cash and still get an education?

When Ellen asked Neutrogena spokes girl Miranda what she looks for in her perfect guys she said:

�Shia Labeouf and Zac Efron put together,with a Michael Cera personality.�

Sounds like a great guy to me too, hopefully she'll find someone with all of those traits. I'm a big fan of 'iCarly', it's really funny & entertaining so I'm hoping she'll stick around & do school at the same time. I mean if Natalie Portman did it...

The day after Justin Bieber chopped off his crazy girl like mane he went on the Ellen DeGeneres show he gifted her his hair in a signed box. ?

After the show was over Ellen immediately put the box full of hair on eBay and within an hour the auction had reached $10,000. The auction closed today and the last bidder bought the singers box of hair for a whopping $40,668...WOW!

The entire sum of money will be donated to 'The Gentle Barn Foundation', an animal rescue organization and the winning bidder will get to meet the Bieber next time he visits Ellen's show.

Not only did this person pay way too much for a box of his gross hair but it's really quiet disturbing that they'd want it.

Would you pay that much for someones hair?

Ellen's Idol Debut

Last night Ellen DeGeneres made her debut as a judge on American Idol. She seemed to fit right in with Simon, Randy, and Kara on the judges panel. Ellen added in some humor like when she had some of the contestants step forward, backward and side to side before revealing who would go on to the next round. But she also provided some helpful critiques in a refreshingly nice way to balance out Simon's usual blunt nature.

There were also several standout performances already in these early stages of the competition. Contestant Andrew Garcia did a very unique acoustic cover of Paula Abdul's Straight Up and Casey James really showed his talent with not only his great voice, but also his blues guitar skills.

Tonight we will see how Ellen copes with day two as an Idol judge and also see how the contestants manage with the always drama filled group night.

Enjoy this highlight from last night!

Ellen DeGeneres Speaks Out on Body Image and 'American Idol'

Ellen DeGeneres is sick and tired of the double standard when it comes to women and body image. The talk show host and “American Idol” judge discusses the issue with Katie Couric on CBS Evening News saying, "It's a double standard because there are men with really beautiful women that don't have great bodies, and yet nobody's saying anything about that. Women [think they] need to keep themselves up to look good for a man or for society. It's not fair."

In the interview with Couric, Ellen says airbrushing is one of the things that really bothers her the most. "Women are looking at bodies like that and going, 'My stomach doesn't look like that. I'm supposed to look like that?! So they starve themselves and they work out like crazy."

Beauty isn't about being stick-skinny, Ellen says it's about being healthy and happy. She adds: "It's not important. We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy. If you're healthy, it's got nothing to do with how much you weigh."

Ellen tells CBS Evening News that her relationship with wife Portia de Rossi is what keeps her healthy and happy.

It also sounds like Ellen is bringing the same attitude of acceptance and kindness to the “American Idol” set. She says she is finding it difficult to be critical of the contestants. "I'm getting good at delivering bad news, myself, but I'm trying to do it in a tender way. … I hate hurting people's feelings, so that, I think, is the hardest part. I think we have good people … I'm going to fight very, very hard to keep the people that I believe in, so that we have a wide variety … somebody for everybody, I hope."

Drama Between "Idol" Judges Already?

It seems there is already drama stirring up on the set of "American Idol" between Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres. Simon arrived more than 90 minutes late to the first taping of the show, causing Ellen and the other judges to waste their time waiting for the veteran judge.

According to the Sun Times, Ellen was especially irritated due to her very tight schedule. She has already moved had to change her schedule to accommodate “American Idol”, including moving up the taping of her own talk show. With Simon leaving at the end of the season, “Idol” isn’t worried about leaking his bad habits anymore. A source told Pop Eater, "You should expect many more nasty leaks about Simon. The show no longer feels the need to protect him. Simon has been late for years and is baffled that all of a sudden, after he announces he is leaving the show, leaks to the press have started to occur."

Possible replacements for Simon are also beginning to surface. The Sun Times reported that the “Idol” producers want the new judge to have major music industry credibility. Replacements could include Tommy Mottola, Guy Oseary (Madonna’s business partner), and Jimmy Lovine.

Paula Abdul Impersonates Ellen Degeneres

Paula Abdul finally decided to address (sort of) her departure from American Idol and her new replacement, Ellen Degeneres. By which we mean she put on a blonde wig, a pantsuit, and a pair of sneakers and danced her way down the aisle on VH1 Divas, impersonating the talk show host's typical on-air antics. Abdul, however, made it clear that the joke was all in good fun and even told Degeneres to call her if she ever needs advice. Wonder if that will ever happen. Check out the video below:
