Dennis Quaid Wants a Latte

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:10:00 -0700

If I thought Dennis Quaid was hot before (and yes, I did), I think he's super hot now. (Men, it's true - we love guys with a sense of humor.) Basically, Ellen DeGeneres wired him up to receive her instructions. Dennis had to walk into Starbucks and say whatever she told him, while a hidden camera recorded his egomaniacal antics and the poor barista's responses. I would never have the nerve to do this! So hilarious.

John McCain Chats Marriage With Ellen, Plans V(i)P BBQ

CitizenSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 08:00:58 -0700

John McCain stopped by the Ellen Degeneres show yesterday, where talk turned. . . respectfully tense over the issue of gay marriage and Ellen's pending nuptials. Calling it "the elephant in the room" Ellen asked McCain to explain his position. McCain believes same-sex couples should be allowed legal unions for insurance and other purposes, but he opposes gay marriage and believes in "the unique status of marriage between and man and a woman." McCain said, "and I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue." McCain opposes an amendment to the Constitution to ban same-sex unions. To see how Ellen responded and McCain's plans for a Veepstakes BBQ, read more.

Ellen gave back, saying "We are all the same people, all of us. You're no different than I am. Our love is the same. When someone says, 'You can have a contract, and you'll still have insurance, and you'll get all that,' it sounds to me like saying, 'Well, you can sit there, you just can't sit there.' It feels like we are not, you know, we aren't owed the same things and the same wording."

They parted friends though, McCain saying, "I, along with many, many others, wish you every happiness." Ellen pounced on the opportunity to lobby for a four-star escort. "So, you'll walk me down the aisle? Is that what you're saying?"

McCain's answer? "Touche." Check out the exchange - I think they kept it very civilized. Are you an Ellen fan? Can you imagine McCain walking her down the aisle?

In other McCain news, his weekend BBQ guest list is grabbing all kinds of attention from Veepstakes speculators. Though McCain insists the event is purely social, when Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal, and Mitt Romney make s'mores with the Senator, people wonder whose buns might be about to get buttered. . . .

Celine Loves to Hear Herself Sing

GiggleSugar — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 09:11:33 -0800

Her Royal Full of Herself made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her ~~new album~~ status as the greatest singer ever, and to show off how much weight she can bench press with one index finger. Seriously, Celine? That ring belongs in a zoo.

Say What? Portia de Rossi on Why Marriage Matters

TresSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:05:00 -0800

"The thing about being a gay couple is that in the past you referred to your 'wife' and there was quotation marks around it. There was always that chance that people would kind of snigger about it. But now it's fact, it's law. She's my wife. I get to say that she's my wife. And that's just the way it is."

- Portia de Rossi told Oprah yesterday why marriage matters to gay couples. Portia and her wife Ellen DeGeneres got married in August 2008 and they both appeared on Oprah's show to discuss their relationship and careers.

Cute Alert: Kid From Kaiser Permanente Commercial

GiggleSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:00:00 -0700

I've always thought this kid, Pete Wiggins, was hilarious. He looks like a little man, but he's only five years old. Here, Ellen DeGeneres plies him with goodies, even though the whole point of the Kaiser ad was that he has given up bad habits. (A Cheetos habit dies hard, people. I speak from experience.)

Dear Poll: You're the New Host for Which Talk Show?

DearSugar — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 15:30:00 -0700

Being sick is never fun, but staying home from work and watching one talk show after another kinda makes it bearable. It's just one of those guilty pleasures, I suppose, and I don't think I'm alone here! Throughout the day, every channel repeats a version of the same format: celebrity guests discussing a new book, a new film or TV show. What makes the hour fun? The host. Which brings us to you.

Imagine someone's retired, you've been approached by the network and offered the role of host for a talk show. In which chair would you like to spend the next 5 to 10 years?

A Daytime Dance Party?!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 01:00:00 -0700

"Don't Cha" wish you could've been a part of this studio audience? Ellen hosted a dance party, revved things up with the Pussycat Dolls, and discovered a suburban house mom with a whole lotta body roll and spank, I mean spunk, in her! Good times, good times.

Jenna Bush Gives the 'Rents a Call

GiggleSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:00:00 -0800

Smooth-talking Ellen pressured Jenna Bush into giving Mom and Pop a surprise phone call on live television today. Forget disturbing her parents or jeopardizing their security, Jenna was more concerned about the Christmas presents she might not get because of this antic. A girl's gotta have priorities . . .
