On her show, DeGeneres paid tribute to de Rossi — who turned 40 last week — by acting out the story of the Australian actress’ life.

DeGeneres portrayed de Rossi, with Hayes appearing as “DeGeneres.”

When it came time to kiss at their “wedding,” Hayes went in for a full-on makeout session!

The Kardashian matriarch’s daily one-hour chat fest “Kris” will get a test run on Fox-owend stations in certain markets this summer.

“This is something I have wanted to do all my life so it’s definitely a dream come true!” said Jenner in a statement. “I can’t wait for this new adventure to begin.”

“The latest adventures, successes and disappointments surrounding the extensive Kardashian and Jenner family fill entertainment magazines and create daily online headlines,” said Twentieth TV executive Stephen Brown in a statement.

“Good mothers and good fathers and good families don’t always have great children,” the matriarch said on Monday’s “Today Show.”

Appearing on the show to discuss her new memoir, Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped, Cissy explained, “It’s all [the children's] responsibility when they get to a certain age to choose their way.”

“She was taught,” Cissy said. “She knew her way.”

Houston was 48 when she was found dead last February at the Beverly Hilton Hotel the night before the Grammy Awards.

It was later determined she died from an accidental drowning, although cocaine use was deemed a contributing factor.

When asked about Bobby Brown’s possible negative influence on her daughter, Cissy was largely dismissive.

“I know he didn’t help her. I don’t blame him,” she said, adding, ”Everybody is responsible for their own actions up to a point. She was raised, she knew better, and whatever took her to that position, I really don’t know.”

The costumed singer invited two extremely excited audience members on stage to play “Grab Ellen’s Bust,” a trivia game about DeGeneres.

“The bitch is back!” exclaimed Whoopi Goldberg, echoing the glowing sentiments of a few of her co-hosts and an audience that wildly applauded after viewing footage of Clinton’s heated exchange with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).

“Amen!” shouted guest host Stacy London.

“Now I think I might vote for that woman if she ran for president,” said Sherri Shepherd.

Hasselbeck, however, took a critical tone, expressing her dissatisfaction with Clinton’s testimony: “You had senators like McCain who’s been in and out of politics and war and I think he felt as though his questions were not answered, that four lives were lost that could have been more protected over time. So I’m not cheering for Clinton at this point. We still don’t have information and, at that point, I’ll cheer when we get information.”

“We have never known what’s going on when something like this goes down,” Goldberg responded. “We always hear six or seven different stories before someone actually tells us the truth; sometimes it takes a couple of years. … We’re never going to know and some of the stuff, I have to tell you, I don’t want to know. I just want you to fix it because I don’t like what’s happening, you know.”

“I would vote for her,” Joy Behar said.

“I’m shocked, Joy,” Hasselbeck quipped. “No, [I wouldn't].”

“She knew her stuff yesterday,” guest host Stacy London added. “I was impressed because they really grilled her and it did feel a little bit like they were going after her.”

Asked whether he’s homosexual during Thursday’s much-hyped interview on “Katie,” the Notre Dame linebacker responded, “No. Far from it. Far from that.”

Te’o, who says he lied about his supposed dead girlfriend only after he found out she never existed, also shared a Twitter message from alleged hoax perpetrator Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.

In a preview of the football player’s upcoming interview — which airs in full on Thursday’s “Katie” — Te’o said that up until early December, he believed he had actually had a relationship with a woman named Lennay Kekua, whom he thought died of cancer.

“Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on Sept. 12,” Te’o told Couric. ”Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12.”

The ABC newswoman took a spill on the stairs at the British Ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, sustaining a head injury.

On Tuesday’s “The View,” Walters’ colleagues gave viewers an update.

Whoopi Goldberg read a statement from Walters which thanked everyone for their concern.

“First and foremost, all the people who have called, written and been concerned about me, I’m most appreciative,” wrote Walters. “I’m running a low-grade fever and the doctors are keeping me in the hospital until my temperature is normal. I’m pleased that it is going in the right direction and I will be home soon.”

Couric will sit down with Te’o and his parents, Brian and Ottilia Te’o, who are speaking out for the first time and say they were also victims of the hoax.

In an off-camera interview with ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap Friday, Te’o reiterated that he’s the greatest victim of the hoax, while admitting he’d made mistakes, including telling his father he met “Lennay Kekua.”

Given that the interview is for Couric’s show, but that she also contributes to ABC News, one might wonder if Te’o and his family were paid for their appearance. ABC News tells us no money changed hands. Couric’s PR man Matthew Hiltzik was hired by the Te’o family in recent days.

Asked what she’ll tell her daughter about her wild child past, which included drug use, bisexuality and two short-lived marriages, the actress said, “I will absolutely instill in her that you cannot be ashamed of the journey that it took to get where you are.”

Barrymore added, “I will also try to instill in her that I did not have guidance, and that is why I lived my life that way.”

Winfrey asked Armstrong directly, “did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance.” He answered “yes.” She asked if he could have realistically won the Tour de France seven times without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs. He said it was highly doubtful, explaining that he got hooked in the mid-90s.

The journalist, who came out last summer in a thoughtful letter, revealed he had a “little experience” with the fairer sex, saying, “When I would go on dates with girls, like when I was 12… there was a lot of sharing, and a lot of talking, and a lot of asking how I am.”

Then, when he was 13 and 14, Cooper recalls there were girls who “thought we were dating… and I was sort of hoping to meet their brothers.”

The co-anchor, sidelined since last summer as she underwent a bone marrow transplant and treatment for a serious blood disorder, announced that her recovery is going well enough that she’ll be back at the “GMA” desk before long.

“I’m coming home,” said Roberts during a live appearance. “We’re talking now a matter of weeks, not months.”

Roberts clarified, “I should be back sometime in February. Now I have a date in mind that’s very personal and very important to me, but I will ultimately listen to what my doctors say.”

But for this generation it’s Oprah. Lance will cry, his eyes will well up when he talks about his kids, he’ll show Oprah his scars from various surgeries, and recommend a healing expert in Nepal which she’ll put on her next Best Things list.

Will she grant him absolution? I hope not. But Armstrong has nothing to lose–he’s lost everything. He deceived the world for years, and kept lying about it. He had plenty of chances to explain himself. I don’t care if he came from a broken home, was beaten with a bat, or made to wash the dishes. Maybe this will be the last time we’ll have to hear from him.
