Paris Jackson Talks About Advice Her Father Gave Her

Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, talked to Ellen DeGeneres for a new interview, where she talks about the advice that her father gave her. The advice was simple and to the point: Always remember.

She told Ellen, “He said, ‘If I die tomorrow, always remember what I told you.’ I took his advice, and I remembered everything he told me.”

Paris is currently starring in her first movie, and said that her father shaped a lot of her life, including her decision to get into acting.

She revealed, “My dad was in the movie Moonwalker, and I knew he could sing really well but I didn’t know he could act. I saw that and I said, ‘Wow, I want to be just like him.’ We would do improv together. He would give us little scenarios. He would go, ‘Okay, in this scene you’re going to cry’, and I’d cry on the spot.”

When Paris was younger, her famous father had her face shrouded with a mask. She said, “I’m like, ‘This is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?’ But I kind of realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us. And he’d explain that to us, too.”

She added, “I’m treated the same. When I came to school, they didn’t know who I was. I was like, yes, I have a chance to be normal.”

Lindsay Lohan To Debut Playboy Photos On Ellen DeGeneres' Show

Lindsay Lohan is gearing up to debut her nude photo spread from Playboy for the Ellen DeGeneres Show!

She appears nude on the January/February cover of the men’s publication and has chosen Ellen’s show as a vehicle to promote the “classy photos”. She’s reportedly giving Ellen the first sneak peek on an upcoming episode of her show.

A rep for Playboy said, “Lindsay has agreed to do one media interview during the on-sale period of her issue, and has chosen Ellen. Lindsay will not be doing any additional interviews to promote her pictorial.”

Hugh Hefner even touted the photos as a “classic tribute” to Marilyn Monroe, someone whom Lindsay has referred to as her idol. Hef said, “It’s a classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate in the very first issue of Playboy. Oh, yes, she’s naked. And classy, very classy.”

Will you be tuning into the show when she does her interview? Are you curious how Photoshopped they’re going to make Lindsay to appear in the magazine?

UPDATE: Nevermind, a photo of Playboy with Lindsay on the cover has already leaked!

Country singer Taylor Swift appears on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is set to air today, and talked to her about her personal life. Taylor made it loud and clear: she’s not seeing anyone at the moment.

She’s been linked to Joe Jonas and Jake Gyllenhaal, but currently there is no one special in her life. Taylor is promoting her new scent, Wonderstruck, on the show.

Of the fragrance, Ellen asked, “Does your boyfriend like the way it smells?”

Taylor replied, “I don’t have one! I keep telling you that…I just don’t. I, for real, don’t have a boyfriend. I sit by myself and I watch Law & Order.”

She went on to say, “I don’t have a boyfriend — I don’t even have like kind of a boyfriend – I don’t have someone that I’m texting that is a guy that someday might be my boyfriend. There’s nothing going on right now!”

Ellen joked, “That’s pathetic.”

Taylor added, “I want to be the girl that when she falls in love, it’s a big deal and it’s a rare thing.”

She’s always going to be that girl next door type, isn’t she? Would you date Taylor Swift?

Demi Lovato Wants To Be A Role Model

Disney starlet Demi Lovato has really come a long way since quitting the Jonas Brothers tour last year and checking herself into rehab.

Now, she says that she wants to be a role model. In a new interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which is set to air on Tuesday, Demi said, “There was nobody out there for me to look at and say maybe this is unhealthy.”

She went on to say, “I want to be that for a 13-year old girl at home deciding whether or not to eat dinner, or an 18-year-old girl deciding whether or not to keep her breakfast down.”

She also discussed finishing treatment, saying, “It was the time in the tabloids when very, very skinny girls were on the cover of every magazine, and that’s what I was looking up to. That’s what I had to idolize. I don’t want that for young girls to idolize.”

She went on to say, “So many things were going great in my life, and then all of a sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds. I had a negative breakdown and it changed my life forever.”

She added, “But if I hadn’t gone into treatment. I know know if, one, I’d even be sitting here today, or two, if I’d be alive today.”

Kudos to Demi Lovato for changing her life around!

Robert Pattinson reveals school suspension

Breaking Dawn actor Robert Pattinson revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that he was once suspended from school! What makes matters worse is that it was all because of a good deed that he’d done! Go figure!

He said, “Everyone used to chuck snails at each other at school and I used to try and save them. And not only did I get in trouble for it, I got suspended for doing it. For saving the snails. I kept about four or five hundred of them at the back of the class – in Snail Land.”

He continued, “We were like six or seven or something, people didn’t even realize what they were doing. I had a strange compassion for snails. And the teacher just chucked them all in the trash in the end.”

That sucks!

Robert Pattinson discusses underwear with Ellen DeGeneres

Breaking Dawn actor Robert Pattinson appears on today’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and what did they talk about??? Underwear, of course!

Rob was filming a scene for Water For Elephants and was down to his last pair of underwear, which happened to be the pair that Ellen gave him.

He said, “I only had one pair left and they were ‘those ones’. We were doing this big fight scene and for some reason I think the shape of my body, my back is too long or something. So my a** is constantly hanging out!”

He went on to reveal, “Every single shot we were doing this big fight and every shot has these Ellen underpants. It came to a point where producers are calling up my agent going, ‘I don’t know what he is up to, but I don’t like it!’”

Too funny!

Kim Cattrall intimidates men

Kim Cattrall starred as seductress Samantha Jones in the Sex And The City franchise and says that her alter ego might be putting men off.

She’s 54 and in the market for finding Mr. Right, but says Samantha has caused a bit of a problem for her. In a recent interview, she talked with Ellen DeGeneres about the subject.

She talked about her quest to find a man, saying, “It’s very difficult.” Ellen replied, “I would think that it would be difficult, that men would be intimidated.”

To that, Kim said, “A little bit. Yeah. Writing a book about the female orgasm didn’t help my dating career either! Men like to think that they know it all, especially in that department.”

Guys, are you intimidated by Kim Cattrall??

Ellen DeGeneres teases Selena Gomez about Justin Bieber

Back when Selena Gomez appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show last September, she claimed that Justin Bieber was like her little brother, but she came back to the show today — to Ellen’s teasing!

Ellen asked her, “He’s like your little brother? What do you have to say now?”

Selena responded, “I don’t know. I don’t know.” Ellen replied, “Well…. you were trying to hide it still, right? But now you’ve made it public. You went to the Vanity Fair party and made me a fool.”

Selena answered, “No, I really didn’t.” Ellen said, “Yes, you did!”

Selena came back with, “I promise you, I didn’t. He’s just sweet.”

Ellen said, “He is. He’s as sweet as can be. But he’s not like your little brother, is he? No, he’s not. And he’s a fantastic guy. You can’t try to hide that forever. I know you all were sneaking around but that’s crazy. You’re both huge stars, and you can’t hide from us.”

Selena went on to say, “I didn’t lie to you. I didn’t, though. I’ll say that.”

Ellen said, “No, you didn’t blatantly lie. A little brother is not someone you want to date.” Selena said, “Well, no. That would be weird.”

Ellen added, “That would be wrong and weird in so many ways.”

To conclude the interview, Ellen gave Selena a pillow with Justin Bieber’s face on it. How cute!

Ellen DeGeneres auctions off Justin Bieber's hair!

Justin Bieber dropped by Ellen DeGeneres’ TV show earlier to drop off a lock of hair that he’d promised her. The talk show host has placed the hair on eBay to benefit The Gentle Barn.

Here is a description of the charity:

The Gentle Barn Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1999 as a safe haven and place of recovery for abused farm animals and children. We are home to over 120 rescued animals and we are host to at-risk, inner-city and special needs kids.

The auction has already received 32 bids at the time of this writing and is at $1,125. She tweeted about the auction, saying, “My @JustinBieber hair has been up on ebay for an hour and it’s already at $10,000!”

She’s obviously off by a digit, but I don’t doubt the hair fetching that amount for serious fans of the Biebz. You can view the auction and/or bid HERE.

Brad Paisley, AnnaLynne McCord, Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres top our list of the top five celebrities doing good this holiday season.

Brad Paisley

Country singer Brad Paisley has encouraged families to keep the music alive by giving children musical instruments this year. He said that he remembered the most important gift he’d ever received, a guitar from his grandfather.

He said, “He just wanted me to play and wrapped up one of his.” He added, “I hope there’s kids out there getting guitars for Christmas or any instrument for that matter. Nothing changed my life like that Christmas gift when I was eight from my grandfather.”

AnnaLynne McCord

TV actress AnnaLynne McCord is spending her Christmas this year with her sister in Cambodia. They are there to help raise awareness of sex slavery in the country. AnnaLynne tweeted, “Taking off to Cambodia with Angel McCord and 1 of my BFFs, Melissa H. to spend Christmas with @somalymam [Somaly Mam Foundation] and bring Christmas 2 her girls!”

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian and Brittny Gastineau teamed up to pass out gifts to sick kids in the hospital. Toy supplier Hobby Tron donated toys for the occasion. Kim tweeted, “Heading to the LA Children’s Hospital to give out toys! Thank u Hobby Tron for the amazing donation! 500 toys! Wow. Today was a heart warming day!”

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber wrapped up his U.S. tour on Thursday and parked his tour bus outside of the Atlanta, Georgia venue and asked fans to donate toys and games for sick kids at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Center. He joined up with local radio station Q100 to create the Stuff Bieber’s Bus campaign.

He said, “I have such a big platform, it would be silly if I didn’t do something positive with it. I got contacted by their radio station…and they asked us if we wanted to be involved…and it was just something I thought would be really cool.”

Ellen DeGeneres

Not leaving out the nation’s stray pets, Ellen DeGeneres has teamed up with dog food company Halo to deliver one million meals to unwanted dogs.

She said, “At Halo we want to promote healthy living for pets and good food is a big part of that. So, we agreed to donate one million meals of Halo to shelter pets. I mean, imagine, an animal, in a cage, lonely – a good meal is kinda all they have to look forward to, until you adopt them!”

Kudos to all of them for making a difference this holiday season!
