Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres is the latest celebrity to take Abercrombie & Fitch to task over its CEO's controversial and exclusionary marketing strategy.

The TV host discussed the topic in her monologue, slated to air on May 20.

"The [A&F] CEO announced that his stores will stop selling clothing for women larger than size 10," she said. "You know what I say to that? Oh, Fitch, please!"

Ellen: Abercrombie & Fitch Monologue

"Beauty isn't between a size 0 and a size 8," said Ellen, echoing Kirstie Alley's criticism earlier this week. "It's not a number at all. It's not physical."

"I know a lot of kids watch this show, so I want to say one more thing to you all. What you look like on the outside is not what makes you cool."

Ellen DeGeneres invited Kai, an adorable 4-year-old singer, to perform on her talk show Thursday, and he did not disappoint with his Bruno Mars cover.

The youngster's version of "If I Was Your Man" could use a little polish in post-production, but look at him work the crowd like a seasoned veteran!

Kai on Ellen

With the fedora and button up, he's basically Bruno Mars' mini-me. Somebody's got to arrange an intro between these two ASAP. Ellen, you on that?

It's not Kai's first trip to Ellen. He first caught her attention by singing another Bruno song, "Grenade," in a video that went viral online. See it below:

American Idol Season 12 comes to a close next week.

But with ratings in a free fall and change undoubtedly on the way, talk is already heating up over who should judge American Idol Season 13.

And following his stint as a mentor last Wednesday, many are asking: Will Harry Connick Jr. join the panel in 2014?

"I had a good time mentoring," the singer told Ellen DeGeneres yesterday before serenading her with a song (below), adding: "Judging is a whole different deal… I haven't talked to anybody [about it]."

What do YOU think? Should Harry Connick Jr. judge American Idol?

Count Ellen DeGeneres among those with their full support behind Jason Collins.

Following the NBA center's reveal that he's gay, the talk show hosted opened her program yesterday with appreciation for such a courageous step.

Joked Ellen: "It was more challenging for him. He is 7-feet-tall so when he came out of the closet he had to duck."

But she then turned serious and added:

"I applaud you, Jason Collins, I applaud you. That is a very brave man. I would high-five you but I don’t think I can reach you. But when I see you, I am gonna hug your knees so hard."

On the other side of this news, ESPN's Chris Broussard has made headlines for appearing on Outside the Lines and labeling homosexuality a sin.

Gwyneth Paltrow stopped by Ellen this week to discuss a couple of pressing topics.

How did she react to being named People's Most Beautiful Woman?

"It was actually psychologically interesting," Paltrow annoying said. "Because for a minute I really thought that someone was playing a joke on me. I talked about it with my shrink.”

And what about that atrocious sheer dress the actress donned for this week's Iron Man 3 premiere?

Paltrow got even more personal in that response: "Let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor. So I went from being the most beautiful to the most humiliated in one day."

Ellen DeGeneres is famous for pranking guests, but when Dennis Quaid comes on, it's a little different. He teams up with her and they prank strangers!

This week, she had Dennis fake a series of health issues - some of which aren't even possible - just to have fun with a nurse on set. Safe to say it worked.

Dennis Quaid Prank on Ellen

From lung problems to shrinking, the actor had the unassuming nurse run through a variety of utterly ridiculous tests - with Ellen's guidance of course.

The poor nurse didn't even realize what was going on when the reveal finally came. Gotta hand it to her for remaining professional throughout all of that.

This is not the first time Ellen and Dennis have teamed up for some hidden camera hijinks. Watch more of their hilarious moments in recent years below:
