Ellen DeGeneres

This is one of the funniest, sweetest, most honest videos you'll ever see of a celebrity.

During an appearance on Ellen this week, House of Lies star Kristen Bell first explains that she's often an emotional wreck; if she gets remotely sad or happy - say, below a level three or above a seven - the tears simply flow.

She then goes to detail one example of just such blubbery: when boyfriend Dax Shepard presented her with a sloth for her 31st birthday last summer, an event/breakdown actually captured on camera, snippets of which are shared in the following clip.

It's both hilarious and sort of touching. Watch now and fall even more in love with the gorgeous actress:

Cutest happy birthday greetings ever?

Darn close if not. Ellen DeGeneres celebrated her 54th on Thursday and to mark the big occasion, Pink sent in a video message to her friend the talk show host.

With daughter Willow in tow!

"Hi Ellen. I love you, I love you, I love you," she said from her yard. "I wish you this year freedom, love, laughter, sleeping in late, getting lots of rest."

From there, the singer went inside, where adorable 8-month-old daughter Willow (dad is husband Carey Hart) was waiting to say hello. Awww!

Courtney Robertson has Ben Flajnik wrapped around her finger on The Bachelor, according to viewer Ellen DeGeneres, who bluntly told Ben as much today.

If you missed Monday's episode, you missed a good two hours of drama, tears and Courtney pursing her lips and doing whatever it takes to get her way.

Ellen seemed to catch on, and she had a few words for Ben Flajnik regarding that model from Santa Monica who doesn't seem to be popular with fans:

Ben Flajnik on Ellen

"She manipulated you to try and get that rose. She said, 'Oh, I don't know how I feel.' Then you went and got the rose and gave it to her. That was not right."

Judging by the applause, the audience agreed with Ellen, who added:

"She may be a lovely person and you're probably engaged to her, but the thing is, the way that it was edited she came off not nice, and I could be wrong."

"I know it's not fair to judge someone like that, but she was just playing you... man. She was playing you. Saying all the things you wanted to hear."

Damn, son. Ben can't reveal much, of course, but did admit it would have been nice to have a mole telling him what went on in the mansion. Ellen's response:

"All right, I'm going to find you a nice girl because that didn't work."

As for her comment that Ben is "probably engaged to her," see our Bachelor spoilers page for what sources are saying about the season's endgame.

Mere hours after Heidi Klum and Seal confirmed their divorce, interviews between Seal and Ellen DeGeneres (airing today) and PBS' Tavis Smiley (Friday) hit the web.

The topic of his separation was not off the table. Not even close.

About to embark on a new album tour, Seal is more than willing to openly speak about what shocked us - and himself, apparently. "I think we were shocked," he said.

"You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say 'I do' and you say ''Till death do us part.' Those vows hold value," the singer told Ellen.

"They are not just words. These things happen. We pretty much said how we feel and made it clear in the release statement."

"But, for intents and purposes of this show, you just grow apart after awhile. You try and you work through it and the thing that you quickly realize when you are married and you become a parent is you do the best that you can."

"It makes you actually appreciate your parents a lot more."

Michael Jackson's lasting advice to his only daughter was simple.

"He said, 'If I die tomorrow, always remember what I told you.' I took his advice, and I remembered everything he told me," Paris Jackson, 13, told Ellen DeGeneres.

The King of Pop shaped Paris' life in fundamental ways, from her desire to pursue acting to far more important lessons, she reveals in the interview, airing Thursday.

Here's a clip of Paris Jackson on Ellen:

"My dad was in the movie Moonwalker; 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,'" says Paris.

The female Jackson recently scored her first film role. A family rep confirmed she has a role in the upcoming fantasy movie Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.

"We would do improv together," she adds. "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."

The Justin Bieber baby scandal appears to be over, especially considering the recent text messages from Mariah Yeater that have been made public.

But the last couple weeks still have not been easy on Selena Gomez, as the singer admitted to this week in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.

The talk show host broached the topic of Selena's boyfriend and his surrounding drama in a chat that will air today. As the excerpts below make clear, it's not something Gomez has enjoyed dealing with.

DeGeneres: "I have to ask before we talk about anything else. What a crazy last two weeks it's been in the news."
Gomez: "To say the least."
DeGeneres: "You've been all right?"
Gomez: "I have been, yeah."
DeGeneres: "Everything's all good now. You knew that all along but it's nice to have everything out in the open now."
Gomez: "Yeah, it's good to just kind of...be good."
DeGeneres: "It's hard. It's hard to deal with all that stuff."
Gomez: "Yeah, it's not easy.

Ellen also asks Selena about her man's pants situation, a problem made clear this week when the artist almost mooned folks in England. Gomez didn't seem comfortable talking about Bieber's underwear, either, simply responding that Justin doesn't listen when she tells him to hike his drawers up.

Will "The One That Got Away" be Katy Perry's sixth straight #1 hit?

She hopes so, and thinks today's video release date might be good luck.

On Ellen DeGeneres' show this morning, Katy noted that if you took six #1's and lined them up, you'd get 11/11/11. We totally didn't think of that earlier.

Check out the video, which debuted during her interview with Ellen, and see if you think it's up there with some of her other recent, instant pop hits:

Katy Perry - The One That Got Away (on Ellen)

Not bad, huh? She sure does love dressing up in elaborate costumes.

On a really cool note, Perry announced that she will be holding a special free concert at Staples Center in Los Angeles for all her fans on November 23! Free!

Switching gears, she says she wants to start "poppin' kids left and right" before long.

"As long as it doesn't hurt the first time. I'll keep popping them out," Katy claims.

So basically, she and Russell are only gonna have one kid, but it'll be cute!

Turns out, it actually does get cuter than watching Sophia Grace Brownlee cover "Super Bass."

The five-year old has grown into a viral sensation due to this video of her making like Nicki Minaj, an adorable stunt that led to an appearance by Sophia on Ellen this week... and to the shock of little Sophia's life.

Watch below as Minaj surprises both the audience and, most importantly, her biggest fan:

“Within five seconds of seeing this video, I was calling everyone I knew and I was also receiving a billion emails,” Nicki told DeGeneres. “Everyone is like, ‘You have to see this little girl.’ She blew me away!”

Yes, they still do.

On an episode of Ellen that airs today - check our local listings! - Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries renew their nearly two-month old wedding vows.

We'd typically make endless fun of such a ridiculous cry for more attention, but DeGeneres officiated this pretend ceremony and cracked us up when she advised Kim to repeat after her:

“I take Kris to be my husband and co-star, to love and honor you to always put you first - or at least above Khloe, but below Kourtney!”

Of course, Kim then had to go ahead and ruin everything by being a total liar once again. Asked what she'd change about her and her man's big day, Kardashian said she'd "elope." Right. Does ANYone believe that? We have about $17 million reasons not to.

LeAnn Rimes has spent much of this year sparring with her weight critics, be they her own Twitter followers, celebrity gossip sites or even fellow stars.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, the singer says she feels like a victim of bullies - in this case the media - in the wake of the constant speculation.

"I’ve kind of gotten over it when it comes to myself," she said, criticizing those who mock her because it's insulting to people with real eating disorders.

"These are diseases. Using them as name calling, it’s almost bullying. I feel for people are actually going through these diseases. I’m not one of them."

Asked by Ellen if she's "not anorexic in any way or bulimic at all," Rimes said, "No, I am not but I do feel like the press … they’ve been very irresponsible."

"Calling a lot of people fat or anorexic or bulimic or whatever it may be, it just seems like bullying now," Rimes said, "instead of really taking these diseases seriously that a lot of people are going through."

"That’s good that you got to clear that up," DeGeneres said.

Her husband, Eddie Cibrian, defended Rimes earlier this week, calling his spouse a workout fiend with a very healthy appetite, and the rumors revolving around her body irritate him as "she eats more than I do sometimes!"
