Ellen DeGeneres

Continuing his apology publicity tour, Jason Mesnick insists he never cheated on The Bachelor winner Melissa Rycroft with runner-up Molly Malaney before he publicly dumped the former for the latter on the "After the Final Rose" special.

It's not easy being "the most hated man in America right now," or so Jason said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this morning, where he offered this to fans:

"I think what I want to do is to apologize to everybody out there. All the fans of the show because thank you for watching, but this was my real life."

"It was the hardest thing I've had to do," Jason said of the controversial switcheroo.

"I made some big mistakes and that's what I wanted to sit here and talk about today - the mistakes I made. But in the end I found my true love."

He also expressed regret over telling Melissa Rycroft on camera about Molly (Melissa said Jason lied about her yesterday in her own interview on Ellen).

"I completely regret doing that," Mesnick said with seeming sincerity and Molly Malaney by his side. "I regretted it every single day since that happened."

"I will regret it every day for the rest of my life. The producers obviously really wanted me to do it on the show, but I take responsibility for my actions."

After a tumultuous and "historic" season finale of The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney say they are extremely happy. Melissa Rycroft? Not so much.

On today's Ellen DeGeneres Show, M-Ry is speaking out for the first time about being dispatched by her Bachelor fiance on national TV and how hurt she was when she discovered that he had been dating runner-up Molly.

When did things fall apart? Melissa says "it was pretty immediate" after the finale that Jason Mesnick realized he didn't want to be with her.

"Once we got back to the real world, we were talking about how [our relationship] was different. He kind of gave up, and I couldn't understand why at the time. Now I do - because I think there was someone else involved."

"And that is where my feelings of betrayal came in," Melissa Rycroft added.

Melissa says their engagement did not end on TV, as it may have appeared to viewers who saw him propose 25 seconds prior, but Jason was still dishonest.

The chemistry between these two faded fast after the finale.

"I knew on the night After the Final Rose [aired], I wasn't getting dumped. We had already ended the relationship and that was mutual."

"I repeatedly asked Jason, 'Is Molly involved in anything?' And when they moved up the taping of the After the Final Rose special [to January], I was thinking to myself, 'Why did we move the taping up? What's going on?'"

"I asked Jason, 'Am I going to be blind-sided by anything? Is there anything you want to tell me?' And he said, 'No, gosh no.' And the second I went out on that stage, he goes, 'P.S. it is Molly.' And I went, 'Bastard!'"

Even as Jason Mesnick initially denied he was dating Molly Malaney, Melissa Rycroft had a hunch something was going on with them.

Below is the full segment of Britney Spears and Ellen Degeneres, on the latter's talk show, surprising people with Christmas caroling and general holiday cheer.

It is truly magical, and actually pretty funny, even if Ellen may be the better singer. It's worth watching, if only to see DeGeneres blurt out, "It's Britney, bitch."

Sorry, Miley Cyrus.

Until you publicly acknowledge your relationship with Justin Gaston, you'll continue to receive questions about it during appearances. The latest came during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.

Sadly, the grilling merely led to a feeble quote from Cyrus regarding her older boyfriend, in which she listed his occupation, physical appeal and religion:

"He's a singer, he's really cute and he's nice. He's a Christian and I really like that."

Thanks, Miley. Based on that description, you could date any of The Jonas Brothers...

Audrina Patridge says she has yet to get any answers from Lauren Conrad or the great Justin "Bobby" Brescia about recent rumors that they hooked up.

"She hung up on me and that was my way of making an effort and asking her," Patridge recalled on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I've never accused anymore. I just straight out asked if they did it or not. I don't know what to believe."

Although Lauren Conrad denied any fling, Justin-Bobby "kind of avoided the whole question and turned it back on me, like typical guy," Audrina said.

Watch Audrina's interview - with DeGeneres holding up flash cards with The Hills cast members' faces so the audience doesn't get confused - below:

Funny stuff. Follow the jump for a second clip of Ellen sending Audrina Patridge (and her presumably fake boobs) into a dunk tank for charity:

Sorry, Sarah Palin. Your church may believe gays can be converted into heterosexuals through the power of prayer (really, it does; look it up!) - but The Hollywood Gossip staff stands firmly behind gay marriage.

With that in mind, we're proud to present this wedding video of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

The couple got married on August 16 and we couldn't be happier for them!

Attention, celebrities:

This is how you blog! In a message to her fans on her official website, Ellen DeGeneres was hilarious in describing her post-nuptials state:

“I had a big, big weekend. I got married to Portia de Rossi! Sorry, John Stamos… this one’s taken.

You may notice something different about the way I’m writing…it’s fancy. This is the font I type in now that I’m MARRIED! I do a lot of things differently now …I say ‘I do’ a lot. For example: Who wants to do pilates? I do. Would you like a Mountain Dew? I do. Do you know why I pulled you over? I do. And that was just this morning.

The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could’ve invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8th. I can’t wait to see them too…it was all a blur. See you then.”

Say hello to Mrs. Portia de Rossi.

It's official:

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are married.

"Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles," their spokesperson said in a statement, confirming the plans Ellen had announced on her talk show in May.

DeGeneres and de Rossi each wore Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane during the Saturday ceremony. Nineteen guests were in attendance.

We now pronounce you wife and wife: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

According to reports, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will get married this weekend in California.

Us Weekly was the first to run the story, stating that the couple is planning an intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.

Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres are on track to be pronounced wife and wife.

Following the California Supreme Court's historic ruling that same sex couple's have the "right to marry," DeGeneres announced she planned to wed the former Arrested Development actress on a taping of her show in May.

"It's something that we've wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited," DeGeneres said.

de Rossi and DeGeneres may have company at the altar this weekend. Other reports have said Beth Ostrosky and Howard Stern were set to tie the knot on Saturday.

Ellen DeGeneres and John McCain may have gotten into a smackdown over her plans to marry partner Portia DeRossi, but there's another Republican who is far less abrasive - and even willing to help with the nuptials:

Jenna Hager (a.k.a. Jenna Bush)!

The first daughter, who got married May 10 at the Bush family compound in Crawford, Texas, appears with her mother, Laura Bush, on next Wednesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Looks like they're having fun ...

Mrs. Henry Hager and the future Mrs. Portia de Rossi share a laugh.

Among the topics of discussion, of course, will be Jenna's wedding to Henry Hager, with the bride even showing off some new reception photos.

Said Ellen DeGeneres: "So, the ranch was a great place to get married - it looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures of you, really."

"Yeah," concurred Jenna Hager, "it was really nice." Ellen responded: "So, can we borrow it for our wedding, can we get the ranch?"
