On today’s ‘Ellen DeGeneres Show, host Ellen Degeneres asks Keira Knightley the burning question on everyone’s mind: Why do you love posing nude?
Keira: I don’t know. People ask and I just say yes.
Ellen: You just say ok?
Keira: Yeah, I will learn to say no. At the moment, my friends actually have bets going on that I can’t actually do a photo shoot keeping my clothes on.
Keira adds: I think I find it vaguely liberating, which I hope I don’t become a nudist.
Ellen: You’re on your way.
Keira: I am, I’m on my way.
Ellen: I don’t know why you put on clothes to come to the show.
Keira: Should I take them off now?
Ellen: No, no. We’re daytime.

Indecisive reality hunk Brad Womack, who led two women to the finale of The Bachelor only to not pick either one of them, tells Ellen DeGeneres (who called him a “jerk”) about his decision today.
Brad on why he went home alone: “What I want people to understand is, I know no one is buying this, that it was just as difficult for me. … I knew I was going to put myself in the hot seat by telling both ladies goodbye. But I give you my word: I thought I had made a decision full of integrity by not giving a false promise, especially to Deanna, because we did have something, but not enough to pursue the relationship. I did not take the easy way out. In fact, I took the tough way out in order to show these women respect, in my opinion.”
Brad on if he would ever do it again: “I would do it again, simply because I believe in the fairy tale romance. I am so disappointed that it didn’t happen to me. Of course I’d do it again. Never in a million years would I expect the backlash. I’m having to develop a pretty tough skin. If you’re asking me if I’m going on TV again, never again in my life.”
Brad on whether he’s currently dating anyone: “No I’m not dating at all. I’d like to clear up that rumour. What people don’t understand is that I’m going through a break-up as well. I truly am. I haven’t even thought about dating. I’m keeping to myself. I think if I asked a woman out, she might throw a drink in my face right now. I’ll try to make light of a very tough situation, but I’m not ready to move on.”

Shameless self-promoter Paris Hilton drops by The Ellen Degeneres Show today.
Here are some highlights from the highly enlightening conversation:
Do you get recognized everywhere you go?
Paris: Yeah. (Audience laughs)
Ellen: Do people dress like you … and want to be like you?
Paris: Some of the teen-age girls when they come to the signings, or my appearances, they’ll die their hair blond. They have little Chihuahuas. It’s really cute.
Setting the record straight about drunken elephants
Ellen: How does this happen? Last month..Where did this happen? Someplace overseas. India? This is the quote that’s all over the press from you. “The elephants get drunk all the time and it’s becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them.” Tell me about this.
Paris: I read that too and I was like, how would an elephant get alcohol in the first place. Why would talk about that. Why I care if an elephant got drunk? Can an elephant get drunk? I’ve never talked about that in my life.
Ellen: You’ve never heard about it? Nothing?
Paris: No, I didn’t even know an elephant could get drunk. I don’t even think they can still. They always put words in my mouth all the time.

Style vixen Victoria Beckham makes her first appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today and manages to get sneaker queen Ellen Degeneres into some stilletttos. May-juh!!
Here’s a sneak peek at their interview:
Posh on life in Hollywood: “When we first got here, it was really intense. There was tons of press every single day. And then they kind of figured out that actually we’re quite boring and Britney’s far more interesting and so they go to her house.”
Posh on celebrity friends: “We’ve met some really nice friends. Eva Longoria has been really sweet. When I first moved here I didn’t know anybody. She went with me to get my nails done, my hair done.”
Ellen: (Interrupts) You could have called me, I’ll show you all that stuff.
Posh on more kids: Victoria says her son Romeo wants to follow in her footsteps. “He thinks he’s the next Justin Timberlake.” And she says she’d be happy to have one more child. “I would like a girl. It would be great. It would finish the family off to have a little girl. I think, but I have a big tour coming up and I don’t want to get pregnant.”
Posh on shoes: When Victoria says she “never” wears flat shoes, except for flip-flops around the house.
Ellen: “You’d never wear tennis shoes?”
Victoria: “I think wearing heels makes you feel more confident.”

Check out a baby bump-sporting Ellen DeGeneres dressed up as pregnant songstress Jennifer Lopez for her Halloween special today.
Best costume ever?
If you tune in, you’ll also be able to catch Jennifer Love Hewitt as Alice in Wonderland. Somehow, we figure she’ll do it in a classier manner than Paris Hilton did last weekend.

Everyone loves a good dog story. And Iggygate is no exception.
Ratings for ‘The Ellen DeGeneres’ enjoyed a boost in ratings, says The New York Post, in the aftermath of Ellen’s ridiculous sobfest over little Iggy.
Ratings for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” were up almost 10 percent in the overnight Nielsens for the two days following her emotional breakdown…Those are just the preliminary numbers - the actual number of viewers may be much, much higher.
Meanwhile, The Smoking Gun has published a series of e-mails between Ellen, gal pal Portia de Rossi and Marina Baktis, the dog agency owner.
CLICK HERE to check ‘em out.
Looks like the whole matter can be boiled down to two celebs who are shocked and appaled when they don’t get their way.
Oh, the humanity!

Check out the new issue of Out magazine featuring their first Gay Power list.
Great news for those like Ellen and Rosie who are out, but maybe not so much for Anderson Cooper and Jodie Foster who are the mag’s cover girls.
“It’s a bit of chutzpah on our part,” acknowledges Out editor in chief Aaron Hicklin. But he says it wasn’t just an attempt to stir up controversy. “The A-list and even B-list gays are mostly in the closet still, and those are the kinds of people we need to have on our cover. This is a way of addressing that.”
Meh, I don’t like it one bit. What one chooses to do in their bedroom has nothing to do with one’s profession. Shame on you, Out magazine. You are reaching a new Perez Hiltonian low.
Anyway, to check out the full list, CLICK HERE.
