This Week on The Ellen Show! August 23-27

Monday, August 23
WATCH TO WIN A TV!

Ellen blindfolded him years before she started blindfolding her audience contestants — now TED DANSON is back! He’s on the HBO series “Bored to Death,” but don’t worry, he’s anything but boring! (Last time, he accidentally brought red high heels!) Also, ANNA TORV is on the show for the first time to talk about her show, “Fringe.” There must have been good chemistry on-set for the first season — she married one of her co-stars! Then, one of Ellen’s very favorite musicians, MAXWELL, will be performing. His latest album, “BLACK summers’ night,” is his first in eight years, and this is his first time on the show! If you haven’t heard of him, don’t miss his performance of “Pretty Wings”! He’s incredible!

DREW BARRYMORE

It seems like DREW BARRYMORE is always doing something new! Most recently, she directed her first movie, “Whip It,” in which she also stars. Drew’s always a fun guest — when she was on the show before, Ellen made her guess the mystery word “mushroom” and it took forever! (We still don’t know why she thought moss was a pizza topping…) Today Ellen will have another fun game ready for her! Then, what does Ellen have in common with four tattooed, motorcycle-riding guys? They all love animals! The incredible group RESCUE INK will be on to talk about the amazing work they do. When these tough guys hear that a pet is being abused, they confront the owner and rescue the animal on the spot! They’re like guardian angels for dogs! Also, Ellen has another group of brave people who will show their embarrassing photos — which means it’s time for Bad Paid-For Photos — Live!

Wednesday, August 25
PAM ANDERSON

Whenever PAMELA ANDERSON is here, Ellen knows something crazy is going to happen! In the past, she’s flipped over the furniture and stripped down to a bikini. Who knows what she’ll do today? One thing we do know — she’ll tell everyone about her perfume, “Malibu.” There are actually two fragrances; one for “elegant nights” and one for “playful days.” Obviously, Ellen wears both. Then, we all know that kids are our future, so today Ellen is giving you a glimpse of our future gadgets when she welcomes some kid inventors. They’ll be showing off their amazing new inventions, so don’t miss it!

Thursday, August 26
ROBERT PATTINSON

Today is the day! He’s finally here, the hottest man on the planet right now — ROBERT PATTINSON! The gorgeous guy has been stealing the hearts of women across the world since he played the vampire Edward in “Twilight.” He is literally being mobbed everywhere he goes. Today he’s coming here and Ellen can’t wait! Also, last year Ellen met a 13-year-old fiddler named JUSTUS RIVERA after Ashton Kutcher tweeted about him. He’s self-taught and plays on the streets of Philadelphia to help support his family. You have to see him to believe it.

Friday, August 27
PENELOPE CRUZ

Ellen loved KRIS ALLEN when he was on “American Idol” last year, and she’s not the only one. A record number of votes were cast and he won. Now, he’s stopping by to perform “Live Like We’re Dying.” If it’s anything like his cover of Kanye’s “Heartless,” you won’t want to miss it! Then, the beautiful Oscar-winning PENELOPE CRUZ is here to chat with Ellen. Last time she was here, Ellen told her she thought Penelope would win the Oscar for “Vicky Christina Barcelona” — and she did. Then Penelope delivered another amazing performance in the movie “Broken Embraces.” Plus, Ellen has another batch of hilarious web videos.

“Dr. Laura” Quits Radio After Realizing It’s Not OK To Use The “N-Word”

In case you haven’t been following, last week, radio talk show veteran Dr. Laura Schlessinger used what we’ll call “a racially-charged expletive referring to African Americans” a bunch of times on her show. Then she apologized for it.

But blogging an apology for using the N-word (while giving advice to a black caller on the air) isn’t really enough, right?

Right! Which is why Schlessinger announced on “Larry King Live” last night that she has decided to end her 30-year career in radio. Though she said she’s “not retiring” altogether.

Watch her interview with King below:

Monday, August 16

FELICITY HUFFMAN

There are a lot of guests on today’s show, and most of them are coming with JACK HANNA! He’ll be here with an amazing assortment of animals: bears, toucans, camels and slow lorises (he may have made up that last one)! You won’t want to miss what he’s bringing today. You’re also not gonna want to miss FELICITY HUFFMAN. The “Desperate Housewives” star is sure to have plenty of housewife drama to talk about! Last time she was here, she told Ellen that she loves to play games, so she’d better be ready for a challenge! Then, the incredible ROGER DALTREY is stopping by. He’s been all over the world with The Who, and recently went on a “Use It or Lose It” tour, and is stopping by to perform “I Can See for Miles“!

DAVID SPADE

Today Ellen is going to introduce you to a 10-year-old girl who is already making an impact on the world. Her name is ANNABELLE HELD, and she started a dog treat business — but instead of keeping the profits, she donates them to an animal shelter in her hometown of Marietta, Georgia! Then, Ellen’s friend, the hilarious DAVID SPADE, is also doing an amazing thing. He’s been a big supporter of firefighters here in L.A., and to thank them for their hard work, he invited hundreds of firefighters to a free comedy show. He’ll be here to share more about this really cool event. Also, JOHN C. REILLY will be here for the first time! Ellen can’t believe he hasn’t been here yet, but today the talented actor will finally chat with her. He’s been in some of the best movies, like “Chicago,” “Gangs of New York” and “The Hours.” And, if you haven’t heard MIKA, you’ll want to see him on today’s show. He’s from London, and after his first album he was compared with Freddie Mercury, Elton John and Prince. He released his second album, “The Boy Who Knew Too Much,” and will perform his hit “Blame It on the Girls.”

Wednesday, August 18

DAKOTA FANNING

Ellen has been watching DAKOTA FANNING grow into a beautiful young woman over the years, and Ellen feels like she’s responsible for Dakota’s success. Dakota once played a younger version of Ellen on her sitcom — and she’s been in one of the biggest movies of the year, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” She gets to work with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner… we’re sure she’ll thank Ellen when she’s on the show today. Then, Ellen has more huge surprises for her home viewers — you won’t want to miss what she’s got planned for today! Also Ellen will make sure to tweet SEAN “DIDDY COMBS before he arrives. He was the one who introduced her to Twitter — and now she has almost 5 million followers! Ellen once made him try to identify his Ciroc Vodka in a blind taste test. He got drunk. He still got it right though. Now they’ve introduced Ciroc Coconut and Ciroc Red Berry — Ellen just might make him taste test both flavors.

Thursday, August 19

JON HAMM

Today Ellen is surprising one lucky viewer with a massive surprise: a trip to L.A. to see the show, and a brand new GMC Terrain! Then, you won’t want to take your eyes off the screen when the sexy JON HAMM is here. You can buy Jon for yourself; this summer, Barbie released a doll based on his character from “Mad Men!” Also, Ellen did it again: she predicted the latest Bachelorette! ALI FEDOTOWSKY is stopping by to share some of the details. And the amazing NATASHA BEDINGFIELD is here. She’s releasing her new album soon, but today she’s giving everyone a preview when she sings one her songs, “Touch.”

Friday, August 20

MARTIN SHORT

Ellen has only the best today, and it’s a show you don’t want to miss! First, Ellen welcomes one of the funniest guys around — MARTIN SHORT! He created some of the most memorable moments on “Saturday Night Live,” and is back on TV with a role on “Damages.” Then, legendary film producer JERRY WEINTRAUB has been working in entertainment for over 50 years — and he sure has a lot of stories. He’s sharing the best of them in his new memoir, “When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead,” and will stop by to tell Ellen all about it. Also, country star GRETCHEN WILSON will perform her song “Work Hard, Play Harder.” And you never know who else will drop by today!
