Ellen's good friend COURTENEY COX ARQUETTE is on the show today! Last time, Courteney told Ellen she didn't have any stories to share, but we're sure she'll have plenty to talk about with her show "Cougar Town"! She's one of the few people who embrace their age rather than lie about it. Speaking of lies, RICKY GERVAIS is starring in the new movie, "The Invention of Lying." The hilarious British comedian will be on the show for the first time! (It's true... we swear!) Also, if you haven't heard of JESSIE JAMES, you will soon! She's being compared to Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood, but you can decide for yourself when she performs the song "Wanted" from her album.
