It should really be the opposite. We should celebrate you every day. Except for one day, so you don’t get a big head.... Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there! We only give you one day a year. It should really be the opposite. We should celebrate you every day. Except for one day, so you don’t get a big head. Where would we be without mothers? We wouldn’t be anywhere because no one would be born. Even mothers wouldn’t be here because their mothers wouldn’t be here. And their mothers and their mothers... it would just be a world filled with sea horses.

One day a year, we give our moms flowers and a card to show we understand how much they do for us, but most of the time we take them for granted. Being a mom is a lot of sacrifice and pain from the get-go. The moment you enter the world, you cause her pain. Agony, really. I have trouble getting my i-Pod earphones out of my ears… I can’t even imagine childbirth. You come out screaming and crying. Then you’re crawling around and putting things in your mouth. Then you learn the word, “NO.” And you become rebellious. Soon you’re hanging out with wrong crowd and start smoking Pall Malls. You hop on the rail cars and live the life of the hobo... then I turned 15. OH MAMA! I’M SORRY YOUR BABY’S SO BAD, MAMA!

Moms put up with so much. And all they do is love you unconditionally. They’re always there for you. And they love you for who you are. Even if they do wish you’d wear a dress once in a while.

Can you think of a better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than to challenge SEAN COMBS to a vodka taste test and to play another hilariously messy game of Deep Dish Dig? (We couldn't find any tequila and couldn't figure a way to do Deep Tostada Dig.) Sean has a new vodka, "Ciroc," so I challenged him to see if he could tell his vodka from a bunch of other shots of vodka. (He didn't know that my shot glasses were filled with water!) I can't wait for you to see the dramatic results! We'll also talk about his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and his amazing performance in "A Raisin in the Sun." Then, the latest American Idol to be eliminated, BROOKE WHITE, will join me. We'll talk about her disappointing loss, then she's going to sing for us and show us all once again why she made it to the Top 5! By the way, Brooke brings along her husband who vowed to not cut his hair as long as Brooke was on Idol... I don't know why he allowed me cut it. He should have known better. I'm not a barber. He shouldn't worry too much. It'll grow back eventually. Plus, in an exclusive TV appearance, JOHN LEGEND will introduce his newest discovery, ESTELLE! They're going to perform "American Boy" from Estelle's fantastic debut CD, "Shine." You're gonna love this show, I promise!

For the first time in "Ellen" history, we're going to Chicago! You have to tune in to see how we shake up that toddling town! Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley will be there. (I hope that he brings the key to the city... unless they have a combination lock.) We're going to do the show outside, right in the middle of everything (Michigan Ave. at the river), and the second city will never be the same! Can you think of a better travel companion than the one and only Academy Award-winning ROBIN WILLIAMS? It's going to be so much fun, I can hardly wait! Did I mention that in a television exclusive, American Idol cast-offs MICHAEL JOHNS and CARLY SMITHSON will be performing a duet with Ricky Minor and the American Idol Band? You heard me, Michael and Carly together! Plus, we're going to do some sightseeing and you know that I'm going to get into some kind of hilarious trouble, so mark it down on your calendar: "Tuesday, meet Ellen in Chicago!"

Wednesday we're back home, and even though we were only gone for a day, we've got an amazing homecoming show waiting for us! Remember that story I told you? The one about West Oregon University's SARA TUCHOLSKY, who hit her first home run ever, but tore a ligament in her knee so MALLORY HOLTMAN and LIZ WALLACE from the opposing team (Central Washington University) picked her up and carried her the rest of the way around the bases? Well, these heroes are going to be here to tell us their wonderful story in person. Plus, my good friend, the only person in the world who could take over for Bob Barker, DREW CAREY will be here. I'm sure he's got some more hysterical behind the scenes "Price Is Right" stories. We'll also talk about his prime time "Price Is Right" specials, and we're going to play a genuine "Price Is Right" game right on my show! Then, one of my favorite performers ever, the incredibly talented, ALICIA KEYS will pop in. We'll talk about her current tour, those marriage rumors, then Alicia will perform "Teenage Love Affair" from her hit CD, "As I Am!" And we've got some brand new jaw-dropping web videos that you just have to see!

I also invited her to drop by my show Thursday -- I cant wait for you to meet her and I can't wait for you to see how surprised she is when she gets a phone call from her favorite musician, Kenny Chesney! Plus, I swear I'm not punking you when I tell you that my friend, Hollywood prankster and troublemaker ASHTON KUTCHER will be stopping by. Demi's out of town aking a movie and Ashton's playing Mr. Mom. We'll check to see if the kids are all right. I'm sure that I'll ask some super personal questions about him and Demi. I also want to know about his new movie with Cameron Diaz, "What Happens in Vegas." (The previews are hilarious.) And, I'm going to put him on the spot and make him sing a Night Ranger song. Plus, one of my favorite guys with a piano, GAVIN DEGRAW will perform "In Love with a Girl" from his amazing upcoming CD, "Gavin DeGraw."

Speaking of new mothers, the gorgeous and talented JESSICA ALBA will be stopping by. As many of you know, Jessica is with child. (She's due this summer!) We'll talk about her upcoming motherhood and her wonderful new movie, "The Love Guru." She stars with Mike Myers, and it's supposed to be a summer blockbuster! And, what would Mother's Day be without some hilarious web videos?
