Week of March 21, 2010 - March 27, 2010

He's suave, he's sexy, and he's on the show -- PIERCE BROSNAN is visiting Ellen today. He's more than just a good looking guy -- he's also quite the family man, and even won a Young Hollywood Award for being a Hollywood role model! St. Patrick's Day was last week, and Ellen will find out if the Irish actor did anything to celebrate his home country. Then, after 500,000 joined a Facebook group begging for it, BETTY WHITE is going to host "Saturday Night Live," but not before coming here first! It's been almost four years since she's been on the show, so Betty and Ellen have a lot of catching up to do! Also, Ellen has been introducing you to great musicians from all across the world, and today she invited MELANIE FIONA to perform her Grammy-nominated song, "It Kills Me." And as Ellen's trip to Universal Orlando Resort nears, she's still giving away chances to join her. Today she'll let two audience members battle it out for the big prize -- in a competition you don't want to miss!

Ellen's friend KRISTIN CHENOWETH is so funny and incredibly talented. She's an amazing actress, and now she's returning to the Broadway stage in the musical "Promises, Promises." Ellen feels she helped Kristin get there, since Kristin starred in "Ellen: The Musical"! Or it may have been her role in "Wicked." Kristin always seems to have a new story about her hair -- last time she told Ellen how she accidentally lit it on fire! Ellen will have the fire extinguisher ready before the interview. Then, THE BIRD AND THE BEE have had two successful albums and their music has been featured in a variety of movies and television shows. Now, with their new album, they're paying tribute to the classic group Hall & Oates and will perform one of their greatest hits today.

It's hard to believe that GERARD BUTLER could be any sexier, but he's become even hotter since his last time on the show! If looks aren't enough for you, how about the fact that he saved a stranger's life? He once saved a boy from drowning! When he's not saving lives, he's hard at work... he has two movies coming out; "The Bounty Hunter" and "How to Train Your Dragon," but he made sure to find time to visit Ellen! Plus, Ellen has been introducing you to new music all month long and she has another great artist on the show today. DIANE BIRCH is here to perform "Valentino" from her album "Bible Belt."

Just like Ellen, JACKIE CHAN does all his own stunts! He shows what he's got in the movie, "Spy Next Door," and will be dropping by to chat with Ellen today. Ellen will make sure to hide the expensive china -- one time he broke her vases! She broke something too... a bottle over his head! Then, you know ANNA KENDRICK from the "Twilight" movies, and she recently co-starred with none other than George Clooney in the Oscar-nominated film, "Up in the Air." When she visits Ellen today, the two will swap their favorite Clooney stories! And Ellen has some of the best web videos ever that will keep you laughing all day long!

There's really only one way to say it -- DENNIS QUAID is here! Actually, he says it better. Ellen's favorite hidden-camera prankster returns today -- and who knows what he'll get himself involved with this time?! First he'll give Ellen all the details on his movie, "Legion." Then, from the hilarious show "Modern Family," SOFIA VERGARA is stopping by. Sofia is from Columbia, so Ellen has a great idea how she can help Ellen's Quest for World Domination with a simple long-distance phone call! Then, everybody was talking about "The Bachelor" contestant MICHELLE. She'll be doing some talking of her own today when she sits down with Ellen and gives her all the behind-the-scenes details!
