Ellen Degeneres is a busy lady and now with the next couple of years with American Idol and now signing on for another three seasons (bringing the show to 2014 now) she is not going to be slowing down any time soon. Ellen looked like the one that needed to always be doing something and now she will get to.

“I’m so excited to sign on for three more years at NBC. They were the ones that believed in my show from day one. So, I’m thrilled to know I’ll be here till at least 2014. Things will be a lot different by then. I won’t be dancing over my coffee table anymore. Through the magic of 3-D, I’ll be dancing over yours.”

I know that I can’t wait to see what else she has in store. Ellen is my favorite talk show of all of them.

Jessica Simpson opened up to Glamour for the September 2009 issue of the magazine. It was of course before her break-up with Tony Romo so it’s probably filled with love and admiration for him. Here are the highlights:

Jessica on Recovering From Her Divorce From Nick Lachey: “It was hard to imagine I would ever walk down the aisle again,” she says. “It was like a death in the family: You go through the mourning stage, then the rebellion, and then all of a sudden you have to find life by yourself. Once you do that, you feel complete — and that’s the only time you can truly fall in love again, and give yourself over completely to another person.”

Jessica on Body Image: “It’s not fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe about beauty. I’ve been through it myself and understand the pressures. We’re all facing the same struggles together, whether you’re a celebrity or not.”

Jessica Explains Her Work Ethic: “I’m never going to be a woman who doesn’t work. At 12 I was emancipated from my parents so I could sign my first record deal. I think I was born working!”
