Craig and company are back with another opening number. This time they are taking on Hanson and “MMMBop”. Only watch the video if you want to hear the song in your head for the rest of the day.
This morning marked the premiere of season 7 of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and she truly outdid herself with the opening dance. To celebrate having been a guest judge on “So You Think You Can Dance”, Ellen did a number with the Top 10 of this past season. Check it out below:
I’ll jump on the bandwagon! This video has been everywhere today and deservedly so. Can you imagine what the reception was like? 
The bride and groom were on the “Today Show” this morning (see clip below) and the whole wedding party will be on the show tomorrow (Saturday, 7-25) to recreate the dance.

Squeal! David, Shaun and Patrick Cassidy were all on “Good Morning America” today to promote their new show on ABC Family called “Ruby and the Rockits”. It premieres tomorrow night at 8:30PM. I’ve been able to keep pretty close tabs on my beloved Keith Partridge through the years but I haven’t seen much of Shaun or Patrick lately so this was a real treat. I have to say, I think they are all still dreamy – especially Patrick who’s rocking their father’s signature “silver fox” look.

It seems like it has been ages since “Biggest Loser” trainer Jillian Michaels has made one of her “get your butts in gear” appearances on the “Today Show”. Here she is from this morning’s show answering questions from viewers:

NBC.com posted a video clip of Billy Mays’ appearance last week on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” on their homepage as a tribute to the fallen pitchman. It’s a delightful little interview with Mays and his Discovery Channel “Pitchman” reality show co-host Anthony Sullivan. He seemed like a very happy man who loved what he did for a living and certainly helped to take the concept of the “infomercial” to a whole new level.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar did his entire interview on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” as his “Saved by the Bell” character, Zach Morris. It was truly inspired:

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Stephen Colbert will be guest-editing the June 8th issue of “Newsweek”. The real “Newsweek”. According to the “New York Observer”, Stephen will be designing the cover, writing the editor’s note and writing an essay. There will also be a section for all of the letters to the editor Stephen has sent to “Newsweek” since he was a child. It sounds like all of this will be in the voice of the character called Stephen Colbert, but the rest of the magazine will be serious.
Apparently “Newsweek” is in the process of reinventing itself and this is their big bid to do so. I’ll definitely be checking it out – and it’s been about a decade since I picked up my last copy of “Newsweek”.
According to the magazine’s real editor, Jon Meacham, “I was just very impressed with the range of his knowledge and he had an almost encyclopedic feel for anything that came up. As we think about ways to both inform and surprise readers of the magazine, the notion of having him as a guest editor seemed like a good one.”
Last night was Jay Leno’s last as host of “The Tonight Show” and there were several sweet moments. Below are two of my favorites:
