"Ellen": Today, Ellen "shot some hoops" with Jim from "The Office", and she totally almost beat him at something called "free throws". I don't know a whole lot about sports, but I think she may have even won the Super Bowl! Congratulations Ellen! Grand Slam Punt Overtime!

"Access Hollywood Live": We learned something very important today about the crumbling marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. It turns out Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban traded the Hump to the New Jersey Nets, and if he wouldn't have done that, Kris probably would have never met Kim! Now I'm not sure what a Dallas Maverick is, but I'm guessing the Hump still wishes he was one!

"Wake Up With Al": Today's show had a story about a possible UFO in Utah, and then they had an interview with Regis. And lets be honest, we've all thought Regis might not be from this planet at one point or another. So is there some kind of alien conspiracy going on here? I'm not sure but it wouldn't hurt to start spreading that

"CBS This Morning": Well, that settles it, I guess. Gayle King says Oprah is NOT Blue Ivy's Godmother. But Gayle King MIGHT be Charlie Rose's first Facebook friend! Reports are still unconfirmed...

"Wendy Williams": I thought it was a little odd that Wendy has been fighting so hard to save the Twinkie. But then we bought a box to use for today's show and I was reminded how amazing they are! I even insisted that we do multiple takes so I could have as many bites as possible, you know for work. So now it's official Wendy, I'm joining the fight. Save the Twinkie, save the Twinkie!

"Anderson": I'm really hoping that today's appearance by Henry Winkler is just the beginning of "Happy Days" alumni to appear on the show! And then Anderson can spin off into the "Laverne & Shirley" cast — I'd love to know what Carmine Ragusa aka "The Big Ragoo" aka actor Eddie Mekka is up to! Love the Ragoo!

"The Talk": Considering they have five funny co-hosts every day, plus guests with great stories, the

"Ellen": Happy birthday, Ellen! Glad you got everything you wanted for your special day, but I gotta admit, one gift made me jealous: getting "Earth Wind & Fire" to play as your house band! I wish the singer of my favorite song from prom could come serenade me on my birthday! Although, actually, that would just mean Chris DeBurgh would sing "Lady In Red" to me for 24 hours straight. That reads kind of creepy now that I've typed it out. They need to invent a delete button for computers!

"The Price is Right": I was half-expecting Kim, the kooky birthday lady from yesterday's "Today Show" who thought she was on "The Price is Right" to show up on the actual game show today. But "TPIR" tapes months in advance so that would have taken a lot of planning… not that I'd put it past her!

"Access Hollywood Live": Normally you would think that Billy Bush playing with fire is a horrible idea, because he likes to be a bit of a troublemaker. But with Bear Grylls nearly lighting himself on fire and

"GMA": Hmm, I bet Drew Barrymore is having way more fun doing that "Charlie's Angels" pose now that she's got a ring on her trigger finger. And to think, up until just a few years ago, she'd "Never Been Kissed!" (Okay, okay, I'll stop. I promise this time.) Riiight after I figure out a "Poison Ivy" joke...

"Today": "Today" had a health expert on, who claimed that a cup of black tea has about half the caffeine of a cup of coffee. I guess she was trying to settle the "tea vs. coffee" debate... but I think Kim from Phoenix settled that debate for me out on the plaza with Al. I'll take the tea - and hopefully someone can teach Kim the jitterbug about the half-caf option.

"Good Day LA": Every time William Shatner appears on a show one of our writers start's dropping random "Star Trek" facts on me, which as you can imagine is pretty unbearable. And since this writer is from Iowa he always manages to slip in that James T. Kirk is from Iowa. No, William Shatner is not from Iowa, his character

"Live! with Kelly": Was that really Mary J. Blige co-hosting with Kelly today? Who knew she was such a morning show maven? Well, here's the 411 on that... according to MJB, she's a daytime show junkie, just like us! She told Kelly that she watches her show every day, "and then I roll right into "The View", and then I roll right into "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" Wow, fascinating: so that's who still watches "Millionaire"... millionaires!

"Good Day New York": Normally I would find it odd that the lead news story in a huge city with millions of people was about a word misspelled on the street. But in this case it was just nice to see that they didn't lead with a story about those darn New York Giants again! Some of us don't care about baseball people!

"Access Hollywood Live": I was jealous of Billy for a while since he was sitting poolside in Miami. But when he and Charlie Sheen were both drenched in sweat 15 seconds into their interview, I'm pretty sure they were jealous of me

"Live! with Kelly": Wow, today's show had both Kim Kardashian and Lucy Lawless. (Guess which one has many skills? Hint: It's the one that's more warrior-princess-y.) Anyway, if this trend keeps up, tomorrow we'll get Marlee Matlin, Nick Nolte, and Ozzy Osbourne!

"Ellen": Okay, sure, some less-educated folks may just know Ellen's guest today, Shemar Moore, from "Criminal Minds". But us DiNTers know him for a much more important role: playing Malcolm Winters on "The Young & The Restless"! Yep, Shemar spent almost 10 years over two stints on "Y&R", and when he didn't wanna come back for a third go-round, he gave the character to his pal Darius McCrary! I wonder if Darius will return the favor and let Shemar play Eddie Winslow in the next "Family Matters" reunion?

"GDNY": Greg proved he is the king of the backhanded compliment when he told Yvette Nicole Brown from "Community" that she's not a household name, but she has a household face. Gee, Greg! How sweet! And since she works on a show

"Wake Up with Al": I'm not gonna lie, I got a few angry emails when we used a USPS box on the show during the the Fed Ex delivery debacle a few weeks ago. But it turns out when it comes to things like UPS and USPS I've got ESP, so take that angry emailers! Now you'll just have to go back to criticizing me for being way too cute, funny and adorable!

"Good Morning America": "GMA" had an author on today who brought her Grandmother along for the interview. Weird? Maybe. Inappropriate? Well not when your book of online dating tips is called "Granny Is My Wingman". Once you pick that title, Gran pretty much has to go with you everywhere, right? Personally, I think it's a brilliant strategy. Scope out the restaurant, if that guy's a schmoe who totally fudged his photo in the online profile? Send in Gram-Gram!

"Ellen": Ellen's really been rounding up the Viral Video stars lately. Today she had Dancin' Aunt Carol and the Sad Packer Fan! Maybe next week we'll find out what happened after Charlie

"Ellen": See, Rob Lowe didn't know any secret info about that Peyton Manning guy retiring... Rob, you're always repeating stuff you heard from your "Brothers and Sisters." Stop living in "Wayne's World", admit that this story came straight outta the "West Wing", and just accept the fact that when it comes to sports, you're an "Outsider" like the rest of us!

"Today": Hoda got stuck with NYC Jury Duty (no wine allowed!), so Kathie Lee filled her seat with her own 81-year-old mom, Joanie. Joanie looked a little nervous, especially when she asked KLG if they were on in "High-Dementia television". It was just like Hoda never left!

"Live! with Kelly": Okay, so it wasn't exactly McDreamy meets McSteamy... more like Mayor McCheesey meets Uncle Scrooge McDuck! But watching Dana Carvey and Ewan McGregor chat in dueling Scottish brogues was pretty hilarious... at least the six words of it that I could understand.

"Access Hollywood Live": Billy Bush might as well retire right now. Because when he
