Ice hockey? Sure. Tonsil hockey? Not so fast! When it comes to Valentine’s Day costar Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift is choosing her words – and well-timed giggles – carefully. The 19-year-old singer sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for an interview that is set to air Thursday, and found herself on the hot seat. After establishing that Swift shares scenes with the Twilight hottie in the upcoming romantic comedy, DeGeneres shows a picture of them kissing. “What’s happening there. Is that part of the movie?” asks the talkshow host. Swift confirms it’s an on-screen smooch, but later gets chided for playing “coy” when pressed on whether Lautner is a “good kisser.” DeGeneres was also armed with a shot of the two at a recent hockey game. “Is that part of the movie when you all go to some kind of game together?” DeGeneres asks. “Is that part of the movie too?” “I really like hockey a lot and it turns out so does he,” Swift responds. “Wow, So you just ran into each other?” DeGeneres counters, incredulous. Sounds believable enough, right? Swift just laughed.

Hahahaha … cute. It’s smart of Swift to play coy about her relationship with Lautner. Keep in mind, not only does Taylor² have a new movie to promote together (Valentine’s Day) but Swift will also be hosting Saturday Night Live very soon … and all this talk of her creepin’ around with Lautner is a publicist’s WET DREAM! That is not to say that this coupling has been staged for publicity but, well, in Hollywood anything is possible (there are even reports that Swift will do a skit with Kanye West, the a-hole who ruined her MTV VMAs this year, when she hosts SNL in a couple of weeks). I, personally, choose to believe that Taylor² are close, close friends and are hanging out a lot these days because of a mutual admiration for one another ;) The couple stepped out for another date last night, too. After the jump, check out Taylor² out on the town again last night …

Whatever the hell is going on, they do make a very cute couple. Whether they are really in lurve or are just play acting … I’m happy to play along. You don’t get a celeb couple cuter than Taylor². What do y’all think … are they BFFs, in love or neither?

She sang a few lines of Cole Porter’s I’ve Got a Crush on You … not very well, but hey, she was ambushed. I’m sure many people will say, It was staged! She knew she’d be singing! But it really looked to me like she was surprised and not planning to sing … she even confessed to the audience that she was assured that Ellen would not force her to sing like this … but, Jen, at that point you should’ve known it was coming ;) After the jump, check out the clip in full and hear Jennifer Aniston sing for yourselves …

Ellen DeGeneres may have photoshopped her own face over Victoria Beckham’s in the couple’s famous poster campaign for Emporio Armani, but guest David Beckham had his own surprise in store. The LA Galaxy had a special treat for the talk show host during his television interview, which screened in America last night. He revealed that rather than wearing his trademark Armani briefs, he instead had Ellen’s name all over his underwear. His wife Victoria didn’t seem to mind as she flashed a rare smile while hugging sons Romeo and Cruz in the studio audience. And Victoria had even more to smile about at the end of the interview as family man Becks went up into the audience to kiss her and their three boys. Becks revealed his boxer shorts tribute after Ellen teased him by asking if he had considered getting a tattoo of her. He laughed: ‘I’m very tempted – but I actually did this.’ Then he stood up and lifted the bottom of his shirt to reveal Ellen’s name across the waistband of his boxers. Earlier Ellen revealed the mock adverts where she had replaced Posh Spice’s face with her own image. ‘I don’t know why they didn’t end up in magazines because I think they looked good. Let me show you what we did,’ she told David and the studio audience. But her joke didn’t end there. ‘That’s crazy that nobody got to see that. I felt that more people should see it and I don’t have a lot power but I have some power,’ she said. Ellen then surprised the father-of-three by revealing four giant billboards of the fake image hung in New York’s Times Square, outside the television studio, on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and in Liverpool Station – David’s hometown! David laughed at the mock Armani posters as did Victoria, who later gave the host, who is married to actress Portia De Rossi, a big hug, saying: ‘That is so funny.’

Hahahahaha!! This is so Ellen … and I love that Becks was happy to play along. While it’s a shame that he didn’t show off all of his undies, I suppose we can’t be too upset with what he did show off … no sir, not at all. After the jump, check out a few more photos of Becks and Ellen and check out video of their interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday …

I don’t know about you but this seems like an excellent way to kick off a new TV season. Woot!!

Update: Pink reader Ama pointed me in the direction of video from Becks’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, check it out:

Truth be told … of all the Armani Underwear ads where Becks has to share the spotlight, I think this is my fave. I mean … right?

It’s a good thing Pink and her husband Carey Hart have a sense of humor. The singer, who acknowledges in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres airing Friday that she and her ex are a couple again, says she finds it funny to perform her hit song “So What” – which contains some choice words for Hart. “He’s in the audience so when I sing, ‘He’s a tool,’ now that’s my favorite line,” she tells DeGeneres. “Hi, Honey, that’s you.” When the talk show host offers her congratulations on being “happy” and “back together” after splitting up, Pink says, “We are. Thank you.” Pink and Hart got married in Costa Rica in January 2006 and announced their split two years later, but, “We didn’t do the paperwork deal,” says Pink. Asked if she and the motocross racer would consider having another wedding ceremony, Pink says coyly, “I love a party.”

Aww. I so knew these two were still together. They’ve been hanging out A LOT since their “split”. They make a great couple and they always seem so happy together. I’m glad to know that even tho they’ve been thru some mess, they’ve also been able to keep it together and survive as a couple. Good for them!!

What’s more difficult than enduring a painful breakup in the public eye? “When you don’t know you’re breaking up,” says Lindsay Lohan. “Really weird.” The 22-year-old actress shared her ordeal with somebody who knows all about a high-profile breakup: Ellen DeGeneres, whose split with Anne Heche in 2000 dominated celebrity news. In an Ellen DeGeneres show airing Thursday, Lohan tells the talk show host that the breakup with Samantha Ronson, 31, earlier this month “came out of nowhere.” “I had no idea what was going on. I just hadn’t seen her in, like, a week. She, like, disappeared,” Lohan says. Lohan didn’t discuss what may have led to it after a “really tough night” but denied infidelity was the cause. “I don’t believe in cheating on someone,” says Lohan. DeGeneres said that after her own public breakup, “I kind of lost my career for a little while and I went away … and I literally hibernated and got myself back together.” She asked Lohan if she wanted to run away. “I feel like I want to get my career back in shape,” she said, adding that being away from Ronson – and not dating anybody regularly right now – may be a positive step. “You know when people are together so much it gets really difficult and you forget who you are because you’re more concerned about being with the other person,” said Lohan. “I think it’s been really good for me. I thought it would be so much harder and it hasn’t been. My sister’s been here with me.” And Lohan still holds hope that the split won’t be permanent. “I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens,” she says. “Maybe when we’re fully in the right place. And I love her.”

Obvs, each person in a break-up is going to have their own perspective on what happened and who’s to blame. I kinda really love that Lindsay was so open about her feelings for Sam. It says a lot that she would choose Ellen’s show to profess her still love for her ex-girlfriend … call me a wee bit crazy but is it wrong that I think it’s a little romantic? I cannot imagine that Samantha will be appearing on any TV shows to give her side of the break-up as she strikes me as an extremely private person. While I wouldn’t take Lindsay’s assertions about what happened as the gospel truth, it may be the only side of the story that we’ll ever get to hear. Make sure you check your local listings, this is an ep of Ellen that you don’t want to miss. Incidentally, Prince will also be appearing on today’s episode of The Ellen DeGenres Show (I understand he performs Crimson & Clover) — so you don’t want to miss that. For those of you who might not be able to catch the interview or for those of you who just want a preview, there’s a short vid clip of Lindsay’s interview. After the jump, check it out …

Alyson Hannigan is finding that being pregnant not only gives her cravings – but makes her feel like a stoned Koala bear. “I get tired a lot and I have pregnancy brain, which I never realized was a thing but it is,” the expectant mom said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday. “I sort of feel like a Koala bear where I’m slightly stoned all the time and I’ll say the wrong word.” Quipped Ellen DeGeneres, “I’m not pregnant, but I have that brain too. I don’t have an excuse.” As for the baby’s gender, Hannigan, 34, says she and her husband, actor Alexis Denisof, have found out their child’s sex, but prefer to keep it private until its birth. “We’re just not announcing to the world,” said the How I Met Your Mother actress. “It seems a little personal.” Hannigan, who first announced her pregnancy to PEOPLE, would reveal her cravings, though. “[I crave] ginger ale big time,” she said. “I didn’t drink soda before and suddenly it was like, ‘I need a ginger ale,’ and surprisingly my mother craved ginger ale when she was pregnant with me as well.” DeGeneres seized on this nugget as a possible indication that Hannigan is having a girl, to which the actress responded by laughing and saying, “You’re very sneaky.” Hannigan is due in the spring.

It must be said, Alyson Hannigan is the most radiantly cute pregs celeb EVER. She looks … just stunning. Pregnancy really agrees with her and I *know* she’s yet to give birth to her first child but I’d love for her to have many children in the future so that we can enjoy her radiant glow for years to come. I’m usually anxious for celebs to birth their babies but in Aly’s case, I want her to stay pregs … she just looks so amazing :) She’s gonna be the best mom, you can just tell.
