JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
I love having her here -- JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT will be on my show today for the 9th time! She's starting the fifth season of the incredibly successful "Ghost Whisperer." Last time she was here, she told me she was dating Jamie Kennedy -- now there are rumors that the two are engaged! So far, they've denied it... but I'm gonna get to the bottom of it! KELLY OSBOURNE isn't denying any marriage rumors though -- earlier this year she became engaged to model Luke Worrall. Kelly is on this season's "Dancing with the Stars" with LOUIS VAN AMSTEL, and the two will be on my show for the very first time to tell me everything about it!

JENNIFER GARNER
It's been four years since she's been on the show, now JENNIFER GARNER is coming back! Last time, she was pregnant with her first child, now she and her husband Ben Affleck have two little girls! And if motherhood weren't keeping her busy enough, Jennifer is now in the upcoming movie, "The Invention of Lying." Also, if you saw my TBS special this summer, you saw the absolutely hilarious comedian JOE WONG. (And if you didn't see my TBS special -- how dare you!) He was so great, I'm bringing him on the show today and you've got to see him! I also have Scottish musician PAOLO NUTINI here and he'll be performing. He'll be performing the hit song "Candy" from his new album "Sunny Side Up."

COURTENEY COX ARQUETTE
My friend COURTENEY COX ARQUETTE is on the show today! Last time, she told me she didn't have any stories to share, but I'm sure she'll have plenty to talk about with her new show "Cougar Town"! She's one of the few people who embrace their age rather than lie about it. Speaking of lies, RICKY GERVAIS is starring in the new movie, "The Invention of Lying." The hilarious British comedian will be on my show for the first time! (It's true... I swear!) Also, if you haven't heard of JESSIE JAMES, you will soon! She's being compared to Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood, but you can decide for yourself when she performs the song "Wanted" from her album.

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE
CHRISTINA APPLEGATE is on the show today! Last time she was on, I scared her twice -- once in her dressing room, and again when she was onstage! She was a good sport as always, but I'll be using a mirror to look around corners all day today... or maybe I'll just have Mama walk in front of me! Christina, who recently battled breast cancer, will talk about being an ambassador for Lee National Denim Day, the largest one-day fundraiser for breast cancer research. Then, I'll introduce you to a band out of England that everyone is keeping their eyes on -- THE NOISETTES will perform "Don't Upset the Rhythm" from their upcoming CD, "Wild Young Hearts." It's gonna be a fun show, and you never know who else might stop by!

TOM DELAY & CHERYL BURKE
This week is the big start of “Dancing with the Stars”! Former House Majority Leader TOM DELAY and professional dancer CHERYL BURKE will come by and fill me in on all the details from the premiere, and perform a dance number for us. I can’t wait to see it! Then, the star of one of my favorite shows, PATRICIA ARQUETTE is here today! She’ll be telling me all about her show “Medium.” This season, it’s moving from NBC to CBS… I just hope they remembered to bubble wrap the dishes! And I’ve got a new game to show you! It’s so much fun -- I don’t want to ruin the surprise -- you’ll just have to watch!
