Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Ellen DeGeneres has been set to host the 79th Academy Awards telecast, producer Laura Ziskin announced today. It will be DeGeneres’ first time as Oscar host, as well as her first appearance on an Academy Awards telecast. "Ellen DeGeneres was born to host the Academy Awards," said Ziskin. "There is no more challenging hosting job in show business. It requires someone who can keep the show alive and fresh and moving, as well as someone who is a flat-out great entertainer. Ellen completely fits the bill. I can already tell she is going to set the bar very high for herself and therefore for all of us involved in putting on the show. Now all we need is a lot of great movies."DeGeneres is the host of the syndicated talk show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which this year won its third Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show and earned DeGeneres her second Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host."When Laura Ziskin called, I was thrilled," said DeGeneres. "There’s two things I’ve always wanted to do in my life One is to host the Oscars. The second is to get a call from Laura Ziskin. You can imagine that day’s diary entry."DeGeneres has twice hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards telecast and co-hosted the show in 1994. For her first solo Emmy stint, which took place shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, she received high praise."She just sparkles," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "She is such a pleasure to watch. Her wit cuts to the truth of things, but in a wonderfully warm-spirited way. I think she’ll be a fantastic host for this show and we’re extremely pleased that she’s agreed to do it."

Last month, Shanna Moakler’s husband and Meet the Barkers costar Travis Barker filed for divorce, charging that the former Miss U.S.A. had cheated on him and neglected their kids. But Moakler, 30, tells PEOPLE in its new issue that she’s a good mom to daughter Alabama, 9 months, son Landon, 2, and Atiana, 7, her daughter with boxer Oscar De La Hoya. "I’m very active in making sure my children are well-adjusted and balanced," she says. She also says she was never unfaithful to her husband. (Barker’s rep tells PEOPLE, "Travis stands by his previous interview. He continues to love Shanna and wants the best for their children.") Here, she talks about what went wrong – and why things are looking up.
PEOPLE: How are you doing? Has the anger subsided?
MOAKLER: I’ve been better. I’ve had a rough year. I’m past anger. I’m sad, very disappointed, but I’m trying to stay positive for numerous reasons.
How are the divorce proceedings going?
The public will be very happy to know that we have a pre-nup! So I’m not stealing his money or gold digging. I have no problem sharing the children with him and I want that very much. I don’t see it getting ugly.
Take me through a day in your life as a mother.
Contrary to what you’ve read, it does not consist of me sleeping all day. My nanny usually leaves around 6 p.m. I take my kids I give them a bath, I put them to bed. Alabama gets up at midnight and she gets up at four in the morning, and Landon gets up to pee all the time in the middle of the night because he’s only two and a half. I never have a straight hour of sleep. When Travis was here, I would give him the babies at 6 a.m. Our nanny comes in at 8 a.m.
So what do you think went wrong in your marriage?
The problem with my marriage is that I never felt like an equal. When I fall in love, I think I sacrifice a great deal of myself and my personality and my work.
When did your relationship take a turn for the worse?
About six months ago it got really bad. I think what happened was that he was surrounded by a lot of really bad people. When you have a lot of people kissing your butt all day, and then you come home to the big negative all the time, after a while it takes its toll.
Travis said there were innate personality differences between the two of you.
We’re definitely two different people. Travis is a morning person; I’m a night person. Travis, believe it or not, is a bit more quiet and reserved. I’m more of an extrovert, a social butterfly.

The things she will do to get votes on DWTS3 

TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton’s arrest for DUI wasn’t her first run-in with cops Wednesday evening. Sources who attended the "Head to Hollywood" event at the Dragonfly nightclub in Hollywood –Paris’ last stop before her arrest — tell TMZ that Hilton said that she had been pulled over by police for some form of moving violation on her way to the fundraiser, thus explaining her late arrival. Hilton did not say if she was ticketed. TMZ contacted the LAPD and surrounding law enforcement agencies, and none have any record showing Hilton was stopped or ticketed. Paris’ rep Elliot Mintz could not be reached for comment.
