Alison Sweeney To Guest On "Ellen" Wednesday

 


Set your DVRs this week to catch Alison Sweeney on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. One of the hardest working women in daytime will sit on the couch with Ellen on Wednesday. We all know DeGeneres is notorious for having her guest partake in something wacky.

Oprah, Sawyer and Walters Top Most Influential Women in Media List


Forbes just released The Most Influential Women In Media and nine out of the top ten women have a daytime connection. Not surprisingly Oprah ranks No. 1. Diane Sawyer earned the No. 2 spot while Barbara Walters appears at No. 3. Walters' fellow The View co-hosts appear at No. 11. This is what Forbes wrote about The View.

The thing that keeps the show interesting and fresh is all the diverging and often opposing viewpoints. The audience senses this honesty isn't staged, as some of its controversies have even led to former hosts like Rosie O'Donnell or Star Jones leaving the show.

Vanessa Williams Hosts the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards


Amid my initial reaction to 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominees I wasn't really paying attention to this year's host, Vanessa Williams. Don't get me wrong, I like Vanessa Williams and think she'll do a good job, but I fully expected them to choose Tyra Banks. Considering the popularity of America's Next Top Model and the upcoming move of her talk show to The CW, it seemed like network executive's dream come true. Of course, I still don't understand why the Daytime Emmys aren't begging and pleading with Ellen to host the show each year. Ellen would promote the hell out of it on her show and daytime fans love her.

Who do you think would do a better job as the Daytime Emmy host?

Y&R's Clementine Ford, GL's Otalia Make After Ellen's Hot 100 List



Not to be outdone by the boys, After Ellen has also released their 2009 list of the hottest women in pop culture. The highest daytime honor went to funny lady Ellen Degeneres at Number 15, but talking strictly soaps, it was Young and Restless newcomer Clementine Ford at Number 18. Ford won critical acclaim, as well as rabid popularity for her stint on the Showtime cable series The L Word.

Ford wasn't the only soaper on the list, the recently-cancelled Guiding Light made an impressive showing, with both halves of sapphic supercouple Otalia, Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia, making the cut at Number 50 and Number 60, respectively. You hear that Lifetime and Oxygen? You could have your L Word follow up right here! The smoking hot Chappell also came in Number 7 on After Ellen's Hot Women Over 40 List. The equally-stunning Leccia made Number 12 on the website's Hot Women of Color List.
