Dancing with bears! Ellen DeGeneres is among the myriad of celebs with Super Bowl XLVIII commercials, but unlike her famous peers, the comedic talk show host shows off her dancing chops in the new spot for Beats Music.
The TV personality, 56, debuted the clip on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, Jan. 30 and told the audience her spot was for the Beats Music app: "Which is something that I absolutely love," she confessed.

"You’re really not supposed to see it until the Super Bowl," she added Thursday. "But it’s my birthday and it’s my show so I get to do what I want."

The minute-long clip, a modernized fusion between The Story of the Three Bears and Red Riding Hood, stars DeGeneres as a more amusing version of Goldilocks, who sneaks into a stylish urban condo called The Woods. "Once there was a girl who was hungry for the perfect music to dance to," she narrates in the commercial.

After listening to music on three different sets of headphones, the bow-wearing star consults the Beats Music app for pop tunes that are "just right" for her desired dance party -- when the family of scary animals comes home. "Hit play, baby," says the wolf as the troupe joins DeGeneres for one amazing-looking bash.

After the spot was revealed on the show, DeGeneres plugged in the app for the audience: "I've got it on this LG G-Flex phone. It's got this curved screen. It's very, very cool," she said. The generous DeGeneres then added, "I want you all to try Beats, so you're all going home with this phone."

J-Law is just like Us! Jennifer Lawrence didn't let her sexy white costume dress get in the way of her snack break on the set of American Hustle. The Oscar-nominated film's costume designer, Michael Wilkinson, tells Vanity Fair he created four different versions of the gown for the 23-year-old messy eater.
"Jennifer Lawrence is a very . . . let's say . . . raw and intuitive young lady, and she's not against eating Doritos and snack food in her costume," Wilkinson explained. "So we were glad that we had a couple [backups]."
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence's best dresses
Fortunately, at $3.99 per yard, the fabric for the dresses also wasn't too expensive. The dress was an important part of director David O. Russell's vision for the drama set in the 1970s and early '80s, and for Lawrence's character Rosalyn Rosenfeld, the wife of Christian Bale 's Irving Rosenfeld.

"David really had it set in his mind that she would be wearing this dress that she just poured herself into," Wilkinson said of the low-cut, jersey dress. "He wanted to see every single lump and bump. There had to be a sense of, 'Is she going to fall out of it?' It had this dangerous feeling to it, which matched her own dangerous mental landscape."

Elle magazine reached out to Frito-Lay to get a comment on Lawrence's Dorito dust malfunction. A rep for the company said in a statement: "Back in the seventies that would have been the experience consumers would have had with eating Doritos, so technically, it would have been factually accurate to have that Doritos cheese problem."

"That was pretty f----ing cool, you guys," Cyrus told the audience after the duet. "It sounds super-lame, but as a pop star it's pretty cool performing with Madonna . . . Today was one of those days that it was really easy to get out of bed, put on a bikini and sing with Madonna."

Cheerios is bringing more to the table than just cereal at this year's Super Bowl. For the first time in Cheerios history, and only the second time in General Mills history, the company is airing a commercial during the big game -- and it's already one of the buzziest ads of the weekend. The 30-second spot, titled simply "Gracie," is a sequel to the breakfast brand's controversial 2013 ad "Just Checking," which featured an interracial couple and their young child.
PHOTOS: 2013's star-packed Super Bowl
"Gracie" features the same family -- a black father, white mother, and biracial daughter -- sharing a sweetly ordinary moment around the kitchen table. This time, the father is using Cheerios to explain to his little girl that she's getting a baby brother. It's a touching scene, with a cutely humorous ending, and though it doesn't address the previous controversy directly, it makes a big statement.
As some likely remember, the original ad last May made headlines when some YouTube users flooded the comments section with offensive, bigoted remarks about Cheerios' use of an interracial couple. The vitriol was so rampant at the time that the company was forced to disable commenting on the clip.
PHOTOS: Love lives of NFL stars
"The comments that were made were, in our view, not family friendly," Camille Gibson, vice president of marketing, explained on the Today show at the time. "We were trying to portray an American family. And there are lots of multicultural families in America today."
PHOTOS: Hollywood football fans
In the end, the controversy turned out to be a good thing for the brand. The ad racked up nearly 5 million views on YouTube, and though there were certainly still haters, they were ultimately outnumbered by people applauding Cheerios for acknowledging and celebrating diversity.
"Like millions of Americans, we just fell in love with this family," Gibson told the New York Times this week. "The big game provided another opportunity to tell another story about family love."

Lily and Marshall forever! The entire cast of How I Met Your Mother appeared on The Talk Monday, Jan. 27 to celebrate the 200th episode of the CBS sitcom, and the show's ninth and final season. While sharing what they'll miss most about each other, Alyson Hannigan (Lily Aldrin) cried over having to say goodbye to on-screen husband Jason Segel (Marshall Eriksen.)
"Alyson, I mean, working together for ten years that's longer than some marriages in this town. Say Jason, for example, what will you miss most about him?" Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne asked.
"He's just such a wonderful guy . . . I'm getting all . . ." Hannigan, 39, said while getting choked up. "I'm not gonna miss him," she joked, trying to laugh away the tears. "I'm not good at answering this question at all," she cried.
"Aww, babe," Segel, 34, said, giving Hannigan a pat on the shoulder, which only made her cry harder. "I'm on a daytime talk show crying, this isn't how it was supposed to go," joked the actress, who is married in real life to her former Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar Alexis Denisof.
"How about you, Jason?" Aisha Tyler asked. "What will you miss about Alyson and the relationship your characters have on the show?"
"If you don't cry you're a horrible person," costar Neil Patrick Harris joked to Segel.
"Aly taught me a lot about how to be a man, I gotta say. I was 25 when I took the show," Segel said of the series, which debuted in 2005. "I think we've all been through a lot personally. Aly and I have a lot of scenes together, spend a lot of time together, and she's always been there to listen to me and give me advice. [She] saw me through hard times and good times," explained the actor, who split from girlfriend Michelle Williams in February last year.
Segel's kind words only made Hannigan cry further, and he comforted her by rubbing her shoulder. He added: "I learned a lot from being around Alyson by the kind of person that I wanted to be."
As the Talk co-hosts tried to move to the next question, Segel interrupted, shouting, "Oh! Oh!" He then pulled out a handkerchief from his back pockets that he remembered he had and handed it to Hannigan.
Proud of his gentlemanliness, Segel shared a high-five with Harris. "Let me tell you something, I've been carrying around that handkerchief for like 15 years," he said. Hannigan then jokingly dropped the handkerchief with a disgusted look on her face.
