Inside TV The Place Where Shows and Stars Click

Ellen DeGeneres' daily dance stroll down the aisle at the beginning of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated) was punctuated by wonderful outbursts of dancing and shimmying by audience members.

"We have some talented dancers in the audience today," DeGeneres says. The camera then closes in on four guys who stand up and dance in their seats; this impresses DeGeneres and guest Tracy Morgan, who quips "Those dudes rock, baby. They have me shimmying and all that."

Then Morgan riffs on an older audience member, who he figures argued with his wife cause he really wanted to go to 'The Price Is Right.'

Anchors away!

In the middle of a 'Good Day L.A.' (weekdays, 9AM on Fox 11) segment on 'American Idol,' anchor Steve Edwards moves away from co-anchor and entertainment reporter Dorothy Lucey, and then ribs her on how many nights she gets to see her husband (KCBS investigative reporter David Goldstein). "I see him at least one or two nights a week," Lucey says. Meanwhile, Edwards snuggles up to the other co-anchor, Lisa Breckenridge, making a joke about how many times she sees Lucey's husband. When Edwards and Breckenridge kiss off-camera -- "you missed it Francis," Lucey says to the director -- she plays shocked, then jabs back at Edwards: "The only other person he's friendlier with than her is ... Francis the talking [male] director. That's too much banter for us!

Shannon lives!

According to an exclusive report from EW.com, 'Lost' executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have confirmed that actress Maggie Grace will return for the show's final season as Boone's (Ian Somerhalder) bratty stepsister.

"We're really excited about having her back on the show," Cuse told EW, "and we have a good story for her."

Further details on Grace's comeback are being kept under wraps. But the news itself should raise a few eyebrows, considering that Shannon was shot and killed by Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez) midway through season 2. (Many of 'Lost''s deceased characters have already appeared this season, including Boone and Charlie, played by Dominic Monaghan.)

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver are underway, and soon we'll see which athletes become this year's biggest stars. And once the games are over, many of them will inevitably make their way to television with cameo appearances and reality competitions. (Let's start our Lindsey Vonn on 'Dancing with the Stars' campaign now, everyone!)

With that in mind, the Hulu team took a look back to find other Olympic heroes who have crossed over to TV over the years. Here are some of our favorites.

After watching this clip, we're sure of one thing: No one could ever accuse 'Good Day New York' (weekdays, 9AM ET on Fox) of serious journalism.

'America's Next Top Model' runway coach Miss J drops by the morning news show and gives anchor Rosanna Scotto pointers as she attempts to walk the runway like a professional model.

Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford discussed the tight race for Olympic gold in men's figure skating between Evgeni Plushenko, Evan Lysacek and Daisuke Takahashi on the fourth hour of 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC). And, perhaps not surprisingly, talk turned quickly to the physique of the skaters, particularly their rear ends.

"Have you ever seen such glutes?" Kotb asked. Then, a composite image of each skater's posterior is shown, eliciting a loud reaction from Kotb.

For years, NBC has been looking for the new 'Friends.' Now they may have finally found it. With benefits.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, NBC has ordered a pilot for 'Friends With Benefits,' a new single-camera sitcom from '24' executive producer Brian Grazer (pictured) that had previously been in development for ABC. They passed on the project, however, allowing NBC to scoop up the co-production from 20th TV and Imagine TV.

'Friends With Benefits' is described as a comedy that "explores modern-day romance through the eyes of five friends, each looking for 'the one' but in the meantime settling for 'friends with benefits.'" The series will be written the '(500) Days of Summer' team of Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, with the pilot scheduled to be helmed by 'Wedding Crashers' director David Dobkin.

Should 'Avatar' win big at this year's Academy Awards, director James Cameron promises to make an even bigger spectacle than he did after declaring himself "king of the world" when 'Titanic' won for Best Picture in 1998, he said on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated).

"I can make a bigger jackass of myself," Cameron said. "That's what I love about the Academy Awards, a great opportunity to make a damn fool of yourself in front of a billion people."
