On 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated), Kelly Ripa recreates Tenley Molzahn's dance for Jake Pavelka on 'The Bachelor' ... with a twist.

In the first half of the parody, Ripa dances to Sir Mix-A-Lot's famous ode to booty 'Baby Got Back.' Then, she launches into weird, jerking movements that are a sort of cross between ballet and the robot dance.

Rosie O'Donnell subjects herself to a rapid-fire Q&A session on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated), answering questions from audience members as she spins in a circle.

O'Donnell is questioned on a variety of topics, including her first kiss, strange behavior of celebrity friends and the weirdest job she's ever had. See the clip for more, including a funny moment where O'Donnell calls out Rachael Ray for routinely failing to wear underwear.

We don't care how cool piranhas are. We're not putting our ears or any other body part near them. 'River Monsters' host Jeremy Wade showcases a range of deadly water creatures on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS), and gives anchor Maggie Rodriguez the chance to hear the grunt of a piranha by holding one uncomfortably close to her ear.

"Can you hear the grunt?" asks Wade.

On 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC), Natalie Morales announces that a segment from the show's past will be revived online with her as host. After Morales explains that the segment will feature an encapsulated rundown of all the day's headlines, Meredith Vieira jokes that it will also include a monkey to spice things up. But, Morales hands it right back to her.

"And you're going to have a monkey sitting next to you," said Vieira.

While 'Iron Man 2' star Mickey Rourke is clearly enjoying his resurgence as an actor after many years out of the spotlight, he's plagued by fear that his regained fame could disappear overnight, he said on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC).

"I think when you're out of the game for, like, 14 years, and let's say the phone doesn't ring for a decade, I think for the rest of my career I'm always going to feel like I'm on thin ice because I was out for so long and I could mess it all up like that," Rourke said, adding that he has no intention of "tripping over the same rock twice" and allowing his career to be derailed again.

According to Ellen Pompeo, she's learned a great deal working with the cast of 'Grey's Anatomy' over the past five years, but the biggest lesson she learned was to think before she spoke, she said on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC).

"To get along with people on a daily basis ... is something that takes work and patience," Pompeo said. "I've probably learned to -- or maybe I haven't learned to -- not always say what I'm thinking. I have a tendency to say what I'm thinking all the time, and maybe it's not the best thing to do."

Dr. Cooper's (Peter Facinelli) nervous habit of breast grabbing struck him at the worst possible time on 'Nurse Jackie' (Mon., 10PM on SHO). When a wealthy hospital benefactor starts tearing into Dr. Cooper, what does he do? Well, he grabs her breasts.

"There are parts of this hospital that wouldn't exist without my support," Libby said. "I built them up like that and I can tear you down just as easily ... " Cue the breast grab, Jackie fumbling for an explanation and shock on the faces of all parties in the room.

Dr. van der Woodsen took a touching speech and made it awkward on 'Gossip Girl' (Mon., 9PM ET on CW). Serena's (Blake Lively) father (William Baldwin) made it pretty clear that he wanted his family back -- even if his ex-wife is now married to Rufus.

"I made many personal sacrifices to be a doctor, and I never quite realized until now that the greatest sacrifice of all was my family ... I made the biggest mistake of my life walking out on you and I promise to do everything in my power to make it up to you, to make it right again, because I love you," William said.

You don't get much more Italian than Teresa and her family on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' (Mon., 10PM on BRAVO). Teresa's mother-in-law asked her granddaughter, Gia, if she would marry an Italian man when she got old enough, but Teresa had another idea.

"I said to marry a Jewish guy, 'cause they cater to their wives, they bow to them," Teresa said.

That Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff) sure is a slippery one. She got Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) to keep her alive long enough on '24' (Mon., 9PM ET on FOX) so she could gather what she needed to try and kill him.

"That file is the only thing keeping me alive," Dana said. "No, right now I'm the only thing keeping you alive," Jack responded. And he was right. After Dana got to the safety deposit box she tried to kill Jack, but he was having none of that.

Tara's wacky multiple personalities have the worst (but most entertaining) timing. On 'United States of Tara' (Mon., 10:30PM ET on SHO),

Max Gregson prepared the house and kids for a visit from social services, sent to check on his and Tara's parenting skills.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jon Favreau go way back, all the way to his pre-'Swingers' days when Favreau played an angry clown on a 'Seinfeld' episode.

The two actors reminisced on the 'Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC) -- and got so carried away that Jay Leno didn't feel needed.

Clearly Sam Rockwell should stick to acting; offering medical advice is just not his strength.

When girlfriend Leslie Bibb, the 'Talladega Nights' and 'Iron Man' actress, got a major concussion, Rockwell gave her all the wrong treatment, she explained on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC).

When Craig Ferguson got loose with his language on the 'Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), Morgan Freeman joined in, and the producers later bleeped out the profanity in a creative way.

It became both polite and educational when the standard "beep" sound was replaced with exclamations in foreign languages.

If you star in a film called 'The Wrestler' there's an occupational hazard along with it, as Mickey Rourke explained to David Letterman on the 'Late Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS).

While in a pub in London, the 'Iron Man 2' actor hit it off with a team of burly rugby players.
