Showbiz Tonight (CNN)did the same thing. They played the same 20 second teaser at least 4 different times, and then finally got to her plea later on in the show.

I understand that Ellen is a pet lover, many of us are, but felt it wasn't the right medium to get the adoption organization to change their mind...if they do, we're going to hear about it all week in a topic titled "Star Treatment: Celebs That Get Their Way". I suggest she uses her celebrity paycheck to hire a good lawyer, and let him/her get the dog back.

Best of luck to Ellen, and I only hope this wasn't some PR "guru" attempt at uping the ratings.

this was ridiculous. AND hilarious.
