It's a howling shame. An Ohio woman who had hoped to get her dog on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" has been ordered to remove a Cahuenga Pass billboard that pictures her pooch in a blond wig with the message, "Ellen, Denali the Dog Wants to Meet You. " Madalyn Ruggiero, a freelance photographer who dresses her golden retriever in funny costumes and sells the images as greeting cards, had rented the billboard for six weeks. But instead of getting a phone call to appear on DeGeneres' show, Ruggiero got word from the billboard company that her ad had to come down after only five days.

Two weeks after winning Oscars, "Up" and "The Cove" received additional honors Saturday at the 24th annual Genesis Awards, which honor media depictions of animal protection issues. "The Cove," which chronicles the slaughter of dolphins by fisherman from a Japanese village, was named outstanding documentary film. "Up," the animated adventure from Pixar that involves the fight to protect a rare bird, shared the feature film award with "Hotel for Dogs," a comedy with Lisa Kudrow and Don Cheadle that was applauded for "celebrating the special bond between children and dogs."

Something was wrong with Ellen DeGeneres a week ago Thursday -- her eyes were all puffy, and she looked as if a tiny, adorable kitten had died in her arms moments before she hit the soundstage to shoot her chat show. She couldn't even get a real laugh out of a segment with "Meet the Fockers" star Teri Polo. But this off day merely served to make clear that DeGeneres' good days -- which is to say pretty much every day -- are really, absolutely right-on, feel-great solid.

Ellen DeGeneres is sponsoring a contest in which the prize is a visit from her syndicated TV talk show. The Emmy-winning host and AOL announced Wednesday the launch of "Wish You Were Here," a competition that will culminate with DeGeneres & Co. visiting the winner's hometown. Over the next 10 weeks, fans of the comic who want her to visit can upload stories, photos and videos about the people and places that make their hometown special at ellen.aol.com.
