Kate Middleton Is Related to Which Famous American Talk Show Host?

Kate Middleton Is Related to Which Famous American Talk Show Host?

Could Ellen DeGeneres be headed to London for a certain springtime wedding?

Depends on exactly how many relatives Kate Middleton wants to invite to her April 29 nuptials to Prince William.

Turns out the royal bride-to-be and the talk-show host are distantly related. An examination of Kate's background revealed that they are 15th cousins, Ellen announced on her show on Feb. 10.

DeGeneres read a letter she received from the New England Genealogical Society, which had been at work mapping Kate's history as she prepares to join the royal family. The society determined that the two women are connected via a man named Sir Thomas Fairfax and his wife, Agnes Gascoigne.

Fairfax, who lived from 1475 to 1520, was a castle owner in London and at one time served on an expedition with Henry VIII. As with most women of the era, little is known of his wife, except for the fact that she had 12 children. So far, Ellen hasn't followed in her footsteps, though Kate's future motherhood is almost certainly assured, it being her royal duty and all.

DeGeneres is thrilled about the connection and wants to know where Kate is registered, noting that she lives near both a Pier 1 and a Target. And seeing as the two are now cousins, Ellen is also stepping up to her family role.

"Let me know if you need me to plan the bachelorette party," she quipped, "because I found some straws that were shaped like…well never mind."

Should Ellen DeGeneres be invited to the royal wedding? Chime in below!

'30 Rock' Recap: Babies on Board

'30 Rock' Recap: Babies on Board

Jack and Avery fly up to Toronto for a titillating weekend at the G8 Summit. Instead of indulging their most carnal politics-based fantasies, Avery goes into labor (or "labour" as the Canucks would have it be known), and the Donaghy-Jessups go into freak-out mode that they might birth a Canadian daughter. That would be oat of the question.

In a desperate bid to hitch a ride back to America -- and before you can say "Frozen River meets Winter's Bone" -- they find themselves driving a Canadian named Lorne (John Cho) and his mobile meth lab across the border. Jack has second thoughts in a gas station somewhere outside of St. Catharines (or any Canadian border city of your choosing) and decides to back down for the benefit of little Maple Leaf Jessup, eh. She comes into the world in all her Canadian glory, only to have her first sight be her parents walking out of the hospital in a rage when her Socialist countrymen won't accept money for health care.

Kim & Kourtney Kardashian: FAO Schwarz Piano Pals

Looking to have a little childish fun, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian headed over to FAO Schwarz in New York City today (February 11).

The ?Keeping Up with the Kardashians? babes looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves as they frolicked around the ?Big Piano? Tom Hanks-style at the Fifth Avenue toy store.

Kim and Kourtney were filming an episode of their hit E! reality show ?Kourtney and Kim Take New York? though they didn?t look to be very hard at work.

Before making their exit, the girls picked up a stuffed animal bear for little Mason Dash Disick, Kourtney?s son.

Detroit Mayor Says No To RoboCop Statue, But All Is Not Yet Lost!

Once upon a time (earlier this week), a fan asked Detroit mayor Dave Bing on Twitter if the city could honor fictional hero RoboCop for his peace-keeping efforts on behalf of the city in Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film. To his credit, the mayor replied, though the response was less-than-welcome: "There are not any plans [...]

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's Varying Divorce Details

They announced their separation earlier this week, and details concerning the divorce between Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz continue to emerge.

According to one report, Mrs Simpson-Wentz has been unhappy in the marriage for quite some time while Wentz was satisfied with the marital situation and didn't see this coming.

Another report from People claims that the once happy couple's story is a classic case of marrying young, having a kid young and growing apart over the years.

Both Ashlee and Pete were spotted out separately just days before Simpson filed for divorce on Wednesday.

The soon-to-be ex-couple released a statement saying, ?We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx [2 years old], whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority.?
