Fans of Chris Rock know the actor/comedian has no problem working blue. And yet, Rock keeps his potty mouth in check in front of his parents, he said on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

Rock said he never uses profanity around his mother or father because they never cursed at home. Still, if his parents happen to be in the audience while he's performing stand-up, they should expect a blue streak like everyone else. Said Rock, "When they're in an audience, yeah, well. How else is their mortgage going to get paid?"

Rachael Ray stumps Australian actor Alex O'Loughlin, who stars in 'The Back-up Plan' with Jennifer Lopez, by testing his knowledge of theme songs to classic American TV shows on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

O'Loughlin, who claims to be an avid fan of American TV, correctly belts out a line from the 'Brady Bunch' theme, but fails at 'The Golden Girls.' And, when he can't recall the theme to 'Cheers,' the audience groans, then starts to sing the song for him. "I just wanted to hear the audience sing," O'Loughlin said sheepishly.

After receiving a compliment from Rachael Ray on her looks, celebrity chef Paula Deen chalks up her appearance to good makeup, then laments the fact men can't enjoy the transformative power of makeup as well. This, however, didn't stop Deen from once making up her young son Jamie, she said on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

Deen, who says her two sons were "beautiful" when they were children, laughingly admits to Ray that she once curled one son's hair and applied mascara to his eyelashes. Hey, it's a mother's right, isn't it?

If Carol Burnett had her choice of any actress to play her in a biopic, she'd choose none other than Angelina Jolie, she said on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated). However, when Burnett plumps up her lips in an exaggerated impression of Jolie, something tells us she's not being entirely serious.

Burnett also said she finds today's crop of funny ladies highly entertaining. When Rachael Ray asks Burnett who makes her laugh, she says, "Well, I love the ladies. I love Tina Fey and Amy [Poehler], Tracey Ullman and Ellen DeGeneres."

Rumor has it that Rosie O'Donnell is being set up as Oprah's replacement when the Daytime Queen retires from her eponymous show in 2011. At least that's how the industry gossips put it. The truth is that while Rosie is planning a talk show to launch when the Oprah set goes dark, it's being produced by a different company and will probably run on cable, not on ABC.

But who can resist speculating about who could replace Oprah Winfrey? Since Oprah announced that her show would be ending its 25-year run, a short list of possible candidates has included Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, Martha Stewart, Sarah Palin, Tyra Banks and even Michelle Obama. But I think Oprah is irreplaceable. Sure, you could give another woman her time-slot, but in the world of daytime talk, time-slots are meaningless. You live or die on your own ability to capture the public imagination.

When Bruce Jenner agreed to babysit step-daughter Kourtney Kardashian's infant son, he thought he could count on assistance from his family. One by one, though, family members made plans and left him to take care of baby Mason alone, he said on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

"For, like, five hours, it was just me and the Mase-man. It wasn't even my idea, but I got stuck with him," he said. Still, Jenner said he somehow managed to mind the infant. "I did pull it off. He was fine."

On 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated), an audience member says that, when he looks at other women while with his girlfriend, he's not actually drawn to their good looks. Instead, the man claims to be appreciating their fashion sense and imagining how their clothes would look on his significant other.

Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn't buy the man's explanation, however, and invites him up on stage where she playfully slaps his hand and chides him.

Yes, the comedian is a fan of shows such as 'Rock of Love' and 'Tool Academy,' but when Handler stopped by 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated), she revealed her love for the serious side of TV. "I like '60 Minutes' and boring stuff like that ... my job is constantly talking about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and it's like you want to shoot yourself ... so you want to kind of like train your brain to try and remember something and work on your IQ a little bit," Handler said.

Dating expert Regena "Mama Gena" Thomashauer appeared on the latest episode of 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated) to give tips for snagging a guy. One piece of advice, as discussed by Rachel Ray: "Go to the ladies' room and take [your] undies off."

Yes, Thomashauer advocates "going commando" (i.e. pantyless) in order to seduce a man. Ray herself seems a bit shocked by this advice. "I've never 'gone commando' in my life, not ever!" she says. "Maybe when I was three [years old]; that's the last time."

Kirstie Alley said it's difficult appearing on the late-night circuit when many talk show hosts have made a career out of telling jokes about her weight. And there's one host in particular who's now paying the price for his jabs, she said on 'The Rachael Ray Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

When asked by Rachael Ray whether it's hard guesting on a show with a host who's poked fun at her, Alley replied, "It is. Sort of. But, you know, really, most of those people have ... been in some pickles themselves. And some people overdo it a little bit. I don't want to say names -- Conan O'Brien -- and I don't want to say the word 'karma,' but, he doesn't have a show and I do."
