Minnie Driver has been a mom for just two months but she says she’s already thinking about adding to her family.

“I’d have another one,” the actress told Ellen DeGeneres on her show that is set to air Friday.

Driver gave birth to a son, Henry, in September. “It only kicks in after you have really forgotten %26#91;labor%26#93;. I’ve only just managed to look at the pictures of the birth,” Driver said. “I only looked at a few pictures and they do make you kind of go, ‘Owwww! Ouch!’, but then I look at him. I want another one of them.”

But Henry, who weighed in at 9 lbs., 12 oz. when he was born, was too big for his Halloween Pumpkin costume. “On the back there was just this huge triangle where his diaper showed because we couldn’t close it,” Driver explained.

DeGeneres gave Driver a couple of different-sized onesies that acknowledged Henry’s heft. Both items said: “I may be BIG but my Mom is Minnie.”

Zac Efron sports one stylish hairdo - but what inspired it?

“I actually modeled it %26#91;after%26#93; Ellen season 2,” Efron tells Ellen DeGeneres during an interview scheduled to air Thursday.

“Smart,” retorts DeGeneres. “So you’re copying me?”

“I am in fact,” Efron tells the talk show host.

“Vanessa was here a few days ago and she said she actually prefers it slicked back more with stuff in it,” she says. “But then it’s hard for her to put her hands in your hair because it’s to full of stuff. She prefers it slicked back just to let you know.”

DeGeneres also offers her haircutting services - after Efron admits his windswept style is partially “derived from laziness.” Pulling out a clipper, the talk show host consults with the actor’s mother - who is in the audience - then offers to trim Efron’s mane.

“Do you want to take a little off the back?” he asks. “It’s a little long actually.”

“No, there’s no blade in it,” DeGeneres retorts. “It was just to scare you. It’s Halloween and I like to scare people.”

Ellen DeGeneres had a message for Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on her talk show Wednesday: “We should all be equal.”

The TV host took aim at the Alaska governor for favoring a federal ban on gay marriages.

“Basically, she wants to change the Constitution,” DeGeneres, 50, said of Palin, 44. “I don’t like it. I don’t agree! And maybe it’s because I’m gay that I think we should all be equal.”

With her signature humor, DeGeneres admitted to a personal interest in Election-Day results. “I can’t return the wedding gifts,” she quipped. “I love my new toaster.”

New season, new studio, new bride and a brand new gig - as Ellen DeGeneres divulges on Tuesday’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“You know how I always like to share what’s going on in my life with you all, and I was going to give you some news and, unfortunately, rumors started circulating all over the Internet,” DeGeneres, 50, informs her audience about the something new in her life that will take effect in January - and is bound to have her glowing.

“I am here to set the record straight right now. I am not pregnant. It just turned out to be a bump. I went and had it checked out,” she wisecracks.

Then came the real announcement: “I am the new face of CoverGirl.”

Secret Leaked

With her commercials for the makeup giant due to be shot soon and then debut after the first of the year, DeGeneres says, “We were going to let you know %26#91;in January%26#93;, but somehow people found out about it.”

Revealing a photo of herself being made camera-ready, DeGeneres says, “They’re putting some lip liner on me … Man, they love lip liner. I got hours and hours”

Overall, DeGeneres admits, “I am very, very excited about it. It’s a very cool thing, I’m honored and the photo shoot was ‘easy, breezy, beautiful … CoverGirl.’ ”

Perhaps it’s because she recently tied the knot herself, but Ellen DeGeneres seemed to be in a romantic mood while interviewing Ryan Seacrest for Monday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The new bride, 50, presses Seacrest, 33, on why he can’t seem to find love, according to excerpts of the show. On a helpful note, she comes up with a suggested date - Eva Mendes - and even offers to set him up with the actress.

“I want to know what love is?” says Seacrest, who at the end of last year told PEOPLE his goal for 2008 was to make time for a personal life.

“You’re calling me old,” interjects Seacrest.

“You’re getting old,” agrees DeGeneres. That’s when she takes out some photos to show him.

“They don’t know about this,” she says of the possible love interests she places before Seacrest, “but just as an idea of who would you choose out of these woman right here.”

Among the photos, besides Mendes’s, are those of Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Aniston.

Goes Right to Eva

“You have Eva,” points out Seacrest. “She’s gorgeous, and Jennifer is great, too.”

“You’re saying Eva Mendes, who you go to right away,” notes DeGeneres.

“Yeah, I kind of went there first,” says Seacrest. “I like Carrie, but then I kind of feel like she is part of Idol thing, so I don’t l know if that’s the right thing to do, to think about her in that way.”

Examining Spears’s photo, he says, “She looks like the sister (Jamie Lynn) there, because I was going to say she’s young and obviously there’s enough going on, and that’s not for me.”

As for Aniston, “I don’t know Jennifer,” says Seacrest.

Which brings DeGeneres back to Mendes. “I think she’s great,” concurs Seacrest. “What’s she like?”

“She’s great,” says DeGeneres. “Would you like me to set you up with her?”

He says, “Yeah.” She says, “Okay.”

With their weekend nuptials now behind them - and chronicled in words and exclusive pictures in the new issue of PEOPLE - Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are contemplating their future together.

They may not be alone.

“We go back and forth,” de Rossi, 35, tells PEOPLE about the prospect of having children. “I don’t know if it’s our immediate future. It’s something we talk about every few months.”

“It’s something we would never take lightly and just say, ‘That would be fun.’ It’s a lot of work and we recognize that,” says DeGeneres, 50. “In a way, we want to be selfish because we love our life, but we know how much that adds to it.”

And, Ellen adds, “If they would be as pretty as Brad and Angelina’s kids, we might.”

With the “I dos” still fresh on her mind, Ellen DeGeneres joined the coverage of her weekend nuptials by addressing her fans on the Web site of her syndicated TV show.

“I had a big weekend,” writes the Ellen DeGeneres Show host, 50. “I got married to Portia de Rossi! Sorry, John Stamos … this one’s taken.”

Pointing out the cursive-script-style of her message as it appears on her site (accompanied by a photo of the couple), Ellen writes, “You may notice something different about the way I’m writing … it’s fancy. This is the font I type in now that I’m MARRIED!”

As for Saturday’s ceremony, which was held at DeGeneres and De Rossi’s home in Los Angeles, DeGeneres states, “The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could’ve invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8th. I can’t wait to see them too … it was all a blur.”

But, clearly, a happy one. DeGeneres signs off with, “Blissfully yours, The just married Mrs. DeGeneres” - with the “Mrs.” underscored.

Saturday evening was full of love, laughter, and a few tears for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who exchanged personal wedding vows in front of their closest family and friends at their home in L.A.

In an exclusive interview and photos, DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, share the most romantic moments of the night with PEOPLE.

“What can I say? I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” says DeGeneres. “She’s officially off the market. No one else gets her. And now she’ll cook and clean for me.”

Amid candles and flowers by Mark’s Garden, both brides, wearing designs by Zac Posen, sat on floor pillows along with author Wayne Dyer, who officiated the ceremony.

“The love we felt from the people surrounding us, and the love we have for each other, made this the most beautiful and emotional day,” says de Rossi. “And one that we’ll never forget.”

Singer/songwriter Joshua Radin was elated to serenade Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi on Saturday during their private nuptials.

“I cannot imagine topping that experience,” Radin told PEOPLE exclusively of his performance for DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35. “I’ve never played a wedding before, and I probably won’t again until it’s my own.”

For his performance, Radin - who was hand-picked by DeGeneres as a surprise for de Rossi - sang acoustic renditions of several new tracks, including the ballad “They Bring Me To You.”

But Radin isn’t the only one to share his happiness for the newlyweds: Congratulations have started flooding in. “I wish her all the best, all the happiness, all the joy that comes with that certificate in hand,” Katherine Heigl, a self-proclaimed fan of DeGeneres, said upon hearing the news.

Grey’s Anatomy star T.R. Knight also sent his congrats along with his relief that same-sex marriage is now legal in California. “I happy that they’re happy,” said Knight. “I’m happy that they’re allowed to get married.”

Ring the wedding bells!

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have tied the knot.

“Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles,” their spokesperson tells PEOPLE exclusively.

DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, both wore Zac Posen and exchanged rings by Neil Lane during the Saturday ceremony. Their big day also featured arrangements by L.A. florist Mark’s Garden.

The intimate ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres’s mom Betty and de Rossi’s mother Margaret Rogers (who flew in from Australia for the occasion), who witnessed the couple exchange handwritten vows.

The following month de Rossi showed off a 3-carat diamond ring set on a pink pavé band DeGeneres presented to her for their upcoming nuptials when the pair attended the Daytime Emmy Awards together.

“She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her,” the TV host said of de Rossi last year. “We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, okay, this is completion.’”
