Thank you, EVERYONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH. HAVE A SEAT AND RIGHT BACK at all of you. I appreciate it so very much and you I'm walking around a little bit better than yesterday. Yesterday, oh, my back was hurt Oh, my back. Um and I it's been okay for a while. For those of you who need to be recapped, I swear, you just please watch the show every day so I don't have to repeat myself.
Last season, for those of you who didn't see, I was in a car accident with the paparazzi. They hit me from behind. But they got good pictures of it. And so uh So anyway, yeah, we were rear-ended and my back has been in a terrible pain. And then and then I lifted a puppy and pulled a ligament and tore a fracture, I don't know. And so anyway, I did my show here from bed and in pain lots of pain pills in me and I don't remember the shows, but we got good ratings. And so So anyway, so now my back has been okay cuz I started Pilates, but then I haven't done Pilates in about a month and so now my back is bad again. And yesterday, my back was really bad. And anybody who has back problems, you know, it's just this
chronic pain is just and people think you're fine. Like right now I'm standing okay, but I'm in pain. And it's cuz see this stance right here, see how I'm sort of slanted like that? That's not normal. That you should not stand like this. And then it affects how you walk, it affects, you know, you shouldn't you should This is how usually I'm walking around like that. And you shouldn't walk like that unless you're a cowboy or a penguin or something then that's okay to walk like that. Everything takes longer to do, to get dressed. Oh, you should see me trying to get dressed yesterday. Uh I didn't get my pants on until right before those doors opened. I was back there trying to get my pants on.
Oh god, and sneezing. Anybody who has a back problem knows you Oh, you can feel it coming on and you just look for something to grab. You just like a chair, a table, a frightened staff member, a I hope that person works here. They ran so fast. I don't know. But I and you make noises like crazy when your back hurts. And you're not even aware of it until you all of a sudden go, "Oh man, I've been making noises for about 10 minutes now." Like every time YOU MOVE, "OH! Oh my god! Oh! Help me!" It's like you're a soul singer all of a sudden. You're like, "OH! GOOD GOD! OH! AH! OH! LORD!" EVERYBODY HAS SOME KIND OF remedy and they want you to do you ice it or you heat it or you stretch it or you lay flat. And just hearing all those things
make my back hurt. I'm just shut up. And then there's always the one person they have Let me walk on your back. Please, let me walk on your back. And it's like, "Could you just deliver the pizza and leave?" My back might hurt, but here's how much I love you people. Uh we have done 703 shows. I've never called in sick, not one day.

I've said it before, I have the best job in the world cuz we come to work every single day, all of us that work here, and we laugh. And uh they say laughter is the best medicine, but not for a back ache, I'll tell you. Oh, a laugh turns into a scream if you start to Have you ever had somebody around you, anybody who's had surgery and they're like, "Oh, don't make me laugh." And that's hard for me cuz I'm a comedian. And I'm like, "All right, let's just dance."

But, we've known each other for a long time and this is the first time on the show, but I'm thrilled to have you here. Well, okay. I'm sure your audience doesn't know this, but Ellen and I actually screen tested for a movie together called Casual Sex. We were paired up as the girls who were going to go on vacation and find cool guys. And of course It didn't work out for me. GET THE PART.
BUT WE HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING IT. THAT WAS A BLAST. WE DID HAVE FUN DOING IT. YEAH, they probably were like, "That Rita's good, but I don't buy it for the other girl." She's not believable at all. And you've been here before. And yeah, who was in Casual Sex? Who was in that movie? up uh well, um Wendy uh I don't know. I forgot. Does any funny though. It actually got made and it was funny. I don't remember the movie. Well, it would have been a lot bigger had we been in it.
Exactly. And now and how's the little baby? Ryder, right? He's great. He's getting so big. He's going to be 4 in January. Oh, come on. Oh, look at his Oh my god. That's adorable. That's my booby. Oh, yeah, dig it. He's he's hilarious. He's like this little comedian. I do you know comedian Bill Hicks? Do you know who I'm talking about? He's sort of like he was like this great sort of politic kind of political social he'd be funny and serious all at the same time. And Ryder's like a 4-year-old Bill Hicks.
It's No. And I was telling somebody backstage this story about Ryder where that my mom told me and we call mom Gogo and so he was talking to Gogo and he said, "You know, Gogo um uh the planet's dying. And Wait, how old is he? He's 4. Okay. Not even. Right. And we're going to have to move to another planet when this planet dies." And Gogo goes, "Wha- really?" And he goes, "Yeah, you know who's killing the planet?" And she goes, "No, who?" "The Popsaropsies." That's my son. AND FOUR. That's amazing. It's kind of crazy. And I mean the fact that he even knows the word is weird. But like you know, Popsaropsies. are killing the planet.
Well, he's mixing a lot of different facts up, but maybe he's got something. I don't know what he It was like, well, it's yeah. That's hilarious. That's so funny. That's my boy. He's cute and that hair is adorable. Yeah, he won't let me cut it. And then finally I said, "We're going to have to cut your hair, you know?" And he goes, "Yeah, Mom." Uh and I go, "Well, can I cut it?" He goes, "Yeah, I want a mohawk." And I was like, I can't. I Okay. Yeah. They were cutting it another time. you're just going to let it grow longer and longer.
I think it's a daddy thing. I think his daddy's got long hair, so he loves his long hair. could do the mohawk where it's like flat ironed and hair sprayed really tall like that with a long At home. Yeah. Just at home. LONG LIKE I'M KIND OF A LITTLE bit of a big believer of like he might be three and a half, but he loves to put on his own clothes. He loves his hair. You know, let him do it. I just Yeah, it's his own expression. Exactly. start they start young. Yeah. Speaking of independence, you and I have something in common that I feel really good about this year.
Uh you're turning 50, I'm turning 50. Doesn't it feel like there's nothing wrong with it? it's the best thing ever in the whole wide world. I want to tell you can say anything you want when you're 50 cuz you've earned the right to do that. How many ladies out there are 50? All right. I know. AND THE OTHER thing for instance, like the other night we're in New York and we're in the car. It was really warm in New York the other night and we're driving down the I had the window rolled down in the car. And I look out to the side and there's this woman sitting like this and some guy is yelling at her and he's like, "You know, and you should have done it this way and you know, you said you were going to call and why
didn't you call?" And he's berating her, clearly a lover's quarrel. So I the window's open and I just yell at her, "WALK AWAY." AND HONESTLY YEAH. AND IT WASN'T LIKE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND I THOUGHT, "I'M GOING TO tell this, you know, what?" It's just like it just blurts out because you're 50. It's like, "Walk away." You just say it. Exactly. I agree with you. Uh we have to take a break. We'll be right back. We'll talk about this uh the directing of the real women We're back with Kate Hudson and Rita Wilson and uh Kate's trying to get me to give her some money. She said she's she
said to play some poker. I'm bad though. I thought I was good and then I played with people who are good and now I realize I'm bad. All right, so let's talk It's real women essays uh and Glamour magazine uh it started this whole thing. Yeah, it's called it's real moments. It's like um uh basically what they've done is they put together this uh program or thing where they ask women who usually in front of the camera to come behind the camera and they take real-life stories from uh their readers and this year Clinique sponsored and there's always a theme every year and this year's theme is Clinique Happy so it's happiness and um and that's what it is and it was amazing.
Yeah. All right, the story you know, the stories come from women all over the country. Just normal women. your stories. You're just directing someone else's story. And the stories are submitted by Glamour readers and the story that I chose actually came from a writer who lives in Sherman Oaks, California which is right here, our home turf. Can I say her name? Can I say it? Her name is Michelle K. I'm saying yes. I have no idea. Sure you can. And um and I just thought that was I didn't know that she was from Sherman Oaks, California and wrote it but I love this story that she wrote.
I can't wait to see it and also you sing actually a song in yours, right? Yes. You sing yourself. Yes, Kate wrote hers and I sang a song in mine and that came up very interestingly enough and I really would like to thank Diane Warren because she wrote the song and gave us the song and you know who she is. She's like the hit master. She's written every song you've ever heard on the radio. It's true. And Diane Warren I was looking for a song for the end of the movie and there's enormous rights issues to play songs with labels that are attached blah. So I was 3 days away from locking my movie and she said, well you know, we were at a dinner and a friend said, well what are you looking for? And she says, I'm looking
for a song. And she said, well what's your movie about? And I said it's about a woman who goes through a thing and then something happens and she's better. And she goes, well how about this? And she puts her Nano on my ears, her headphones. Actually my Nano on my ears would be weird but her headphones from her Nano. And she said, what about this song? And it was this song called Lessons Learned. And I started like, this is the best most perfect song ever. I can't believe it. And she says, well you know, that's great. You can use it. And I said, no, you don't understand. We have rights issues. We can't. It's so complicated. And she said, no, I'll give it to you. And I said, thank
you very much but I know we can't. She goes, no, you understand. I'm the owner of the song. I'm the publisher of the song. I'm giving it to you for free. Wow. So she gave it to us and we she said, all you need is somebody to sing it. My voice coach happened to be there. He says, Rita can sing it. So I was like, I can? Okay. that's one of the best things about this Yeah and also you have this thing where you're you're calling in all these favors kind of and everybody comes through, you know? And that's like I kept saying on when I was shooting the movie there's this Van Morrison song called My Woman and he says, and all
my friends came through and all my friends came through. And that's that's what kept going on in my head was that's kind of what happened. And then everybody who worked on it had such a blast. And it kind of reminds you we have so much fun making movies and it should feel like this. It should feel like a blast, you know? Yeah. And if you want to see it that can watch Glamour's Real moments on glamour.com beginning Monday, October 15th and uh thank And you can download the song for free um from glamour.com or clinique.com and every time you download it, money Glamour is donating to charity.

Four weeks ago, I was on a trapeze. No. I wish it was that exciting. Um I was walking down my stairs, and um I fell. I did a banana peel like How many stairs?
Like 12. And cement stairs, right? It was like parking lot? Yeah, parking lot. And then I was like cuz you know you can't breathe. I was like huh Nobody was around except couple tumbleweeds, and then I decided to try to get to the lobby, and the only way I could do it was crawl on this arm. So I crawled like this all the way across the garage. Of course there's people everywhere all the time. Not this day. No, no, no. So I crawl and I get to the guy and I'm like, "I think I hurt myself." Kind of like how you were, "My back, my back." I was like, "My ribs, my ribs." And then burning sensation and I was
getting ready to go out on a date. And the guy took me to the hospital instead. What a What's a good first date? It was a wonderful date. He saw all my lingerie. Uh-huh. So you wore some nice lingerie for the hospital. Nice to meet you. Uh-huh. I'm so glad I matched. Uh-huh. So and what was it? I basically cracked two ribs and I have deep chest wall contusions and they thought that I broke my back, but I didn't. I didn't break my back.
Wow. And so the ribs are just sticking out? They're kind of sticking out and I'm a little swollen. Well, do they just put themselves back in a place? Yeah, you don't put a cast on for ribs. Like my dad said if you were a football player you'd been sidelined. Uh-huh. And basically I had to go to work and of course it was my big episode coming up and they were like, "How are you feeling?" I was like, "I think I broke my ribs." Okay, be on set of eight. Yeah, they were great. They really were. They were like, "Sorry about that. Percocet?"
Percocet, by the way, is a great drug. What are you taking? Uh I forgot what they gave me. I took something for a little while. Uh I can't remember the name of it. It wasn't Percocet. It was something else and I did it for a couple of days and then I was like, "I don't want to get on this stuff. This is bad." it can addict you, but evidently I was very good in the scenes. Uh-huh. Like you said you didn't Right. And they just said they saw the episode the other day and I was great. I was better than ever and I was like, "Should I just take drugs?"
Yeah. I mean, no, I shouldn't. I don't advocate drug taking unless you're your performance better, you maybe you should, you know? So and what happened to the uh to the guy? Are you still dating him? I mean, you know, it's going slow and he's so great. I mean, he like I said, he did see my lingerie and he called my mom. He's like, "Hi, you don't know me, but I'm in an I'm not an Italian restaurant. I'm at Cedars." And she's like, "Is that a good place?" She didn't know. No, but you know, she's a sweet southern lady, but anyway Well, I can't believe you're able to move around and laugh and everything with it's amazing. But when you said laughing or coughing, go to the bathroom.

Your hair was long. You were like Well, okay, I think you know I've had some hair issues.

So, what they do is when they wet your head, they go So, I got in of the shower and I was
like, "Hmm, thick. Hmm, why is it like Princess Leia buns all over my head?" Oh my god, I can't get a comb through it. So, they had to cut them out and I had a big concert the next night in front of like 500 big wigs and uh the extension lady came over and brought over Nikki Ziering's hair for the Playboy Playmate girl. Uh-huh. And I got a whole new head of hair and after that I thought, you know, I'm done. I'm just done. I'm going to be my own natural self and I cut I didn't cut it, but fantastic. You like it?

Um during the course of those 2 weeks, I get a call from my mother and she says that Bosco's Bosco got out of the gate somehow. And so, I panic of course. And then she tells me a couple of seconds later that he had just been groomed so he didn't have his tags on. So, if you were to see this little guy roaming around a city that's strange to him, he would have no tags on and no way of you knowing whose owner was. But, I remembered that I he had a little microchip. It's about rice sized implanted right underneath his skin. And
um and I called the home the people of HomeAgain and updated my information with my mom's information that would never change. And um and 3 and 1/2 years later, they found him. In Arizona? Arizona. So, I mean, I got I want to know So, 3 and 1/2 years later, 400 miles away in Arizona, this dog's wandering around No tags still. No tags. Bosco, what happened during all that time? Tell us what happened. This is the cutest dog I've ever seen. That's such a sweet dog. All right. So, we want more happy endings like that. So, we want everybody to go to HomeAgain.
