TMZ contacted PETA to get their expert opinion on the whole Ellen vs. Mutts and Moms ordeal, and the animal protection group is standing by Ellen!

PETA said, "At a time when so many people in Hollywood, like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, are making impetuous "pet" purchases, PETA commends Ellen for adopting a homeless animal from a shelter rather than buying a dog. Every animal purchased from a pet store is a virtual death sentence for an animal desperately waiting in a shelter for a home."

Just days after his tearful goodbye from professional tennis, Andre Agassi was treated to a special retirement package courtesy of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres -- coupons to Sizzler and a shuffleboard set.
"Nothing says retirement like shuffleboard," Ellen joked.
During the segment which will air Friday, the tennis great volleyed back and forth Ellen about his highly emotional journey into retirement, once again thanking the fans for their unwavering support.
"I haven't been prepared for the emotions that would hit me," said Agassi. "It just felt really ... nice."
