"I'm getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today at 11am. Come watch me! Also, I'd love a ride home. 6270 Hollywood Blvd," DeGeneres tweeted before the event. 

As a newly minted Hollywood star, DeGeneres launches the 10th season of "Ellen" next Monday. With Katie Couric, Ricki Lake and Jeff Probst launching new shows and all the other talk shows back from hiatus, she's not pulling any punches. "Ellen" posted a slew of celebrity-heavy anniversary videos in August and has a big premiere week planned. 

On Monday, expect a rocking performance and chat with P!nk, "Greys Anatomy" premiere dish from Patrick Dempsey and gymnastics fun with U.S. Women's Olympic gold medal gymnasts Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross.

DeGeneres will also take on gay bashing and applaud community action on Monday with guests Jordan Addison and Richard Henegar Jr.. After Radford University sophomore Addison had his car vandalized with homophobic slurs, Henegar Jr., the manager of a family owned auto paint and body shop in Roanoke, Va., helped him by gathering $10,000 in donated parts from the local community and then putting in over 100 hours of work rebuilding the car.

The rest of the week promises visits with Britney Spears and Simon Cowell ("The X Factor") and Allison Janney ("Finding Nemo 3D"), along with performances by Dave Matthews Band, Little Big Town and Phillip Phillips. Plus, Sophia Grace & Rosie host "Tea Time" with Reese Witherspoon, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber.

"Ellen" airs weekdays in syndication.
